    Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

    Is this shoe the same sizing as carmina? 9UK equals 10US? I am interested in getting a pair of the black captoes as well.

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    The burgundy shell shoes I received were more of a Horween #8, like the Alden shoes. The cognac shell in double monk was dark. I actually wanted to get a pair of saddle shell double monks, but the MTO price was equivalent of being able to get 2 pairs instead of just 1. The only way I could...

    It was a long wait as I ordered them in March, but told Betty to hold them until May when I came back to the U.S. They shipped from Inca, Spain and arrived in Southern CA in 3 days! Fedex must have shipped them on a passenger plane or something. Betty was great to deal with and nailed my size...

    I am a size 34 and the belt only goes to the first hole. I don't like wearing my belts that short and prefer more length maybe through the 3-4 hole. Let me know by PM if you are interested as I am in southern CA and flying out of country again on the 31st. I can even send more pics. The...

    Promised photos. I shined up the Tan pair of calf shoes with saphir, which is a wonderful product from the board sponsor "Hanger Project". Still waiting on the deer bone to shine up the cordovan pairs. Thanks to this board for helping me find this great shoemaker. I have had pairs of Aldens...

    Momotaro

    I ordered some momotaro jeans, shirts, PBJ denim from Okayadenim and and-japan. They both arrived and no duties had to be paid for delivery from Japan to So Cal. I really enjoy the G003-MB OW details on the outside and inside. The 0701 are very stiff and have to get them hemmed after I get...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I ordered 3 pairs of shoes, 2 shoe trees, and a cordovan belt from Carmina (Inca, Spain) and they were shipped to my place in So Cal with no customs/duties owed. It arrived DHL from Spain in 3 days! I will take pics of shoes, but am always traveling. The belt ended up 1 size too small so I...

    Momotaro

    I put in an order through okayadenim and and-japan.com. Both have great prices for momo and also okayama is very helpful with sizing questions. I just placed an order yesterday. I am thinking they are proxy. Hopefully don't get slammed by customs.

    I have a jean...(The Ultimate Jean Thread For Beginners) - ask questions here.

    I got a pair of Sugar Cane Okinawa from Kiya and they fit wonderfully after a few wears. I didn't realize that the jeans had to stretch after a few wears in order for them to be comfortable. From my understanding, they have one wash. Does anyone know of Tommy Hilfiger Mercer and Naked and...

    I got quoted 650 euro + 40 euro shipping for a MTO in saddle shell for the double monk. Really would love to do a MTO, but would like to get fitted at the store. One day I will make that trip. I opted to get the cognac shell double monks, another pair of burgundy shell shoes, 2 sets of shoe...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I ordered the cognac shell double monks and can't tell from the photos on Carmina's website (dark brown) or kayjaybee's photo (light brown). I was going to get a MTO in saddle shell, but if they are truly light brown, then that would be wonderful.

    The Official Carmina Sizing Thread

    I e-mailed Betty and she suggested sizing 1 down from your US size. They should correct it on their webstore as it states that 10US should order 9.5UK, but Betty suggested getting 9UK. I am sure she is more knowledgable selling shoes for a living. I can't wait to see them in person. I...

    Prices Carmina shoes

    Betty is very responsive and I am about to put an order in for the double monk in saddle shell MTO in my size for 650 euro plus 40 euro shipping to the U.S. She stated it takes 10 weeks to be made and then shipped. My first MTO shoe and haven't even tried it on, but thanks for everyone's real...

    I can only wear Levi's 569 jeans comfortable since I need the space and would like to know do any manufacturers make selvedge jeans in a similar fit? All I can find are slim bootcut and normal. Thanks for your help in advance.
