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

     Just to clarify, the "Marlow" I ordered isn't the RL Marlow but a Marlow-style GMTO direct from C&J on the normal (E) width 325 last. I have a low volume foot and was worried about width but Lauren at C&J said that where the 325 is a little wide is in the toe. Rain is, if anything, a little...

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

     I would have guessed UK 9 for Rain last for you. UK 9.5 fits me well and I am a pretty straightforward 10.5 Brannock. I wear 10D in Barrie, UK 9.5 in a few different Carmina lasts, 10.5D in a every AE last I've tried, etc. I don't have the extensive C&J experience you have which limits our...

     Nice! Does that say Spring 2017 on the signage?

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

    I suspect Carmina has made significant changes to its back end systems and parts of the manufacturing process to accommodate the new distribution channels and the new customization program, and we are just seeing some growing pains. Maybe now isn't the best time to order from them directly but...

    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

     Strange, I had to size down a half size in that boot. I wear the same size as I do in Alden Barrie.

    A few questions on wholecuts

     Carmina, for one. They offer them in black, burgundy, and navy on their website.

    UK 9.5 Carlos Santos Espresso Suede Chukka

    For sale is a beautiful Espresso Suede Carlos Santos Chukka in size UK 9.5 on the 160 last. I purchased these from Skoaktiebolaget in the fall but have only worn them once because they just don't really fit in my rotation. The one time I wore them was to work in the conservative business dress during dry conditions...

    Crockett & Jones for Ralph Lauren Cordovan (Marlow, Darlton, Gifford, Garran, Lindrick, McCallum, Rh

     I'm not intimately familiar with RL's sales events but I wonder if they marked up the normal price so they don't have to exclude Marlows from their sales. $1000/$1350= ~75% so they could apply a 25% sale to the new price and they'd still be available at $1000 to informed buyers.

    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

     Yes! I've been having a lot of problems with PC shirts stretching in the wash. Mostly the midsection but also the sleeve length in many cases. It happens on the very first wash before the shirts have been worn. Basically instead of shrinking as expected, the shirts stretch by as much as...

    BNWT 54R Corneliani Wool/Linen Blue Suit w/ Peak Lapels

    This is a listing for an incredible, new-with-tags Corneliani mainline suit. It features full canvas construction. Made in Italy to the highest standards. I purchased this suit BNWT from forum member jrd617 but it is too big for me. This was back before I knew my measurements and was just...
