    FS: Santoni suede chukkas 7.5

    I bought this pair of Santoni chukkas at Milord in Firenze a couple of years ago and never got to wear them much, as the pictures will demonstrate. In total, I would say I wore them less than 15 times. Very sleek last, superb with casual clothing, works well with suits or sports coats too for a...

    Do I need to get my EGs resoled?

    Gentlemen, I have this pair of EG Russell since 3 years and a half. Since then I've been wearing them quite regularly, I would say 2 to 3 times a week on average, with a 1 year pause (business school) in between. So 2-3 wearings/week over 2 years and a half. I'm going to London this week-end...

    Question on Filson bags

    Hi, I'm considering buying a Filson bag to carry my laptop around the airports, client sites and other fantastic places where my job is taking me. I'm basically looking for something not too big and less dull than the classic laptop bag. Would the model 256 fit the bill if I put the laptop in a...

    Online sources for classic belts ?

    The title says it all ... I'm looking for a classical, plain black leather belt with a classical buckle and was wondering if you had online references you'd like to share (they would have to ship to Europe and I don't care about the brand). Thanks Tibo

    Online sources for gray ties for morning coats

    After long years sporting all sorts of colour ties with my morning coat I would like to try the official, formal combination and would like to go with a gray tie with a small pattern (houndstooth for instance). Hackett's offering is nice but they don't ship outside UK. Any other ideas ...

    Antiquing (sort of) : from chestnut to dark oak

    So this is how it all started: with a new pair of C&J Belgrave in chestnut (sorry, I have no better pics readily available): I decided I wanted them to be in a shade approaching EG's dark oak. I just gave them a shine with Saphir dark brown (050) I think and I'm quite pleased with the...

    Brand new C&J chestnut Belgrave 8.5E

    Just checking if there is interest for a pair of C&J Belgraves (handgrade) in chestnut which I ordered last week from Pediwear. Size: 8.5E (UK sizing). Last 337. I collected them on Monday at the post office and wore them on Monday afternoon, mostly in the office. Very minor scratches on the...

    Should I order from P.Lal or Pediwear ?

    OK so I want to order a pair of C&J Belgrave in chestnut. I got a quote from P.Lal and Pediwear matched it. Now I'm planning to order from Pediwear as I'm based in Europe and this is a more convenient option, but I'm having second thoughts out of fidelity as P. Lal made the nice offer first ...

    Thoughts on quilted jackets

    I found a fantastic picture on The Sartorialist which revived my inclination for quilted jackets : Thoughts on this kind of jackets ? I plan to buy one in navy and thought this was the Barbour Liddesdale. However on Barbour's website I'm a little scared by the "shiny" appearance of the...

    My turn to require a dress code definition

    I'm starting an MBA in September at a leading school and I am invited with my partner to an open day for accepted students. The invitation mentions "casual" for the day and "smart casual" for the dinner. I've got an idea of what I might want to wear at this occasion but thought I'd ask to...

    Jeans with narrow hem

    Hi there Sorry for the newbie question, any help appreciated ... Until now I was wearing Levi's 501 but the I don't dig the new 501 style (much too large at the hem for my tastes). I'm on the market for a pair of jeans which would have a 18-19 cm hem, but wouldn't be too tight on the legs...

    What is excessive sole wearing (ie when should I send shoes back to EG) ?

    Gentlemen- For one reason or another I have found out that I'm more risk averse with my EG's than I used to be with other shoes regarding sole wearing. I just took care of my beloved Russells and found out that the tip of the sole was already kind of worn out (picture attached). I have them...

    My yearly London shopping experience

    I'm just back from my annual week-end in London for shopping purposes, here are a couple of quick thoughts regarding this visit Jermyn Street - I've been amazed by J-street's further evolution to a "constant sales" place. - I really have the impression that the place is divided in two: on the...

    An experienced London shopper in London -addresses wanted

    I know this is somewhat of a cyclical thread here at SF, but I'm going to London in early December for one week-end which will most probably be devoted to shopping. I usually shop on Jermyn Str (Hilditch & Key and New & Lingwood are my favorites shirtmakers, I like Hackett as well, I'm fond of...

    Ermenegildo Zegna fabrics

    I just came across a quite nice plain navy SB 2.5b suit in an Ermenegildo Zegna fabric and with a nice cut, for as much as 300 USD at a local store. I'm looking for a navy all-rounder suit at a very reasonable price, something I'll be able to wear on my lazy days or in the plane, so I thought...
