What's the best way to sell a suit and what sort of luck and pricing should you use
I have a suit (BOSS), wool, 42L that's about 1.5-2 years old, medium to dark gray. It's a James4/Sharp6 which is apparently, some reference to the cut/fit of the suit. I bought it for a wedding, and probably won't wear it again. I'm trying to downsize a bit and thought that it would be nice...- BoxSRS60

Some folks online get testy if they think that you've "questioned" them, so I like to add a disclaimer to make sure there are no misunderstandings. Not that I'd ever buy a pair of shoes like that, but I was curious. Thanks- BoxSRS60

Just got my first pair of shoes from the Independence line. I'd been eyeing the closeout Jeffersons on shoebank for a while. I wanted a new pair of black shoes, and I really wanted a pair of shoes in Walnut. I watched them and watched them until they disappeared from shoebank. I told my wife...- BoxSRS60

I'm not arguing, just honestly curious. A recrafting wouldn't/couldn't fix that? I understand that they take the shoes apart and rebuild them on the last. Or is the leather like metal that's gotten a crease and is now too deformed to go back?- BoxSRS60

I've got Cognac McTavish and Black McTavish (both from shoebank, and the black was $117, woo hoo!). I wanted to get Lamar belts to go with them. I had seen one or two of the Lamar on shoebank, but they were gone. Both colors are currently available on allenedmonds.com for $98. Is this...- BoxSRS60

www.allenedmonds.com, sometimes there are shoes on clearance. I think a couple of times a year, they go on sale. I think there's a sale in April and maybe in June or July. Right now Nordstrom has several Allen Edmonds shoes on sale for 25% off, which is pretty big. Understand what it...- BoxSRS60

Got a question. I bought a light-medium gray suit today. I'll be wearing it in the afternoon and evening this weekend with a medium blue shirt and a darker blue tie. The suit/shirt/tie combo looks fantastic. I don't have a picture, but do you think Oxblood Carlyles would go with this combo...- BoxSRS60

What have you done to your black McTavishes, if anything? I just got some black McTavishes, and I love them. I've also got the cognac (the darker, not the lighter) and I love them as well. I put a little neutral polish on the toe and counter of the cognac and like it (did the same for my...- BoxSRS60

I also got the orange laces with the Olive shoes. They looked ok to me, but I also had the navy Rush St, so I put the orange in the Navy shoes (orange and blue are complimentary colors) and then bought some red to go in the olive Rush St (green and red are complimentary colors as well) and I...- BoxSRS60

It's great, you should try it. I've got blue laces in my dk brown McTavish, red in my olive Rush St, and orange in my navy Rush St. I've also got several other colors. Push yourself outside of your comfort zone.- BoxSRS60

I'm a bit jealous. I bought some expecting to be that color, but they were much darker. I still really like them, but zzzi would have preferred the lightercolor. I really love them and love the soles compared to the slicker soles of my other leather soled shoes. I just odered a pair in black...- BoxSRS60

1 What sort of finish are you looking for? Really glossly, semi glossy, or just a warm glow? 2 See above 3 I think there are differing opinions on this. I think it depends upon how often you wear them and the environment that you wear them in. I think you can just condition them...- BoxSRS60

Very nice. I think if I was to do something similar, I would use a dark red like a burgundy and a dark chocolate brown to give it a warmer, browner tone.- BoxSRS60

Nice imagery, probably aided by your lack of sleep and primal desire to feel like you were cuddling a slipper soft pillow. So, better liner and better materials. So it sounds like everything is a higher quality. The only big upgrade left would be the JR soles (assuming we're sticking with...- BoxSRS60
