    Ordering Leica MP

    I use several types of Leica M's (M2, M3, M4, M7, MPs) and to me, the look is iconic. If this wasn't your first M and you were getting an ala carte from Leica, I would seriously consider absolutely NO engraving except the MP-serial number as the shape/look obviously says LEICA. The same...

    LL Bean trim fit shirts

    How trim is the LL Bean trim fit shirts compared to Brooks Brothers extra slim fit shirts. The pictures on the LL Bean website don't appear slim at all but they may be just generic pictures of their shirts in general.

    Which slim fit white button down oxford?

    I am looking for very slim fit white button down oxfords that would be casually worn with khakis (Bill's Khaki M3 plain front) and likely cordovan Aldens. The shirt(s) can be either washed/vintage or not. I'm very boring so this is my casual "uniform" on non-work days. Either heavier weight...

    Leather soles and rain

    +1 Topied soles when it's wet...or not. I also have a bright yellow pair of Swims but I feel like they get a lot of attention that sometimes I don't care for. I wanted brown but they didn't have my size in brown so the SA talked me into yellow as it's a "classic" raingear color. Do I need to...

    Alligator strap for vintage watch

    I have replaced my alligator strap of my PP watch with another one of their straps and they are nice and thin without any of the padding seen on the OP's photo. Any authorized PP dealer should have them readily available. They should be able to replace the strap for you while you wait.

    What paste wax for Whiskey cordovan?

    I have the color 8 paste wax for my like colored cordovans when a good brushing fails to shine them up enough. I have a whiskey cordovan in a long wing. What color paste wax can I use. Alden doesn't seem to make a color specific wax.

    Marcoliani sock from Howard Yount

    I want to get some but no size options listed. I wear a size 10.5 US shoe. I imagine this is about average so the sock will fit but I want to be sure.

    Viccel.com socks

    Looking at ordering the wool/silk socks. On the picture in the website, there seems to be a light tan and red which aren't options when placing an order online. Has anyone been able to order red or light tan or the lighter brown? How do these wear BTW?

    Affordable Over the Calf Socks

    Has anyone ordered the wool/silk blended socks from Viccel and have experience to give a review? I am interested in specifically in the OTC wool/silk blend as most of the responses I assume are for the cotton socks he sells.

    Wallets

    Went to Hermes, they had the usual billfold design and also a nice one with a vertical orientation for the credit cards, was $1100. Just bought the Swaine Adeney Brigg in London Tan. It's OK. I guess I'm not a big fan of soft/thin calfskin. Currently, I spoke with Bea from AIP who is making...
