    Custom Hand-Sewn Bag from Simon Baker and Full Review

    I finally got my case from Simon after a long delay. However, I have to admit that the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship make up for all of this. The case is simply gorgeous, and I am glad that I ordered from him. This case will last for a lifetime and beyond. I took it with me in the...

    Custom Hand-Sewn Bag from Simon Baker and Full Review

    Is Simon Baker legitimate? I am starting to worry. I placed an order last April, and paid half the cost of the case. We are at the beginning of July, and I have not heard anything from him, nor did I receive any news on the progress of my case.

    Newest Acquisition of SC

    About three weeks ago, I received my new Saint Crispins. It is Model 532 FC made on the screwdriver last in dark brown. It is a unique pair, and one of the best SC I have ever owned. I am inserting few pictures for your review. Please, forgive me if these do not include a picture of the soles. I...

    New & Lingwood RTW Suits

    I use their MTO services, and I am very satisfied! I have been a customer for the last 5 years. I can say that it is comparable to Ede & Ravenscroft in terms of craftmanship, and quality of construction.

    This is a clothing forum not a shoe forum. If you post pictures of your clothes they're gonna get critiqued and I can speak my mind if I want to. The forum is about clothes. However, this thread is about shoes. But, I agree, you may criticize whatever you want. It is ok with me!

    Received Saint Crispins

    Dear Sir, I believe whatever shoes you buy, it is how they look, behave on the foot until your first repair (read 2 years), which is really important. Is the finish the same, does it last, how about the leather, does it stretch, it should of course, but how much etc. I am glad you are happy with...

    I'll echo what everyone else has said, those shoes look extremely cool. I don't think we should be faulted for commenting on the jeans, though. I mean the issue on this forum is dress. It's kind of like showing the engine of your car to a bunch of car enthusiasts, but refusing to let them...

    @Mbkoissy (OP): Beautiful SCs!!! Congrats. Technical question: Do you get most of your shoes online/through the mail? I notice you're in Washington DC, which is not exactly a shoe mecca. Skyvalet has a small collection of C&J and EG, but otherwise, nice shoes are not easy to come by. The...

    If you have the money to buy $900 shoes you should get some jeans that don't look like what every 30 your old man in the US wears. Something darker and not stone washed. Fuji: Thank you for your post. First, the cost of the shoes are 900 Euros. Second, I can wear whatever pair of jeans I want...

    Received Saint Crispins

    I would love to know this as well. I have always wanted to order a pair but have always been worried about sizing issues. I contacted Phillip Car one of the principals at SC. We discussed the size issue in depth. He asked me what shoes I wore, and I listed the EGs, C&J, JL, etc. I wear a...

    Considering how nice your shoes are you should get better jeans. What are you talking about? I was simply home, wearing an old pair of Levis 501 jeans when the shoes came in. How better should they be?

    Received Saint Crispins

    Price was approximately 900 Euros including fitted shoe trees, metal tips, and shipping charges.

    Received Saint Crispins

    Few weeks ago, I posted a couple of pictures of a new pair of Saint Crispins that I ordered. I received them today via DHL. They are simply gorgeous, and much better looking than in the picture. The patina is black faded. But with the light and flash, the shoes appear dark brown. This is very...

    Pictures of New Saint Crispin's

    Phillip Carr of SC just sent me a picture of my newest acquisition. I haven't received the shoe yet since I am traveling on the road. But I cannot stop from being in awe. I will of course send more pictures once I receive the real shoes.

    New G&G Connaught in Midnight Blue

    Klein was a French artist, working most prominently in the 50s, who created paintings entirely in a shade of blue he named Yves Klein Blue. It was in fact just ultramarine. Your shoes are a very beautiful color. If they were mine I wouldn't use black polish, even though it was provided. I'd let...

    Yves Klein would have been proud of these shoes. Who is he?

    Are they a 9.5 or 10? If so, do you need my address? 9E

    New G&G Connaught in Midnight Blue

    I keep being struck by an urge to brush the dust off of them--but they're clean. There is no dust on them. They just came out of the box. It is the patina that gives them this look. Interestingly, the shoe polish that came in the box is black, which means that as I polish them, and as they age...
