Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Hi folks, I just bought a pair of these penny loafers and found it strange that the top edge of the strap (AKA saddle, penny keeper, etc.) isn't stitched to the vamp. The strap's glued to the vamp, and when I press down on the tongue the two pieces become unglued and I can see all the adhesive...- BlackYeti

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Or, you know, run an operation like Thursday Boots that manages to keep prices competitive, provide free returns and shipping, and maintain high customer service standards. All you Meermin apologists keep pretending like this is some kind of impossible fantasy when it's inevitably becoming the...- BlackYeti

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
I've also seen problems with the sole/heel on a recent boot purchase. Chose to return rather than repair, and had to pay shipping both ways to do so.- BlackYeti

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Oh I'm definitely blaming management. And I'd be surprised if the cs I was talking to isn't pretty close to management. I can't imagine some new kid making the kind of hard-edged arguments I received. Impossible to know, of course, since all comms come from the same email address with no...- BlackYeti

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Check out Loding, Spier & MacKay, Loake, Barker, CNES, Berwick The time I spent dealing with Meermin cs and the additional shipping charges I was assessed easily added $100 to the price of the shoe. Even if you know exactly what you're looking for, you may get a defective pair that forces you...- BlackYeti

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
If it hurts their business Meermin could have simply disallowed returns. They allow it because it's good for business, especially since apparently they don't honor their return policy all the time. I have to pay return shipping and the original shipping is deducted from my refund. I even...- BlackYeti

More Meermin customer service fun: Bought three pairs of cap-toe oxfords in different lasts with the intention of immediately returning two of them after try-on. Return was delivered to Meermin on Nov. 2. Meermin acknowledged the returns in multiple email exchanges and promised a refund but...- BlackYeti

Another example of horrible Meermin consistency and customer service: Wanted to try a pair of their suede Jodhpurs. Ordered two sizes. Despite carrying the same SKU, the two boots I received are in different color suedes of different texture (one nappier than the other). The linings are in...- BlackYeti

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Some additional photos with hands at the side. These pictures suggest that the sleeves are correct in length, though, when I bend my arm, the sleeve is very tight along the outside (pinky side) of my arm, causing the cuff to ride up ~1.5", but leaves a lot of slack along the inside. I would also...- BlackYeti

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Thanks Chris. The left yoke is 1/4" narrower than the right. I think the discrepancy and lighting are what's making my right shoulder look lower—in actuality my left shoulder is slightly lower. I should be decreasing the slope of the shoulders (i.e. making it "more square") to alleviate the...- BlackYeti

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
Just received a shirt from online MTM Propercloth. I have two major issues with the shirt that I'd appreciate some recommendations for: In the back, the shirt is too tight around the shoulders, causing lines to run beneath the yoke on either side. I could obviously just widen the shirt at the...- BlackYeti

Lotuff & Clegg Bags?
Quick update on my Lotuff goods: Three years of daily use later, the briefcase is in excellent shape. The leather's received its expected scratches and fades (along the edges, at the corners and on the handles) and one or two stitches have frayed, but that's the extent of the wear. The same...- BlackYeti

1701 Bespoke Review? (Detroit)
This is not good work. The short length, super high gorge and soft shoulders make for a very unbalanced front silhouette. Then the mess at the sleeves and back. And why patched pockets with such a smooth fabric? I'd appreciate pics if you made adjustments based on others' comments above. I...- BlackYeti
