    Proper Cloth - Official Affiliate Thread

     Sorry to bump, but I found a perfect size with my last PC shirt and want to get a few more, probably in sea island cotton. I have a presidential spread 2, but want some more fun/aggressive. Would a soft collar suit my needs or am I better off with presidential cutaway, Roma or Milano? I...

    If you had to have just one: black PA's. If you wanted something more versatile: dark chili 5As

    It doesn't seem to come up much, but does anyone else really like the 1943 last? I think it fits me better than the 5 and looks much less blobby.

    I'm thinking of getting a presidential cutaway as a more fun option to wear to the office (when I don't have to be super conservative business dress). Does the "soft" presidential cutaway work well with a tie for this purpose or is it more a casual only option?

     I own black fifth and PA and you literally cannot tell the difference unless you lean down and really look at them. A polished black fifth will look better and more formal than 99% of people in virtually any setting.

    Got my Merlot Mcallisters. Just a beautiful color and I think it works perfectly with the Mcallister. I also like the Mcallister in general a lot more than the strand now actually having pairs of both, even though from looking at the pictures I always liked the strand better. This may be...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

     Thanks for the response. As for the cash question, I could comfortably spend 10-15k without any impact on disposable income for other things. This is why I'm thinking about it.

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    First time foray into this thread so be gentle please. Anyway, I am thinking about buying an actual nice watch (currently only have fashion watches like Burberry Michael kors etc). But the thing is, I know nothing about the movements etc so I don't know if I'd "appreciate" what makes these...

    How does sizing in the 555 last compare to the 65? I'm a 12D in the 65 and am thinking of ordering some maritimes or kirkwoods. I do have a store nearby so I could just try them on, but the low inventory thing is really starting to frustrate me and I'd rather not spend the time if they are...

     Dark Chili is a totally different color to me. Merlot, Burgundy, and Oxblood in person look much closer to me than they seem to for others. I have a hard time telling the difference. I think the AE pictures make those 3 colors look more different than they appear when seeing them in person.

     For whatever it's worth, in store I've had an SA line up burgundy PA's (shell), oxblood PA's, and Merlot macallisters next to each other and it was shocking to me how close in color they were. Like if I really looked I could see the oxbloods being slightly redder, but they really did look...

    Slight off topic, but where's a good place to get some more colorful, high quality dress socks? Notice some pretty cool socks in some of these pics.

    In the Bloomingdales sale, does anyone know what width the shoe is when it's not listed? Like all I see are sizes with no letter and some EEE. What width are the ones with no letter?

     I thought the EXACT same thing as you until someone in a retail store talked me into trying the 5th on. I loved it. The perfs don't look out of place at all IMO and just make the shoe a lot less "boring" for lack of a better word than a PA. I have a bourbon and black PA and only a dark...

     This would be almost exclusively for suits, so I guess I wouldn't get much use out of the walnut FA. I'm thinking it might be better just fork over the extra 50 for the macallisters since the 5A in brown wouldn't be a huge difference from the dark chili 5A's I already have.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

     The reason I was thinking of getting the 5A was the $150 off deal (I also really like the 5A, but would not have been thinking of making this purchase without the deal). So I guess, given that I currently have dark chili 5A's and black PAs and bourbon PAs, what would be best if i could only...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

     So is there enough of a difference in brown and dark chili as a color to justify having 5A's in both?

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    Does fifth avenue in walnut make any sense? Just got some fifths in dark chili, and I love the fifth, so I wanna take advantage of the deal. Also have PAs in bourbon and black, and Bellevues in golden brown and dark brown. So for the fifth, it's either brown or walnut. Any recommendations? Was...

     Thanks again, I am definitely set on the brown FA as the next one. After that, not so sure. TBH, I've never loved the looked of a LWB, so if I was gonna get a shell burg, it probably would be a Cambridge, so I may wait on that. If I decide not to though, what about the Jefferson 2.0 vs...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

     Thanks a bunch, Red and Count. It sounds like the McAllister/Cambridge is a no brainer for the first one to get. What's the difference between the merlot and burgundy in terms of color? Also, and I know this is tough to answer, but is the Cambridge worth the extra money? If it was either...
