    Does your foot size change with age?

    I have been wondering about this. I wore a size 11 until about age 30 when I bought my first pair of Italian oxfords in a 44. As I broke them in I realized that they were too big. My next pair was a 43 which was better, but ultimately still too large. I'm now wearing size 9/42. Was I wearing...

    Paying my 'school fees'

    I don't feel so bad about my experience after reading yours. I had a nice hand-me-down double-breasted jacket that fit well except for the shoulders. A tailor who is a family friend offered to narrow the shoulders for only $150. Having no experience with this, I figured it was a good deal for a...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I also vote for the black boot. Beautiful and practical.

    Travel Shoes Poll: What shoes do you bring with you on short trips?

    A, D and E. Generally boots, either a lug-sole Chelsea boot or something more rugged for terrain.

    Friday Challenge 19 August 2022 - The White Shirt

    One of my favorite outfits--the white shirt in herringbone weave is from JCPenney. While a white shirt is a wardrobe staple, this is the only photo I can find where I'm wearing one.

    Sneakers With Tailoring: Yes, No, Maybe?

    Suits and trainers have been an Italian staple for years, but outside of a casual linen/canvas sort of outfit I just can't bring myself to like it. A formal suit with sneakers just doesn't work, and I can't stand "dressy" leather sneakers.

    Where to buy a genuine montecristi (panama) straw hat for the summer?

    Not about the Ecuadorian 'Montecristi' Panama Hat, alas. I enjoyed this story: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/08/08/340682706/hes-just-woven-the-worlds-finest-panama-hat-but-who-will-buy-it

    That first scratch or scuff...

    Really? I love suede because nearly everything will brush or shampoo out, and a professional cleaning every year or two takes care of the rest.

    One loafer above all others

    Maybe this is the wrong place to say it, but I can't stand loafers. The convenience of a slip-on is nice, but I really hate the way they look. If there's a loafer that doesn't look like a loafer, that might be the one for me.

    Dressing well is challenging these days, although I've gotten better at mask/hat outfits over the past year.

    Proper boot fit

    I found a lot of helpful info in this thread. https://www.styleforum.net/threads/agonizing-over-1-2-size-when-buying-shoes-pointless.126743/ I'm leaning toward a half-size down.

    Proper boot fit

    I just received a pair of M Gemi Grotta deerskin lace-up boots and I love them, but I'm agonizing over whether they're the right size. I'm usually a US 10-10.5, so I ordered these in size 43.5. They feel great overall but I detect a bit of heel slip just walking around my living room carpet...

    Reinforce shirt placket?

    I have a linen dress shirt that I like, but no matter how well I iron the placket, it looks very dumpy after just a few hours of wear. The button strip is reinforced, but the placket is a single layer of fabric prone to unflattering bulges. (I'll certainly take this into consideration when shirt...

    B.Nelson does a great job

    It's still hard to see in the photo, but it's not a crease or dent from any external pressure or from walking; it's a crease from something stretching inside the shoe just behind the toe and down the outside of the foot, which is why I was was sure it had to do with the workbench. I suspected my...

    B.Nelson does a great job

    Here's a higer-res photo. I've traced the toe crease in red. Very odd. It's hard to get a good photo, but really obvious when you look at the shoe.
