Price of E. Green in England V. USA
When I ordered from EG in London they shipped Royal Mail (ParcelForce) that was deliveredd through the US Postal Service. The duty (customs) was about $25.00 per pair and a handling charge of $5.00 by the USPS. Not paying duty on 20 pairs must have been nice.- jrh

Price of E. Green in England V. USA
Be sure to add on duty to import (8 to 10 %) plus handling fees for the shipper. US Postal adds on their fee. You may still save alittle. But you also get the style and option to adjust the look in skin and styling to a particular model as you choose. If you do that, the cost goes up some. I...- jrh

Help with messenger bags...
The IlBisonte D249 is a very nice bag. I have a similar Il Bisonte style bag. I have seen the D249 after a few years of regualar use and it ages wonderfully. The cost is 900.00 dollars. I am looking for a more knock about bag and the Timbuk2 caught my eye. The problem I suspect is when the...- jrh

Interest in paul stuart items...
In 1975 Paul Struart provided me my first grown-up suit. In the 1980s they provided most of my wardrobe. As I learned more about threads, I realized PS is more about their updated classics then quality. Not that they sell junk, but for the money you can do better. Sylewise, I think PS is very...- jrh

Edward green dover discounted?
In my experience, ordering from the EG store in London was slightly less (including base price, customs, and shipping)for a specila order, then if you ordered from a store (off the rack) in the USA. But I have not ordered from the EG store for about 1-1/2 years. If the shoe you order is stock...- jrh

Edward green dover discounted?
Richard's in Greenwich, CT or Mitchell's in Westport, CT have EGs. Better yet, if you know your size deal directly with the EG store in London. Bite the bullet, the Dover is a wonderful shoe. I have pair in stag suede and years ago had a pair in black country cafe. Nothing is nicer then getting...- jrh

Finding a 6 ½ moccasin
I recently received a bespoke Russell moc boot in French Cafe (yummy). They are very comfortable and well handmade (you will notice they are made by hand). But beware, they were shipped with glue on the uppers, a few nicks in the leather, and scuffed. The owner was more then attentive in...- jrh

Joke
Marcus and Yacov, two Hasidic Jews, went to Pincus the tailor for new suits. "Pincus," Yacov said, "the last time we came to you for new suits, we told you we wanted black suits. The suits you made were not black. They were sort of dark gray maybe, but not black. We need new suits, and this time...- jrh
