    Bump. Surely there are others who are taller average who would also like to dress nicely?

    Alright, thanks for the prompt answer! Any plans on making a 10cm longer version? 8)

    How much can the trench coat be lengthened at the hem by a tailor? As a 190cm tall chap, the back length seems a tad short for my liking, which left me wondering this.

    Casual trousers with longer inseams

    I am 190cm tall with an athletic build and usually wear more dressed-up clothing such ass odd trousers, sports coats, knitted vests et cetera. I always buy my trousers made-to-measure or bespoke due to the lack of high-waisted, fuller-cut trousers in the ready-to-wear market. However, on the...

    Vintage-styled sneakers for wider feet

    Thanks for the heads up, shame to hear that. Thanks, but the 70's version looks very similar to the Novestas, and they seem crazy narrow. Who can honestly wear these? Here's a few photos of my foot on the insole liner: After having used those barefoot sneakers for a month, I could never...

    S.E.H Kelly

    Hi Paul, one more question before I place the pre-order: if one should wish to slightly take in the coat at the waist, would it be relatively easy? I just noticed that compared to my other balmacaan, yours is some centimeters larger in the waist. I wouldn't think it should matter that much, but...

    Vintage-styled sneakers for wider feet

    I finally found a pair which was good for my feet – but which is just very ugly. Enter the Be Lenka Champ sneakers. It's a barefoot sneaker with a very anatomically correct last that most would consider hideous. But look how close to the shape of my feet they are! They feel absolutely...

    Hmm, thanks for the info! If I measured correctly, my coat is somewhere between 35 and 36 inches in that measurement. I trust that small, 1-2cm corrections to sleeve length are rather doable for a local tailor if needed?

    S.E.H Kelly

    Thanks a lot for that! I am comparing to a made to order Chrysalis cotton Balmacaan I bought last year, and the back length and pit-to-pit measurements are spot on the same as yours here, which makes me quite content! However, I am a bit puzzled at the sleeve length, and I suspect I am measuring...

    S.E.H Kelly

    This seems excellent to me! Would it be also possible to get a table of measurements for the coat before pre-ordering? I'm a bit on the fence between size L and XL, so a detailed table would be most helpful.

    Toyo Enterprise Thread - Modern Vintage and Reproduction of Heritage (Buzz Rickson's, Sugar Cane, Sun Surf, Whitesville, Tailor Toyo, and More)

    Just arrived, and I think its proportions look much better for me since it's about 4cm longer! :) Very happy with the purchase! Sorry for the OT post.

    One loafer above all others

    I have also tried the Morjas loafers, but found them frustratingly much too narrow and high for my feet; from my experience, most Spanish made shoes seem to have very high insteps which do not work for me as well as American lasts. Same for British lasts, which often seem to mistake width for...

    One loafer above all others

    Unfortunately for me, I have yet to find loafers that fit my feet even with double tongue pads and/or insoles – usually when they are low enough with the pads and insoles, the width becomes too narrow. I've just given up hope for now.

    One loafer above all others

    For aesthetics, I love the Alden tassels as well as penny loafers. Unfortunately, with a wide forefoot, low feet and narrow heel, I've come to the realization that there isn't a loafer model on the market which would suit my feet even remotely. Hence, the best loafers for my feet would probably...

    Japanese Boot / Shoe Appreciation Thread (White Cloud, Rolling Dub Trio, John Lofgren, Clinch, etc.

    Does anyone have any experience on how the John Lofgren last 140 fits? I am considering these monkey boots: https://secondsunrise.se/collections/footwear/products/john-lofgren-monkey-boots-cxl-black?variant=33011630145589 My best fitting shoes are on the Alden Barrie US10.5D, but I've come to...

    Toyo Enterprise Thread - Modern Vintage and Reproduction of Heritage (Buzz Rickson's, Sugar Cane, Sun Surf, Whitesville, Tailor Toyo, and More)

    Have to say that it looks kind of nice, but living in Europe, I dislike ordering from American sites, too much of a hassle with the customs, shipping etc. :)

    Hi, I'll cast my votes for wide 7, wide 6 and wide 5. Terribly exciting, I know!
