    Vibram Commando Sole Options - Montagna vs Middlebury

    I am ordering a new pair of boots with a commando style sole and I am wondering if anyone has any idea which would be a better choice. I am leaning towards the Middlebury as it is the softer gumlite but if durability is significantly less then I will go with the harder Montagna. The Montagna is...

    RM Williams but with a Waterproof Commando-Style Sole?

    I want RM Williams quality in a boot with a commando-style sole. I like the comfort of the rubber sole and the casual hard wearing leather. In the past I have had Prada and Bottega Veneta Chelsea boots with commando looking soles but they always end up in the garbage because they cannot be...

    Unprotected Suede Shoes?

    I bought a pair of tan colored suede boots from Tods and I am tempted to wear them without spraying them with Saphir waterproofing spray. I want to see if they develop an interesting patina but I figured I would ask the forum if this is a bad idea before I ruin these shoes. Does anyone wear...

    Dolce & Gabbana Cashmere Quality

    I recently bought a Dolce & Gabbana cashmere sweater on Yoox. My only nice cashmere sweaters have been from Malo and Johnstons of Elgin. These were thicker chunkier sweaters. The D & G one is made in Italy and supposedly has a retail price of $1k but the material is quite fine for the arms and...

    Comfortable Sneakers for Work

    I am looking for a pair of sneakers that look nice and clean (no logos) preferably made of leather that are comfortable to wear all day. I wish I could just wear my UltraBoost Addidas but they are too casual. The best I have found so far is from Diemme but they still are quite stiff and...

    Dinesen Wide Plank Flooring or Engineered?

    Does anyone here have Dinesen flooring in their home? I am curious to get opinions on it. I have seen fresh installations which look amazing but I have also seen older installations that have huge gaps because of expansion and contraction. I am not sure how you would get dirt out of those...

    What Makes Minotti Better Than Other European Brands?

    TL;DR: What makes Minotti better quality, and more expensive than other European furniture brands? I want to buy a sofa and sideboard from them and want to try and justify the premium price. I have noticed that any furniture dealer that carries Minotti (along with other brands) will say that...

    Are Oliver Peoples a Rip-Off?

    There is a pair of sunglasses by OP that I like but I cannot tell if they are any better than a Persol or Rayban made in the same factory possibly using the same Barberini optics. Is there anything that makes OPs nicer than the other two Luxottica brands I mentioned? For some reason it bugs...

    I am struggling to find a t-shirt I like. I used to love the Uniqlo "Premium Cotton" t-shirts which were my favorite...they discontinued those. Then I went for the Uniqulo "Supima" shirts which were second best...but now the new version of their Supima shirt is crap. I have tried Everlane...

    Manufacturers that hand-welt rubber soles

    I have received some confusing information about hand-welted rubber sole shoes and I wanted to see if I could get a better understanding from the forum. I have spoken directly with Vass, Zonkey Boot, and Ed Et AL and they say they hand welt rubber soles to their shoes. Ed Et Al even does them...
