    Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, Merlot, 9.5B (Narrow)

    I am selling my Allen Edmonds Park Avenues in Merlot (size 9.5B). They have been worn only a handful of times. The uppers are in excellent condition as you can see from the photo. They are unfortunately too narrow for my right foot, and actually become painful to wear by the end of the day. I...

    Allen Edmonds Strand Walnut 9.5 B (narrow)

    I am selling my Allen Edmonds Walnut Strands, size 9.5 B (narrow). I have worn these a little bit, but they just don't quite fit the way I wish they did. They are beautiful shoes, still in excellent condition. No real scratches or anything like that, toe cap is in excellent shape (see photo)...

    Temple of Jawnz (TOJ) TOJ1 2011 Black/Camo Sz. 48

    I'm clearing out stuff that did not really get worn this past fall/winter, and sadly the jacket is one of them. This is a ToJ1, Size 48 in black/black/black/camo #3 lining. The size is a standard 48, although the length is cut slightly shorter than specified, maybe 0.25". See here for details...

    FS: Temple of Jawnz ToJ 2010 Bomber Size 46

    This is a ToJ 2010 brown lamb bomber, still in excellent condition. Measurements are provided below. I realized this jacket is not getting any wear, so I decided to pass it on. That and I'm about to make a huge downpayment on a new place. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm about 5'9" 140...

    Amazon.com sale, 30% off shoes over 150$

    I just noticed amazon has a sale on shoes and accessories over 150$ for 30% off. You can pick up new AEs for ~200$ at that price. Not quite as good as you can do on Ebay, but Amazon allows returns and no waiting for the right size/style/color. "Get your gifts on time and save 25% on $75 orders...

    AE Mcallister now available in Walnut and Merlot

    Just wanted to let people know that AE's "Timeless Classic" Mcallister is now available in Merlot and Walnut off their website. Until a day or two ago, it was just in black calf. I have a vintage pair I got off the Bay awhile back, and it is very tempting to pick up another in a different...

    Type of seam used for shirt alterations?

    I'm trying to do a little survey here of what kind of seam people's tailors use for shirt seam alteration - as in when the sides are taken in, etc... Do most people's tailors just go right ahead and use the flat-felled seam? (type of seam most shirts OTR use - see here) My asian tailor always...

    Resoling casual wingtips - rubber or leather?

    I acquired a pair of older AE wingtips that have just the right amount of wear on them to be perfect for casual wear with trousers and jacket or jeans. The only unattractive part are the soles, which have clearly seen better days. I probably need to have them recrafted and completely replaced -...

    Classic black knit tie and brown shoes?

    People tell me the black knit tie is the "blue blazer" of ties, in that it can go with just about anything. One thing though... I pretty much only wear black shoes to interviews and weddings, and even then only night weddings. Is a black knit going to work with various brown shoes? If...

    Altering waist on non-wool pants

    I was looking at some RLPL cotton and linen pants, and sizing down seems to be the best way to get a good fit through waist and thigh for me. The leg opening on my true size is a little big, and I have skinny legs. If the pants are cotton or linen, can the waist be let out an inch or so...

    Help me decide on a shell wingtip

    I'm looking to get a wingtip blucher and need a little help figuring out what my options are. I've been trying to find a brick and mortar store that can get in either the AE MacNeil or Alden Long Wing, but my options are limited to Nordstrom and they don't carry narrow sizes. The AE #5 last...

    AE strand too formal for SoCal?

    I was going to pick up some AE strands in chestnut for mostly office wear. I think they look brilliant, and the #5 last fits me soooo well (why don't they make more on this last anymore!?)... not planning to wear them with denim or anything. However, I'm a little worried they don't fit in with...

    Options for narrow grenadine ties?

    After extensive use of the search function and google, I am starting to realize that my only options for grenadine ties < 3" wide is Sam Hober or buying them OTR and sending them to a place like this - http://www.tiecrafters.com/alterations.html - assuming I can't find a competent tailor in...

    RLBL sale predicament... help!

    The RL store in La Jolla (Southern Cal) is having a sale on a bunch of stuff. I was in there and they had some RLBL suits for about $549. If you're in the area, you may want to give them a call and check for your size. So that brings me to my predicament, which hopefully people can help with. I...

    help on dress shoe sizing

    I'm hoping to get some advice on how to fit my feet, since it seems I have to compromise somehow whenever I try things on. My left foot is a half size longer than the right and narrow, while my right foot is more medium width. If I fit the length and width of the smaller foot, the left shoe is...

    Opinions before I buy BB Fitz?

    I'm hoping people here can give me some good opinions before I pull the trigger on a solid Navy Fitzgerald for about 600$. The salesman said the tailor would do all work for no addt'l cost also. I am in the San Diego area, 5'10" 145 lb, typically size 36R (17/17.5 shoulder, 37 chest, 29 waist)...
