    So did I just ruin my brand new Alden shell cordovans?

    It just means you're heavy on your toes when you walk. My shoes do the same thing. Take them to a shoe repairer and have a toe plate put on. Better yet, get it done before the first time you wear a new pair of shoes.

    What to wear and not to wear with a navy peacoat?

    What to wear and not to wear with a navy peacoat?

    No, I mean something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/EARLY-VIETNAM-ER...b2829eb#ht_484 Genuine Navy-issue pea coats aren't black, they're navy, just a very dark navy.

    What to wear and not to wear with a navy peacoat?

    Art

    First time post here. Just bought this painting by an artist named Rod Bunter. The photo makes it look kind of plastic - in real life the artwork is amazing and almost photo-real, and you can't help but stare at those eyes. 1.2 metres of Belladonna looking at me from my living room wall every day!

    Alterations in Brisbane, AU

    I'd look at Tik Tak in George Street upstairs in the same building as Stuart Suits. I've had very good results there, having had to take trousers to them to be fixed after an Ashley & Schreder job. I just have no confidence in Ashley & Schreder - writing your details and order on a torn off...

    Thomas Pink Questions...

    I've found TM Lewin to be a perfectly good shirt, particularly when they can often be had for 19 pounds. Coles shirts are excellent too, but pricier, at about 65 pounds per shirt.

    Sir Winston Churchill from LIFE magazine

    Manton is correct - Blenheim was the seat of the various Dukes of Marlborough, and not Churchill's home. Churchill's birth at Blenheim was an accident, as he was born 2 months premature and was supposed to have been born in his father's home in Mayfair. The chap in the wig is probably a clerk...
