    Loake Cigar Suede Chukkas, Dainite Sole, 11D/E US (10.5F UK) By Herring Shoes

    Nice Chukkas. Trying to get an idea of the true colour. Is the last shot with the white jeans the most accurate?

    Baume and Mercier Capeland Automatic Watch

    Bump for a great seller. Sales and follow-up were first class. Just received a Tissot from Rambo and was in mint condition, as stated. A Ming vase couldn't have been better wrapped than the watch.

    Theory Xylo velvet/velour jacket-opinions?

    Any opinions on Theory Jackets, specifically the Xylo model? Any idea if they are canvassed,half canvassed or fused? What is the quality like? Also can someone explain the difference between cotton velvet and cotton velour. The terms seem to used interchangeably. Is there an obvious distinction...

    Bump. Anybody?

    softening the shoulders of a sport coat

    Has anyone had any experience in reducing the "roping" of a sport coat to soften the line of the shoulder? From what I've read any shoulder work can be fairly problematic and have a flow on effect to the rest of the jacket. Just wondering if this operation has similar issues and is...

    What is Australian Style to you?

    Australian style is losing at cricket with even less grace than Pakistan. Give us a break. It's still fairly new to us. We can't fall back on decades of experience at it like yourselves. Thank God for your Empire 11.

    GF looking for help

    Having seen BF receive some really informed advice and snag some exceptional items on BS, I am wondering if anyone knows of a similar site for females. Being a six foot tall blond female and quite slim (size 4-6 American) I sometimes have difficulty finding clothes and shoes to fit. I would...

    Calling all Oxxford experts

    Can anyone shed some light on the fit of a Oxxford "Addison" model suit? Shoulder padding, armhole height, waist suppression/taper etc. I think the model was unique to the SF store Wilkes Bashford. It seems many here feel that most Oxxfords are "boxy". But I suppose that's...

    Oxxford's New Video

    You need to start a new thread. It might help you out better. You're absolutely right and I'll follow you're advice Ryoneo. I only raised the question because I thought members interested in Oxxford would be checking out the OP.

    Oxxford's New Video

    Without trying to hijack this thread but can anyone shed some light on the fit of a Oxxford "Addison" suit? Shoulder padding, armhole height, waist and chest suppression etc. I think this model was made solely for the SF store Wilkes Bashford. It seems that many here feel that most...

    Recutting lapels on sport coat

    What kind of reduction are you thinking of? The jacket has lapels that are about 4.25" at their widest. To my eye it looks like they could be reduced by 1/2"-5/8" while still leaving a similar amount for the buttonhole. Although those numbers are best left to the tailor. I was just wondering if...

    Recutting lapels on sport coat

    Has anyone had any experience in narrowing the lapels of a jacket. I'm trying to bring a solid Navy sport coat more "up to date" by slimming down the lapels. Is this at all possible/practical? I realize the buttonhole limits how much can be trimmed. Does this throw off the "balance" of the...

    Alterations in Brisbane, AU

    Journeyman, Thanks for the info. I'm not sure how they do business. None of their phone #'s work, not listed under Joe Richards in the white pages and their website is years out of date. It must be all word of mouth! Damn they must be good!

    Alterations in Brisbane, AU

    Resurrected this thread in an effort to see if anyone has used George of Joe Richards lately. Since the phone #'s from the website & white pages are not operational, I can only assume he's thrown in the tape-measure. If so does anyone have any current critiques/recommendations of Brissy...

    Loake Pimlico--Chukka's

    I am a size 11 in US and sized down to 10.5 in UK. They are very nice shoes. Excuse me for being thick but when you say you "sized down to a 10.5 in UK" do you mean you ordered a UK10.5 which would equate to a US11.5? Also what's you feeling of the "roominess" of the Capital last? I'm trying to...

    Loake Pimlico--Chukka's

    Those look great. Am thinking of getting these also but in Suede. The last used for the Pimlico is the Capital which fwicg is slightly broader than say the 026 which would seem to suit my e/ee foot. Do you feel the Pimlicos run tts (8uk=9us) or should I size up 1/2?

    Brooks Bros country club sport coat

    Anyone have any recent experience with quality and fit of these. I've read someone describe the quality as not much above the Gap. Personally not a big fan of the "Ahoy Skipper" brass buttons but the coats look reasonable on the website.
