    Taking care of your shoes

    Nick, You mention sole guards -- I assume you mean the rubbers for the bottom of the soles. On higher-end dress shoes (testoni, brioni) do you still reccommend them? I had thought that placing rubbers trapped the moisture between the foot and the outsole and leads to rot in the cork? I'm not...

    PSA: These Brioni Shoes at Century 21

    PSA: These Brioni Shoes at Century 21

    I just got these shoes at Century 21 (Cortland St) for the remarkable price of $264 with the AMEX code discount (again, my thanks to NorCalTransplant). I was going to post photo's but then realized that this thread http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...=112011&page=1 has some lovely photos -- I...

    PSA: 20% off Century 21

    I was at the Fulton St/Cortland St (wall street) shop -- they had them (I'm uploading in a separate thread to ask about maker, etc. and will be showing pics -- would be curious on actual retail as C21 often just estimates, etc.)

    Help with building out my wardrobe

    Hi all, Before uploading loads of photos (on this dreary NY afternoon) I thought I would ask to see if this project was worth undertaking. I am at a transitional point in building out my style and have just started to purchase higher quality clothes over the past year or two. Currently I own a...

    Comparing C&J round-toe lasts - 325 317 330

    My thanks for the information on the double sole -- I also had a chance to head to the T & A shop this week and had a look at the handgrades (as well as ask the question on the double-sole) and I was surprised at the difference in fit between the handgrades and the benchgrades. The UK9 actually...

    Sierra Trading Post - on the bad list

    The part that troubles me here is that the STP doesn't even carry a very wide range of clothes, but rather the same few brands month after month. After a few orders, you should have a good idea of your size in the brand/maker and I think that STP has a reasonable expectation that you are don't...

    Do You Recommend Pant Press (Valet)

    While not owning one myself, a good friend of mine does own and use his frequently. His is the model from Hammerchler (sp?) and overall I would say it has been a something that he gets a lot of value from weekly. There is, of course, a caveat -- he is on the short side (5'9"). I mention...

    Comparing C&J round-toe lasts - 325 317 330

    I'm looking at my first pair of C&J's later this week -- either through plal or at the T&A store here in NY (assuming no rain today, I'll be headed there to browse) and am a little confused on the term "double sole." For reference: My own shoes include a couple of pair of Testoni Black Label and...

    Really good tailors in the San Francisco Bay Area

    After the fitting he was so vague on the timeframes (at six weeks I've mentally moved over to a MTM garment and not - very - simple work being done) and unwilling to commit to a time that was even out past the six weeks (pointing to a jacket for which he had done buttonholes and commenting that...

    Really good tailors in the San Francisco Bay Area

    Thank you very much for the feedback - it would be terrific to be able to develop a relationship with a local tailor - I'll look into both and report back (if there is hope that one is open on a Sunday, I'll report back next week) My thanks again oh - and yes, it pushed the limits of my...

    Really good tailors in the San Francisco Bay Area

    As I received no replies to an earlier post on the matter - I thought I would follow-up in this thread on my experience with Jon Minor. He is a little chatty during the fittings and 1 hour worth of work took over 3.5 (for only 7 pants, 3 sportcoats) , prices reflect the lack of competition...

    Watches - Advice Please

    While I'm in no way an expert -- you can buy a good mid-range watch of traditional style from overstock at a 40-70% discount if you are looking to upgrade 'the name' and style from the seiko (and also to just not shop retail) You might want to look at Hamilton, etc for trad styles in your...

    My Thanks to all, some new threads, and the SF Tailor question

    My sincere thanks to all on the site for their contributions, insights and perspectives -- I have always sought to bring a bit of style (and occasionally a sublte bit of strut) to my little spot of the world and prior to coming upon this site may have even thought I had a passing bit of...
