    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Thanks to all. Awhile ago, I got some excellent help from many members here at styleforum regarding how to buy Alden's at a pretty good price and what to look for in terms of lasts, the value of shell cordovan, etc. All of this help was hugely helpful and completely changed how I buy...

    Cole Haans are the best!

    Upon reflect, I wonder if my bad experience with AEs was based on a last that was not good for me. I need to revisit what Nordstrom is selling and consider the appropriate lasts in that context. Now I have to figure out exactly what my "best last" is...

    Cole Haans are the best!

    Really excellent advice! Thanks. You have given me a lot to think about. Thanks P.S: Just tried on a few pairs of AEs at Nordstrom and my heels just mushed around in them. If I could not have laced them to the front of my foot, they would half fall-off when I would lift my foot. Its...

    Cole Haans are the best!

    Just kidding! Got your attention though. Ok, I have decided my life is too calm and am ready for some controversy. What do you all think about Cole Haan Air Giovannis or Air Traftons? What's with this "Air" thing anyway, which is to say does it add to comfort and not sacrifice quality...

    Hong Kong Tailor Price Ranges

    Not too impressed with Jantzen. In the end, they got me fitted well, and the fabric was very good quality. But it took some rather strong language to get them to realize that they had my shoulders completely wrong (far too tight). I get the distinct impression that they simply could not care...

    Tailors In Bangkok -- Custom Suits -- My Honeymoon

    Ok, I will dive in. I think my tastes are not terrible, but probably not at the rarified heights of many on this board. With that in mind, I have been to a few tailors, so I believe I know very bad from reasonably good. In Thailand, I had several items made by one I can recommend: Rajawongse...

    Korean bespoke outside of Seoul...an adventure for a first time buyer

    I have given them a good try, and have found them to be just ok. I think the problem I have is that the fabrics often shrink up on me, and that is despite reassurances they would not. The workmanship ok (but no pattern matcing...true), but the price is pretty low. Anyway, needless to say, I have...

    creatine

    What type of creatine supplement do you all use? I am using something from vitamin world, but am looking for something with less calories. In any case, I have seen benefits from creatine. It makes me much stronger in workouts. I have heard that creatine etyl ester is superior in some respects...
