The cordovan shells are a steal at $381 a pair. Wish I'd have known they'd go this low a few weeks ago, but I still got mine for a steal so can't complain.


Good shopping!!

I could be wrong but they (Cordovan PTBs) look like they are on the Barrie Last. If that's the case I would size down 1/2 size.

My question is, are you using the links at the bottom of the page? Please? Costs you nothing and keeps the forum running.

*2 golden Fleece Suits-the nicer ones
*2 Regent-made in Italy-those are the only 1818's I like--Got one last week...

*Lots of nice Luxury and Golden Fleece shirts
*My first few pair of High quality over-the-calf socks-tho go with my new Aldens!!

*I did alot better than I expected and am quite Happy. Now if they only ship out more than half in good condition I'll be shocked.

The Bad!!
(just an abreviated version for now)
* it took from 9pm until 4am to get my order through and I had to divide it up between 3 orders-My original had about 35-40 articles.

* The Server Screwed me out of my 15% and overcharged me to the tune of $2,000.00

* every year I forget just how overwhelmed their servers get.

So in Conclusion I feel fortunate at this point.
How about Ya'll?

The Regent in 40R fits me like I was born in it.--Although there was 1 exception:
A 40r Golden Fleece Regent made by Zegna that the pants were a very tight 33.

I am also on a Quest to purge myself of all my pleated pants.--Thanks alot SF!!

Took it easy; picked up two extra-slim Oxfords, a slim fit-tab collar shirt, and this sportcoat.

I'm looking forward to my 3 Extra Slim Fit White Collar Sport Shirts and my first Black Fleece White OXford with French Cuffs.

Any sizing tips of the Cordovan wingtip? Never owned a pair of Aldens (or cordovan shoes for that matter), don't want to mess up the sizing. 10.5D in AE strands, mcallister

ALWAYS

I also use it for yoox.
I use the ebay ticker thing when I buy something from them.(I don't know if that helps, but I do it anyway.)

 

[deveandepot1]

I just got the "Our apologies, your order has been delayed." message.
When do they charge my card? Are my items reserved?

How slim fitting are the Black Fleece BB shirts? I normally wear a 15.5 / 34 in most shirt brands (Canali, Thomas Pink, Zegna), so it looks like BB2 would work, but wanted to check. Thanks...
