I've seen your quantity of shoes on IG. I know you can pull it off. Haha.
And eggshell is so much easier than white. Kidding

its also harder to pull of the natural denim look. chinos are a little easier i think...

Hi guys,
I bought my first pair of carmina, abd they arrived yesterday. They are beautiful but I found this

Would you return them?

 

[diglett]

Your call. I've had a loose stitch or two, and I've just snipped them off and never worried about them again. Never had any problems later on.

 

[NAMOR]

Wow what's that? Never seen that before

Yeah I saw your left field's you posted.
They look pretty nice.
Mine are just a little off white, so they are easier to wear than stark white.

Other than the loose stitch it looks like some polish is caked in the holes. No big deal.

yeah i had a pair of rrl chinos and couldnt do it.. ill give it a shot, maybe after the leg is slimmed down.. maybe if i get the white viberg roughout boot i can knock out 2 birds with one stone for the complete "i dont give a ..." yet spend close to $1000 look

Hi guys. Great thread with awesome info and pics. I'm a complete novice with Carmina and recently became infatuated with the lined New Tobacco Suede Chukka from Skoak. I have zero experience with any Carmina lasts but from what I've read here the Detroit is very roomy? I'm a Brannock US13D, Alden Barrie 12.5D, C&J 325/341 UK12E and flat-footed & slightly wide. Would the UK11.5 (I'm assuming E) work for me? Does anyone have photos of this boot in the wild?

Any advice would be appreciated, and I'm truly very sorry to only be contributing a sizing question to this thread thus far.
