GentlemensFootwear.com (CARMINA, EDWARD GREEN, DRAKES, CROCKETT & JONES) - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD

[dlm4114]

Glad to see you guys on here! A few questions -- do you find the Uetam last to be slim-fitting? I've seen it compared to the Simpson around here before, but it never really had that look for my (admittedly untrained) eye. Second, can you say a little bit more about the Finnamore shirts? I don't know much about them. Lastly, are you able to arrange meetups to try on different sizes? I should be back in SoCal soon and do not mind a bit of a drive if it means I can actually try on a few Carminas. Thanks, and welcome to the board!

Hi dlm! Yes I find the Uetem last to be slim fitting. However, the loafers were made with suede upper, and in my humble opinion, they tend to stretch out a little easier then say calf or shell.
I have a semi wide feet and was afraid to own uetem myself and they were little tight at first, but after few weeks its perfect on my feet. Lot of members tend to size down half on Uetem last, but if you do have a wide feet like me (I am a 5.5 EE) you can go with your normal size.

About Finamore shirts, they are great shirts with a lot of handwork implemented just like other italian dress shirtmaker counterparts. The armholes, shoulders, buttonholes, and even the buttons were painstakingly sewn by hand. They feature a bit of puckered shoulders with shirring details (I understand this is a personal preference but many seem to favor this italian shoulder these days)
I had two choices of Italian camiceria to choose from when I started the shop. The other company is also a prestige company manufacturing outstanding quality dress shirts (name starts with a B), but Finamore truly proved to be superior in fit! I am aware that they have different models, but their slim fit line was just perfect in my opinion. I am, by all means, NOT a skinny guy, and due to my love for belgian brew and being married in the past year, I have a bit a tube in my mid-section. But these Finamore shirts were slim yet not skinny and perfect in fit.

I will be more than happy to arrange a meet in you are in LA or SanDiego area! Let me know and thank you for the kind welcome! Cheers!

[justinkapur]

How many do we have for the shell loafer?

 

[stevent]

And how many for the boot?

 

[steveyoo1983]

And how many for the boot?

3 including you as well!

How many do we have for the shell loafer?

3 so far including you justin! we need 3 more to get this going!

 

[mrjester]

Tell Justin to put that MTO in his sig. It's sick and if I had the coin to drop, I would be on it. Full strap navy shell loafer? So sick it's hard to comprehend.

 

[Cuttingboard]

Would love to get in on the navy shell loafers but already signed up for the chocolate string loafers. For next summer, what about green shell or calf loafers in the same style?

 

[steveyoo1983]

That full strap penny in navy shell will look amazing imo!

I have possibe 4th, 5th, and 6th participant awaiting confirmation at this point!

Cheers gents!

[justinkapur]
