Just got my dark brown benchgrade captoes. No duty to Canada

KW always takes care of the Canadians.
Great to know! I'd love to see some photos "in the wild". I'm still trying to figure out if I should get the mid brown or dark brown.

How did you find the sizing? Are you able to compare it to Allen Edmonds?

Sorry, noob question but where are the tweed fabrics on the site?
click on the "About" tab, then on "Suits", and then scroll down to Fabrics, where there are links to photos of the fabrics which don't appear along the others in the usual place.

Will you ever expand the tweed selection?

No, there won't be any more fall/winter fabrics until next year.

Kent,

the shoe trees that you sell, are they better fit for the benchgrade shoes, compared to (for example), the Woodlore Epic trees?

Our shoe trees fit better than the Woodlore for all shoes, including our benchgrade and handgrade shoes.

What do you guys think of the TR2014 fabric as something for a lighter-than-navy/medium blue suit? I'm a bit on the fence about how it'd look done up. I tend to think that the pattern wouldn't be all that visible from any kind of distance, but I'm not all that sure. Here's a link, it's third from the top on the right:

The dark brown are a really versatile colour... not as dark as the photos. I'll try to post some pics when I have a chance. Fit/sizing is pretty much the same as AE '0' Last. I have the AE Evanston's which are on the 0 last and they fit almost exactly the same. I wear a 10.5D in both.

I also wear 10.5D, although I haven't tried any AEs in the 0 last. My best-fitting pair are probably the AE Delray (which is the 108 aka '8' last).
