I just picked up these Chelseas at the Warehouse Sale for $60ish and they're about a half-size too big. All sales are final, so I'm hoping to sell these off and buy a smaller pair later today. Worn once around the carpeted office, for about 30 minutes; there is a bit of shop wear to the suede, though, which you can see in the pictures - should come out w/ a quick cleaning.

Great boots overall - made in Italy, excellent construction, very soft chocolate suede. The ankle fit is tight, but not uncomfortable; it'll loosen up after a couple of wears. They are marked 9.5D, but fit more like a 10D. Thanks to the ankle support and stretch-ready suede, these will fit anywhere from a 9.5D to a 10EE.

Outsole Measurements - 12.5" long, 4 3/8" wide.

Asking for what I paid + a bit more to cover paypal and shipping - $65 CONUS

Bespoke sportcoat made by Vaish Tailors in New Delhi. Fabric is 12oz brown glen plaid (blue and red accents) I picked up from Paul Stuart last year. Fused construction, but fusing's very light. 3-roll-2.5, working button cuffs, fully lined, double-vents, ticket pocket, flap pockets (pic just shows them tucked in). All in all a nice casual jacket (looks great with jeans and moleskins), but it's a full size too small on me (the house style at Vaish is to make jackets snug...too snug in this case). I had it made over the summer and have worn it two or three times. It's obviously untagged, but would fit a 37s comfortably and a 36s with room to layer. I just want you to cover shipping, so let's make it SOLD.

Very generous of you.

Does the sportcoat have besom pockets with a besom ticket pocket?
