Im thinking of getting a pair but Im not sure which one. Which of these 3 have the best loafers when it comes to durability and comfort? Gucci, Ferragamo or Prada? And please explain why or if anyone has other suggestions, please feel free to comment. Btw, I will be wearing them mostly with jeans. If Im going to pay big money on shoes then I want it to be on a pair that I will surely love.

Gucci bit loafer is classic.

Otherwise go with Carmina or Meermin for about the same or lower price point, way better shoes. Or Vass or Crockett & Jones.

Welcome to the forum, Newberry. While to get familiar with the forum, feel free to post any quick questions you have here.

Oxfords are the go to shoe style for suits. Knowing what you are willing/able to spend will help us suggest makers....?

I'll also throw in for the Herring Charlton. Not sure what "big money" might be, but I have these and like them at their price point (available in other leathers):

Hello, I'm new on here and was looking for some help. I'm looking to tailor some trousers and I don't know what measurement to tell my tailor. I'm skinny, so I'm going for a look that's fits the ones below. It would help if you can recommend me some measurement to tell the tailor. I'm 5'11 and 155lb.

Welcome to he forum, untch. It's not really possible for us to give you measurements, but if you're going for that look, you'll want to tell the tailor you want no break. I'm guessing those legs openings are around 7", but again, that's just a guess. Best of luck.

Need some advice. I found these vintage ll bean wool flannel pants at a thrift shop and was curious if anyone had an idea of the year they might have been made. Awesome find! They still have the original tags and are unhemmed. I'm going to the tailor tomorrow to get them fitted.
