Anyone know what the difference is between the Sperry Top Sider Original boat shoes and the Sperry Top Sider 2 Eye boat shoes?

^ I think the 2 eye boat shoe has "fake" laces which you don't have to tie. Not sure though.

My question: For equivalent tagged sizes, are Uniqlo flat front chinos slimmer than J. Crew classic fit?

Hello everyone, new here.

Does anyone know where I could order this pair of Marc Jacobs sneakers online? It's from the 2009 Fall collection.



Thanks

I am interested in ordering their BS101 jacket in a size Small. I was wondering if anybody else on the forum has had any experience with this jacket or any other blackscissor jacket? I am concerned about the measurements that they have posted. For instance, the shoulder to cuff length say 69 cm and that seems a little too big for a size small.

Thanks for the reply. I usually wear a small so if their small is close to what is "standard" then it should not be a problem. How do you like their jacket?

Hmmm...I am not sure which stock I am picking from. I was just going to order a Small from their ebay store. I am actually not sure what the measurements on a small are supposed to be. Would 69 cm for shoulder to cuff seem reasonable? I thought it ought to be more like 59 or something. Also, why did you a large and not a small size from them?

For me, the Uniqlo vintage chinos were slimmer than the classic fits in the thigh and rear, but both are about the same from the knee down. Neither fits me very well.

Does anyone know where I could find colored, dress shoelaces, e.g. Paul Smith's black-purple laces. I want to add a subtle tinge to some of the laceups I wear with dark jeans, but none of the sites I found searching old threads had anything out of the ordinary.

Is it possible to dye chambray? If so, what's the best type of dye?
