I think the construction is well made but definitely not like crockett and jones/alden. oxford jcrew shirt for dirt cheap. edit. meis. jacket is an XS. Fit is true to size except for the sleeve.

 

[Meis]

mellow - what size did you go with on the ervell- S or XS?

 

[Klemins]

Those ervell jackets fit terribly IMO. I understand the look it's supposed to have, but just doesn't seem to work on 99% of people. It needs ribbing at the wrists if it's gonna have bigger arms like it does, as old models do.

"corodovan" just refers to the dye, and it doesn't necessarily mean quality unless its "shell cordovan"

i have no experience with florsheim by db, but i've heard the quality and construction is solid.

look forward to seeing them in your fit picks instead of the usual oc

mellow that jacket is awful du

 

[AR_Six]

It looks pretty clearly to be shell.

 

[steveoffice]

are they? i thought florsheim x db didn't make shell. my bad

i guess mellow has nothing to worry about

 

[Fycus]

I like the ervell jacket. Kinda reminds me of the balenciaga egg bomber silhouette but less extreme.

looks to be shell and apparently horween confirmed that db has some in shell back in the MC thread

 

[AR_Six]

Yes. They have always made that model in shell. Currently they even make green, blue and cherry red shell models.

**** UPS, seriously. RO leather came today, but wasn't left because of the fake ass brokerage/custom fee. They give me a time of 8-8:30pm to pick myself, I get there and they claim they'll only take a cashiers check for the ******* fee. No cash, credit, personal checks, WTF!?
