Question for the color 4 guys. I know that color 8 will fade with wear/sun/age. Does color 4 do same? If so anyone got any pix of a faded pair?

Most of the light colors of shell all end up close to what you might call the "mean shade" after fading. See this link:



Color 4 is not on the link, but most of the other light colors are, which shows how these all tend to fade. This guy does sun-fade many of his pairs shown. Hope this helps!

Quick question: For a given last, would a 9.5C be a smidge wider than a 9D? Or roughly the same?

Am I the only one who appreciates that fantastic roll on your shirt collars?

9D would be wider. 10C would be roughly as wide as 9D.

They haven't really changed color too much. First pic is from last summer. Second pic is from 2014. The Tricker's pair is teak comipel BTW.

Thanks a lot! It's my favorite thing about this collar type Today's shirt is definitely the "roll special" as it's the longest one in the closet!

I've been chasing after these lengths for a while!

My Color 4 medallions showed up today. I've been on such a boot run lately that it's nice to get a shoe in this magnificent shade.
