i would like to ask you what your brannock size is? what size do you wear in straight tip bluchers (Aberdeen) & Barrie last?
i am a 10,5c in Brannock sizing

Maybe I can shed some light on your question. I wear a Brannock 10 1/2D. Also wear 10 1/2D in both the shell and suede Aberdeen Tassel. Obviously, I take a 10 D in Barrie. I've found there is no difference sizewise between Aberdeen lasts. They run closest to Brannock sizes of all the shoes I've worn. Hope this helps. I haven't tried a C width in Barrie as they are rather hard to come by.

Hi all. I am looking for a Cigar LHS in a 10 D or C width. I doubt I'll find a C width as these were a specialty run. Shoemart has these in 10 1/2D, but I think these may be a tad large. I might grab them if I can't find a 10 D. Any ideas? Has anyone come across the Cigar LHS anywhere other than Shoemart?

TIA.

I am a Brannock 10.5D. I wear a 10D in the Barrie/Tremont/Van last, and 10.5D in the Aberdeen/Plaza last.

Hi, MP-

Could we see a shot of the crepe bottoms? I've always been tempted to get one done there.

Many thanks!

I'm looking to pick up some tassels, and I'm trying to figure out the best size to get.

I wear a 10.5D Barrie last; 10.5E Van last; 11D in RL Marlow wingtips. Would a10.5E or 11D be best for Aberdeen last tassels?

Any thoughts on this in light of the recent tassel sizing discussion?

I would go 11D. Erring large and/or wide on loafers may result in heel slippage.

Thanks. Is the 10.5E going to be wider than the 11D?

^^ Looking good, DV. Are those navy trousers? I was going to pair Ravello with Navy today, but I chickened out and went #8.

Thank you. Yes, navy pants. Can't really go wrong w #8 and navy.

Looking good! I also have a pair of Aldens via mdubs

Thank you. Now that lsbh closed, mdubs has the best selection in Southern California.

Those are beauts!

Thanks.

LOL @ The Epaulet Brixton. I had my $ in that one for 16 months. Wonder if anyone still has his money down for that. I believe its at 3 years and 5 months now.

Hahaha, I stopped keeping track after I got my refund. I think it was around 30 months at that point. Who knows, maybe it will get made one of these days...Mike will let all the original guys on the preorder know first if it does!

I still have money on them. I just fear taking the refund, and then being offered the shoes first at updated prices! They had my money so long when they offered the refund, I figured they may as well keep it because they would come in eventually. Maybe I am wrong though.

At first I was confused....
@Rishi Kakar
 and @halfnhalfnhalf
 have the same exact Avatar.

Oh yea...haha. I was a bit thrown off, too, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together.

For a while I thought Rishi changed his name to halfnhalf... I couldn't conceive of anyone else being Cary Grant; or rather Rk was in fact Cary Grant!

That totally threw me off also!! Pretty low chances of two people choosing the same person and yet they chose the exact same picture of the same guy.

Prez, like you, I am a 10.5C TTS. I actually go with the 11B on the Aberdeen Tasseled Loafers.

ravello tassels via mdubs first time wearing tassels

Those are beauties DV, lucky your feet are a pidge wider than mine!!! Beebs, sadly there is a growing community of people having shoes de mdubs. Mdubs has exceeded his shoe quota by far and is going to be continuing to slowly offload some shoes. -Mike

I really like the tan suede on the LWB pattern, yes I realize this is a SW... I am getting a snuff LWB today. I totally don't need both though. I decided to go tan Dover and snuff LWB.
