His research has proven to be fallible...too bad for him

Yeah, I tried to be nice and answer each in turn (although not my height and weight) but he finally pissed me off.

Bolded part is the answer you seek. Never heard the brand though, I will Google them to find out.

Not the right place, but whatever... On Church's does this mean size 9.5F?

I think so, but am not certain. All Custom Grades that I've handled have had the same handwriting, and the numbers have turned out to be, as best I can discern, the UK size.

Ebay rant


Got this series of questions from a buyer for this SC

Can you send me a picture of the hickey freeman logo?

What's the history on the jacket?

What's your height and weight?

I did some research. It's not a hickey freeman. It's an h. Freeman which is a different company and ls carries them.

BLOCKED

It does look shady, IMO, when you pointedly don't take a picture of the label, even more so when you know to take a pic of the embroidered HF signifying that its most likely mainline (right?).

any verdict on the croc shoes guys,what do you think croc or no croc?

I think no croc... It would usually say something about it on the sole with a plaque or something

 

[frenchytoo]

not necessarily,but i think you guys are right..been had croc blocked

The HF label was removed and replaced with the menswear shop's label, which is what I told him.
