What are the price of Alden longwing calf? I actually have a pair in light brown that I will be looking to sell. Only worn a couple times. Thing is I bought a shell version of the same shoe so kind of pointless to have both. Just not sure what to price it at.

I highly recommend cobbler Gary Coakley in London.

This is a before and after from Timeless Shoe Repair. I can’t say enough about how comfortable these boots are now. New cork and outsoles do make a huge difference. On the other hand, I have a pair of RM Williams chelsea boots to be resoled. I called the Australian Boot Company and they get...

Checked out Nordstrom Rack on Bloor for the first time in a while. Decent mix of pants that looked like they could have come from the mainline stores. Saw some Canali, Pal Zileri, Nordtrom Signature (wool dress) and Hiltl (casual cotton blend), all between 100 and 200 CAD. A few E. Zegna and Jack Victor. The combinations of fabrics and sizes (largely 32-38 North American) were hit or miss.

Was lucky enough to spend 4 nights in your lovely city recently. Was not in a shopping mode so just spent a few minutes in Harry Rosen. Loved the Shanghai-La hotel where they actually had shoe trees in the closet.

Yes, I did think of Dutil. However, afaik, they just send it to Studio Kim.

You already know about Studio Kim, which is who I would have recommended

Also Sydney's has done repair work for me in the past

What brand of Neatsfoot oil does everyone use? Can only seem to find Fiebings in Canada. And where do you buy it? Mostly equestrian related stores carry it in Ottawa or the Prairie

 

[velomane]

@suitforcourt There's this outfit in Winnipeg. If they don't ship, I can pick some up for you and send it along.
