Well you can try the mall at Short Hills. They have Saks, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale's.

that pretty far from me, I'll probably end up going in NYC when I'm there in a few weeks. Any good stores I should look for? I'm also hearing an increasing amount of info of how poorly made SF are besides the tramezza line. maybe i should look at other brands?

what you need to do is a search in the thread title NYC or shopping in NYC. There are a bunch of posts about guys checking various stores. If you just want to cruise around and check things out and ascertain your size, go to Saks, Barneys, Bergdorf, Turnbull & Asser (for C&J), Santoni, JM Weston, Polo Mansion and John Lobb. If your upper limit is $300, you likely won't be walking away with anything, though.

i suppose i will try to maintain optimistic while perusing ebay and the b/s forum. do most italian shoes have similar sizing? for example, could i try on a pair of bruno magli shoes to get an idea of the sizing of SF or santoni?

If you're gonig to NYC you can always include a stop at Daffy's or Century 21. There's no guarantee that they'll have anything, but you might walk away with the deal of a lifetime.

I would highly, highly, disagree. It's simply a matter of finding a show that looks great on you.

I just got the AE catalog today and am drooling. The Clifton, Park Avenue (classic!), Manhattan, Greenwich, all beautiful, timeless, and totally appropriate for a younger man.

Call the outlet store for current styles , prices and future sales. If needed, most outlet SAs will do a chainwide search for you.

I didn't realize the icon was flicking someone off. That wasn't nice.

i tried on some park aves today and i think i changed my mind about AE, it looked a lot more modern in person than in pictures online, so i guess it opens up some more interesting shoe options....
