Besides Hermes store, I don't think someone happens to have a spare Hermes strap. You might want to search on ebay, but authenticity can be questionable. It's best to go with custom strap. Try Ted Su at http://www.teddy-straps.com/

You can always ask people in some watch forum like watchuseek.com for recommendation. They have some strap makers there too.

Quick question. I'm a fashion marsupial, how much of the inseam should I get taken off when I get these cheap 505's hemmed for optimal stacking/not looking like an idiot? Note, the front forward picture is cuffed just to see what it looks like. And yes, I know I need new kicks.

Also, my 505's are a bit baggy in the rear because I have no ass. Any recommendations on another cheap jean that may work out? On a student budget here.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

^^^ make sure to wash them at least once before hemming... otherwise 6 months in when you finally do they'll shrink a bit and then all your fades will be off, plus maybe too short afterwards. I'd suggest posting this Q in the "streetwear and denim" section's "ask a Q"

Thanks for the tips. Sorry about posting on the wrong board, was unaware that there were two different "ask a Q" threads.

I'll move it over to that one.

Who makes this BBBF shoe? I thought it Alden for some reason (but obv not since they don't make double monks). The website says made in England.

My guess would be Church's, maybe Grenson. They're too inexpensive and clunky to be Crockett & Jones.

Why in the hell do you want those anyway?

Who said Church's are not expensive? They're at the same par with C&J (pricewise). Also, shoemakers can make shoe according to any specification given by the client, hence price might not be the best indicator of shoemakers.

I want them because I like them. Some of us like "clunky" shoes. Barrie last much?

I've just never heard of C&J doing a shoe for BB.

C&J makes dozens of BB shoes. There is a 90% chance those are C&J. 10% chance of Alfred Sargent.

C&J's 240 last (used on a lot of BB shoes) is very clunky. Not everything C&J makes is sleek.

The "clunky" aspect doesn't really bother me (Vass banana last), but I'm just not a fan of the shoe as a whole, just curious why you landed on these.

I apologize if I've offended you.

It's an Internet forum kid, and that's still better than an uninformed answer.
