    Boot lacing advice - no speedhooks

    I recently ordered my final pair of boots that I am likely to ever buy, the RMW Rickaby, which arrived yesterday. They're a 7-eyelet derby or service boot (what's the difference between the two styles? ) My other pair of derby boots are the C&J Eskdale 2, which have 4 speed hooks. While they...

    Favourite style of shoes/boots

    This has probably been done to death but I couldn't find it. Chukka was a clear favourite of mine but recently I've been hankering over Derby boots and Chelsea's. I have three pairs of Chukkas and one Chelsea and one Oxford but no derbies so that should be my next purchase but a pair of RMWs...

    FAO dainite haters

    I was in Jermyn Street earlier eyeing up a pair of C&J Moltons which have been on my radar for a while now. But the damn dainite soles put me off and so had a very long chat about resole options with them. Decided not to buy them today and then popped into Church's store to enquire about...

    Thoughts on suit supply overcoat and colour choice

    Gents, I know this is far from a traditional overcoat however I am looking for something that can be worn with jeans and chinos yet can still be worn with trousers if required. I was thinking of the lighter grey for a more casual look. The blue one has a herringbone pattern which makes it a bit...

    Earth Green C&J Chiltern

    I have this shoe in snuff which I love. Thinking of getting another pair, I have plenty of brown suedes and don't want another for now so that leaves earth green. How versatile would this be? I mainly wear medium to dark jeans now, very rarely wear chinos but if I do it's light grey, beige...

    Which Crockett & Jones boots?

    Hello gents, Here is my humble shoe collection I am a big fan of suede boots and have been drooling over the new C&J Eskdale 2. I visited their store to see and try them on, but the Skye 3 caught my eye. The Skye 4 (suede) had been on my radar previously but now discontinued but in Chestnut...

    Dont like raw denim or selvedge, what are my options?

    I'm not a fan of stiff, raw denim that will bleed dye in my shoes and don't particularly care for selvedge jeans. I prefer to light weight jeans that are comfortable even with a bit of stretch to it. I'll probably get slated here but what are my options if I want to spend a £100 (probably...

    Church's shoes quality control

    I ordered a pair of Church's Ryder chukkas (F fitting) online two weeks ago and the left boot was wider than the right. I actually thought they had sent me the G fitting boot by mistake so they went back and exchanged for another pair. Received them yesterday and the same problem again! The left...

    Church Ryder 3 - Maracca vs Brown versatility

    I have wanted to buy these after I discovered this forum many years ago but couldn't justify it and bought a cheaper pair of boots instead (Loake Pimlico in Brown Suede). The Loakes are decent enough shoes but the capital last is a bit "formal" and sometimes feel out of place with the rest of my...

    Eyewear experts - I need your help!

    I have been through 7 pairs of sunglasses and finally found a pair that I like - the Serengeti Tosca. http://www.serengeti-eyewear.com/products/tosca/satin-dark-brown-polar-phd-drivers.aspx But there is a couple of small niggles that bother me. 1. When I lay the glasses on a flat surface...

    What's a 'travel suit'?

    I am in need of a budget suit and have searched the forum for what is 'acceptable' by the high standards of SF. So I narrowed my choices to Charles Tyrwhitt suits in Navy. One is a labelled as a travel suit...

    if you can have one pair of dress shoes - what type

    I work in construction and rarely get to wear a suit. I have a cheap suit and corrected grain leather chelsea boots (yuk!) which I bought 6 years ago but only worn it a dozen times or so. So now I thinking about buying a better suit and decent shoes - they will be my only pair of shoes. What...

    Country boots with jeans

    Hello, Been a long time lurker, didnt realise I had an account! I have no dress sense and am a walking fashion disaster! I have committed all the fashion sins, wearing jeans with running shoes, black jeans with brown shoes etc. but no more (one hopes)! A few years ago I bought a pair of...

    For a semi-formal occasion is this generally considered a 'no no' or is it acceptable? Opinions please.

    Difference between RL Polos - Custom fit and Slim fit

    Went to my local Ralph Lauren retailer and they only had slim fit polos so couldnt compare the two. I wont really get a chance to go shopping during the next few days thought I'd ask here. I'm aware the custom fit is shorter and slimmer than the classic fit, so does that make the slim fit a...

    Help me choose from two suede chukkas

    Following my other thread 'are suede brown shoes for old men', I have decided to buy a pair. I had pretty much decided to get the Loake Kemptons but after seeing the Loake Pimlico I can't make up my mind. Both are pretty similar, the Kempton being 026 last and Pimlico the newer capital last...

    Are brown suede shoes for old men?

    As above. I'm 26 and want to buy a pair of brown suede chukka boots. I do like them and was set to buy a pair and the other day I was watching a repeat of Top Gear and noticed Jeremy Clarkson wearing a pair! I'm sure guys in the UK know who he is but for those that don't, this guy constantly...
