    Hi all, Saw this for sale on the Facebook marketplace for around $150. Can anyone identify what it is?

    Show us how you roll in Engineered Garments

    Is EG cheaper to get in Japan? I'll be in Osaka next month and I'm thinking of dropping by the Nepenthes branch there.

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    Would it be a stupid idea to just have the shoulders taken in? (asuming I can find a good tailor). I wouldn't normally consider it, but he's letting it go for a really great price.

    Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

    Thanks. I might have considered going a size down but the sleeves would have been way too short.

    A friend is selling me his Bedford jacket. Does it look to big on me?

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Thank you again gentlemen. Opinions on this PTB on ebay: http://www.ebay.ph/itm/322582786836?ul_noapp=true The seller is asking for $199 plus shipping. Is this too high?

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Thanks all. As per everyone's advice, I'll just keep them as is for the time being. I made the mistake of back-reading this thread unfortunately so I'm now looking to add a shell ptb to my collection :D. Can anyone recommend a reputable site that sells vintage shoes? I'd rather avoid going on...

    Thanks! They're just a pair of Old Navy Straights that I got on sale, they call them Broken-in chinos if I recall correctly.

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

    Thanks. I'll try the spoon trick this weekend and see how it goes from there. One more question, I've read somewhere that Alden applies a glazing to their shells to give them a more glossy look. Do you know if Florsheim did the same to theirs? My Florsheims are pretty glossy but I don't know...

    Hi everyone. I apologize if this question has been asked before but is it worth it to get a deer bone to reduce the rolls on my Florsheim longwings?
