    Your favorite restaurant, period.

    Golden Century in Sydney. +1 for Golden Century. The seafood is first rate. At times, the queue outside the place is long enough to fit into another restaurant.

    Trendy shoes

    If I remember correctly, I saw some G&H branded shoes in the C&J factory store in Northhampton back in 2004. Could these be C&Js? It's a great way to get rid of the rejects.. Punch a hole in the wrong place? No worries. Just do it a few more times at random places and we'll brand it Gieves.

    Punish the stingrays -

    It's referred to as skate for culinary purposes. Delicious indeed. Cannot agree with you more. The street stalls in Lau Pai Sat in Singapore serves a great barbecued stingray. Lots of bones, though...

    Good shoe repair in Sydney?

    Coomb's shoe repair at the Strand arcade seems to be fairly popular. They are an authorized repair location for RM Williams. I use them for simple repair jobs and they seem to do good work. Henry Bucks who carries C&J, Church's and others recommends the cobbler on top of Wynyard station...

    LA area factory outlet shopping this time of year

    Hello, I am in the Orange County area at the moment and was thinking of checking out some factory outlets over the weekend (leaving next Sat). What are the factory outlets like this time of year? Since the summer sales has just been over, is it going to be swimming in goods unsole from the...

    AE Pebble Grain Leather..pics and question

    Indeed Bringing them 'back to life' consisted of 48 hours in trees and 1 day on my feet. They are 100% back to life. Looks to me like someone stuck the shoes in a flatbed scanner and held the cover down...

    AE Pebble Grain Leather..pics and question

    Is it just the view or is the sole (the bits around the edges) not extending outwards as much as the modern AEs? I think that helps to make the shoe more elegant. On the other hand, isn't pebble grain more a "country" shoe rather than a "city" shoe? Also, I think certain manufacturers apply...

    Fountain pen review: the new Omas Paragon

    Is the vermeil/sterling section a magnet for fingerprints? Also the clip seems to be a more modern take of the classic Omas clip. I don't like it. Omas is now a member of LVMH... Hopefully they won't runin it.

    Edward Green repair cost?

    For behcngrade, C&J charges GBP80 for a complete resole at Northampton through the Royal Arcade store. Postage comes to around GBP40 to the Asia Pacific. Took 2 months but it came back flawless. Not sure if they charge more for handgrade. I requested double soles which was gladly provided and...

    Shoelace quality?

    I personally like the laces by church's. They are hollow which give a really secure knot. They also come in brown and black. All for approx US$3.

    Ascot Chang SUIT quality?

    To clarify, would these Ascot Chang suits be comparable to Chan? Bear in mind that, for AC suits, you will probably be measured and fitted not by a cutter (of suits) but a shirtmaker instead. I'm not sure how (or if) that affects the end result. On the other hand, Chan shirts are measured and...

    Ascot Chang SUIT quality?

    I've heard about Ascot Chang offering suits in their HK stores. My understanding is that they are actually done by William Yu or Gordon Yao (both big and respected names in HK tailoring, like WW Chan). The prices are near to what WW Chan charges. Never seen a finished product, however.

    What do you guys think of these shoes?

    Is it just me or does it share inspiration from the AE wholecut models? $110 for Loakes ain't bad.

    John Lobb on eBay

    These Lobbs are the real thing, not seconds or rejects (this seller will note the inside of the shoe is stamped "R" if they are rejects/seconds). I think they are not terrific value but does represent a sizable discount to retail. It appears the auction has ended anyway. So I guess it's a moot...
