this thread delivers.

On a related note - does anyone have a source for shoes without those wooden blocks in them? They blocks are shaped like a foot. But when the wooden foot is in there, I can't wear them. There is no room for my feet.

Just be sure to remove the correct row of stitches, typically the one in the middle.
The ones on either side should attach the pocket to the jacket.
I learned this the hard way once.

I wanted to leave those little stickers on the soles of my Edward Green shoes to show that they were real, but they fell off the first time I wore them. How do I keep them on?

Plus I just don't know how to button the damn things up. The cuffs should be functional, else they should just remove them.
