Found a couple pairs of decent shoes on my morning trip, Belvedere and Santoni These scream "Miami Vice" to me. (For you young-uns, I mean the TV show, not the movie.) Look like they belong in the '80s. Ugh. AEP- An Ex Parrot

Please help in assessing these ebay shoes
Any new pair of shoes that is referenced in the shoe Appreciation threads on this site is out of my price range. I can spend at most 200 USD and even new Alen Edmonds are mostly out of that range, also the pair of AE that I own already are disappointing to me so I'd rather not bother again with them or...- An Ex Parrot

Please help in assessing these ebay shoes
You mention working as a janitor. Presumably, you are looking for a shoe that you can wear to work as well as one that will look nice for social activities. You may want to re-think this approach. Years ago in college I worked as a waiter. Had a lovely pair of (then) top-of-the line J&M...- An Ex Parrot

Comfortable Non-Sneaker Walking Shoes
I strongly support getting Dr. Scholl's even if the shoe is comfortable it will make it a million times more comfortable. Especially if you'll be doing lots of walking. Query: I've tried the Dr Scholl's gel pads. Like the feel, but they are so thick they make my shoes too tight. Am I doing...- An Ex Parrot

Dress watch recommendation
A lot of those suggested seem rather busy on the face. I was under the impression that the OP was looking for something uncluttered. I assume the OP has looked at the Movado Museum watch and the like (though generally well below his price range, they are about the sleekest face design around)...- An Ex Parrot

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread
I have had a few bad experiences with some of my fellow thrifters on ebay(You know who you are). So I am going ask everybody here if you agree or disagree with me. 1. A moth hole of 1/2" should be listed/noted even if it is on the back of the tie. 2. You are not required by Ebay to list the...- An Ex Parrot

Should I replace my navy Jos A Bank with something better or add to my collection?
I guess it depends on what your purpose is in buying the suit. If the blue JAB looks bad, then by all means replace it with a better looking blue HF. Or, if your principal goal is to upgrade your suit collection, then replacing the JAB with the HF would be a good step in that direction. But...- An Ex Parrot

The official thrift/discount store bragging thread
Here's a question: I picked up a pair of AEs recently at SA. They're in good shape but they have the damn price written on the leather sole in what appears to be marker. Anyone have experience removing such things? I don't want to ruin the soles, but I also don't want to walk around with the...- An Ex Parrot

Brooks Brothers flip flops?
The outlet crap is not even close to their mainline 1818 stuff much less their GF or BF stuff. Most people don't know the difference between the RL line much less the BB lines. You shouldn't buy stuff for other people's perception of quality anyway. Agree completely. I was just saying that...- An Ex Parrot

Brooks Brothers flip flops?
The problem is they don't seperate their different "brands" in the same way RL does. The logo hoodie and the 3K suit are both in the minds of consumers Brooks Brothers. There needs to be a more substantial differentiation of product lines so that the low end products don't drag down the...- An Ex Parrot

Washington, DC sales
Good to know that the Potomac Mills one is better. The Pentagon City one is such a huge waste of time. I should have added the disclaimer that I haven't been to Potomac Mills in probably more than a year. So, NR has had plenty of opportunity to go further downhill since then.- An Ex Parrot

This is what is known as brand dilution. BB has done way too much of it the past number of years.- An Ex Parrot
