    Seiko Upgrade

    Thanks for all the responses. I'm really not a watch guy, so I don't know much about specs. I guess I'm looking for something with similar styling, sapphire crystal, automatic movement, but better movement. Are Longines/Tudor the next place to look?

    Seiko Upgrade

    I think a lot of people would agreed that Seiko watches (specifically 5 Sports and Prospex) are a great value. They punch quite a bit above their weight. I'm curious what everyone thinks is a logical upgrade step from there. Outside of Grand Seiko (or King Seiko), where would you look for a...

    Understanding Leather Quality

    Absolutely incredible response. Thank you So I guess it's really hard to distinguish between similar shoes just by touch or sight. It really comes down to understanding the hides before they become shoes.

    Understanding Leather Quality

    What are you all looking for when you judge a shoe's leather quality? I have pairs from C&J, TLB, Carmina, Cheaney, Allen Edmonds, etc. What are they key characteristics you look at when judging the quality? This is purely just for my own edification and ability to compare my shoes in the effort...

    Tie Length

    I was on Shibumi-Firenze's site today and was looking at their two tie lengths for the 9 cm ties (147 cm and 160 cm). Is there a simple way to determine, based on your height what length tie would work better for you? Obviously, individual factors could alter this like a long or short torso...

    Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

    Trying to decide between these and the C&J Moltons. Any idea how the two brands compare? (Not including the price difference.)

    Waxed CF Stead Suede

    For years I thought Waxy Commander and "Rough Out" Suede were the same things, just branded differently by different shoe companies (e.g. Carmina and Crockett & Jones). Today, on the Stead website I saw they were actually two different suedes. Does anyone know the difference...

    TLB MALLORCA - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD - Advice, sizing and reviews

    I think so. I don't like any soles that have some exposed leather for snowy and wet weather. I have the longwings in brown grain with Incas double soles and they're great in the rain.

    Is Brand Loyalty Impossible When Building a Wardrobe?

    Really fantastic responses. I think "preference" is a better word than loyalty. Maybe uniformity is an even better word. Like "My shirts or shoes are all from one brand. That's just where I shop." Reading these responses, I see the value in mixing it up. Maybe you're just in a mood for one...

    Is Brand Loyalty Impossible When Building a Wardrobe?

    I've been spending a lot of time lately trying to find the best shoe brand for me. I've been searching through and starting multiple threads on how different brands compare. The most common answer I've gotten are usually questions about specific products with little to no answers about any brand...

    TLB MALLORCA - OFFICIAL AFFILIATE THREAD - Advice, sizing and reviews

    I'm exactly the same size. Cheaney 125 and 130 are great fits at 10.5. Carmina Rain and Forest at 10.5. I have a pair of Goya captoes that fit very well at 10.5 too.
