Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko
I have both Yanko (Carson Street Clothiers) and C&J (224, 341, 348 and 337) and I think all of them are great. Understand that quality is relative. IME, both manufacturers produce quality products and I don't really favor one over the other. So, IMO, regardless of which brand you choose...- Tomboys

** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
KPDarb-- Years ago, I purchased a pair of Chiltern and they felt a little big, but not so much that I needed a smaller size. So, I contacted the CJ store that I bought them from and they sent me a custom-cut pair of leather insoles at no cost (if memory serves me correctly, I don't think they...- Tomboys

Have you ever been completely happy with a sportscoat or business suit?
Are they perfect? No. Am I completely happy? Yes. Why? Because I don't seek perfection.- Tomboys

The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)
Therein lies my problem; I don't own any. So, I have nothing to compare it to. In C&J, I wear a UK9 in both 337 and 348 (tight at first width-wise, but gives nicely to form a great fit), Based on this, it sounds like I should go to a 43.5 on the U last (UK9.5 equivalent). Agreed...- Tomboys

Does anyone get mocked for over-dressing at work?
Actually, that would've been pretty cool. Then, when the owner asks for your name(s), everybody would reply, "Bond, James Bond."- Tomboys

The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)
IMO, Antic Cognac. On a side note, I really like the Dark Cognac. If I can ever figure out my sizing in Vass (U last), I think I'm going to get a pair made.- Tomboys

Does anyone get mocked for over-dressing at work?
Perhaps the title of this thread should be changed to: Does anyone get mocked for over-dressing at work?. To OP, I commend you for wearing a suit. Given today's social/business environment, it's becoming somewhat of a lost "art". Hopefully, that trend will reverse someday. I won't belabor...- Tomboys

Questions about AEs and Hickey Freeman suits in Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Sorry, the Hickey suit I was referring to was the 50% off one, not the anniversary ones. Everything at Nordstrom's main stores are first quality. Dunno about the Rack stores. Yes. There can be better deals--albeit finding them tends to be more blind luck than anything else. In fact, i...- Tomboys

Questions about AEs and Hickey Freeman suits in Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
You're very welcome. Unfortunately, the sale suit you looked at is now listed under Nordstrom Rack which means all the residual inventory has already been sent to their clearance centers. As such, finding your size in that suit--if it even exists anymore--is going to be like finding a...- Tomboys

Questions about AEs and Hickey Freeman suits in Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
HIckey Freeman makes a very good suit. And, at $800 - $1000.00, they seem to be a pretty good value. I will point out that two of the 3 choices have pleated pants. While pleated pants are being shown more for F/W 2013 (fall/winter), I find that flat front pants offer a cleaner line (compare...- Tomboys

LOL. Fresno is a unique market, so there would be some new models brought in for that clientele: fresno shoes.jpg (7k. jpg file)- Tomboys

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
I'll try to get some up soon. LOL. Hey, no complaining. You guys in SoCal get a lot of great unique, cool stuff (such as some of the offerings from Leather Soul in Beverly Hills). In NorCal, while we do have some great brands, the selection of each seems to be limited to a few basic...- Tomboys

How much waist suppression do you prefer?
IME, the amount seems to be governed by the wearer's physique more so than by their stylistic preference (taste). In my case, I'm probably in the light category, but would love to be in the moderate category. Unfortunately, my taste for Oreo cookies makes my physique unable to achieve that...- Tomboys

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Wilkes Bashford, San Francisco. They're just bringing them in and only had 3 models (1 loafer, 1 derby and 1 bal--all on Simpson last). Neglected to ask if more models were coming in because I was preoccupied with an extremely sexy pair of Gravati Tan Scotch Grain Norwegian Toe Derbies. So...- Tomboys
