John Lobb resole - B. Nelson or...?
If it's welted you can change to a leather sole. Leather is actually more pliable and less bulky unless it's a micro rubber sole which is the only sort I would wear. A GOOD local shoemaker can do the job if you can find one. Here's an example of what I call a micro rubber sole and appears to be...- DrHouse

Double Monk recommendations
Foot size and width, like IQ, is on a Bell Curve. Even if 1/2 the people had a D width (and I'm not sure of this) it would still mean that the other 1/2 were narrower and wider and would vary going up and down with of course the AAA and EEE being very tiny. But the point is that if you're buying...- DrHouse

Those only come in 1 width. No one buys a better shoes that you can only get in 1 width. No wonder so many of you on here are wearing ill fitting shoes- DrHouse

Double Monk recommendations
I wouldn't recommend these type shoes because they are just plain ugly. Get a single strap instead. Something like this- http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=523&Product_Id=736973&Parent_Id=522&default_color=BLACK&sort_by=§ioncolor=§ionsize=- DrHouse

Do's and Don'ts of SF Approved Fashion in the Work Place
OK. So you'll be working in a place where you don't have to wear a suit. Perhaps the mailroom? Just wear jeans and a shirt, no one will be looking at you.- DrHouse

Neiman Marcus "Made in China" cashmere sweaters
Last Call is an outlet owned by NM just as Off 5th is owned by SAKS but that's the extent of it. The merchandise is all different and it's really another company. Made in China is not bad and today can mean Made in Hong Kong where high quality goods were always made. Cashmere is one of those...- DrHouse

Allen Edmonds new budget line?
AE has always made some shoes that were 30-40% less than their regular line usually the more sport or walking types although even these were made like the regular line and had that 1 piece leather footbed (there were no removeable insoles that I know of) and of course they were made in the US...- DrHouse

Shoe trees
I think you're referring to that aromatic red cedar. There's also other cedars like Spanish cedar used for cigar boxes because it doesn't have a really strong scent and it's more subtle. I think that some of my very old chests use it and it still retains that nice smell but subtle not like the...- DrHouse

What are the most essential types of shoes for a man to own?
It really all depends upon your age and what you do. Someone in HS or college is going to be wearing a lot of casual or sports type shoes and having mostly dress shoes may just be a waste where you may not wear them very much. An older man who works as a lawyer may have a high % of dress shoes...- DrHouse

Shawl Collar Sport Coat????
Do you know how old that is? Personally I like shawl lapels and regular labels but don't like peaked. I just think that it should be a bit wider but I'm not sure if a shawl is good on that jacket. I do have a number of items with shawl collars, some RTW or made for me. I have a sheepskin coat...- DrHouse

What SF approved item is your vote for the biggest waste of money ?
I never wear a watch biut people who wear expensive watches and jewellery or anything else are just spending their money and not necessarily "flaunting" it. After all, what are you going to do with all of your money if you don't spend it. And it's not so easy to spend money when you're wealthy...- DrHouse

Rock hard leather inner and outer soles can beat your poor feet to a pulp. Here's what I do....
Stop trying to make yourself sound smart by using Latin because you've never studied it as I have as a kid and are just grabbing a phrase from here and there. And it's populum. And you seem to mention people on welfare a lot. Are you and your family on welfare? The you should know that aside...- DrHouse

So you're basically like this devolving guy and like to criticise things you can't afford I see no reason to stop wearing shirts with crocodiles on them and which were being made before you were born just because a couple of SF kids who can't afford them are jealous and then criticise.- DrHouse

Thomas Pink ribbon cufflink for breast cancer
That's exactly what I think. I won't be buying anything from Pink anymore. It's bad enough we have to see this silly pink ribbon nonsense all over as if it's the only thing in the world but when a co. making its profits from men isn't concerned with male issues hen it's time to cut their profits...- DrHouse

Is this size of the polo shirt correct?
btw, would you do something for me because I'm curious? Measure the shoulder to shoulder seam and the pit to pit seam. Thanks. The reason I ask is because I can't imagine a 6' guy of normal build wearing anything smaller than a large.I don't know if it's Polo these days or the outlet store goods...- DrHouse

At almost 6' and a 170 lbs you should be a large so this medium must be vanity sized. I'd keep the M. The small will be too tight on the shoulders and chest and possibly too short.- DrHouse

That sounds about right. But you have to feel sorry for someone who is so insecure and apparently has some sort of inferiority complex that he has to post comments criticising expensive items that he can't afford. You don't really believe that this guy wears $800 shoes. JM casual shoes are...- DrHouse
