    AE Shoe Resole

    I use B Nelson: http://www.bnelsonshoes.com/ Free shipping to NYC. Can't go wrong with this company. +1. I wore a pair of J&M Aristocrafts (that were getting ready for a resole anyway) to a muddy outdoor wedding where they got officially TRASHED (mud caked in everywhere, major water marks)...

    What kind of protein are you guys currently drinking?

    Dymatize Elite Gourmet Milk Chocolate. Great tasting, BCAAs, can find pretty cheap. I'm on my second tub now and I've liked it a lot. Don't get tired of it at all. With rice milk, a handful of ice cubes and a banana...that is seriously a dessert. I do think ON's double chocolate is probably an...

    AE Dryden: Which Last?

    I believe the Dryden is made to accommodate an orthotic or slim insert, according to the last description given on AE's website. I thought the Dryden (9D) fit a little weird (compared to other brands, I don't have other AEs) until I added a slim insole, and now it fits fine.

    Resoling Florsheim Shell Longwings w/ Joh. Redenbach

    There was recent thread on AAAC that showed a good looking v-cleat resole by B Nelson. http://www.askandyaboutclothes.com/f...d.php?p=890314 I'm starting to stalk ebay for an old pair with the intent of having them redone. edit: apparently the AAAC thread reposted the pic from here - there must...

    What's the word on Paul Frederick shirts? ...

    I went in on the $19.95 intro and the shirts are not bad. In the thread linked above, someone mentioned that the collars are better than Lands' End, I would agree. I ordered the tailored fit and am pleased with how they fit - no bagginess to complain of. Of course, the fabric is not the nicest...

    Help me decide on a shell wingtip

    If I had the money to get cordo wingtips, I'd promptly call up Leather Soul and get their latest Alden http://www.leathersoulhawaii.com/200...hell-cordovan/ holy smokes...maybe I'll ask for those as a law school graduation present

    Johnston Murphy vs. Cole Haan vs. Kenneth Cole (Shoes)

    I got a pair of the Aristocraft wingtips (not Crown Aristrocrafts). They were corrected grain and started flaking early so I took them back. I often for the the captoe instead which is calf skin though it took another three pairs before I was satisfied with the quality (glue splashed around the...

    J. Hilburn Shirts?

    Does anyone have experience with J. Hilburn shirts? http://www.jhilburn.com/default.aspx Apparently it is a direct sales company that deals in MTM shirts (a rep comes to measure you and then you can reorder online). I did a search here and AAAC with no results. They source fabric from Tessitura...

    Inexpensive khakis for business casual

    I got a couple pairs of the "Double L" chinos from LL Bean this summer for $24.99 each. Great pants, well built, and fit me a lot nicer than BR pants similarly priced.

    Is this Banana Republic suit good for interviews?

    Prices and quality. If you are set on that suit, go to their outlet store and they have a standard 3 btn charcoal gray suit as a permanent fixture (it looks just like the one in the picture). It is often on sale and they always have plenty of separates sizes. With the separates, I went ahead and...

    Garment Bag suggestions

    Has anyone tried the Skyroll suitcase? I really like the sky roll. I used it to move 4 suits this summer. I think it works very well. There is very little that needs to be done with the suits other than a quick steam, but even just hanging them back out seems to work things out. There is also...

    A weekend in Charlotte, NC - Where to go?

    I've been down here all summer and by far the best meal is at Fig Tree. Concord Mills is like any other outlet mall but it is all inside.

    Shoe Damage Report & Appreciation Central - Part I

    I've never seen that color on Drydens. Was that a special order? Love the chukkas I have Drydens in the same Mocha...GVH about 4-5 months back

    AE last comparison

    I have been wearing a pair of AE Dryden's (Last no.2) all summer and before I buy another pair of AE shoes, I ned to get my sizing nailed down a little more. I wear a 9D in almost every other shoe I own but the AE no.2 last is a bit roomy. I can still get through the day fine - they don't hurt...

    Recommendations for Charlotte dry cleaning, cobbler, tailor

    I will be in Charlotte for three months this summer for a legal internship. Does anyone have any recommendations for dry cleaning, shoe repair, or suit tailoring in the south park area? I have read some of the threads regarding nicer places to shop and noted some of the stores in the southpark...

    Johnston & Murphy Limited Edition

    Can anyone tell me something about Johnston & Murphy Limited Edition? Â Whew! I think this thread is so old, it was starting to decay, but my dad just dropped a pair of these in my lap. Too small for him (though he wore them for a number of years). The original sole is stamped Made in USA, it...

    Good price for AE Park Ave

    I am wanting to get a pair of AE park avenues to boost up my slowly growing/maturing shoe collection. I read on some of the more recent threads about some pretty nice deals, $195 on the ebay AE store (albeit for 2nds) , approx. $240 NIB on a January clearance sale...how often do these deals come...

    Tell me about my classic J&M shoes please

    i agree with distinctive about having a cobbler clean those up. very nice shoes - and if they're american made, the interior construction should be excellent - it's a shame J&M stopped making shoes in the states. I agree its a shame. My father and grandfather both sang the praises of the old...
