    Bespoke from Singapore (pic heavy!)

    Any first-hand experience with Lai En and Madam Neo? The latter seems to get a lot of online praise, but I don't know if it's customer reviews or PR. I'm looking for good CMT for shirts and pants only. Separate recommendations for each will be best.

    Definitely. Vass seems bigger than standard for the smaller sizes.

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    What is considered a comfortable allowance for slim fit shirts? Is it 1 or 2 inches from the actual chest or waist measurement? Do you use the same circumference allowance across the different parts of the shirt i.e. Neck, chest, arm, waist? Of course this is subjective, but I want to hear SF...

    Singapore - Tailors?

     For alteration of CT shirts, who is recommended in Singapore? The point in bespoke is really the fit. In this case, material quality is dependent on the brand, fit depends on the alteration tailor.

    Bespoke Shoes from Asia

    Diamond Walker is garbage. They are glued MTO shoes priced to appear like cheap bespoke. 1-post 'wonders', please do your self-promotion somewhere else, not SF.

    Bangkok Satorial Shopping List

    I will be going to Bangkok soon (my first time), and I wonder what my fellow SFers recommend that I buy there. It will probably be 4 days? Tailored shirts (Milan Suits perhaps?) Tailored trousers - separate from suit (no idea who is known for this) Tailored suit (anywhere worth a shot?) RTW...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Single sole. I am short and light, so it makes sense to get a single sole.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    All my shoes are topied. I must say that the rubber put on by Vass is solid, especially since they nail the rubber to the sole at the toe tip. I don't have experience with the leather sole as I always get the rubber added.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    F is a very sharp round-toe. Sharp in its shape from the vamp to the toe box, and round in the shape of the toe tip. R looks like the AE #5 last from pictures. But I only have experience with the F last, will never get the R last. So there's the bias.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Many say the F last looks plump in pictures but is sleek in person. It may have to do with the high instep, which is partially hidden when trousers are worn. My 41.5 F last Italian oxfords above. For the small size, they are really quite pointy, almost like the G&G Deco last.

    Lightly worn 8.5 B/D Alden Shell Loafers

    Gorgeous shell loafers in the Aberdeen last. Model 684, size US8.5 B/D. Lightly used and well-maintained with shoe trees and the occasional Saphir wax. Shoe trees not included. PayPal charges included, but not shipping (price lowered to accommodate shipping from Singapore). PM me your ZIP...

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Does Vass use a cork footbed that conforms to the shape of one's feet, the way AE shoes are supposed to? Pardon my ignorance.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

     My advice is to avoid a plain toe. Try a plain wingtip perhaps, or maybe an austerity brogue. Plain toe shoes like wholecuts usually look best when new. They won't look like wholecuts anymore after a few wears with all the creases appearing.

    Thank you! 6319 cognac simply looks a shade lighter than antique cognac. Am I right in saying that? Are all the shoes italian polished?
