    JM Weston appreciation thread

    Out of curiosity, why do you prefer JM Weston to EG? Unfortunately other than Le Moc, the last don’t do it for me. They are either too elongated and pointy or too chunky. But that’s just me

    JM Weston appreciation thread

    Popped my JM Weston cherry with a pair of Le Moc for myself and another for the missus. I must admit that the quality is superficially quite comparable with that of EG. Has anyone been to the Champs Élysées branch? They perform the fitting in an auditorium!

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

    Thanks for chipping in guys. Lots of great advice and tips here. I'll be in London for a short trip, and will look out for something suitable.

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

    Well the BC has a hard base but I agree that the Clegg has more structure. Am seriously considering the Clegg as a more reasonably priced alternative. Totally different styles though... Duffle vs ?bowler bag?

    Style wise, which would you guys choose? The BC, or this Frank clegg duffle

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

    @kankles: thanks for the suggestions! The Tustings canvas bag looks pretty good actually. Definitely worth considering. Looks like there is consensus that leather bags are too heavy to start with and will be a chore to lug around. That's a shame, as I really like the looks of leather, but I...

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

    I will hand carry the bag exclusively. Unfortunately, living in Singapore means no long drives into the country without a long international flight first, which means the bag has to survive the plane journey. I do agree with you regarding the hassle of lugging a full leather bag around the...

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

     Thanks for sharing your experience. How much smaller is your bag? Do you find it too heavy for travel? I always stuff my bag under the seat, where it will probably incur its own share of scuffs. Well, it builds character, I hope.

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

     Do you feel the roller mechanism limits the space you have in the bag? I have a roller Tumi but I prefer something that will fit under the seat. I tend to take and put things into my bag regularly during the flight. I hate to say this but those codura duffle bags seem ideal. Cheap, light...

    Gentleman's pocket knife

    Ah, great minds think alike! Unfortunately I lost mine a couple of years back, and haven't pulled the trigger on a Mnandi as yet. Am carrying my backup Spyderco manbug currently.

    Gentleman's pocket knife

    Wish I could get my hands on one of these. Chris Reeves Mnandi, with giraffe bone inlays. IMO there isn't a better gentleman's folder on the market. If you are looking for something more functional but yet something that doesn't scream "tactical folder", how about the Benchmade emissary...

    Questions regarding a cabin bag / weekend bag

    Cross post from the quick question thread, as it may not be the best place for it (I was hoping more for a discussion than a quick answer). Hi people, Perhaps I could obtain a quick opinion regarding carry-on luggage for international flights? I have been searching for ages, and I believe...

    Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, I often have to check luggage, as I fly international (living in Singapore, not much of a choice there). I usually stuff my carry on under the seat, or use it as a leg rest. The bag has no external pockets, and is actually quite fiddly to open with...

    Hi people, Perhaps I could obtain a quick opinion regarding carry-on luggage for international flights? I have been searching for ages, and I believe I have found what I think is my grail bag: the Brunello Cucinelli leather weekender: It was love at first sight, and I managed to get an...

    Septieme Largeur footwear - Discussion Thread

    I didn't specify the exact colours per se. All I did was tell Lucas (shop owner of the branch in Singapore) that I wanted a dark brown with lighter streaks of colour variations. I think he mixed like 3-4 colours though. Sorry I can't be of more help.

     Should I use saphir cream polish as well?

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Hi everyone, I've recently purchased a pair of Berluti Lorenzo kangaroo leather loafers, and am wondering how I should care for them. The leather is very soft unlike calf leather, but does not have the texture of suede either. Berluti recommends rubbing in their renovating lotion (which I...

    Thanks! The tongue was dyed a single tone. I know the tone looks a little different from the rest of the shoe in the photo but it matches well in real life.

    Septieme Largeur footwear - Discussion Thread

    I recently bought a pair of SL shoes, and while I haven't worn it enough to comment on comfort and durability, I must say the quality of a new shoes is better than what I expected for what I paid for it. :slayer: I needed something discreet to go with the navy suit that I'll wear for my...
