    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Doh, looks like I missed the linen sale again this year. Are they just posting the sale here on SF? Because I don't think I got an email for it.

     Where you guys finding your sizings smaller than 8? I just went to the San Francisco store today, and basically they said, the have very few models smaller than 8 in stock. Quite the bummer as I really wanted to try on a few different lasts. The new Cornwallis looks great. Though I feel...

     Runners/trainers are different though. First off you don't usually get much options on width, most just offer one width. And given the flexibility of the fabric and lacing, it tends to mold much more easily to your feet compared to dress shoes. That said, I personally appreciate the...

     My big toe is shorter than my first toe. And over the past year, I've switched all my training/running shoes to wide toe box. I basically went up 1/2 size for all my training shoes. It's surprising how much your fit changes with a change in your foot posture. That is see a pretty big...

    Ok, I received my first pair of AE - Park Ave Merlot I bought from the Shoebank. The only defect is the right cap toe is slightly off alignment, which is fine by me. Beautiful shoe, but a bit disappointed how lacking a polish job come out of the factory. Now let's talk about fit, as that's...

     Happy to be patient. It's just my first time ordering from Shoe Bank (AE for that matter) and when I talked to the CS rep on Monday to place my order he said I should get my shoes by this Friday or Monday. Got the email invoice, but crickets on the shipping notification.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     No, not really. You'll get a shipping notification when it's ready. They were within the time window promised on the GMTO, but don't expect daily updates like some Kickstarter campaigns.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Fit is still king for me. Here's a new last and balmoral from AE that really caught my eye: http://www.allenedmonds.com/shoes/mens-shoes/dress-shoes/cornwallis-dress-oxfords/SF1052.html If you get the boots, let me know how they fit. Though I'm still skeptical given the custom/shipping...

     I'm very tempted too, but am torn as I work in a a more casual environment. So I do want to be able to wear with jeans and khakis. More so since I ordered the Park Ave in merlot already. I got someone on the phone right away and placed my Park Ave order from the Brookfield location...

    Thanks. I just ordered my first AE Park Ave on Monday, so I have no idea about relative fit. In general, I tend to have a wider ball and toe box requirement, average instep, and average to slightly narrow heel. But I found this on the Q&A on the Cornwallis page and this seems to be...

     Highly depends on your work and travel itinerary. I am adamant in fitting everything in a carry-on and also like to go for a run and/or hit the gym. So I'm packing gym clothes and trainers as well. No room for trees or another pair of shoes. I agree with getting wearing versatile...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Your current Meermin's is with the Hiro last? The Olfe last is even more narrow. I pretty much have the same issue with Meermin hiro last being tight in the toes. They don't have much offerings that are wider except for boots. I recently tired their wide Hiro-G, but that's too wide...

     They look great. How is the fit of the last? Looks pretty slim. This seems to be a new shoe and last as there's no additional info on the last page. I just saw a Cornwallis pop up in my size on Shoebank, so now I am very tempted.

     Wow. If I had such a long list, I could not imagine what my wife would justify to extend hers!

     Wow, I guess it's comes in handy to know how to redye and mix colors. Excellent work.

     I just ordered the Park Avenue Merlot in 7.5E. The customer rep said he couldn't see what the defect was on the pair he had on hand. Hoping for the best as this is my first AE order.

    Charles Tyrwhitt Reviews and Fitting

     Thanks. My order will likely exceed $199. I definitely got hit with duties from other international vendors that ship via Fedex.

    Charles Tyrwhitt Reviews and Fitting

    Guys, what's the story with customs/duty for USA customers? Everything ships from the UK right? Does CT charge local sales tax already, so no additional duty is added? I tried asking their CS, but their answers have been a bit vague and not that helpful. Doug
