    Dress shoes for all-day walking

    Thanks for all the helpful posts, but I'll start with classic styled Crockett & Jones Handgrade and a dainite sole/city rubber . These shoes are very attractive, look well made, and should last the rest of my life if well cared-for; not just peices glued together with fake stitching. Women...

    Dress shoes for all-day walking

    Thanks again for the posts. I found this I thought was interesting and it makes me think sports shoes are very new. This one is 100+ years old looks like a dress shoe with some spikes. The other is a Nike shoe - a museum antique from the early 1970s! (sarcasm??) Montsora gave the idea of...

    Dress shoes for all-day walking

    OK. It sounds like good advice! Then I'll look for a real leather derby with a good inner-sole (to fit my foot shape) and a polyurethane/rubber outer sole for better wear/traction/weather than a leather outer sole. EDIT: I like the derbies because I see them as better "everyday" shoes than...

    Dress shoes for all-day walking

    Hi all. I'll be traveling soon, I'll be doing all day walking, and I'm looking for dress/semi-dress shoes. I'm over 50 and I'll try to wear something at least as formal as a sports-coat, button-down shirt, and khakis. I'd rather not wear sports, hiking, or sandal shoes. Sports/hiking shoes...

    Double Monk semi-bespoke shoes in Chicago/LA/London ?

    I was searching and thinking too much. All I had to do was visit a local bespoke shoe store. They can easily make what I looking for that fits properly, has the type I want, the style I want. Yes, I also wrongly thought an insole was needed for a well fitting shoe. Again, thanks for the help...

    Double Monk semi-bespoke shoes in Chicago/LA/London ?

    Ok. I was missing something. Increased the budget A LOT. I think I forget to add a "0".

    Double Monk semi-bespoke shoes in Chicago/LA/London ?

    Hi all. I'm ready to get my first "real" pair of MTM shoes (that requires care and you don't throw away). I was looking at double monk oxblood which looks versatile, but having a very hard-time finding where to buy anyplace. I went to Nordstrom, but all I found looked Off the Shelf. Found...

    Gentleman's boots for motorbike riding - newbie

    Thanks for the concern and the post. I don't believe anyone suggested I ride in less than fully safe & complete riding gear and there's no misunderstanding. - While riding, I've always wore a leather jacket made for motorcycle riding, used a full face helmet, and boots & gloves made for...

    Gentleman's boots for motorbike riding - newbie

    Thanks for all the posts. All very helpful. The Alden wingtip rubber sole boot (Royal Enfield also looks like it provides lots of protection), a double pleated moleskin trouser, and a sport-coat made of moleskin & thick leather elbow pads looks interesting. This seems about as durable as "smart...

    Vintage Gentlemen at home question - newbie

    Hi. Please elaborate. After some checking, the period between the Victorian era and when central heating/air-conditioning was available betwen 1901 and the 1950s. I remember reading hand fed coal furnaces was used at the turn of the 20th century. There was also hand adjusted Radiators. After...

    Gentleman's boots for motorbike riding - newbie

    Thanks for the post! I meant newbie to this forum rather than a newbie to motorbike riding. Now I'm turning 50 and starting to wear a suit every day like my grandfather. This made me think on what kind of boots I can wear with a suit and not look so awkward. I agree tall thick leather and...

    Gentleman's boots for motorbike riding - newbie

    @Murlsquirl, Thanks of the jumper boot suggestion. I didn't think of that and it's looks more durable than my suggestions while being more classy than the combat boots. @MonVert I think people will notice combat boots with the chunky lug sole neatly draped over by slacks. How does shifting...

    Haircut

    NY haircut better than no haircut. I don't think any special style is needed, just ask for something conservative. Unless you want a specific statement. But then you need to know what you're asking for. My 2 cents worth.

    How does this Schott peacoat fit?

    I can't find any big problems. From what little I know is the peacoat replaces the jacket, does not go over it.

    Gentleman's boots for motorbike riding - newbie

    Hi all. When I need motorcycle boots, I think of thick durable military style hiking boots. But what can I wear while being a little more formal ? I'm thinking of Chelsea Boot, Double Monk Strap boot, or Chukka that covers the ankles. My concern is I'll need to shift gears with the left...

    Vintage Gentlemen at home question - newbie

    Thanks for the posts! Quote: After searching I found LOTS of material on what to wear for any occasion. But didn't find anything on what people wear at home. Finding old informal family photos was also difficult - maybe I'm not using the best keywords. Your posts helped a lot. Quote...

    Vintage Gentlemen at home question - newbie

    Hi all. I read a lot about "golden age" mens clothes and the function behind it. After lots of searching, I didn't find anything on what happened at home. Here looks like a good place to ask. One thing I never understand is back in the day, what did men wear at home? From what I read, they...
