    Sole dressing

    What do you re-stain sole and heel edges with when you don't want them to be black? If the uppers aren't black or some other dark color, it looks silly for the sole edges to be black, but all of that sole dressing stuff comes just in black. Can you just use shoe cream in the appropriate color?

    Japanese shoes

    In looking at Jun Kuwana's website (see here, for example) and at those Japanese shoe magazines, it's apparent that there are a not insignificant number of high-end Japanese-made shoes. Guild of Crafts, for example, appears to offer both RTW and fully-bespoke shoes, and some of the examples look...

    Edward green round-toe lasts

    What I'm looking for is an EG analogue of the JL Paris 7000 -- something with a toe that's slightly narrower, slightly more pointed, and slightly more elongated than the standard round-toe last. In EG last terms, maybe something that bears the same sort of relationship to the 202 that the 808...

    Custom cowboy boots

    I realize that some of you are not particularly enamored of cowboy boots, but some of you are and might find this interesting. I have a soft spot in my heart for cowboy boots, and ever since I saw a picture of custom-made elephant boots made by Dave Little in San Antonio in The Cowboy Boot Book...

    Lands' end selling alfred sargent shoes

    http://www.landsend.com/cd....0144150 The print catalogue also has a suede Chelsea boot, a suede chukka boot, and a calfskin cap-toe high lace blucher boot. I don't think that the pricing is very good, but it is a welcome development. I'll be interested to see how Lands' End does with them.

    Brandy

    Knowing full well that starting this thread might cost me some money (the Scotch thread was indirectly responsible for me dropping $80 for a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black and a bottle of Genmorangie Madeira Wood Finish), what are your favorite brandies? Primarily, I'm interested in Cognac...

    Shoe question

    What do you call it when the throat of the shoe runs all the way back to the heel? For an example, take a look at shoe #1 in this picture from the GJ Cleverley website:

    Romano martegani shoes

    As you may or may not know, board participant RIDER owns/manages the shoe department at Franco's Fine Clothier in Richmond. A few weeks ago in a thread that I can't seem to find, RIDER was commenting on the malleability of many of the smaller Italian shoe manufacturers: they can produce shoes...

    Bentivegna construction

    T4Phage's recent comment to marc37 regarding Santoni's varying levels of quality brought this up again in my mind. Some Italian manufacturers (notably Santoni and Lattanzi) boast that some of their shoes are made with Bentivegna construction. Here's what the Santoni website has to say about it...

    Rlpl/eg cardiffs

    These are exactly same shoes as the ones on Bluefly that we've been discussing for a couple of months. Good luck, dude, but I think your asking price is a bit high.

    Spanish shoes

    This was brought to mind by montecristo#4's post about his newly-purchased Yanko loafers. I've been told that Spanish-made shoes are often available at attractive prices because the Spanish government subsidizes the shoe industry substantially to help it compete with the Italian one, which is...

    Your significant other and your clothes habit

    What does your significant other think about your clothes habit? I'm specifically looking for condescending put-downs, sarcastic asides, and the like, but I'm curious in general about how they react to your hobby. I'll tell my story first: when I bought a digital camera, she said (first words...

    Heinrich dinkelacker

    Does anyone know anything about Heinrich Dinkelacker shoes? If I make out the Google translation of the Website correctly, the shoes are hand welted, and they look to be very nice, very much in the Vass/Budapest style. I particularly like the look of their version of the Budapester: It's not...

    Edward green question

    My new pair of EG Olneys on the 606 last in dark oak antique finally arrived on Friday, and as I was examining them, I noticed something that I haven't seen before: they have double soles, but the midsole begins to taper just aft of the ball of the foot and disappears completely near the waist...

    Interesting eg model

    I saw an interesting EG model at Saks on Friday. It's called the Southwold, and it's on the 888 last: Note the short wing cap, the unusually-shaped heel counter, and the fact that it's an Adelaide model. Very unusual, or at least I've never seen anything like it before. Jay Kos also has it on...

    Borrelli and kiton addresses in nyc

    I seem to be a searching dunce this morning. Does anyone have the addresses for the Borrelli and Kiton stores in New York City? Thanks.

    Oxxford crest

    I saw some Oxxford Clothes Oxxford Crest suits at Neiman Marcus today. None of them was in my size, so I didn't try any of them on. Can anyone tell me if there is any difference in cut, fabric, or construction quality between Oxxford Crest and regular Oxxford? Thanks.
