    Should shirt cuffs be snug or loose?

    I am going to agree with Andy here.

    Just cream and polish like you would normally do.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    I think the ankle belt is attractive, the problem was that it was completely ill fitted to the actual use of strapping anything as it is grossly over sized out of the box. Even a cobbler who did a slip-shod (seriously: screw that guy) on it, still made it more useful, but it's just too long of a...

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

    It seems more or less I'd be obliged to use them, as it appears they are last cobbler capable of working on good shoes in New York. Thank you! I will actually just bite the bullet and go to B. Nelson now.

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

    Anyone have recommendations for a cobbler in New York which could sew an eyelet tear (slight) on a pair of cordovan LWB and install grommets on the eyelets to arrest this problem moving forward?

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Seems like average price went up by about 100 dollars. Pretty ridiculous, if you ask me.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    What What a true pity, as I love my Aldershot, though I think that the reason why it is discontinued is that the wrap around belt was never properly fitted for the actual boot at all.

    Briefcase repair

    My apologies for coming off glib, but this is exactly the type of thing you need to go in person to as these are the sort of things that need to be seen, and most "just send us this stuff!" is probably not that great - or far more expensive. It is not that there are tons of these services all...

    Briefcase repair

    Then you are going to have to find a new cobbler or bring it to a leather store that might be able to advise you on who to seek repairs from.

    Briefcase repair

    I'd go to your trusted cobbler and see whether he could assist you, or if not, I'd go back to the manufacturer.

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    I need to repair my pair of Jeffersons as I love those shoes and I haven't worn them in a year because I gouged the tip. Note to self: Buy some Saphir Renovatrice.

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

    None of these reasons makes sense, I'd say. Mechanical pressures are unlikely to push oil deeper into the substance substantially. The penetration comes from staining through the inside of the material. I highly doubt that any amount of pressure that isn't compressing the leather itself in a...

    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    I hate how AE is going down the route of D route only for so many new offerings. The whole point of why I like Allen Edmonds is they offer wide shoes for gentlemen who want something nice. If they go down the "one size fits all route", then screw you guys, I'm going home.

    Condition and Polish New Shoes?

    Conditioning is probably not needed, though I think that it would suffice to condition a shoe with shoe cream rather than conditioner on its first wear. That being said, conditioning it is unlikely to cause harm if it is a mild conditioner, like say, a Saphir Creme Universelle or Bick4 or...

    Yeah, I like the variety/novelty, but the problem is: I want shell to give me all its advantages, not none of them.

    LOL. True story. And it does look cool, I must admit. It does look cool. It's a nice looking material.
