    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    Yes. Best combination of mid rise, relaxed thighs, strong taper I’ve found.

    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    679 in 16 oz. Kiwami denim (hand-dyed natural indigo) close-up pics. Up close, they have clearly different-colored threads ranging from light blue to near black, but at a few feet away it has an impressionistic effect of general texture. Pretty interesting denim for <$300 (from Denimio). They...

    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    Denimio, Blue Owl, Redcast, Son of Stag are the websites I check, though the US sites don’t have arctuates on the back pockets. I’ve only ever ordered from Denimio and had very good experiences, they can chainstitch hem (for a fee) and will also confirm measurements on the specific pair...

    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    Higher rise does generally mean more room in the seat, if you’re not filling that out then yeah, it’ll be baggy. You could try wearing it a bit higher, google Bret Contreras, or ship it off to Denim Surgeon to shorten the back rise, not super cheap but they do pretty good work if it’ll salvage...

    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    I can’t speak to the skinnier Oni cuts, but secret denim regularly stretches 1.5-2” inches at the waist, so work off the measurements on the retailers website accordingly. Denimio, Redcast, and Blue Owl all carry them. The stretching happens pretty quickly, and the denim is otherwise very soft...

    The Devil's Lair - The ONI Denim Thread

    Recently discovered this brand after being out of the Japanese denim game for a while when my 10-pair collection all stop fitting to various degrees (finally got serious about squatting). The 679 model has reignited my love for jeans, and I now have it in secret denim (ZR), dark indigo (BZR)...

    Carmina Penny Loafer, Brown, 7.5 UK/8.5 US, Uetam last

    For sale are Carmina penny loafers on the Uetam last, size 7.5 UK/8.5 US. These will ship in the original box with the red Carmina felt shoe bags (as pictured). I wore these out of the house exactly once before realizing they're a little too small for me (see minimal sole wear), so they're in...

    Anyone know the return policy? I have a belt I ordered from the NYC store that I'd like to send back, which I emailed them about a few days ago to no response. Do I just send it back?

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Thanks. I'd be surprised if my Gmail address is getting caught in their junk filter as I have corresponded w/ Luisa in the past, but I'll keep that in mind. Feels a little odd that I have to work this hard to get them to take my money, but I understand their still a relatively fledgling company...

    Does anyone have a good contact for MTO? I've emailed Luisa and used the form on their website twice over the past month, with no response.

    Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

     I had been using USPS, which is quite useful once it leaves Europe, but it did actually kick out of customs the night after I posted this. Good to know I can contact them if needed in the future.

     I'm a 7.5 UK in the Rain and Hiro. Hiro is maybe a tad roomier, but definitely same size.

    Skoaktiebolaget – Enzo Bonafé, Saint Crispin’s, Löf & Tung

    Ordered a belt that they shipped immediately on the 7th, it his customs in New York on the 10th, and it's been sitting there ever since. Any ideas how long that can take? I have previously ordered shoes from them that were only in customs for a couple of days if I'm recalling correctly. Is...

    The Armoury - Official Affiliate Thread

    As a follow up I called shortly after posting and got great help from Jeff. He measured a belt for me right away and even sent an email with a picture for clarity. He also quoted me a price in USD and recommended ordering from the NYC store (vs. online ordering) to save on shipping. I called...

     Well, winter, which here is really just a sum total of the coldest days smattered across a few months. It was a gorgeous, breezy, clear-skyed and sunny 75 degrees today (the reason we all tolerate the long, humid summers), but still too warm to be comfortable outside in these. Haven't had...

    Thanks - I bought them knowing they may only see regular wear during a short time of the year but I really like heavier wools for their drape and texture vs. paper-thin tropical weight. I do go from A/C apt. to A/C car to A/C office and back the same way a lot of days so their warmth isn't...

    Recently bought a pair of brown tweed trousers: http://www.howardyount.com/products/herringbone-tweed-pants-brown They're a little outside my grey/blue comfort zone and I'm curious what shirt/shoes colors to wear with them. They do have appear to have some green flecks in them like a rich...
