Hey Mike - Just wondering if you guys are planning to make jeans again in the future (sorry if this was asked before)

Not at the moment, but who knows - anything can happen down the line.

Ordered the cxl brixton. Of course, I did it on Saturday night, which makes for the slowest delivery time possible, with no shipping out on Sunday or Monday. *sigh*

Thanks for picking them up - you're going to love those boots!

Mike/Matt, any plans to restock the camo shirt or was that batch all that is left of the fabric? Would have to go for the M if there won't be any more restocks.

Ah, unfortunately that was a one-shot run on this cloth. Sorry about that.

As promised. Darker than the Epaulet studio pics, but still with lots of contrast. Natural welt should really look nice with age.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Wow. Those look f-ing great. Thanks again and enjoy them!

I've been waiting to match my french blue rivet chinos with the Carmina Austerity Brogues, and today the weather finally nice enough to wear the Carminas. I've only got a couple of indoor pics though:

Beautiful, I love this combo!

Man, should have gone for the grey exford instead of the wine. Pairing gives me a headache.
What shirts and blazers are you guys wearing w the wine oxford?

Wine is almost as easy to match as grey. For solid shirts, look at whites, light blues, pale tan, and greys. Plenty of patterned shirts will also work as long as there's a white, cream, or white grey ground. Try wearing them with a gingham or tattersall shirt, it will look killer. It's great with polos and tees too.

Can anyone comment on how the Carmina Inca last is compared to the Barrie last? This is for someone who:
- the Barrie is a perfect fit width wise (9.5 D)
- takes a "e" on the Allen Edmonds "5" last
- cannot fit into a size 10D on the Leydon last (too narrow)
- cannot fit into any Clark desert boots (too narrow)
I want to pull the trigger on a pair of Double Monks but am scared they will be too narrow. Thoughts?

Hmmm. I'm thinking that it's 50-50 that a size 9UK Inca-last double monk would work for you.

The Inca last is a better and slightly larger fit than the Allen Edmonds 5 IMO. It's not so much that the Inca last is much wider, but it's more contoured and works for a larger variety of foot shapes.

Clarks Desert boots can sometimes be a wonky fit, so it's also possible that you could comfortably wear the Inca even if they don't work for you.

Finding the Leydon too narrow is a concern though. I'd say that the Leydon is pretty similar to the Inca in the front, although it's more generous in the heel. That said, you need to wear a double monk pretty fitted and you can expect them to break in a little bit. Try on a pair when you come by the shop this month and bring a slim pair of dress socks. They shouldn't be restrictive, but if they're a little tighter than usual than that's going to be OK after you break them in. With Double Monks, you can often tell if the fit is too narrow as you'll be straining the last loop of the top buckle to close them.

Asked this a while back Mike but you may have missed it - any plans for more knit sweaters soon?

 

[kgmessier]

Wow, those are freaking ace.

 

[edubs01]

Yo Mike-
Not sure if my previous 2 questions got missed but....

Are there any Purple pants on the horizon? Solids, Checks, erc....

What do you recommend wearing shirt-wise with the Royal Blue Twill Walts?

Thanks for the reply Mike. I guess my main concern is that you sellout in my size before I get there. Oh well, better to be safe then sorry.

I picked one up at the SF show. They are totally off the hook.

No more pre-made XS shirts. If you want them, you must send in your order to either mike, Matt (leftofthedial) or call in. If they have enough fabric, they'll do a shirt for you. It takes about four weeks. I've done two.

Mike told me the reason was that there wasn't enough demand for these shirts. Fortunately we can still get these shirts made to order, at the same price.

The face is as it should be while wearing those trousers. Great combination.

I have the saddle shell short wings and love them. I have been having recurring thoughts of the navy suede, also on the Forest last (good for me.) So far I have been strong, but I keep pulling up the web page. It might just be a matter of time before I capitulate.
