Quick PSA - I found four pairs of Carmina's in our stock room. All of them are from 2013 or earlier.

If you take a US8, 11, 12, or 13, then there's something for you. Check out the link

I can wholeheartedly recommend that austerity brogue but will warn that the Simpsom last is narrow. I normally wear a 7UK in Carmina shoes but my simpsom-last austerity brogues are a 7.5UK. Carmina themselves recommend people go a half size up on that last.

Too bad none of those shoes look like they'll work for a 9EEE. Really like some of those shoes.

That said, my wallet and bank account are glad for this. :D

Alright, this is not funny. Who got that vest!? If it doesn't work, I'll take it.

+1. I think of all the money my EEE feet have saved me. Then I think of all the pain they've caused me.

PS Can you find a wide fitting pair of sports trainers in the back for us? Pretty please?

One more quick question. On the buffalo solider, I'm trying to decide if I want triple patch pockets or if I want welt breast and open patch hip pockets. Suggestions?

I vote welt breast and open patch hip. The open patch breast is going to look pretty busy with that bold patten. I'll typically advise guys to just get 3-patches on solids.

So...for Hardy Minnis Super 150s and REDA Charcoal Fresco suits what would be some good configs Mike@Epaulet? My last question for EFF baller suits :)

Alright, I made three purchases for the EFF promotion.

150's Mason Light Grey
Full suit complete with ticket pocket and working cuffs

Buffalo Soldier
Sport coat
Welt breast / open patch hip pockets
unstructured shoulder
partial lining

Large Grey Check
Sport Coat
Welt breast/open patch hip pockets
Natural Shoulder
Partial Lining
Working Cuffs

Super excited to get them made.

Also, Mike what happened to the cream dot lining. It's pictured but wasn't available in the dropdown menu. I just went with blue strip on the buffalo soldier fabric.

Thinking of making a midnight navy BlazerSuit: two-button, unstructured shoulder, patch + welt pockets, smoke MOP buttons. Anyone do something similar (for this EFF or another)?

That sounds great. I did something similar for the medium grey open fresco.

I'd also consider contrasting buttons. White MOP or blonde horn might be too much, but maybe tan horn? I did an unstructured dark navy fresco suit from the last EFF with blonde horn buttons, though I did flap pockets that time.
