  1. I have two pairs of joeys i outgrew and am interested in selling them

    if anyone wants to buy

    size 30 joey hi standards (black) - pretty worn, washed maybe three times, a lot of life left but color is a bit fades. I think they look better this way but you could have them redyed if you want to. 70 dollars?

    size 29 joey black colordrives - like new, wore them maybe 4 or 5 times when i first got them and then got sick of them so i havent worn them in about a year. theyre basically brand new, i think they still have the pick. 130 dollars?

    180 shipped for both?

    PM me if youre interested, ill make a thread with pictures and measurements if there is interest :)

  2. My friend got those Banana boots and returned them (cause of size) but they actually weren't terrible, especially if they're on sale.

    Apparently they're a rip off these (gasp) Ferragamo boots:

    But as far as acceptable options I have no suggestions, I'm actually in the market as well.

    I dont see how those BRs are a rip-off of the Ferragamos, the boots are fairly different besides the fact that theyre both black jodhpurs. Ive seen similar models from RL and other companies, but they were higher priced than those BRs

  3. I believe Winklepickers refer to a very elongated and pointed end on the last - in this case since there is no ornamentation on the shoes the difference between an oxford and a derby is whether or not the flaps that the shoelaces go through are sewn together. I was actually mistaken although I was looking for the right thing - these are Derbys because they are not sewn together at the bottom ("closed") unlike an Oxford which are "open".

    I thought bluchers are the ones with the flaps not sewn together and balmorals are with the flaps sewn down. right?

  4. I remember reading about this on some blog a few weeks ago. Made in PA by the same family since the 1970's. They make Thom Browne's shirts. All the usual stuff. Their main line(s) are more old man steez but what I read about their vintage line seemed promising. Using fabrics from old catalogs they would recreate older collections (ca. 1978-1980) but with modern cuts. I know Roden Gray stocks their basic blue and white oxfords, but besides there I don't really know of any other stockists? Anyone had any experience with these? The fabric looks pretty good and the collar has a nice roll to it. Priced at $178 CAD at RG, probably around $140-$150 in the us, it seems like a good deal. Anyways, here are some pics:
