  1. @Double 0 Soul , as a non English person I thought the Duke of Edinburgh’s a person/title.
  2. Then that’s a no for brogues for sure. I completely agree that there’s no need to spend as much if you’re not wearing them. I personally love MOTOs shoe offerings, and would’ve ordered a pair myself long ago if they had wide sizes. there’s also the option of the recently discovered KOTOKA brand, which can be ordered via fromjapan. Maybe check out Brother Bridge as well. For what it’s worth I probably live in the most informally dressed country in the world, where people that wear suits are either lawyers or grooms, so hopefully my recommendations suit the occasion.
  3. Are brogues an option? I have a pair of Cheaney’s that I bought for a wedding but never wear suit and they work with a lot of other stuff. Btw im width size EE (sometimes even EEE) and their G width fits me quite good https://www.cheaney.co.uk/arthur-iii-oxford-brogue-in-dark-leaf-calf-leather-p5
  4. What counts as wide for you? from what I see, Oni might have some offerings for you. But I can’t say how they fit as I never wear anything more than 15 oz
  5. Jeans and boots look like they aged beautifully. Do share pictures when you get the time
  6. Their website usually does not reflect stock. Try emailing or sending an Instagram DM.
  7. It’s time for a new pair of 5 pocket indigo jeans (been around 4 years since the last pair I bought) and I’ve never had a leepro. Who makes a good, relatively wide, reproduction of Lee?
  8. I wish I got a chore coat from Pointer before they became LC king. I love that label.
  9. Update about the Kotoka derby shoes to whoever cares - after some correspondence with them via fromjapan, the insole length of size 28 is 29 cm, width is about 10 cm. Alas, they are cemented and not welted or blake stitched, which I think is a no go for me. Bummer.
  10. Seconds hand ones can still be found on yahoo auctions every now and again
  11. If it’s available on the Cushman website (blue cylinder I think), usually you can ask Celluloid to order it via their store. Worth a try.
  12. There are several Japanese iterations of these this year https://mcfly-store.com/collections/tokyo-sandal/products/tokyo-sandal-for-mcfly-heel-hold-slip-on-ts-b02-forest-green-2019-model?variant=32091603796053 https://www.motostyle.jp/products/仮-2152-black-cross-hatch-cordovan-oxford-shoes-クロスハッチコードバンオックスフォードシューズ-コピー and there are probably more that I forgot about
  13. @Double 0 Soul oh gotcha. I think that’s part of the appeal for me. Sort of slicker half boot in a way. anyways, still no reply.
  14. I find the Ashinary derbys quite balanced. I like the look and the aging. However, I tried contacting them via emails but no reply so far. Can’t place an order to outside of Japan it would seem. I’d also like to be more sure about the size, since 10 is at risk to be too small for me, but I’ll settle for any other reply from them as well. That sock thing is weird! I didn’t give much attention to the Ichimaigawa model so I missed it
  15. Did you ever end up contacting them? I’m contaminating whether size 10 will work or not for me.
  16. I think it’s probably the later. Seems like it anyways.
  17. That’s awesome, do share it if you feel like. thank you. She is mostly breastfed, so I do get a decent 5 hour sleep usually, not taking extreme nights into account.
  18. Chore coats have always been my most practical choice. TCB/ motor / Jim green
  19. @Cold Summer I’ve only been in this “scene” for about a decade, but from what I read it’s seems like the Japanese have been doing the wwii reproduction and Americana reproductions for more than 4 decades now. While progress might happen, I still think the usual suspects of the repro world are going to be iterated to eternity (at least, relative to a persons lifetime) for the sake of tradition.
  20. Not participating this time but it sure is fun to see everybody’s excitement. Looking forward to see your progress and updates.
  21. https://bedrocksandals.com/collections/bedrock-mountain-clogs/products/mountain-clog-leather It was only when you replied that I realized it wasn’t you in the picture.
