Re: When bespoke works right
Try Ducker and Sons Si, seem to work for me, maybe go half a size up they not as amble as AS, but I prefer mine to my AS'. Every thing else I've tried on seem a bit too bulky or a bit too small. And I'm a 12/13 UK
I really like their shape too. http://www.duckerandson.co.uk/shoes.php
They obviously used the small sizes for the photos on the web page, which doesn't really do them justice. The larger sizes look more elegant.

Re: When bespoke works right
No more shoes for me, I'm saving for a pair from Fosters. But I am fighting the urge for these babies...

I fear its a fight I might lose though.

^^
yeah, they look great don't they, I really wouldn't mind a pair.
I've never seen a pair of EG's in the flesh, don't think theres a stockist in Oslo.

Re: When bespoke works right
Good Stuff Shoester, nice read. Love that suit on the right, lush. Like that style on the left too but theres a whole lot of "huffs & puffs" that need sorting out isn't there?
Regards the dart article. I guess you either like it or don't. I'd never seen it before Dan posted a pic up of one of his suits. Its really about the aesthetics isn't it? I have a grey suit with that trad dart and you can't really see it. The cloth has a small check in it which matches up. I like that type of dart myself, its a little different. I hoping my new suit by that tailor will show the dart better, its a solid navy blue. It doesn't look so good on the window pane, nor would I fancy on a stripe. I think the guy who posted the article has used a quality example of an English style against a not so good uncon style, using perhaps not the best pattern for that dart, to enhance his view. If you like one over the other (I like both) I see no reason to smash the other one to bits.

Re: When bespoke works right
I'm one of the people who actually likes Vox and his stuff for the most part (though not the silly worshipping over at the housewife's forum) and I also don't mind a jacket with the shirt shoulder treatment but I do think that this suit shows once again the stupidity of a totally unpadded shoulder. His trapezius makes him look like a wrestler in that jacket

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.
