Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Mostly just the branding, but they have a different poron insole on Brooks model, and some Brooks models have the combination rubber sole on top of the leather sole

I thought just branding and the insole did look a little different.

Thanks again for mentioning this. I missed out the first time glad I could get something this time. Saved $593 from retail price. Simply can't beat that.

I'm still SMH for buying Walnut Strands for retail before I knew about this thread. Could've got them so much cheaper. Feel like they are always on sale.

If anyone knows good shoe tree sales going on now please LMK. I need to order two of them for these new shoes. Thanks.

Edit: This dude Nate on the phone was pretty hasty. He messed up my order the first time he read it back. Then said he had to check on one pair because it was in store. He said he'd call me back and let me know. I emailed to confirm order...no response. Whole transaction went so fast. I feel like I'm not gonna get order confirmation, or shipping confirmation, and they're just gonna show up one day

How long does it typically take to arrive from the time you place order? Aside from ReturnBama who's been great, customer service gets a 4/10 from me so far

Sorry about the service man, you will not always get confirmation or shipping, but should have the shoes by Tuesday or Wednesday I would say
 
SS is great but if you need alterations (you will) you'll run over budget. Taxes in NY alone will put you over $500.

Perhaps wait a bit until jcrew factory hits a sale then buy from them for around $200 and put the excess funds towards altering.
 
Bama, I have some sizing questions regarding the 5 last. Let me know when you have a minute, or we can discuss over PMs so as not to clutter up the board. thanks
 
Allen Edmonds 2 for $250 sale on closeouts starts today through the 22nd. Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren models are included. Call the shoe bank or an outlet to check inventory and order. Sizes are limited.

Mind linking to the models?

This was the list I was given. This was for 7.5 D though. If you call them up you can give them your size and email and ask them to send a list for you. Or you can check some of the shoes out on the list below and then call and inquire about sizing.

How to Transform a Three-Piece into a Triple Threat, Starring Idris Elba

The Convertible of Suits
The three-piece is back, in part because it can go from formal to laid-back as fast as you can swap the pants for jeans.
583861


Aggressive Business Tactics
To dial up the ballsiness of a three-piece, get a pinstripe power suit. Then add all the sleek trimmings: A striped semispread-collar shirt. A narrow repp tie. A tipped pocket square.
583862


Channel Your Inner Stringer Bell
Daring. Poise. Assurance. Something about a three-piece—it must be buttoning into that vest—has a way of making a man feel bulletproof.
583863


A Look for the Look-at-Me Era of Menswear
The suit of the season is the bold, assertive Prince of Wales. You can wear it with a shirt and tie, sure. But to really announce yourself, go for a turtleneck. (Note: People will comment.)

i could definitely get down with some neumoras.....must resist!
Yeah I was torn between monk straps and loafers since I don't have either right now. Figured loafers would be better since I'm just starting to expand my dress footwear. I'll wait a little before the monk straps.
