Trickers shoes are certainly well made, but I find their last shape and general design rather clumsy. I suppose that given the nature of the design, namely country style, that is the point, but I would rather have the Church Chetwynd for example. If any members are after a heavy duty country style s...

James, fair enough, as it is not my intention to belittle anyone's wardrobe, and I have myself owned quite a few Tyrwhitt shirts in the past. It is just that I have now tried many others, now being geographically in a position to do so, and I would not want to see anyone waste their, like mine, hard...

Can any members offer any advice or remarks re Charles Tyrwhitt's suitings? At 50% off via the special link they are at the...

Hello gentlemen, I am very pleased to be here. This is my first post, having read the topics with interest for quite some time. I think that the reason why cap toe oxfords appear so "popular" in evening wear is simply that most men own a pair, and not as a result of some conscious decision to favour...
