Hello. I bought some days ago brand new shoes, black, full leather. I only wore them twice (just walking around the city, no rain) and today I noticed that the shoe tips are already white as if I used them for years. It is not stain but rather looks like the 'black' has worn off. Is it normal...

I'm having a bit of trouble finding a leather belt in the color of tan that I want. I've found close in stores, but not quite. Does anybody know of an online shop that will send samples to help me choose?

I'm curious how the vamp area should fit for Shell cordovan shoes. When you press down vamp area, should the leather touch immediately your top of foot? I really like the multiple large rumples/folds that appear on vamp area. But i don't get that. Mine is just flat. I'm wondering if that's...

[/URL][/IMG] Hi guys, I'm wondering if this can be fix. Perhaps fill it in with something? It's shell cordovan. Or should i just not care about it?

Was wondering if anyone had any experience regarding the creasing of wholecut oxfords. Does it become unsightly, would anyone not suggest spending 500 to 700 hundred on them if the creases decrease the beauty of the shoe. Does it depend on the quality of the leather? I would plan to wear them 2...

Hey there gents, I am looking for a nice pair of gloves for the winter but the deciding on color kind of keeps bugging me. What I have in mind for the first pair is; dark brown, cognac color or maybe like a medium brown. What do you think would be the most versitile? If you were to only wear...

assuming they're reasonable cared for: 1. brushed when dirty 2. conditioned when dry 3. worn every-other-day at max 4. shoe trees how long do you expect a well-made pair of shoes (recraftable so Goodyear welted or similar) to last you?

typically how much more durable is a leather shoe vs. a suede one?

Hi all! This is my first post here, but I've lurked a bit. My wardrobe was in a need of some class so I'm in the long process of rebuilding it from the ground up. That means I'm starting with shoes which is where it needed it the most. Here's me in some mostly new clothes so you can see the...

Anyone have any experience or opinions with the British Belt Company bags? Googling seems to show it might be a newer company made to look like it's been around for a bit. I picked up this football/pebble leather bag and am mulling over whether to keep it or not. Stitching, leather, and other...

I was interested in purchasing a used pair of AE Park Avenue oxfords on ebay, but the previous owner seems to have repaired out the soles and replaced the leather sole (which must have worn out) with a goodyear rubber sole (something a la ). Could I replace those with a leather sole; if so, how...

So I just made my first leather "smart casual" (somewhere between dress boot and chukka in formality) boot purchase . I am hoping to keep them looking good, but haven't the foggiest where to begin. I did some research and couldn't really find a "definitive guide." I have shoe trees to put in...

My current everyday shoes are about to die. I have only recently made any sort of attempt to be fashion conscious and have lurked here for a while, so bear with me. I am currently in graduate school, so there is no need for the shoe to be particularly formal. In fact, pretty much any kind of...

I'm wondering what kind of leather the Scotch-grain leather does Crockett and Jones use, is it calf or cowhide? For anyone that owns something in this leather, how do you condition/polish it?

I’m posting this in the Fashion Forum because that’s where most of my comments and posts seem to end up. As to why, I guess it’s prompted in part by the season; but here goes. Since I joined AAAC earlier this year, various members of this forum have expressed their appreciation for my...

Here's a link to an article in the current issue of Business Week about leather prices. The article focuses on calfskin (beloved of many AA form members) which has gone up in price 21% in the first half of this year alone. The article gives a very good overview of the factors involved...

I recently came into possession of a wonderful pair of vintage L.L. Bean deerskin gloves. While they are in quite good condition overall, there is some darkening around a few of the fingers and the palms and the leather is a bit rough and scraped in a couple of places. My question is what is the...
