Also another good one (albeit expensive) is www.bandjfabrics.com
they're also in the US, in NY. Not sure how expensive their international shipping is though.

For the European members on here, I'm trying to understand the customs/VAT/import fees that may be levied by France when you ship something from Switzerland (as they are not in the EU).
Are there any shipping companies that would allow for my friend to pay all import fees/customs fees that France would levy so that everything is paid up front upon dropoff at the company (FedEx/DHL or otherwise?) so that the package would just be delivered with nothing for the recipient to do?www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Haha thanks for the responses Arkady, PurpleJesuss, and ian+. I'm trying to understand tucks better so that I can incorporate them into my outfits without looking like a fool, but I'm pretty new to this.
ian+ could you elaborate more on the types of pants, boots, and outfits/silhouettes are usually improved by a tuck? I get that there's no golden rule of "when to tuck" and "when not to tuck", but as a newbie all I've got to work on are "rules" -- until I get more experience with it and can better understand what makes it look good and what doesn't make it look good.
PurpleJesuss, could you elaborate on why you think it worsens an outfit most of the time?
If you guys have any examples of fits that you like that incorporate a tuck, I'd love to see them as well

I believe boot tucks can look sloppy a lot of the time. If the pants aren't tight enough, you can get mushroom top scenarios where a bunch of the fabric just breaks the line of the silhouette. This can also happen more frequently if the boot has a really tight shaft.
I also think boot tucks can break proportions by creating the illusion of shorter legs. You're then left with a stumpy and unflattering figure.
Of course there are some boots that should almost always be tucked(anything that resembles laced combats imo), but i don't think this means you should disregard the pants you pair with them.
On the other hand, i personally don't enjoy tucking on boots that have an upturn (recent lasts from ma+,a1923 and to some extent ccp are things that come to mind).
For this interaction, i'd say pants are equally as important.No tuck for anything with wider leg opening/raw hems. Tuck for pants with more volume like inaisce nasreddins or old DD.
These are just examples and there's countless scenarios. I'd suggest just lurking the waywt for good and bad examples.
