croatoan, how accurate is the color representation in your photo? i'm assuming it's the gray suit you bought.

I think it is darker than the picture suggests. It really depends on the lighting.

i'm glad you posted a picture of this jacket because a funny thing happened today.

I had a customer wearing this jacket today, somewhat surprising for vancouver, but what was even more surprising was what else he was wearing which included an Ed Hardy "Soul Hunter" t-shirt, some raw looking LV jeans, and some low profile black patent sneakers with "Louis Vitton" written on the side in gold. It was quite a sight.

Not purchase post, but I thought you guys might appreciate this.

what's the general consensus on shoe trees and guidis? I was considering getting some spring type shoe trees rather than the usual lever style stretcher shoe trees but not sure if they're necessary at all.

badass, where'd you snag em?

Marco from PNP emailed me last week out of the blue to let me know he just got them in, insta-copped. the baby calf leather is so incredibly buttery soft, couldn't be happier with them.

Great purchase, dji.
I don't think there is a general consensus on shoe trees for guidis. Some like the look of creases, some don't. Of course I prefer the look of worn boots, but as I do not want to let them age so quickly I use shoe trees for the front of the shoe to prevent them from creasing too much too soon. The backzips have no real heel cap so that I try to avoid putting pressure on the back of the boots. Once I used shoe trees in a normal way I had the impression that the back of the shoe was a little wider than before.
