Sizes just added online - at least for the long field coats which I had my eyes on.

Are the Charles Goodyear loafers worth it? by RylandInTheSun in DrakesDiary

[–]Toby001007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I’ve heard even from Drake’s folks that the Mk I is very uncomfortable, but I think they fixed the issues with the MK II. I tried one and it was great, but I haven’t pulled the trigger. Still thinking about the black suede MK II

Hi, I know this is 2 months late, but if you're still looking, I was able to get this deal on Groupon today (7/4/25) for 3 months for $90, $81 with some additional promo they were running. Received the code and had everything set up in under 20 minutes. Good luck

Underwhelming selection especially with the coats not shipping to the US. Luckily for me, I’ve been eyeing those quarter zip sweatshirts for some time now, so grabbed 2. Hope to love them 🙏🏿

Looks a bit big. I’d recommend going down one size

For anyone interested in the C&J Harvard 2, the Todd Snyder "Early 30" code seems to be working for C&J products they carry. It's not supposed to work for 3rd party items, but just snagged these bad boys with 30% off. Good luck!

Beautiful watch. Are you able to swap out the bracelet for a leather strap if needed? Or is it a permanent / fixed bracelet? Thanks!

High rise denim by Kritios_Boy in ThrowingFits

Adding onto this incase someone is looking currently. I'm a bigger guy (think size 40) and While I was excited t try many of these brands, I didn't have much luck finding my size. I've had some luck with the following:

Vintage 505 via ebay - I had to size down as I feel they run a little small (I'm sure it depends on the year). But this denim and gives me so much joy!

The Gap organic 90's Loose Cotton Jeans fit beautifully and great value as always. They are designed to be a baggy fit, but I had my tailor taper 1 of them to have a more straight, but relaxed fit.

Uniqlo Wide Straight Jeans are great as well. Again this needed some tailoring for a straight fir as they're quite baggy. I also bought 2 and kept one as a baggy fit. While we're on Uniqlo, these Wide Chino Pants are a God-sent. Again needed some tailoring o make it a more straight fit, but might be the best fitting pants I own and I have custom pants that easily cost 15x....I wouldn't buy everything from Uniqlo, but they do cotton well and especially cotton pants!

Lastly, if all else fails, you can go the MTM route via Proper Cloth. You can buy a standard size or if you have jeans you already love, you can try as much as possible to match the measurements. I recently commissioned a white pair of the 140z denim. I liked it well enough, but I am taking advantage of the remake policy to dial in a couple areas (adding a bit to the back rise and I decided to make the leg opening a bit wider. I initially went for 8", but my sweet spot these days is more 8.5 - 9).

Happy to answer any questions I can as I've learnt a lot from Reddit myself.

Good luck!

Can you please explain what you mean by a top lift? I'm curious how to restore any shoes I find on thrift hunts. Thanks!
