FWIW, they used to be for sale at a number of US stores for under $700 about 7 years ago, and they made a big push into bespoke and semi-bespoke around then. I'm pretty sure they stole away someone from Cleverley around then who has since moved on to start his own, well regarded bespoke shop.

Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
"How do you find the Tods driving shoes? I’ve been thinking
about getting a pair for a while." The attention to detail in the shoe is the reason I purchased the shoe. As I age and each day passes and the dream of being a racecar driver fades, Tod's takes me back to my childhood. The shoe is delicate, I would not wear these shoes for any significant walk, whether it be around the mall or through the streets of New York. I've owned my pair for one year, with minimal wear, they are holding wear but the nubs will require replacement. Upon doing so, I'll pimp the shoes with an out-sole, my desire is a pastel blue or green, this is subject to change. This is where Tod'shines, I don't know of other shoe companies that hand make driving shoes. You won't be disappointed, be prepared to wear them infrequently is all!

Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
a few theory things, a pair of generra pants that i bought for 180 that are selling for 90, a pair of mark nason sandals that i bought for 250 that are now 160...nothing crazy, just in general all the prices are low, if I knew things fit me perfectly I'd be ordering a lot more from them, I've had to make a few returns, they were pretty easy to deal with tho...

[/ QUOTE ] Do you have any idea where you can find them in the US these days? I was in London last year and looked at them but never tried them on since I had no intention of buying. I regret that now because I would consider buying a pair in the future and I'd like to find out how they fit.

Re: Fall Fashions (and good deals on fashions!)
I have the unique problem of being 6'7'', 235 lbs and never having a single pair of pants fit me without tailoring. Most of my suits fit very well after tailoring especially with an athletic look, but it costs so much that I'm trying to find a site that custom cuts ahead of time. One tall-man site suggested http://www.makeyourownjeans.com/. I checked it out and the jeans look decent, and they also have some decent looking blazers/suits that I'd consider buying. The prices are really good too. Can someone who's used this review for me, or just take a look and let me know if its worthwhile to try a sample shirt or two?

Double up on the socks? I really don't think there is any other option here, unless there is a way of shrinking the leather.
