    Can you use Saphir Cream on a leather belt?

    I just noticed a few small scuffs on a leather belt I have from Gucci, would it be ok to use Saphir cream on the belt to fix them? It's Saphir Medaille d'Or Pommadier Cream specifically. I use it for my leather boots/shoes, but wasn't sure if it was ok to use on a leather belt. Anyone with any...

    Can anyone give some input on this? I have both a pair of YSL dress boots(Wyatt harness boots), and a Gucci boot with horsebit detail; and recently purchased a loafer from Gucci as well(Jordaan).

    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    I bought a pair of leather loafers today and need an opinion on the fit. I wear a size 9 1/2, but have uneven feet(right foot is slightly bigger than the left), which I have to take into account when sizing for shoes.

    Dyeing a pair of pants jet black?

    I have a pair of pants(denim blue jeans) that are an off grey/black color, how hard would it be to dye it pure jet black? I worry about the dye bleeding off and getting on my legs or something, would that be a problem I should worry about? How do I go about dyeing them to a pure black? Any tips?

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    I was interested in this new pair of boots from YSL, however the one concern I have is that they are made from lambskin leather. I have a pair of boots from them already(the Wyatt) which are made from calfskin. So far they have held up well, and I have seen posts and videos from people who own...

    Can a defect like this be removed from fabric?

    I just checked a garment of mine I purchased very recently and noticed these two spots on either side of the colored "stripe" in the middle, I circled them in red to make it easier to see so you can know what I am referring to. It's the same color as said stripe, so I assume it must be some...

    A cheaper alternative to these leather pants?

    I saw this really nice pair of leather pants at MONFRÈRE for about $1,200: I was curious, does anyone know anywhere else that has leather pants in that same kind of style, preferably at a lower price? I've seen some people saying anything much less than a grand for leather pants in that style...

    I got this pair of jeans professionally hemmed by a tailor, and I was wondering if they look too short to be boot cut jeans or are they the right length? I had my friend take photos for me, it wasn't easy but here they are so you can see:

    Opinion and any styling advice for these zip boots?

    I just got a pair of the Elias Zip Boots from Jimmy Choo, and was testing them out a little to get an idea on how to style them. Excuse the poor lighting and such, I just tried them on with a few pairs of pants just as a quick test real fast. I remember asking before about these shoes here...

    I was looking around and saw this pair of boots in their online store, and thought they may make for a nice purchase.

    Will going down a size for these Gaspar Gloves help the finger problem?

    I just got my pair of "The Drive" gloves from Gaspar Gloves, but I noticed an issue with the gloves not fitting right, with the fingers/thumb being too long with excess space in the tips.

    Long trenchcoats that aren't overly expensive?

    I was looking around and trying to find a nice, really long trenchcoat(like the ankle length kind or maybe just below knee length can be fine too), but have been having trouble. I'll see really nice ones from designers like YSL orDOLCE&GABBANA but they'll be really expensive and easily cost...

    I was interested in a pair of YSL Otto boots, which are tall boots for men: I was curious of an outside opinion on this style of boot. Is it generally read/seen as feminine for men to wear boots this height? By that I mean with them actually showing fully like in these photos, or are you...
