I saw a portofino voyage at Anna for half the price of old cobbler. Do you think it's worth to take the plunge?

Old Cobbler gets rave reviews for their quality of product. Guess it just depends whether you want to take a punt for something cheaper...

I received a pair of these TOD'S today
Now compared to the ones I received about a month ago the visual difference is huge, the insole has no tods brand, the small T on the upper lip is not well defined; the knotted string is all slanted;the thing done very well is the sole which is really ok (with logo).
Now my advise is: if you want to keep the shoes for yourself and you are not that particular then the 2 has no difference in terms of leather/comfort and you can save considerably...if you intend to 'give away', well think like this: i made a small profit selling off the more accurate ones..whereas the $33 model I doubt can fetch any extra dollar
Also received this KT Shield Tee and I can say it is BY FAR the best cotton tee I got off AE. BY FAR.

I'll try asking for more pictures and to see if she can do it via AliE. Lets see if it really differs from the old cobbler quality.
Nice finding
Any comments regarding the sizing of the shoes?
I'll probably hit the "good" ones
Thanks

Just put a monster of an order in.
Will do a master review of my last 12 or so orders when everything comes in.

Probably will seem weird since converse are cheap but are there any chuck taylor hi-tops I can get for cheap? Preferably "sterile" because I want to use them to practice making custom shoes but I can't figure out what to search for.
I know Old Cobbler has stated 17.feb. Though I'm not sure if that applies to everyone.

For the good ones one size larger than your size. For the cheap ones follow the cm chart on the description. My feet are ~28cm so I had to get their 12

Mont Blanc & Bottega Veneta
We all like pictures of received goods so here's the card holder and pens I received this week.
Both packages arrived in about 2 weeks and were well packaged. The card holder box was placed inside another sturdy cardboard box, so no dents to the boxes which is important if you plan on gifting stuff.
Mont Blanc Starwalker rollerball & ballpoint pen with case. ($10.20)
This a a real bargain at 10 bucks! Solid pens with good construction and weight. Feels like the real deal. Both can take original refills. 5/5
Bottega Veneta card holder with case. ($15.25)
Haven't seen the original so can't really compare. Looks good enough. Lots of colour options available, this is the two tone brown version. Bit chemically smelling and plasticky interior lining. Time will tell how it holds up to use. 4/5

I just got my yeezy's from Jessie, and had the same issue, I actually wear US 12's and I ordered US11.5 from Jessie, and they're slightly too big, i'm going to sell them and order some US10.5 if he has them. The oxford Tan is just SOOO sick though!
