Hey guys!
Just wanted to post some sizing advice.  If you want to go sockless, it is best to size down half from your true dress shoe size (just like you would with the Alden Barrie last).  If you plan on wearing normal/thickish tube socks and the like, go with your standard/true size.  Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks, George. Also emailing with Maggie.

We'll take care of you!  She left for the day already (4:30PM…lucky girl) - so if you're waiting on another email she'll get back to you in the AM....Alright, few more hours at the studio today - I'm working on so many new things - they're all a ways away from anything near done, but getting there 

[hectic]

no worries man, mostly I wanted your view on stretch? I wont gum up the thread, Maggie will forward my email to you if necessary.

9 left - 7 days left to order….........

Having chatted to osb I am looking to size down one - does this dovetail with other owners? ( just being paranoid )

[nameness]

Assume you're going sockless?  And this is down from your athletic shoe size?

[Giles]

I didn't in either of the pairs i have

[hectic]

No not sockless, but their measurements seem to be the same as my redwings…aarrrgghhh

[nameness]

Have you ever been sized on a Brannock device?  Best thing that's happened to me re: shoe ordering.

[Giles]

What size are you approx Hectic?

[Seul]

I think general consensus is to size down 1/2 hectic. But even after downsizing 1 on my navy blue Oxfords, they fit excellent…

[madmonday]

sasquatch size, hahahahahaha

couldn't help it.  US 13 if memory serves me correct

[hectic]

Im typically a UK12/US13. But the redwings run large as you know. Still: aaarrrggghhhhh

[madmonday]

just thought this might be hurtful & inconsiderate to a certain sasquatch. sooooo, if egos are bruised i'll take it down. . .

sasquatch size, hahahaahahahahahahahahaha

[Seul]

monday you're relentless… in making me smile!.. 

So: size 12 in RWs hectic?.. And those run big?.. Then I'd go with 12 in OSB...

[Giles]

Sorry, if you were close to me, I'd suggest you try mine on, but i'm a 10.  G

[hectic]

Thanks all. Sasquatch ponders his shoe future….

My advice again would be get George to make you a US12.5 or as Seul said go with a US12 if he won't. These things stretch a lot. Just my two pennies…
