    In my opinion, some shoes/boots look better worn in, others don't. Chromexcel looks better with some wear. So does #8 as it fades. But my black captoes look best in pristine condition. Cigar Indy today:

    I had a couple of MTM shirts made and the fabric pulls around the collar/upper chest. What adjustments should I make to avoid this in the future? If I pull the front of the shirt down it 's less noticeable, but I want it gone altogether.

     For what it's worth I think you did a great job on the Hallecks - I love the light antique edge and the lack of speed hooks. The boot looks almost cigar in the pics though.

     I don't lace them that tightly, and even if I did these should be able to withstand tight lacing. I can see this type of thing happening after lots of wear, but not after the first time out of the box. I'm sending them to Alden for repair, and I like your idea of replacing the speed hooks...

    Just got a pair of Ravello shell boots and a couple of the speed hooks are loose after one wear. Is this normal?
