I have nst's on the barrie, aberdeen, and plaza. Aberdeen is my least favorite for the nst.

Does the almond shape clash with the stitching design?

My mistake. I thought he was referring to those Epaulet cordovans boots which are from Carmina.

The BB cordovans for $1k are indeed C

Yep, I meant the BB boots. I notice that they're not on the site during their F&F 25% off sale. 

Funny. They had them on the site Friday morning but had already taken down the Aldens.
They took took the boots down that afternoon.

My cigar NST

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Very nice. I think I might like Aberdeen NSTs more than sevenfoldtieguy and others, though for some reason I think I prefer NSTs in #8 or ravello. To each his own.

Typically, Aberdeen-lasted NST shoes are the most available when compared to NST shoes on other lasts.

Check Alden SF and Shoemart for aberdeens (and a few on the barrie). Check Citishoes for barrie. JGilbert seems to consistently have at least some NST models on the Plaza.

I believe only Shoemart has the ravello NST right now (aberdeen).

HELP...

I am leaving for a Cruise in two weeks... I have some loafers and Moc for wear during the day... But at the capt Dinner I will be wearing a Navy Suit... Unfortunatley I do not have Cor Wingtips, Only Pebble Black, Tan, and Dr Brown Calf... I was thinking Dr Brown, since I am not a black fan.... But I wanted some opinions..

Either will look fine with a navy suit

I generally do not wear black shoes with navy suits, but I suppose it would work for an evening event. I like the dark brown shoes better.

Quick question regarding lacing, which one looks better here? Standard or bar lacing? Can't decide

I like the Plain toe a lot and I just got my Cigar Plain Toe Boots with Commando Sole just doing the break in right now.Pics will follow when I get a chance.

On another note which would you get a Ravello Longwing or a Ravello wingtip boots and why?
