Thanks for your thoughts RTP. How do you typically wear them or dress in general?

For everyone else's reference, here's the post I was referring to and a sample of RTP's collection pics from it:

My first Whiskey shell... Wingtip Bal Oxford on Tremont! So very glad I sized down 0.5 (same as Barrie) -- the tremont feels narrower in the toe box than the barrie (not by much though), but is still pretty round and bulky like the LWB. Very happy!





Should I be concerned with the creasing so close to the base of the lasing? I feel like they fit well, but I've never seen any of my shells crease in this spot.

Very nice. Alden SF appears to have my size.

Quote: I wear suits about once a week, but mainly wear dress shirts and ties with grey wool slacks or chinos with blazers. Textbook dress seems to suggest I need some cap toe bals. I may be headed in that direction, but not for a while as this last purchase is one more than I had planned to start this year. Thanks for the interest and the promotion of my LW collection.

Where did you get these? Very, very cool. I agree with Uncle Mac. If they feel right don't worry about the creasing.
