Get a deer bone and rub it around the scratch. You can buy them from the Hanger Project.

resposting this hoping for a response! thanks!

I'm assuming the JCrew PCT you are referring to is on the Barrie last and therefore it is a little strange that this is tight on you but 8.5 Trubalance fits. I'd say most people take the same size in Barrie and Trubalance.

Anyone tried this natural cxl belt from Rancourt?

Or know of other places that sell natty cxl belts?

^^ I have one and highly recommend it. A little wider than a dress belt but works equally well with jeans or dress pants ^^

Epaulet NY sells them -- it's one of my favorite belts:

Unfortunately they're out of stock until this fall.

Sorry for a sizing question, but for a Grant last boot, do most do Barrie + 1/2? Specifically, I'm an 11 D Barrie, so would most advise 11.5 D Grant? I specified a Grant last boot because sometimes people say boots fit different from shoes.

Darn, i really like the Epaulet one. The stitching on the rancourt is a little too dressy for my taste.

I go True to Size on both Grant and Barrie but if anything, you would go down in the Barrie as is a wider toe box than the Grant. I have booths in both lasts and they are the same size.

I bought these 990's about a month ago and a dark spot has developed on one...no idea what is causing it or what I should do about it. I haven't done anything to them but brush them after wearing. Any idea what this is, or what I should do about it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, does anyone know where I can find a pair of Alden Boots in Black like Leather Soul Jumper Boots ? Preferably Calf but possibly any black. Thanks

Interesting, TTS on Barrie?

If it helps, I think my true size is 11.5 D (haven't been sized on a Brannock in a while), and I'm an 11.5 D on the AE 5 last.
