Just copped a pair of lwb cord at Jcrew. I'm guessing they are Barrie. I'm 7.5d in Indy trubalance. Guessing I should be good on 7.5 for the shell? I heard she'll doesn't stretch at all

Jebus, those are beautiful

ordered this morning, but I'm assuming it might take a bit for them to get out considering the circumstances in the northeast.

Please post pics when they arrive/have some wear on them. I've been considering the same pair myself.

Generally speaking, shell doesn't stretch too much.  But she'll stretch quite a bit, depending how big you are.  rotflmao.gif

It works on the shell lwb like others have said. Type it in.

Tax negates a ton of the savings though, and crepe sole is a deal breaker.

Agreed.

If you are going with just one PTB, definitely go darker.

(RL Darlton wingtips, Alden x J.Crew chukkas).  Pretty happy with the fit 'N finish of both.  

 

More pics of the Aldens (since this is the Alden thread, see the RL thread for more shots of those):

Don't really like #8, had two different pairs of #8 LWBs that I sold via eBay
