I probably use my color 8 and cigar the most because I baby my ravello 

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:

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.

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.

nephew,
wear in good health
do not worry about the creases

Thanks Uncle.  New territory for me... first non-Barrie Alden.  Liking the tremont.

Thanks MrDV.  @Burton - Just arrived today from Alden DC.  I think they have a pretty good number of them in stock.  thanks for the feedback!

Very Nice Whiskey WT's 

MrDV, thank you.

Check out theshoemart website. They have everything listed this evening including all the seconds listings. Definitely a few gems for those with smaller and larger feet and odd sizes in general. I only wish the color #4 ptb with dover pattern was my size.....sigh! I can't find anything that works for me but i figured maybe someone can snag something cool.
Don't wait by morning the website will be back to normal.

am I missing something? I cannot seem to locate the seconds listings..

got a link?

Thanks Alcibiades. 

I think I owe either you or REguy a big thank you for sizing advice for the tremont last (size down .5 like the barrie).  I can't remember who urged me to do so, but it was one of you guys.  I know there are mixed reviews about this sizing, but TTS wouldn't even be close to working for me.  Much thanks to either or both of you!
