Serious though - does anyone here have a particularly pimpin' keyring?

Mine's not a keyring, as such - I got one of these from Malford of London before they sold out and it is great (although doesn't fit a modern car key, admittedly, so is only used for house keys):

You could still score one of these:

And if you want to feel like Bulldog Drummond, you could always pick up one of these (although they cost a pretty penny):

Thanks Journeyman, and Quarks too, for your replies.

I'm looking at a pair of Santonis from shopthefinest.com. My existing pair of Santonis are Santoni size 9.5 (= EU 43.5). I usually take a 44. This pair were tight for a while but now fit comfortably. Journeyman, what has been your experience with Santoni's sizing? The reason I'm asking is that the pair I am looking at are also a 9.5, there is no stock in 10 (= EU 44).

Just be careful with sizing as the Italian sizing is +1.5 eg 9.5Santoni Italy = 11US

Yes, Santoni's sizing can be confusing.

I've got a pair from Santoni's Goodyear-welted "Classico" range, and had another pair from the same range, and I took my usual size in those shoes.

However, the sizing on the various Fatte a Mano (FAM) models seems to be quite unpredictable. My double monks are an 8, I think, whereas I normally take a UK 9/US 10. They're a little bit narrower than I'd like, but the length is spot on.

I'd be surprised to see that slide eventuate. This obviously isn't advice tho.

Problem is that VIsa, MC never pay the going rate of exchange they pay less by a couple of cents on the dollar. :fu:

Re chinos: I quite like Herringbones 'Jet' chino if you can get them on sale: on the skinny side (low rise also) but the 2% nylon has just enough give.

Don't pay full price, but nice at 50% off.

I believe they use the same manufacturer as Howard Yount, FWIW.
