NST vs. LWB (both #8 shoe versions) do you guys see one as more casual than the other? or one more dressy than the other?

...in perpetuity.

nephew,
there is action to limited the number of years that alimony can be received. there are states that have passed legislation that caps the number of years that alimony can be received

Don't be married 10 years or longer in California or else you could be paying alimony for the rest of your life.

Good to see the cobblestones again. Very nice Whiskey uncle. Unfortunately my order is still pending with Alden Madison until they receive their next shipment.

Some of you were lucky enough to purchase one of Horween's cordovan belts and I believe are quite pleased. I just picked up one of their peeble grain belts and it's a great jeans belt. I asked Nick about shoes in this leather, Ruffian a variation of Chromexcel with the same pebble grain as the leather they produce for NFL footballs, but I don't think it's in the cards.

Take a look see what you think: http://horween.bigcartel.com/product/dark-brown-pebble-grain-belt

You might want to have a look at the AE thread and do a search for "football nuemok" or "football patriot". Both have been done, the former via custom order, the latter as a stock option. Beautiful shoes.

US10.5 in Barrie/Trubalance and UK10 on 99 last for me.

My roommate literally just got his AS 99 shoes in this morning - he also wears Barrie lasted shoes (LWBs).

He's a US 7D in the Barrie and UK6.5 on the AS 99. He says the AS 99 is snugger all around but that's what he went with. The toebox is much slimmer on the AS 99 according to him.

Got it, seems like TTS or 1/2 up from Barrie. Thanks fellows.
