I found two that I believe that I like. Would either of these be more suitable towards wearing on the weekend with some denim? I'm assuming the wingtips are more informal and better suited for wearing out on the town, but I just wanted to double check.

I've found Loakes to be hit or miss. I'd go for C&J or AS.

How is the quality of Charles Tyrwhitts sport coats? Worth the relative low price?

I just got a pair of C&J westbournes. They seem to fit well, but unlike my Allen Edmonds they've been tearing up my heels. It seems like this is just because they're new and still a bit stiff, but is there anything I should do to mitigate the blistering while I break them in?
Here's the stylish step taken by one SF member: http://lacasuarina.tumblr.com/image/29123894407. Now good luck findng something so stylish.

Maybe this is them...http://www.smilemakers.com/shop-by-...chool-health/bandages/all-banages/BAN124.html

Those are all from the 1880 range which are their top line, and in my experience, very good quality for that price range. Once you get into their other lower ranges, you may well be taking more of a chance.

What are some good leather shoes for a student at senior year of high school? I am going to use the shoes at school.

This is a weird question, pardon my ignorance. I just had my first bespoke suit made and I choose a different option other than belt loops for my trousers. I cannot for the life of me remember the name.

My question is what are alternatives for belt loops. I know tabs, but that wasn't the name. Anyone else know any other kinds? It's really bugging me and my tailor isn't open until Tuesday.

Thanks!

Side tabs? Braces buttons? Back tab belt?

Really? I actually like it, but some her at SF said it would look too formal. I would consider buying some longwings or wingtips in suede, but I don't want to look like a douchebag.
