I remember only seeing a single sf'er call macArthur uncle, so naturally I thought they were related.

It all makes sense. Thanks!

I need a dress belt (wearing with a suit) that matches whiskey shell and I only have tomorrow to find one. Can't order online. Any suggestions on where to find one/what to look for? I have a few malls and a bunch of other stores I can go to. I already tried 3 Brooks Brothers, including Madison Ave, and found nothing.

If you're in Manhattan try:

Citishoes on Park, they carry Trafalgar belts and you'll be able to find a tan belt that matches up nicely (at least in terms of color) with Whiskey shell; or

Alden NY on Madison - I was there today and they have some Alden Whiskey shell belts but they are in larger sizes.

Isn't there a Peal & Co. bridle leather belt at BB that comes in British tan? To me, that color looks reasonably similar to whiskey shell.

Just grabbed these from Stephen at Leffot...these with the few pre-orders I'm awaiting has to officially include me into some type of club that holds its meetings in church basements.

These were facebooked, he needs to take better pics for his blog. I'll try and snap some when they arrive tomorrow.

Not much going on in the shoemart irregulars this month...

at least in sz 7.5 & 8...

 

[CHRK33]

^ Agreed.

 

[mr chorizo]

for 11/11.5 there are bunch of cordovan boots though...the two that look appealing to me are the barrie last boot with indy boot apron stitching (blind eyelets all the way up) or the j.crew perf captoe boot on the barrie, both in #8.

thoughts?

Two pair of 975's in 10D (barrie) for anyone wating to jump in and save a couple hundo bucks.
