Wow, someone real CLASSY messed with the sheet.
It's **** like that that makes me a staunch believer in forced sterilization.

There are some little boys in the S&D forum. Not to worry. I went through the revision history and reset it to how it was earlier today. I've also locked it so people with a Gmail account can view and edit it by invitation only. If you're already on the list and have a Gmail account, let me know and I'll send you an invitation. For those of you who do not, PM me and I'll make the changes for you. - K

So...

Five eyelet perforated straight tip balmoral shoe:
Ravello shell, Plaza last, blind eyelets, Antiqued edging, 270 degree flat welt, Leather sole or Flexwelt, or double waterlock

I'd be interested in MTO06 Cigar cap toe boot with commando sole Grant last. I'll be checking for updates.

I agree with everything you put, except for the sole, I would prefer the standard leather sole to the flex welt/oiled leather sole. I could either do a thick single leather sole or a double leather sole on this one. Too bad Alden doesn't do a bevelled waist on any of their soles.

Yeah regular leather sole would be good. Are standard Alden leather soles double or single?

Double is more common, but they'll do single as well.

It depends on the style. For example, double is more common on bluchers and boots, single is more common on balmorals (like the make-up we are talking about).

Those Ravello things look sweet... But I don't know **** about all the options you guys are talking about. Could someone enlighten me? Can also shoot me a PM if that's easier.
