bentin, what guard do you normally use for the beard? I've got Wahl clippers as well and have been wanting to scale the beard back but have been a little hesitant to go that route.

I grabbed a D ring in natural from this guy in 1 1/2". I kinda wish now I had bought a 1 1/4" but it should be fine. The stock I received was a bit dry so I slathered it up with some Bick4 and it worked like a charm. I have an RRL that I really like but it's an O ring. I do like the infinite adjust ability of this style belt. www.custom-leather-belts.com/ring-belt.html |

Cool, man. Never seen that style before. Its fun to see new to me stuff, so much monotony--that I am guilty of supporting too--that its nice to taste fresh blood every now and again. Coked out Rockstar meets Rugged Ranch wear!!!  |

Since RB is the only place that seems to sell the largest of IH sizes in Japan, and time running out on their ability to sell to the US, I ordered up a 13-blk, and thermal henley, since I've had them on my radar, and didn't want to wait as I figured they will get picked clean before next month. My IH purchases will be few and far between from now on.

Coked out Rockstar meets Rugged Ranch wear!!! Yeah, I think it's pretty cool and very functional for a winter casual jacket. Monitaly is the same guy that makes Yuketen. I'm fed up with MiC generic coats and have fit issues being tall. I've been going crazy looking for something in wool. This works as having interesting details, but not being too far off the spectrum to not be usable. So now I'm getting hooked on MTO's....and also still need some formal coats. NMWA has this one going as well, but too small for me. www.nomanwalksalone.com/index.php/pre-order-double-breasted-great-coat-reissue-in-plush-wool-50-deposit-balance.html |

I like NMWA's approach.
And I think your are right that MTO is more and more appealing, as we learn exactly what we want and what we don't enjoy, in any given product category.
Flipping style snobs, lol

Thanks to toolonginexile for these awesome trickers. Never thought I'd be into brogue wingtips but when I tried these on in person they just work. I think the color and commando sole help causual them out?!! |

For some reason I'd just assumed those were Scotch grain. I'd have probably bought them if I'd known they were smooth. Looking good.

Thanks bentin It's fun to feel the differences between Vibergs, Wescos, Rancourts, and Tricker's. Each has their own approach and in a few years I'll likely have a favorite, but untill then im enjoying the full cornucopia... |

In case you want anymore....but you need to create an account to view. Trickers took down their Ebay store so now you have to go here, or deal with communicating with the B&M in Northhampton. Figuring out the lasts is for them is a pita as well. I think those are 4497s you bought? www.trickersoutlet.com/I have been wanting a pair in cispresso for years. Love that color (dark green almost black shell cordovan). As to your collection, I have Trickers, Whites, and Nicks so far and I have been trying to wear them and not end up owning a ton of pairs I don't wear. Enjoy your new boots. |

Hey northcoast on that Tricker's Outlet website do you know if they take out the 20% VAT? In there policy section it reads something like: "we refund VAT were appropriate 4 or 5 days later" Just didn't know if you had any first second or Redditt hand experience with that? |

Not to generalize, but everyone but one vendor refunds VAT. So says the international finance guy slightly familiar with this sort of thing. |

Those prices minus 17% are insane (throws pie in wife's face)
Even after the $35ish for shipping.
And way to get the jab in at the MAN! Lol
