@Vanquish, what particular pair did you purchase? Would love a pair of HY's someday.

I got the USA made Super 110's light gray wool pant. http://www.howardyount.com/collectio...10s-light-gray

The main differences between USA and Italy are the fits/sizing. Italy is more of a slim fit.

I went on a very cheap shopping spree today... hit up Target, T.J. Maxx, Ross, and Goodwill.

$6 button-down in white with blue and grey windowpane from Target; $8 striped t-shirt from T.J.Maxx; and $35 olive and tan (Horween!) Sebago Docksides from Ross.

Nice haul on the shoes! Jealous!

Just picked up the Penfield Navy Gibson. This is the first time I have seen it on sale this season. They have it 20% off this weekend at endclothing.com Code is SPRING14. $127 shipped.

Still waiting on them to come in. I'll update once they get here. My thought was that for $16 shipped, it was a small-risk gamble

Just came in yesterday. $70 from MyHabit. Florsheim Veblens. I have the blue suede havilands. Personally, I think these are very nice longwings quality wise.

[MENTION=1998]MaxMan[/MENTION], what color did you go with? I've been debating replacing my brown Veblen's with a new pair of longwings. Trying to decide on either a new pair of Veblen's in wine, or a pair of MacNeils, after the 90 Day challenge of course.

[MENTION=6917]dackman[/MENTION], I got the rust color way. I really like the insoles comfort. The McNeil is a great shoe.

That walnut grain color of the mcneils looks amazing to me. Damn this 90 challenge...I like those guys you got from MyHabit, [MENTION=1998]MaxMan[/MENTION]. I have subscribed to a few of those flash sale sites but never made a purchase from them. How was your experience with MyHabit?

[dackman]

[MENTION=8564]zcm[/MENTION], I'm not really a fan of the pebbled grain look, I'd like something darker and smoother, plus I'm already good on a Walnut wingtip with my Players. I'm really digging those webgem MacNeil 5's, though I'm not a fan of the $315 price.

I have made purchases with a few of the flash sites as their deals are amazing. MyHabit so happens to be my favorite. It is a subsidiary of Amazon, Inc., so you are basically getting the same service you would get with amazon. Deleivery is very fast, in most cases, 2-3 days. I was supposed to get the Veblens today but they arrived on Saturday. I purchased the blue suede havilands from MyHabit and got it very fast and shoe is beautiful. I also purchased this other pair of cole Haans I believe, didn't like them and returned them, I explained the sizing issue I had with customer service and they accepted the return with them covering shipping. All in all, MyHabit is my goto flash site.

I like pebble grained long wings; something about them work for me. At first I didn't really like the football skin look, then bought a pair US made shoes by a defunct shoe company via thrift shopping. Those things changed my outlook. I like long wings in general; and wingtips are a favorite as well. Shortwings and long wings wear differently in my wardrobe, the AE players would get worn differently than the McNeils or any longwing.

Word of advice on these: Size down! My foot measures 11.25 inches. I wear a 10.

This came in the mail today - Seiko SNKL41.

It's really well made for the price, and I can't wait to get the bracelet resized so I can wear it.

JCF chino jacket and pants for 100 last night thanks to promo lap over. I guess this is a normal thing as I found this link after buying.
