That's the question. I have never seen them in person and don't know if I will like them, or even if they will fit correctly. I ordered a half size down, but maybe I should have done a full size down.

If they fit like other 1K boots, I think you'll be good with 1/2 size down. Whats the harm in staying on the "waitlist"? I assume you can still return them if you're unsatisfied or they don't fit, right?

Yeah, I guess I could still return them, but I was just having second thoughts on the style and wondering if any one else liked them.

I think they're good looking boots. I suggest getting them (since they're a good deal) and seeing if the style works with your wardrobe and your personal style. If you get them and don't see much use in your wardrobe then return them - no harm no foul.

Brooks Brothers has a sale (spend $100 or 10%, $200 for 20%, $300 for 30%) making the suits that are already on sale very attractive.
Someone talk me out of making a poor life decision, this Black Fleece comes out to $516:

Sorry, but if you can get a good fit, that's a great deal on a great quality suit!

Who makes that? Not Thom Browne.

I'm not sure who is currently designing the BBBF line, I think it is still Browne, but their Made in USA suits are likely made at their factory in Haverhill, MA (Southwick, now owned by BB):

Have you ever handled Black Fleece suits? Is this lapel considered standard? (Looks to be okay in the picture, but does not look as full as your Maco) Not sure how to feel about the Three-button roll. My heart is telling me yes, but my mind is saying no to spending $500 for a first suit.

Thank you. I like the lapel proportions better on the one you linked than in the last couple years. Now I want one.
