    the IH one and not because I'm biased, what I'm… but since I prefer the look of the IH one, the shape of the arms, the details on the IH one, over the Spiewak and the fact; that the Spiewak one looks fugly in the pics, what prob have a lot to do with the over the moon ugly Levi's the dude in the pic is wearing...

      well I actually like the collar and the actual fabric of the spiewak a lot more tbh., though the placement and form of the side pockets of the IH one, as well as the inner lining is "better" than on the spiewak…still need to see pics of the inner lining of the spiewak though!

      no big help I know -.-

        think the cut of the IH N1 is nicer, but if you looking to spend less that 25% off that spiewak would be the game changer.

          My buddy gets me 50% off.

          Also, I think the arms on the IH N1 might be too monstrous for me.

            sounds like your mind is made up. you tried on D666s IH N1?

            Hard to say no to 50% off an already well priced item, sh!t that's less than a brand new flannel from many brands.  . .

              I tried on Megas/d666 N1. It fits well minus the arms. I measured them and they were 29in, the newer N1's arms are almost an inch longer.

                if the cut of the IH does not work for you, forget it

                looked for a better pic of the Spiewak

                http://sivletto.com/system/search/product.asp?id=8051

                still think that the arm opening is too wide, but if the cut works for you and with the deal…

                otherwise, Buzz / Real McCoys, etc...

                  way better fit flick rock(it), the image earlier didn't do the item justice at all.

                    Spiewak is lined in sheep, isn't the old IH deck lined in acrylic or an acrylic blend fleece?

                    Think it, be it.

                      ^ correct. The new one is an Alpaca wool blend. Alpaca anything = epic shit, IMO.

                        Pike bros have just released a new black N1 which looks pretty tasty.

                          Japan Post EMS tracking is saying that an item cleared US Customs in Chicago (departure from inward office of exchange) on the 14th and there have been no updates since. Should I worry yet or contact the vendor?

                          Think it, be it.

                            I'd give it a few same thing hsppened with my Lofgrens. Chicago is a black hole where crazy things happen. I'm sure they will get to you soon… Or not . :-\

                                Thanks guys. I am uncharacteristically anxious about this piece because I fell in love with the first picture of a prototype of it and didn't think I'd be able to get it. I've been working afternoons at home in order to be there for its arrival. Hopefully it lands today, the day I will be at work all afternoon.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Does anyone have any experience wearing RM Williams boots together with a suit?  My old pair of business shoes is falling apart and I'd like to get something in black leather that:

                                  a)  Looks sharp with a suit
                                  b)  Is well made in a country with respect for labour rights
                                  c)  Will last the distance and
                                  d)  Is comfortable.

                                  Any thoughts/experiences/opinions greatly appreciated.

                                    At least 1/3 of guys wearing suits in Sydney are in RM Williams boots.

                                    They meet all your criteria AFAIK. I'm 2 years into my pair and can solidly confirm points c & d.

                                      Classic boots IMO.

                                        Ok, thanks gents.  I'll have to find a store and try on a few pairs.  I gather their sizing is a little odd so I'm very wary about buying online, despite obvious price advantages.
