@ROman - that's a difficult one, I love both countries.
Both have great food, wines, beautiful countryside, amazing history and a wealth of famous and fabulous architecture - it's a tough choice!
That would be a great time of year to explore Andalucia in southern Spain, visiting the towns of Granada (Alhambra Palace), Cordoba and Seville - some fantastic history and architecture, plenty of coastline plus mountainous areas, I would think that time of year will be cool but hopefully with lots of sunshine.
But it would also be a great time to visit some of Italy's most popular areas that are just too busy during the summer months - doing 2-3 days in Tuscany (Pisa, Florence, Siena) and then I would thoroughly recommend moving on to Umbria (Assisi, Orvieto) which is lovely but slightly less touristy and there are so many beautiful medieval hilltop towns. We based ourselves in a very nice hotel in Todi when we visited, but that was probably 15 years ago (I'd love to go back!)
You really are spoilt for choice - there are many other lovely areas to visit in both countries, I guess it depends what sort of holiday you want, how much sightseeing and driving you plan to do. You might have to flip a coin!
I can't claim to know either country extensively, but these are both trips we've done and loved. When you come to some decisions, if you need any help planning your itinerary, do let me know - I love doing stuff like that!

Thank you so much @Madame Buttonfly , Paula. What brought this on, is I'm currently working near JFK in New York. The Hotel I'm staying in has a Milan based Alitalia flight crew that comes in every evening. They are the friendliest people I have ever met especially after I've had a few drinks, and they all smoke, so I've been talking with them about Italy, and so far, I think that will be the win. I will consult with you more when I know the final plans. Plus I'm sure I will have some sort of lay over in the UK…

Fly to Milan, do a day or two in the city, then take the train to Como and tour the lakes. Beautiful area,
Can be expensive tho… -
Is IHUK using FedEx for shipping now? I received an email from FedEx saying a package couldn't be delivered to me from IHUK as I wasn't home. Just making sure it isn't some crazy spam e-mail, I've been getting a lot of those lately.

My last parcel came fedex. So yes I think

I placed the order for UHF brown, during the order process I received an option to select either fedex or ups. I selected ups as I found ups services better than fedex in my region.
It’s not spam !!I think if you don’t select your preferred shipper system select fedex by default

Ah…dammit. I never even noticed that option. I was too concerned about getting them ordered on time. @Alex is it possible to change my green and brown western classic checks I ordered today to UPS instead of FedEx?

Does anyone know of any company that can taper a shirt sleeve? I bought a shirt off of Fleabay and the shirt fits great, but the arms are kinda poofy and seem to have excess fabric in the bicep area. Or should I take my shirt into some local seamstress and see if they can do it?

Something strange Happened , I received confirmation from IH crew that my package made it to UPS and should be with me shortly. I checked tracking and UPS showed expected delivery for tomorrow .
Thirty minutes ago I received the following email from ups :
At the request of IHUK Ltd of IRON HEART INTERNATIONAL LTD, this notice alerts you the following shipment has been cancelled.
The question is , if IHUK post the shirt why requested to cancel the shipping?
Now the tracking is no longer available as it appeared cancelled !!! What the f*** happen here ?

We cancelled the shipping at your request as you wanted measurements rechecked after the package had been packaged and shipped (pending collection). We happily did this, you confirmed you were happy with your measurements, we recreated the label, and managed to get it onto the van the same day, despite there being less than five minutes between your confirmation and the UPS van collection yesterday.
Latest tracking shows it will arrive with you be the end of day today.
Can I suggest if you have any queries of this sort moving forward, you just contact me direct on my personal email address, which you already have.

Why don't all the Good Art pieces have prices?

So I strongly considering a pair of custom Wesco’s for work. But shelling out that amount of money for something that is going to get trashed is quite a scary thought. But I have done 3 pairs of £60 boots in less than 2 years. So what i wanna know is, are Wesco’s going to last longer and be worth the initial investment. I know all you boys that wear them in the office will say yes they will last you a lifetime but i will be subjecting these to cement and all kinds of nasty stuff on a daily basis.

My first pair get worn through the long Norwegian winter and I specced them to live with that. I walk about 4km everyday in them from November until May through snow, sludge, grit and saline solution. They’re going into their fourth winter soon. They’re in good shape.
I think that if you spec them right and take care of them they’ll last you a good few years. They’ll rebuild them for you too.

Thanks Neph.
That’s interesting to know. So what if the soles are hanging off after a year they will get repaired for free?
