        I have problems with that quote the more I think about it. If the two have only small differences, one need look closer until the differences are major, and there's a single, clear 'A'.

          I see your point as well Snowy, but when the expert can't quantify the difference as it would relate to the question…. The two biggest I see are raw or one wash, left or right hand twill. Given that all are sought after, and performance variables are minimum, that leaves only the decision itself and personal preferences. In other words, I'm no closer than I started 😉

            Why bother, if the differences are small, why waste the time?

            I'm also a great proponent of just making a feckin decision.  Prevarication wastes time, if you make a decision and it is wrong, you can usually adjust, if you don't make a decision, either nothing will happen or what was going to happen anyway does…..Far better to just get on with something (imo)....

                        Part of my nature. Probably drilled into me after years of being able to explain down to 'root cause' as to why the wind changed etc.

                        Mind you I'm a huge fan of the McDonalds Theory(https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d) to get things going.

                        @Megatron1505 your new blog makes it seem like you spend hours upon hours looking for that 'one' detail that sets a first world artifact apart from others near identical. (nice content BTW 😘 )

                                Pass the 634UHR and buy something lighter for Summer? Maybe a TW-634N?

                                      How does Rm Williams sizing run?
                                      Found a pair on eBay in my usual size 12 boot size and wondering if they would work.

                                      I'm a bit late on this one but here's my response to another forum member's question about RM Williams sizing a while back:

                                      @Qinhan:

                                      Weird sizing.  I'm a 7G in RM, an 8 in RW and an 8 (26.0 cm) in Japanese boots.  I was very glad I could try these on in the store before buying.  The other thing is, because they're chelsea boots, they've got to be tight when you buy them because the leather stretches a little, but not too tight that they're uncomfortable.

                                        Thanks man, I decided to hold off… I've shot craps one too many times in ordering boots online... Gotta wait until I'm sure from now on.

                                          I am considering staring a thread for my felt accessory cases. Should I put it in other brands and shops (Too small to technically be a brand just now) or in accessories?

                                          Thanks in advance.
