@Disgrace said in Crown Northampton - Dress Sneakers:
@Cymro Nice choice. How are they for size vs. what you would normally take for sneakers? Apparently, they run narrow.
I used their online measuring system / calculator to work out the size. This came with a 9.5 Wide.
I do have wide feet and will say that I’m happy with the fit.
Don’t really have other pairs of sneakers to compare , but I have a pair of Viberg service boots in 9.5, RM Williams at 9 Wide or 9.5 Standard
Inspired by (or copying!) @Marc2706’s fit pic way back, ordered a pair of Adnitt GAT, ordered at end of April and delivered last Wednesday.
On first wear, very light and comfortable, can imagine will be excellent after a few wears when moulded to my feet.
Only slight concern is the ’step’ on the heel and how that will be worn when driving.

First wear. New measurements nearly matched the ‘worn’ of my other 634’s. Comfortable from the get go.
@yannis it’s fate when the measurement are ideal isn’t it!
thanks @yannis , @goosehd now trying to convince myself that I don't need another pair of Jeans, considering I have an unworn pair of 142 ib waiting for once the one I have become to 'evolved' to wear to the office. But still........!
Might be a silly question but will these still crock / transfer indigo the same as ‘normal’ indigo or does the over dyeing prevent (or reduce) this?

Advice for anyone reading this: G and I were chatting one day about investments and when comparing notes, I realized we had a hole in our investment strategy. We had a rainy day fund of cash that wasn't doing anything. It was there for when/if we needed it...the question then is when and how fast do you need it.
We started putting the rainy day fund into short term GIC's that come to term in 1 year increments and invested them in quarters, so that every 3 months something is coming due and we can either reinvest or take it out for the rainy day...
That conversation is not making huge amounts of money, but it is making money. Thank you @Giles as it was a brilliant conversation.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a GIC?
Thanks
@Chibs popped collar video review on it??
Night away for quarterly (ish) meetings.

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the IH 526 SBG and the IH 526J SBG?
I’ve spent the last 10 minutes looking, bothe modified type 3 21 oz black fades to grey? Only difference I can see is one seems to have leather patch and is out of stock. The other doesn’t and is coming soon.
I’m sure there is something fundamentally obvious which I’ve missed! (Not trying to be clever or awkward just curious and confused!)…… and the W colour is different.
Thanks @Alex the colour of the W is so obvious, don’t know how I missed that 
@goosehd thank you. Think the product description on the website might need correcting. Both are described as modified with the internal pockets.
