Thanks, Scottie. I have to agree with Omlor that they're quite heavy --
that seems to be an unfortunate fact about dress clothes. They tend to be
either cumbersome or restrictive unless you spend a great deal of money.
But I do like wing tips very, very much...there's an elegant feel about
them that's somewhat rare these days...
