    Blue rubber watchstrap non-watch forum take

    Just curious, I have the blue rubber strap and the exact watch below (photo is from the strap manufacturer All Wrist). Watch forums like watchuseek I feel has a more liberal take on rubber watchstrap when worn with more conservative styles like business formal. That and the fact that you see...

    I generally wear suits to work but on occasions where multiple organisations are involved I wear a company fleece over my shirt and tie so my affiliation is apparent.

    Barbour pile liner being out of stock everywhere?

    cork filling or felt filling in a shoe

    I'm asking this purely from an educational stand point but I heard that instead of cork some shoesmith puts felt in their shoes. Is this true? If so what are the benefits and short falls? Thanks in advance.
