I hear you on the crease so I'll just see how they do and get them refurbished when need be. I didn't go into the store thinking I'd buy that pair of Leeds at all. They weren't even on my radar. But they fit really well so I got them. Some of the more snooty people say they shouldn't be worn with a suit because they are blucher or derby style(for that matter the brown ones are too). I think that's more an English thing, I don't know. I'm going to make it work. The oxford/bals styles just didn't give me enough room.
I do know that Atlanta is considered progressive in a lot of areas. I haven't been into offices over there really, but I did get to see some young professionals out and about and it appeared as if they would forego some traditional rules in favor of being a little more fashion forward. So I think I've got a little leeway if I'm job hunting over there. I don't know at all if it could be different in the Northeast or Chicago or whatever.
