The new stitiching is to the welt or through the insole ala Blake?

Interesting... He spliced the sole

Looks like to the insole, since the stitches looked to be lot more spaced out than the one resoled by EEA for another poster earlier?

Think the cobbler might have hand-stitched it directly to the leather insole since I've seen other cobblers (one was in Harborfront lvl 2) doing it before in SG. Might be wrong though, any chance jerome can take a picture of your insoles to see if there are any stitching there?

You mean flat laces. I see reels of laces at Mason and Smith not sure of they sell them, I think there are flat laces. You can give them a call to enquire

I honestly am not too sure. Since it is aligned with the original gyw channel on the rearward portion of the original sole.

They have both round and flat laces.

$20 per pair cut and crimped to your required length.

1.5 years of service of daily use sounds like great longetivity to me.
