Didn't see a post for this. Thought this guy deserves some serious recognition for a really cool Fall collection. I'll be picking up these beauties soon:
263

The new rugby with the corduroy collars are pretty sweet too:
263

Cool new selvedge Levi's collection too in STF.

Anybody else love this stuff as much as I do??

Just a little more generous than I was used to with Epaulet (Rudy's), but still very modern. Similar to Howard Yount stuff. Very classic. The leg opening was originally about 8.5". I got them tapered beginning at mid-thigh down to 8" with little break.

BR is an absolute wardrobe staple. The officer coat http://www.parkandbond.com/product/84053219 is ridiculous in person.

Didn't really like his trousers, my favorite was this liner/jacket of awesomeness (midlayer in this fit)

Not sure about canvassing, but the drop on all the suits is 8" I think except for the size 38 jackets, which are a 7" drop.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? By drop you mean the drop in size between the jacket and accompanying pants? So a 38" jacket would come with a 31" pant. A 40" jacket would come with 32" pants.

^ Not with Billy... he;'s done 8" drop suits for a while now. EDIT: That said, he does offer some suiting separates.

This fall I picked up the Shiloh shawl collar sweater in black and the D-Ring loafers in buffalo (although I think the latter are a year-round item). I really wanted the navy rugby, but I tried it on at Nordstrom in Tyson's and it just fit me weird.

I'm contemplating the black Moto boots. Any one tried these on? Any comparison to the other BR shoes?

Anyone have experience with their "Officer's coat?" How is the fit+length? I see that its described to "hit below the knee," but all models seen online wear it over the knee. Would "S" be a 36R or 38R?
