Found these Cole Haan Cambridge Chukka Boots for $100 at Nordstrom Rack (retail price is $268). They looked really nice and felt pretty comfortable too. I was thinking between the Clarks Bushacre and this Cole Haan Cambridge Chukka. I actually like the Cole Hann one better. I honestly want to love Desert Boots and Bushacres but I can never get them to look good on my feet lol. Do u guys think $100 is a good price for these Cole Haan boots?

Hi,

I'm getting measured up for a bespoke suit this Friday (it will be my wedding suit) and am looking for opinions on a few elements of the jacket. I tried on a few jackets on the weekend to get an idea of what I like, and found two jackets that I liked that were quite similar, however quite different at the same time. Disregarding colour, which jacket better suits my body type? Note that the jacket descriptions are relative to each other, and not to any standard.

Jacket 1: Open quarters, higher button stance, wider lapel, larger notch angle, shorter collar edge where it meets the lapel

Jacket 2: Closed quarters, lower button stance, narrower lapel, smaller notch angle, longer collar edge where it meets the lapel

Thanks,

Knighty

Personally I like the first one. higher armhole+larger notch lapel... looks modern and smart

Hello my friends. I am new here with one question.

Do you think a 0.5 size stretch is an easy job for a standard cobbler?

I have one pair of AE, just a half size smaller but the color and style is what I love. so wanna see if it's a good investment to ask a cobbler to stretch it.

Thanks for your input

How important is full vs half canvas to you for heavier sport jackets?

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
