I'm probably in the minority but I've always preferred the old skool over the authentics. The black and white checkerboard slip ons too.

Authentics with the extra cushion sole and forget about all the fancy stuff.

I hate to say it, but all of those other ones not only look alike, but also resemble a Nordstrom Rack special.
I get that, but feel like authentics would look out of place in the workplace. The original pair I'm after is a collab between C.QP and Eidos few years ago. I think it's the second pair I posted above. I might just hold out and see if C.QP drops some new colorways as Gentleman's Footwear in LA? and The Armoury carry limited offerings. Sweyd seems almost like a good alternative.

Or maybe Stoffa..

Not sure if it fits better in CMw or here, but I recently saw an Avon Celli Cashmere sweater and cant decide whether to keep or not so I thought to get some help here.

From I can tell it seems to be in quite nice condition though the hems feel a tiny bit stetched out (for sure not unusable) apart from that I have no idea about age, ply or anything else.
The fit is a bit on the looser side but for a chunky sweater I dont really mind.
Price is 200€.

From my reseach AC seems to have a good reputation for knit though they dont seem to have a website anymore. Any thoughts about the brand, the piece and the price?

Please ignore the horrible trousers :)

Thanks!
