+1 for the canvas, looks good and is probably more suitable for a 'beater' than leather.

Agreed, I've never been impressed with Porter leather (and this is from someone who uses a Porter leather bag) but their nylon and canvas bags are great

+1. I've never really been impressed with porter at all. Master-piece makes much nicer products, and their leather is fantastic for the price.

Yeah I know...been looking for black shoes to wear with grey dress pants/suits for a while but can never make a decision. Just 3 of about 15 shoes I've been thinking about.

The chelseas are probably the most versatile...

I also agree that the Trickers would be your best bet in terms of versatility. A lot of that will depend on how chunky they are irl though, as I find that suits are better paired with sleeker shoes.
