Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)? - Page 1610

The West is Dead is VERY VERY nice

Yeah anything Jay stocks will be nice. What about Epaulet? You pay for all quality and no branding

Can get an Engineered Garments T-1 jacket for $150. Should I? This jacket but in khaki color

^ they got the pockets the wrong way around on that one. If that doesn't bother you, go for it. It's a nice everyday jacket.

Thoughts on these three boots?

The SS version or FW? Either way, decent price, nice piece.

I noticed that. It's awkward how high up the hand warmers are. My hands were resting on my sternum in it

Not sure. It's cotton I believe. Is A/W wool?

The fall version is cotton lined with wool. COme to think of it, not sure there's a SS version or not--there have been spring bombers in poly cotton blend before.

Looking for wingtips like the ones pictured below



Would these fit the bill, and are they "good" shoes?

Those are fine... These are better:

 

AE Ridgeway
 

 

Eh not exactly. Plus, I'm trying to stay away from AE. No hate for their shoes, I just would like something else.

Fair enough.  I thin the Florsheims are probably pretty good shoes.  Longwings are tough.  

Why not get Aldens then?

I should probably just save up, but the problem is I don't want to spend over $220. I could save my dough though. What Alden model comes closest to the picture?

It's the Alden Long wing blucher. There are seconds in calf for $300 and in shell for $400 call shoemart and ask them to email you the list.

Alfred Sargent and Loake should have something similar, British would call the shoes gunboats or American blucher / brogue
