the two blazers i've tried on by them fit similar iirc.

shirts are generally boxier than blazers, but it depends on the cut as well.

Yeah it should be the same as long as you tried on a wool one. I find the cotton sweater blazers fit me much better

Which coat is better? I wear mostly a monochrome wardrobe so I'm not sure if the navy would be very versatile.... or do you think it would work?

Well, the Dries coat was an auction and I was outbid. Oh well. I'll keep looking for another wool coat. I like the shape of that one, but would actually rather have regular buttons than toggles anyway.

I still wouldn't mind a short trench. hmm..

For what it's worth, the Herring's description of the 290 indicates that it is corrected grain and only half lined, if either of those weigh into your decision.

the leather quality thats throwing me off on loake

Summer days are coming here, today was 27° C, and it made me realize I have no decent shorts, so I´m looking for a good, comfy pair to be around in the summer. Found these on guyconsignment for a good price... thoughts?

Trying to decide between three different desert boots...Any suggestions on how to choose a trendy color combination? Most of the shoes that I saw in the WYWRN thread are black leather with black soles. Is the "contrasting sole" boot style out?

Looks good for a beater pair of shorts. Go for it.

Dior 19cm raw
or
BlueOwl x Momotaro Collabo #4 (cotton warp, silk weft)

The BO x Momos have a new tapered fit that's much better than most repro style jeans. 7.25" @ the hem for my size.
