-Tan bluchers (cheap beaters)

Note that I don't wear suits at all at the moment (just jacket, odd trou and tie), and plan to only rarely in the future, and that I don't really like black shoes. I'm also starting to wear more casual jackets on Fridays and weekends.

I'm thinking dark brown calf bluchers? I was considering burgundy or dark brown longwings, but not sure how much I would wear such a 'heavy' shoe in the summer, so maybe this should be next year's purchase. Was also considering dark brown calf or suede loafers, but after not fitting into a pair of C&J Sydney in my size the other day due to my high insteps, I'm leery of ordering a pair online...

Dark brown bluchers or wingtips (bluchers), maybe NST?. I'll get those photos for you tomorrow of the Meermin's, but they are a burgundy, rather than brown.

Ah sorry, didn't know.

It can reduce sweating, that's for sure.

I sweat a lot, but having an aluminium-free deoderant and an undershirt prevents almost all of my issues.

Mixed results on the internet. Some people believe that shaving will reduce odour and the amount of liquid you sweat.

I wouldn't have posted it, if it hadn't of been discussed before.

That's been my experience - there's no layer of hair there so it's cooler and the sweat has no hair to cling to.

Do you guys ever worry that some of the suits you wear aren't CBD enough? 

From what I can see of the courts most wear charcoal and black. Ties are almost strictly flat or some kind of non offensive print.

Surely this depends on your working environment. From your second sentence, you seem to be making the assumption that we're either in the legal fraternity or regularly brought up on various charges 

I'm not and I wear everything from odd jackets/odd trousers to a three piece suit without any issue.

I assume this isn't par for the course, so is there some trick to getting the skin dry enough for this not to happen, or am I perhaps just unusually sensitive to the stuff? Any suggestions welcome.

Try this, Mrs db buys it for me.

I have never seen that thread before, I laughed more than anything else on SF. Manton's posts are gold.
