they have real fur detachable collars for baller status. measure a jacket that fits its really not that hard

^^I'll look into it. Can he do chinchilla fur?

That model is G width, right? It might be really wide. If you're looking for a tan brogue boot, your other alternatives are Loake (I think about 155 to 165 GBP plus shipping), Asos (by NPS in the UK, ~US $203 plus shipping), and the Trickers Stow (about 275 to 300 GBP, but you may get lucky and get one for 175 GPB on ebay). You can usually get the VAT removed from the UK sources. If you just want tan and aren't keyed onto the brogue thing, the tan Tywhitt Captoe shoes are about $200 on ebay plus shipping from the UK. Edit: Also, there are usually really cheap brogue boots on ebay UK for about 60 or 70 GBP from no-name sources. I don't know how good these are, but I figure they are goodyear welted and corrected grain leather.

If BenR is an XL he should skip both and grab my MJ leather.

MY TURN

this or that

 

[AR_Six]

Don't really like either of them that much, get 2 in hi-top instead.

 

[scott.m]

i hate that high top so much, it's so clunky looking on everyone, not my steez at all. the painted MMM's are an option as well.

 

[AR_Six]

Get the painted then for sure... imho, of course.

Second one, for me anyways

First one is like half shoe/half sole, not a fan of huge contrasting soles on low-tops
Might look better dirty, though

Yea man, the colour is fantastic! I'll post up more pics when it gets here... It was either that or the "geometrical" trench which I think is pretty badass too: http://www.blueowl.us/scripts/psp/VB...il&SKU=9900136 Shoulda used this thread! haha but I think I'll be happy with the jacket

you guys and i are on similar wavelengths, now if only i didn't find something on yahoo japan tonight that would complicate this purchase :\\

For my girlfriend, size one like 16.5 pit to pit for these, should fit her Or would this be waaay too much on a girl?

 

[oneblood]

Hard to say without knowing what she looks like/what her personality is like but it isn't something that I would call easy to pull off.

 

[scott.m]

i believe she's asian, no? i think it'd look really nice.
