The Liquor Store in Tribeca just started carrying the Crocket & Jones Coniston boot. I can't remember the last time I've wanted a shoe this badly.

Curious about the price?

Since we're all playing this game it seems, 6'2" and 225lbs and a large is usually good on me. A bit tight in the shoulders but if I was to go up to an XL I'd need about $30 worth of tailoring for the sleeves and body so I learn to deal with it.

I've occasionally tried on an M just to compare, and it always feels like I'm trying to fit into my kid brother's shirt. It fits but it's very tight and awkard feeling.

Just hold off a little longer for the RRL cords. Ralph Lauren always runs one of its semi-annual sales a few weeks after their fall 25% off sale.

Damn man I thought I was too skinny (5"11 around 155 lbs). Good to know someone else in the same boat! lol

Fit is good man. I'll probably have to exchange a chambray I ordered in small for an extra small.

By the way, does the blue chambray look like this, which is posted on the J Crew website for the shorts:

It seems a different color (better in my opinion) than the one shown for the blue chambray shirt specifically on the site. Not sure if its just the picture?

Levis 511 cords aren't bad at all. They stretch too if you don't them too skinny, I have to keep washing them otherwise they end up looking like a slim straight fit.

Nice man but hard to tell with the bad picture quality. Fit is perfect on you.

Yeah at night even with the lights on my room has pretty bad lighting ill shoot another one tomorrow for ya during the day.

I'm considering the Danner hiking boots. Pricing isn't too far off normal Danner boots and I like the colour, although I can't see these working for anything other then weekends camping/at the cottage etc. Certainly not for walking around downtown.

Are you planning on keeping the sleeves rolled up? They look a little short.
