They are comfortable and very soft - seem to be of good quality.

Absolute beauties them, where they from?

^ I hope you're not talking about the shoes...

 

[Castle]

Hope whatever you wish. What else would I be talking about?

 

[phoenixrecon]

shoes are j crew of course

 

[Castle]

Thanks. . . but what indicates they are J Crew to people who haven't seen them before?

 

[phoenixrecon]

its because they have laces... only j crew has laces.

 

[Castle]

Great reply. Everyone seems to be obsessed with J. Crew on here, kinell. . do you own thing you sheep.

 

[phoenixrecon]

you must be trolling.... its obviously j crew

 

[Castle]

Trolling? eh

When did I say they were or weren't J.Crew?
You been on the pop lad?

 

[a-rock]

They're JCrew for sure. JCrew invented woodsman-style laces. They also invented mocs, chambray, gingham, Indian madras, and tab collars, utility jackets, Levis blue jeans, and Timex watches.

 

[Castle]

Lets be honest though, J. Crew aren't original in any way. Never done anything iconic either really.

i'm going to save you the trouble here buddy. they're making fun of you because you're posting in a thread about ll bean signature, and you asked where the shoes were from. they are from ll bean signature.

 

[Viking]

These are from LLBean Signature collection

 

[Ossington]

Is there a difference beyond colour/price for the regular LL bean casco bay boat shoes and the ones from signature?

Just wondering if it would work as a decent khaki cotton summer suit.

Recently wore the plain weave blazer and pants in soapstone as a summer suit with a pink shirt and black/white/red diagonal stripe tie. Buttons look cheap and I plan to replace them, trousers could use a hem, jacket shoulder padding feels like a bit much. Still, plenty of compliments from the uninformed. It's a three-button blazer, so I let it hang with the lapel up and wore it as a three-roll 2. I straddle a 38/40, and the 38 fits reasonably well, if a bit loose in a few places.

All for less than $200 when I bought it with the $10 gift card offer earlier in the spring and free shipping codes. If you press your luck in the B&S forum, you can get a much better suit in the $300-400 range. If you need something right away and prefer a return policy to accompany your purchases, I wholeheartedly recommend this route.
