Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

I was tempted to just go with a standard Bass Weejun, but I legitimately don't know how good Weejuns' leather and build quality is. Is it actually serviceable or is it genuinely intolerable?

Here are a couple of Weejuns pics. It might help with your decision. I picked these up on eBay for $40.

These are Cole Hann not Bass, aren't they? Is Cole Haan made by Bass? What am I missing

Oops. You're right. I took pictures of the wrong shoes. 😆

Apologies.

Casalantic really has been the best pants for me for OTR. The kicker is that they come in various inseams and 30" works out great--no alterations necessary. I can cuff for no break, or leave as is for small break. My only gripe is after a day of wear, sometimes I can get really bad rashes around the waist band. Am I wearing it wrong or my skin is just super sensitive?

The next foray is trying their shirts and knits.

Tangentially, I wish there was a jean maker in the same vein. Perhaps a tad lower rise, but same cut and option for different inseam lengths. I may just end up ordering the blue pants, too, as a substitute. Now I have green, brown, and white.

I think dieworkwear put them on my radar at first, nice!

I still cannot get behind button front for pants besides denim, and prefer zip front. But I have to say their other styles with the pleats look great, too.

I really like the Mogador style. It's classic and has a great silhouette.
