Thinking about these bad boys by John Lobb, but my only question is is this color of leather (claret) old-manish? I own many pairs of brown and a few blacks, but nothing in the red spectrum:

Sounds like it's about time you got something with a bit of red if you ask me.

I say go for it.

Raincoats are as the very name implies rather limited in use, of course depending a lot on the number of snow/rainy days where you live. I would consider more versatile outerwear first (overcoat).

I've been lurking for some time, but the time has come for me to post. I'm looking for a nice, basic captoe in a burgundy/merlot shade and have come across three possible choices. General information about personal style and personality; I'm currently a student and freelance makeup artist, I prefer a slimmer fit though I try not to fall into the trap of excessively trendy styles.

First off, Bruno Magli,







Second, Royal Tweed by Cheaney,





Third, Yanko,





Feedback or personal experience is appreciated. Cheers.

Considering a blue blazer, very significant sheen and a bit of tailoring:

I like don't love them them, although the color works. There's something somewhat bulbous about the cut.
