thanks. was planning on wearing them with some raf sneakers. those blk laced up ones from last season.
side note: for some reason they fit huge. i ordered a 41 which is my normal raf size and had to exchange for a 40...anyone else had this prob?

also, should i have the shorts cuffed by the tailor or straight? they come with a cuff fwiw

Eh, I wouldn't bother with those. I bought a pair on Amazon when they were selling them for super-cheap ($150, maybe?), and I really wasn't that impressed, particularly by the leather. I was gonna return them regardless because the ones I bought were too small for me, but I don't think they're a great pair of boots overall. You're gonna get sick of hearing this real soon, but I'd recommend saving up your money and getting something better.

Yes or no? It seems like a piece I'd have to try on to see if I like, but it's final sale so I'm thinking of passing.

I would probably go without the cuff considering the shoes you are planning on wearing with them. But you never know until you try right? :D

Wish I knew that those particular shoes fit larger than normal. Would have copped a 43 I saw on sale! :fu: ah well.

Let's know how it goes!

Hey guys.. I've been dwelling on picking this up since I've eyed it for like a year now.. but I'm not quite sure on how great Belstaff quality is and for the price I hope it would last. Any thoughts?

http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/accessories/bags/PRDOVR~23005/23005.jsp ..in the Mountain Brown.

Also been thinking on this because I think it looks neat but it is made from J-crew so the quality has to be medium at best.. would still like to hear any opinions.

Been trying to do some self-esteem raising by binging on myself in terms of buying whatever I feel like (IE clothes) because of some personal stuff but would still like to make some quality purchases.

Thank you guys for always helping and any advice is good advice :)

-Brian

Now before any of you douchepotamus dus come out and tell me it's boring/why you buying basics...

I want it to go with a cream outerwear piece I have (really like a cream/green or cream/navy combo)

Anyone out there that maybe has this can you comment on the fit? looks like it will be tight around the upper body regardless
