^Suit looks great; I guess it depends on if you'd actually wear it anytime. super, I dig that sweater. Price isn't bad, either.

The Allen Edmonds Chestnut is a gorgeous colour, (I own a pair, not cliftons though) I'd say yes.

Bed/Stu on sale for $80 I've been looking at Clarks in beeswax but would rather have a leather sole. However, the size available might be a little too big as I'm a true 10.5 and the lowest it goes is 10. What do you think, and would I be able to sell them on B&S if they don't fit?

no, for all kinds of reasons, unless you really really needed a suit asap and couldn't get anything else together. if you want confirmation of this, post the pics in the waywt MC section.

It's the same store that carried the Loomstate line which none of the other stores had as well. The fabric might feel a bit cheap, but it's very lightweight and comfortable and the fit seems pretty good.

Why would you shop for a suit at Target? I hate to sound pretentious, but that sounds like a really bad idea.

They don't look that great, to be honest. You could find something better if you look around.

Sebago handsewn penny loafers for $60? They're at a local store, dunno what colors/finishes they have in my size. Would made-in-Maine RL's ever hit such a deep sale?

^^Sounds like a good deal to me. Just feel the leather quality, sebago loafers have a tendency to have rather plastic-y leather.

I'm trying to decide on a black belt. SF member Hollowsleather makes a really nice one for $75 or $115 with white border stitching. On the other hand, this Sugar Cane version for $145 looks perfect.

Someone convince me one way or another. Are they basically the same with an upcharge for the Sugar Cane logo? Or is the SC version more awesome? The buckle is definitely more awesome.

I've never handled a hallows belt, but the Sugar Cane belt is very thick, and of course, awesome.
