I know about cole haan's rep here but the shoes are $20 and I thought it might do well for a beater. But I've cancelled the purchase anyway. As for j. crew, I thought it's an accepted mid-quality/budget brand here?? Yeah I won't buy it for $130, it's a Buy Now price, I still can bid from $50. Sorry for not making it clear.

Even $50 is pretty high for J Crew

And really, been here for years?

The Cole Haans bucks were ugly as ****. hence the overwhelming response.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I didn't post a response to the JCrew cardigan because it doesn't do anything for me. i don't hate it. I don't love it. It's just there. It's inoffensive. For $50? Eh. Why not.

Guys act like it's COMPLETELY ridiculous for someone to still like anything else once you've been exposed to high end artisinal design


But a pair of beat up Cole Haans just because they're cheap? And a J Crew cardi for $$130? That's just being silly, especially after 4 years of being exposed to a place like this that directs you to amazing deals 24/7

It'll go great with your chinos and allen edmonds?

I'd skip it. It's like a grunge piece, from what I've seen of your personality it's not gonna work.
