I'm off it. I like it, but I don't $750 like it, and oversized fits look like garbage on me. Thanks for the feedback y'all.

Not this exact model so can't speak to the toe box, but I have the paris, texas boot at the low heel (which this one seems to have as well) is the only downside IMO - just something to consider

I actually like the low help on those. Some Buttero boots have too high of a heel IMO.

This AMI jacket looks nice, too. I like the mouse-y, taupe color. Snaps don't really bug me, but I'm digging the multi-pocket thing with zip recently after seeing that East-West inspired thing that MaiLam got.

That jacket looks great.

Random, but does anyone have a recommendation for a suede or leather type 1 or type 2 trucker jacket (that's not Visvim or Visvim-level pricing)? Prefer buttons to snaps.

I would check SF’s very own- Falcon Garments

I like a lot of this season but can’t help but wonder what the point is?
Haider is already crazy expensive with some very nice materials and Berluti is a lot of the same silhouettes but even more expensive. But there’s more accessories/bags I guess?

The Haider show was really really good though.

I am not sure if you are talking about Calvin Klein Collection. If it is the case, I have a very different opinion.
The first and also the last piece CKC I had long time ago was a rain coat. It costed a fortune at the time, but I got it anyway since
it was a beauty in design and Italian craftsmanship. Just only a few times after the rain, the fabric began to crumble an look like garbage. Since then, I have been avoiding Calvin Klein at all cost.
Also, I don't think CKC can hold up as the same level as Berluti, IMHO.

Seconded. My Falcon T1 is perfect. Wouldn't change a thing about it.

I like the Falcon jacket, but it's almost a little too refined for what I'm thinking of. Something about the hidden and not-metal buttons and maybe the pocket orientation.

Yeah look for trad or menswear brands, this is some typical #menswear# staple.

That's how I feel about T3s (#ubiquitous?), much less so T1s and T2s.
