Dislike those F&Bs more after seeing more pics. Dunno if i was really concerned about overall "quality" issues but just dont' like the look of them which in the long run i'm more concerned with. Comeys for me at least are much more attractive, interesting, and capable of doing good things in outfits while the f&bs seem like just ok, kinda clunky shoes with good quality to maybe wear under jeans or something (the shape doesn't lend itself well to slim sleek trousers). Comeys aren't vass or anything but they're solid enough. Do you wear the kinda clothes to work with either? Would make a big difference. Just don't like the f&bs regardless though but if you like gothier or workwear stuff then probably neither, but if you like kinda ervell, our legacy preppy/american stuff like say mellowfellow, ahk, pinkpantser, etc... then they'd work really great. Don't remember your fits so i dunno

Belairs aren't bad but if its not a shoe you wanted w/o the deal then no. 150 for AEs isnt that great of a deal. You can have most new RRP AEs with codes and cashback for around 200 anyway.

Another quick question... should I buy this sports coat off ebay? I currently only have two sports coats (Anderson-Little navy blazer and a Lands End tan wool sports coat I thrifted for $4). I like the pattern, but I'm wondering if it is worth the money. With what outfits could I wear that sports coat? Is it contemporary enough for a college student? Should I buy it? Could I get a better deal if I wait? Thanks.

These are decent and inoffensive.
