Those jeans are dope as ****, and the printed distressing just makes it more enticing. Don't like the first jacket a whole lot, the 2nd one is cool but nothing special...

it's the same jacket, I should have made that clearer, and yeah, I will get both eventually, but the jeans are in store while the jacket is online.

Boswell is ~$75 more, but it is hand grade instead of bench. I believe it also has a danite sole while the Hallam is leather soled. Would go for the Boswell no questions if it was leather soled, but as black is more formal I'm not sure about danite soles on it.


I have the Hallam in brown with dainite sole and just ordered the Boswell in black with dainite soles. I feel that black shoes get a bad rep around here. They go very well with dark suits. I know SF disagrees.
