I think they look okay! Although I don't think everyone can pull off white loafers, IMHO. I am also looking something to wear with shorts, albeit more casual though (I have a pair similar to yours, but in brown). I am usually pretty conservative but for some reason I am thinking about this pair by F-Troupe... I am in two minds though!

If you are going to get cowboy boots, get real cowboy boots. Those fryes are like a bloated half-assed version. The buttero seem overpriced given the shape they are in IMO. EDIT: just ran across a pair of boots probably about your size that don't completely suck: http://cgi.ebay.com/Barkers-Cedar-Ca...item53e29c8e3e

Qualities pretty good on them. Leathers very nice and the construction seems solid. Probably no worse then rick owens.

Our Legacy Charcoal Herringbone Suit (cotton)

Considering getting the whole thing, or maybe just the pants
Sizing info? I've tried on other OL stuff, but never their suits
Also, would the patch pockets make it a no-go for office use?
