Thinking about getting these to wear with both skinny jeans and slim suit pants for casual and semi-formal. versatile enough/should i pull trigger?

Johnston & Murphy aren't made like they used to be. For that price range, look at Allen Edmonds on ebay for the same style but better quality.

That said, I don't really love brogued oxfords in casual looks. You might be better off picking which look you'll get more use out of, and either getting the brogues or getting a pair of boots, which will look nicer with jeans.

Not sure if it's too trendy in general for a denim jacket, but it does seem like a nice versatile piece to have a quality item for..

The one in the pic you posted (the only full body styled shot on the site) is a different jacket than the one that is for sale and is in all of the other photos - take a look at the front pockets.

I've seen this one in person before, and I've gotta say that the front pockets really don't look good at all. Something about the way they and their flaps are rounded looks off. Give it a pass.

Most likely the one with the rounded pockets as that's what most of the pics are, and that's the one that is in the APC stores right now

I'd pass, most of the good camo stuff ditches the military vibe to look good, but with the treads those look like army surplus boots.

Haha, thanks. They're canvas grensons.
