What other gmtos are going on right now?


I am still trying to wrangle folks for a burgundy highland grain G&G Thorpe - I thought had five, so we were a go, but have received PMs back from two folks that had indicated confirmed interest. Back down to 4, so PM if you are interested and want more details. Thanks.

Would this work as a dress shoe as well as casual or just casual? I'm afraid the heavy stitching makes it more casual .

Depends on your definition of "dress". I'd were these with trousers and sport coat all day, everyday.

+1. Suit, no. Business casual, absolutely -- though the lighter color will keep it from achieving the level of dressiness that a darker color would.

I was thinking sport coat and flannel trousers. Looking at these as something similar to the Vass split toe bluchers from NMWA. I think those work with a sport coat and trousers for sure. Would these fall along the same lines at all or strictly jeans and chinos?
