You’re right. Ok. Wow, grey suits, navy blazers! Charcoal trousers!

I like it as a more wearable version of a Filson look, which can be nice but sometimes Filson clothes are really big, bulky, and boxy. I can see that going well with a cream, textured sweater, some blue jeans, and Alden Indy type boots.

Who among us has not been inclined towards classic-formal menswear?

I could not tell if you are being sarcastic and I don’t even know if my response was sarcastic.

They are fine pieces. I am sure most people in this thread have those bases covered many times over. But if you need basic menswear staples, I will sure these pieces are solid.

I like it quite a bit, not sure on the price, but it is different enough to intrigue me.

Same way I feel. Too much money for an impulse purchase, though. Actually looking at this which I would get much more use out of:

Wool Twill Overcoat | The Armoury

The Armoury was born from our passion for classic styling and interest in the unique stories behind well-crafted men’s products.

I picked up the grey wool crew neck sweater from The Row. I did not think I needed another basic grey sweater, but the one from The Row is fantastic. Best purchase of the season so far.

Still thinking about it... Have been looking for a Navy DB overcoat for a while now. The Armoury's is a bit more CM than the Dopiaa version at NMWA. Actually, I love them both. Anyway, probably too $$$ to get overcoat and chore coat.

Those are all very nice but, as @bry2000 mentioned, I have all the basic CM bases covered at the moment. Love the plaid in particular.

Although, I just grabbed a NWT Oxxford gray wool/cashmere Glen Plaid sport coat for a steal...

It’s interesting because a lot of the criticism on this thread has been around the more eccentric pieces. I think the classic pieces are a nice correction to that.

Any one have photos of the crinkle scarfs styled w different looks?

 

[ahtynes]

New collaboration up here. Pretty fun I think. The village print scarf appears to have sold out in four minutes!

Once again... really love the clothes, but the prices...!!
