Alden chukkas with crepe sole, or Common Projects trainers.
I'm jealous CP's can work for the rain you get!

Beat up Blundstones.
Aurora shoes.
Beat up Timberland Boat shoes (with the lug sole).
Paraboot Avignon for "dressier" occasions.
I am still considering the ubiquitous Paraboot Michael for exactly these weather conditions.
Also, if I am feeling particularly rugged: LL Bean Duck boots.
Paraboot Neuilly or ReimsDrake's fans on the more casual side (denim, oxfords, shetlands, fleece vs tailoring), when it's raining and foul what footwear do you reach for?
RM Williams Chelsea?
Paraboot for the deep sole?
That looks great! (Should have gotten that scarf myself, I really like how the colour pops on the coverall...)Yes, Chelsea boots too, like my beloved YSL Hedi Slimane I have been wearing almost a decade now (?!, didn’t realise been so long). Not as comfortable as Aldens though.
And then the two items from the archive sale: the red fleece and the red scarf. Both lovely pieces. Fleece is a size XL: I was worried it might be too large but it fits me well. The recent Drake’s editorial on fleeces also showed people wearing oversized fleeces.
And then the regular Coverall in a true to size 42 for me. Ever since getting it last October or so I have been wearing it almost daily, bar the really cold days (say 8 degrees Celsius and below) when I would be wearing my Woolrich Woolen Mills four hands parka (special edition, over a decade old!).
Denim: Oni Denim.
Anglo-Italian suede desert boots with crepe soles, Morjas suede jumper boots or C&Js Brecon in calf with Dainite soles. The suedes ones I spray them every couple of months with Saphir invulver stain protector which provides some level of waterproofing.Drake's fans on the more casual side (denim, oxfords, shetlands, fleece vs tailoring), when it's raining and foul what footwear do you reach for?

Really, you can wear anything! It’s remarkable how well something like suede cleans up.Drake's fans on the more casual side (denim, oxfords, shetlands, fleece vs tailoring), when it's raining and foul what footwear do you reach for?

I live in Norway and it gets kind of rough here sometimes in winter. I've been using the Sorel Cheyanne - good looking casual shoe, but it's way too warm. This year I've been using Hunters chelsea boot with a wool insole - great success. Perhaps not the best alternative estethically, but that is what makes it cool sometimes.Really, you can wear anything! It’s remarkable how well something like suede cleans up.
I do tend to stick with the Paraboot Michael or Alden Indy though if it’s particularly grim outside.
I am new to the forum and currently think about getting a chasseur jacket from Drake's. My issue is the sizing. I usually wear a 38/40 UK but I'm quite tall (6'1"). Therefore I don't really know if I should go down to 36 or get the 38. Maybe someone of you has more experience with Drake's sizing for rather tall and skinny guys like me?
I also have a second question: I came across this green tag and was wondering if one of you could date it.

I didn’t buy the tweed artist chore from the winter collection but am considering this linen jacket.
Ecru Check Linen Forestiere Jacket
Originally commissioned by designer and architect Le Corbusier in 1947, the forestiere takes its inspiration from the classic French gamekeeper’s jacket, and has been beloved by the countercultural Bobo set ever since.
