@eddiemczee I usually quite like your outfits, but i would recommend leaving that bathrobe at home. Really not a good jacket in my opinion.

@MrUnderwood Care to elaborate? That particular jacket or the style?

I reckon it is a combination of the pattern/color, the tied belt and the generel impression of the jacket. It just screams "take it off".

It is definitely not the safari jacket style itself i dislike, just this particular one.

Yeah, it's a looser fit and the pattern is pretty bold. It's definitely not your typical tailored safari jacket, but that's why I like it.

I wonder if it would look less like a robe to you if I didn't tie the belt. I actually prefer to properly use belts on jackets but tried tying it this time around based on some feedback I got here from one of the last times I posted this jacket.

@Gerry Nelson Any thoughts on the Paraboot loafers in terms of sizing and overall quality? I have to say that your photos make them look an awful lot more tempting than the anaemic shots on the Drakes website.

I find that the site shots aren't the best but their look book shots and instagram shots are something else. The quality is in line with the price. It all looks well made and not rough. The leather quality seems on par with my C&J benchmade shoes so I expect them to last a fair while, I went with my usual UK sizing and that worked for me. They feel true to size.
