Cheeky fit check at Uniqlo whislt shopping this afternoon in Tokyo. Maybe this fits better in streetwead & denim because of the faded jeans, but wearing them is the exception rather than the norm for me.

Also, what do you think of these c&j loafers ive been lusting over? Yay or nay? Want something versatile and leaning towards casual rather than dressy. I also have my eyes at the alden 986 lhs in color 8, so its one or the other for me

Loafers look great but make sure you try on first. I have C and J Harvard 2. I’m a US 8.5 so got UK 7.5 and they fit very close. Very nice shoes especially with their city sole which is like a more refined rubber dainite but they’re too small for me so now reluctantly on sale on eBay.

Thanks! I dont understand my sizing, honestly. My AE park aves are 8.5E, my alden 975s are 8.5D but my trickers stows and my c&j chukkas are 8.5uk. Im also 8.5 in viberg 2030 🤷🏼‍♂️

These loafers in 8.5 fit me just right!

The UK->US sizing seems to be inconsistent. I usually wear 8.5 or 9 depending on the last, and I have UK 7.5, 8 and 9 that all fit. For me some shoes UK->US is 1/2 size up others it's a full size up.

Yeah I’ve played the internet shoe size lottery many times and have by no means been lucky every time.
Even on a US Brannock device my toes are a little over the ‘9’ line and I don’t own any shoes in size 9.
Look at how every shoe thread on this forum devolves into comparative shoe sizing questions. It shouldn’t be this hard!

Thank you, it was a lucky vintage find, shetland wool, no other details on the label other than Made in England.

This is my very first time wearing a jacket on a regular day. Never been so dressed up when out casually, so I am feeling a bit self concious! At least here in tokyo I dont stick out at all.

On a separate note, do you think this jacket can be worn in spring and autumn?

I like the look, in particular the chukkas and the jacket. I would have favored a V-neck: the "additional white" would have brought more "pop" to the outfit.

Thanks, good shout, will try that soon. Whats the warmest temperature you think i could wear this (without a sweater) and not look out of place?
