Im not sure about the tags, but im sure the leather tag on the back is black on Mics, post pictues of yours, i have a pair of max, and they look rather hard to bootleg, all the buttons have acne written on them and stuff...

help for a color blind person

Would it be ok to wear a dark navy sweater with cherry black redwing boots? or do these colors clash too much? I'd be wearing dark denim with cuffs with this if it matters.
thanks!

My leather tag is black but on the inside of the pant, on the tag behind the left pocket, it doesn't say mic in raw or anything like that anywhere. The tag on the inside says the size and it says "tube lena"... 98% cotton, 2% elastane. On the Acne site, http://www.acnejeans.com/system/sear...uct.asp?id=285, it says that it's 100% cotton. Am I just being insanely paranoid or do I have a reason to be concerned?

Hey guys I'm new to this forum so sorry if this question has been asked ad nauseum.

I just bought a pair of raw denim jeans (Cheap Mondays, they were the cheapest in the shop and the best fitting on me). I've heard bits and pieces about how to take care of them but never the full story. I've been to wiki and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have an article on this.

So has anyone got a guide to take care of my raw denims so that they don't end up being a bad investment?

Alden Indys, Quoddy Ring Boots, Red Wing 875, Clark P&B Wallabees, or some desert boots (clark? opening ceremony?) as winter boots? I hate it when my toes get really cold in the winter.

Indys, 875, Quoddy, P&B in that order.

As for the last option, don't limit yourself to desert boots. Chukkas by English shoemakers will have a far more refined last and better leather quality/construction. These by Charles Tyrwhitt, for example:

Also consider RM Williams chelseas, or the AE Tauntons.

I'm trying to track down a specific peacoat. It's a grey tweed coat made by Hamnett, anyone know where I can browse/purchase their stuff? Similar to this...

Does anyone know where I can even buy that coat?

Anybody know anything about this brand? Good quality? What's a good blazer for that price range? Thanks.
