Not seen these in person and considering buying them online. They look aesthetically pleasing, but not sure how these would look with jeans (APC NS). Anyone got some input?

I would primarily be wearing them with jeans. Also, they look a lot less red than those, and more brown. Edit: btw they're AE Becker's.

Personally I think those could be either be pulled off, or look horrible depending on how you choose to wear them. Personally, I wouldn't buy them because I wouldn't get enough use out of them, not to say you may not. What are they?

They're Emporio Armani Oxfords, £295 - which is pretty expensive for what is 99% guaranteed to be made in China ;<

Damn that's a lot for shoes with such quality to price ratio. Maybe worth thinking about at deep discount if they're 100% perfect for you. I don't want to be the only one to dissuade you though.

The first. It is reminiscent of the earliest, stripped down, Jil Sander mens, which I like, and the texture and quality of the fabric is going to be much more apparent in the pearl grey than in the black. Also, not really a fan of the Johhny collar, nor of the front patch pockets, nor of the cuff detail of the second. It looks sort of confused and unfinished, as if the designer started to strip down a naval dress uniform or maybe a Mackinaw (I can't even tell where that configuration is derived from), got interrupted, and never really got back to the job.
