Man, those Viberg boots are so oversized, very boorish.

I'd like to hear other thoughts too. Here's some of mine:

This almost worked, but maybe another color vest, like green (as in the shoes) or replace with a white shirt. There's just no flow with the jacket to everything else.

The colors are good, but I'd prefer the shirt tucked in and a middle layer added.

This is almost good too, but the pants are too baggy for the fitted jacket and a different color pocket square would be nice.

This one's great. I think the colors work well together. Might go with one of the other brighter flannels for more of a pop.

This is probably my least favorite one. The jacket just seems too formal to be worn in this way and also looks about a size too big. Look would be much improved if you just took off the jacket.

The chesterfield in this and the other photo both look a size too big and I agree with timpo that a mid-layer would help a lot.

Costumey.

Incongruous in a way that I can't even get on board with. It mixes cold/warm weather clothing as well as formal/casual. If I saw a person dressed like this without any context, I wouldn't be able to tell what kind of weather he's about to walk into or what he's about to go do.

I like this one alot. Colors are great and I don't mind the fitted top with the more relaxed bottom. Spot on in my opinion.

I love the fits/stylings of Suplex. I often try to recreate them.

These aren't bad, but not as good as what I mentioned about the Suplex fits. I guess I find their fits simpler, which I prefer.

green trousers look hideous on all them styles. Infact them khaki green style trousers shouldn't be worn with anything else besides a white t-shirt or casual white shirt. Just my opinion of course!!

Quick PSA: Bloomies has 30% off EG starting tomorrow as part of their private sale (picked up the green tab collar shirt). Does anyone know if Barney's has something similar now or in the near future?

I like both of these fits better than any that were in the previous Dice&Dice set. I think a scarf would have been nice in the Chesterfield fit. The shawl collar puffy vest looks good. Too bad not too many US stockists (according to Mister Crew).

I believe Canvas in Malibu has/had the black version of that down vest - anyone know who's carrying the navy version in the US?
