do you mean indigo jeans?
if so then they're both great, especially in a "MC does SW&D" context.
also, it's one of those strange things, but brown shoes sometimes look really good with jet black slim-to-skinny jeans. the black/brown rule is weird and i think has to be taken on a case by case basis.

I think the black brown rule is bullshit and happily break it regularly and it looks great.
my guess is dude doesn't mean indigo jeans but he probably means washed black or distressed black, either way would look okay with those boots but they don't really do it for me.

It sucks because these are technically a substitute for my GRAIL shoes which I missed out on last fall,Originally Posted by scott.m

ze pantz?Originally Posted by asobu
really want them, really don't need them, and should prioritize much better but **** they look nice if you can pull them off (not sure I can). comes in a rovery ramie edition that i bet would be fantastic for summer.
******* epic on both, keep it coming boys.
Gentlemen, your responses to brown shoes with black jeans has left me confused.
A pic of the shoes as well as the jeans is given below. I just want to know this particular shoe will work with this particular jeans.
If I was smart enough to figure out the brown /black rule, i wouldn't be asking you guys. Of course I welcome your suggestions as to other shoes.
Thanks

Black & brown is probably the one rule I sort of agree with. Rarely do I see it working.Originally Posted by XenoX101
black and brown is ok as long as the brown looks fairly dark itselfOriginally Posted by aeglus
^ yeah i agree, think it usually looks best with either dark brown or a lighter tan, not so much everything in between.Originally Posted by __CB__
