Any opinions on these shoes? They are Eduardo G. captoes on sale for 165.00 and appear to be a good deal.

It would be my first light-weight jacket and therefore probably the only thing I could wear comfortably in the very hot Japanese summer.


Can someone answer to this question? I'm also considering in buying this blazer

Thanks

Which one is the best for this spring-summer?


Brooks is generally decent quality and style, particularly if you get a good price. At least in the picture, that jacket looks fine. You should try it on if you have the chance. I agree with Larson McCord, the bonobos jacket is ridiculously short. It also has too high button stance for my taste.

Any ID's get huge respect as these have defeated me.

Saw some boat chukkas in the Herrington catalogue. Might have been polo RL.
