So far I only like them with medium blue, and it seems kind of dumb to keep them if I can't wear em with anything.

Suggestions?


Cream linen or cotton trousers.

I just picked up these loafers. I think they'll be good for summer.

BTW, Manton mentioned suede + linen = no-no. How about suede with cotton? Summer wool?

Just do it if you want to. I wear bucks with linen I just won't wear a regular welted winter looking suede shoe.

+1 also I won't wear suede half boots, chukka boots, etc. with linen or any summer weight
fabrics. But I will wear suede and calf spectators
