Hah yeah, some of it looked very lightweight and delicate, torn about it because the design of that stuff is awesome. Will probably get one just to see.

I like what you do so I'll be honest, steer clear of the bottom two, tried all 3 on and definitely first had the best contruction. The **** pockets tear mad easy on tha Ma-1 esque silhouette and the harrington one is AIGHT. but the first is definitely best. You ever consider gyakusou?

Can get these for $230. Looking for a good summer loafer that I can wear to a business (very) casual office and out on the weekends.

Are these worth it? can I do better for the price? Not limited to loafers, but something summery. was also considering the j crew suede alden bucks in camel, but don't see those working as well in an office.

Decent. I read an article about these and they seemed interesting. A little plane-Jane to me, but I can see them working in a casual office. There's something sort of old about them though. I like the blue ones!

Dude Gyakusou is Undercover's performance line with Nike, it's insane. White Mountaineering BLK is good too. Outlier and acronym are other labels that come to mind, arcteryx veilance as well.

buying RO shorts made me realize I dig shorts a lot....plus I realized I could do some interesting **** where I get rick owens denim leggings or julius leggings kinda like the dude in my avatar to pair with em. So, ive been contemplating these, despite my long hate for cargo shorts.

I suggest to pair those with some oak street bluchers. Denim leggings sounds weird.
