I was kind of taken aback when I saw a Martin Greenfield tag on a Rogan jacket. Always skipped over them as overpriced Made in China crap like a Theory

I see it like owning a Kia built in a BMW factory, it's still going to be a Kia. Like this: http://www.rogannyc.com/mens/oskar-jacket.html It's an odd result. I'm not sure if they'd try to sell the buyer on getting a discounted MG suit or what. I just wonder how many people love Rogan so much that they're willing to overlook the situation.

Still can't get behind those Prada Creepers for the same reason others have been mentioning. It just seems so like such an un-cohesive mashing of aesthetics and they border on the Stacey Adams/Aldo looks with some of those upper and sole combos. Different strokes I guess.

This. It is so disappointing that stores like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus are carrying such ugly and mass manufactured crap at those prices. Jesus. Affliction, Ed Hardy, Tommy Bahama, etc. Really? Amazing. God bless small boutiques and eCommerce. More reason to support our affiliates.

Very well said and good example. I do think some of Rogan's offerings are nice though.

Did someone just say ToJ bomber? If so, then I approve of this potential decision. Can't wait to start wering my whiskey bomber this coming fall/winter. Things is the ****.

On another note, I bought a pair of the Geller Cropped Black Flight pants before my recent vacation. I wore them on the flight out, loved them and looked forward to wearing them in so many chill and relaxed fits and weekend wear, and come home and can't find them anywhere. I may have lost them in the Caribbean

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Still can't find a 44 anywhere!

im not sure if those cropped flight pants fit the same as the "field shorts" or w/e that i have, but i'm pretty small (5'6, 30" waist) and the 46s fit just fine imo...unless you know for sure 44 will fit better...

29" actually. A 46 would probably work, I just don't want it too baggy around the thighs.
