Dude you look good in a way that would appeal to a lot of people if you like dressing this way very much and it makes you happy I am also very happy for you, but 

I wanted to say it the last time someone wore a bomber with leather derbies (uc ma-1 with 1461s iirc) but I'm going to say what's been bothering me for a while now instead and maybe you'll change your views too:

 

Unless you want to sort of look a little more like a skin for whatever reason (which I doubt), 

the combination of a bomber jacket with traditional leather shoes makes no fucking sense at all.

 

You see, conventionally, a typical MA-1 style jacket (well, yours has an asymmetric zip which is a detail I personally loathe on bomber jackets but it's still very much a bomber jacket) is constructed out of water-resistant and a tough nylon and is designed to ensure unobstructed movement inside a cramped space (cockpits which gradually got smaller as aviation technology got more advanced).

It's the embodiment of a new age of garments out of new materials and new conditions we have to shield ourselves from. 

 

Durable, Unobtrusive/Light, Warm/Safe.

 

The Bomber Jacket emerged in the post ww2 jet age when the western world has slowly recovered from shock the horrors of the senseless bomb war in europe, brutalist architecture with its raw honesty popped up left and right, in another 20 years mankind would have shot gigantic steel tubes strapped with explosives to the moon to let some dude walk up on there for a few minutes. 

 

Later, the bomber jackets found their way into civilian wear and are still used today for their practicality and durability.

 

 

Now your shoes are styled after victorian era leather shoes with an cushioned orthopedic sole tacked on.

It makes for a great casual leather shoe when you want to dress up a bit not, but compared to the wealth of shoes we have available today, they are uncomfortable with prolonged use, have to be kept dry because of the leather and are quite heavy and clunky to walk in.

 

So all in all, the only parts of your outfit worth noting where the eyes are drawn to, the outermost layer and your shoes, don't get along at all.

 

The only coherence between those two items is the most shallow of them all, color, and honestly it makes you look really silly.

No I just like talking clothes and wanted to bring something up I noticed more than once.

 

bomber jacket + docs

practical + old 

 

yes the post was mind-numbingly and unnecessarily long, but when I type I get a little dramatic.

 

I don't claim to be authentically dressed myself or that it the historical authenticity of an outfit is directly linked to the value of an outfit, nor was I trying to put anyone down it's just a little thing I noticed.

Again, there's no correct way to wear anything and looks are completely subjective, I am sorry if my essay-length rambling came off as trying to pass off my own opinion as fact.

 

I know stuff like this easily ridiculed and it's fun and all but can we please stop now?

 

 

 

edit: ah you know what fuck it that post and this whole convo was hella dumb and inappropriate. truth is im stuck in a rough spot rn and this was my outlet to work some shit off. I can laugh at it now. Won't edit it out either, naturally. Gonna take a little break.

 

Sorry guys, I really am.
