yes or no? / this or that?

[sawyer]

really tough call. what you need less, wet or cold? both are great

gore 3l would be nice, but the jacket is very expensive

only other thought is that white canvas gets dirty pretty quick

[superhero]

What do you guys reckon of these? Alden for Winn Perry - cop or no cop at $450

[CUTUP]

^ Aldens would be a go for me, I have always been partial to Aldens though. I like the clean look of those boots, very versatile

If you got the funds of course, as the price isnt anything overly special IMO

[freecat]

that's an investment you'll wear those for years, if you feel like it, they're very nice.

[superhero]

yea I'm looking for black lace up boots - and these were the ones that caught my attention because of it's simplicity and leather sole.It was these and the context tanker boot.

My only concerns would be whether or not it may be too clunky for it to be slightly dressed up occasionally.

How much do aldens run for usually? Is this expensive for an alden because its a collab?

[CUTUP]

^ I don't think thats overly expensive, Aldens aren't cheap.

Im sure some of the amount is tacked on due to it being a limited production/ collaboration, but a decent pair of Aldens will run you around $400 on average ( for retail) so its not like your being screwed

If your looking for something for solely formal wear, I would go with something different. But for something "slightly dressed up" as your mentioning, they look pretty versatile to me.

The toebox is a little higher then your standard dress shoe for example, but not overly so IMO

thanks for that, that was my main concern about the toe box being a little clunky.

I actually was inspired by this photo from the denim in movies thread:

and i would love to throw some boots on with my denim. however, i spend most of my week in a business casual environment, so a few days each week when i'm in the back office i can get away with wearing boots so i was just wondering if it would be able to go with some work pants or slacks on a day when i don't have to see a client.

I think i will cop them though, on first impressions it looked like a very well polished and solid boot.

i had a look at the tricker's burford - it has a much sleeker last, however i do prefer the alden - the double waterloc sole is quite attractive in terms of form and function!

[the_state]

Holy shit @ Florsheim Imperial Kenmoors. Y'all sleepin way hard with your $500 Alden collaborations. Goodyear welt, beautiful shape and leather, heavy (in a good way), and really solid construction for $180.

Why no love? B/c they're not made in the USA or featured in Inventory magazine?

I think peacoat as well. Wait till you see next fall Geller. AMAzing!!!

[salaryman]

that peacoat is pretty nondescript though.

kind of looks like banana republic or something to me. would cop the geller jacket.

[superbeveridge]

Got a little bonus and I usually like to treat myseld when I get money that wasn't planned for or budgeted away. I kinda think I know what everyone's reaction will be. I am toying with the idea of getting the JCrew/Timex watch instead of the Buzz Rickson Sweatshirt. Give me a reason why I shouldn't get these... I am curious.

I don't know... maybe because it is comfortable and a little different looking... I suppose I could get an american apparel shirt in the same colour and save 100 bucks.

Yay or nay?:

Not really feeling the "sock" but it's removable. And I like that price.

[pieiskewl]

geller jacket imo over the peacoat

two different types of steez though, not exactly interchangeable

EDIT: Raf shoes are wack as hell, even at that price

[superbeveridge]

Nay... those are the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. Sorry but I gotta say it.

[Fycus]

Every time I see people post those shoes in those thread I see people respond with "hell no". Instead of saying no this time, I encourage you to buy them so I can at least see a fit pic.

[broneck]

without the "sock" they're just a neon nike shox trainer as far as i'm concerned
