How long will the backs of the speed hooks on Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots gouge the tongues? Also, should I be concerned about this? It's not visible, but the last thing I want are holes in the tongues.

I've only had mine for about a year now, but so far there doesn't really seem to be any damage to the surface of the tongues, it just deforms around the back of the speed hooks (and I haven't really noticed much shange after the first couple of wears. I guess I'll see in another year or two.Originally posted by Vic View PostComment

Are BR Monogram suits fully canvased. This is the one I am specifically referring to: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse...3&locale=en_USComment

Binarythird, based on my completely unqualified internet opinion - no.Comment

Fused, almost 100% certain. Have never heard of BR suits being canvassed - let alone fully. (You realize J Crew Ludlow and SuitSupply are half-canvas, right?)Originally posted by bstv69 View PostComment

Okay thank you, so for $300 (the price I got the BR suit) would you say I should just hold off, and put the money to a fully canvassed suitOriginally posted by LosRockets View Post
And thank you for your responseComment

It depends. Would you ever be comfortable putting down $550-600 on an entry-level fully canvassed suit or $450-500 on a half-canvassed one? Do you wear suits enough to justify that expense? It's a different answer for everybody depending on their context. A $300 perfectly fitting fused suit is still gonna last you a couple years at least if you don't wear it often. And if you do need several suits for a new job, that $600 could get you 2 suits at BR vs. 1 elsewhere, and that may be more useful to you at this time.Comment

I currently do not wear suits often but I will in the near future (not daily but probably at least once a week). I already have an entry level fused navy suit so my next purchase I am really looking to buy a quality suit. Thank you for your help I think I am going to pass on the suit and just save up a little bit more for a quality suit.Originally posted by LosRockets View PostComment

Does anyone make a cheap leather chelsea boot, or am I better off scouring ebay? Target makes a $30 but it's a plastic upper.Comment

Lands end had some last year that looked nice online and we're reasonably priced. I would guess they will be back soon. I would hold off and wait until some of the fall stock comes in to some stores.Originally posted by Domino View PostComment

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to take a picture of the wear and see how much is changes over the next few times I wear them.Originally posted by Deke View Post
The CXL leather is nice and soft, but it still needs a proper break in. Wearing them for an 8-hour day and going up and down 10+ flights of stairs wasn't exactly the wisest decision, but oh well.

Has anyone had any experience with H.E. Mango? Curious, especially, how long their shirts and jackets are. I'm kind of tall and typically wear a 40L, but can also make due with 40Rs (I'm right on the line).
Are things a "normal" length or more cropped like Zara or Uniqlo? (neither of which are long enough for me)Comment

Thoughts on this Banana Republic blazer? It's $80 today w/ a sale. Any experience with the fit? Is this color versatile enough?
