Would love to see a top-down pic eventually! They look great but I never thought of getting a balmoral on the Detroit last, what made you go that route?

Honestly me either until I was randomly searching goodyearwelt on reddit and saw some great pictures of the detroit last. It truly is more elegant than people make it out to be. I really just wanted to add some diversity to my rotation and just took a gamble. I did a brief review on how they fit and price at http://oxfordsandties.com/2015/09/ca...t-impressions/.

Oh wow, that's gorgeous. I just re-purchased the AE Park Aves in black for upcoming residency interviews. Even nearly-new at $160 they seem like a disappointment. THAT is how conservative black captoes should look, no ugly welt sticking out from beneath the leather.

Where'd you get your Park Avenues for $160? The last time I checked AE prices was a year or two ago. I am pretty shocked at the price of AE firsts now. I don't have the patience for seconds either.

Ebay. Got fortunate as good quality firsts are going for 170+ these days and these were 160 including some vintage cole haan made in america shoe trees. New first quality AE shoes are pretty expensive these days, I agree with you about the sticker shock. The seconds game isn't fun. Would rather just ebay gently-used firsts. Takes about as much time but at least you know what you're getting.

Cool, but $205 cool? eek.

Yeah that's my thought. If it were $50 I'd probably have bought it already.

Agree with that wholeheartedly.

In the spirit of the thread, I bought a ton of camping-related stuff for a quick trip upstate this past weekend. That included a G-shock Rangeman I've been eyeing for a while for a super casual watch for when I don't want to muck up a nicer watch:



Also purchased a few more Bonobos washed chinos, including a pair in burgundy for the fall that I think look pretty cool: https://bonobos.com/products/washed-...color=madeiras

$64 -- excited about the interior pockets and layering

Got a Suitsupply Sienna on eBay. It arrived today. It came on auction with buy it now auction at $290 shipped. I knew if I wanted it I had to act now and I could sell it if I didn't like it without taking loss. Seller claims he only wore it once and I believe it. I wasn't sure about design but I love it. Fabric is mid to lightweight S130 by Reda that has been lightly brushed. Not a full flannel but brushed, which I've been wanting. It will be a nice suit to break out on some of the cooler days this winter. It is a full suit, I didn't picture pants.

Drake's of London is certainly not what I'd call a maker of "fashion scarves." But yes, it is $205 for a scarf that would have fairly limited uses, especially here in the rural West, hence my hesitation at the purchase.

Tiger print and number one fabric is rayon.
