J.Crew Ludlow Loafers



Picked up these J.Crew Ludlow loafers at the sample sale in NYC. $100. Not a bad deal.

They're pretty much sold out online. Run a little snug, but overall a comfortable, nice looking shoe.

[MENTION=15925]md_s[/MENTION] do you know anything about the stitching or lack thereof on those CPs? One of the arguments for CP sneakers is their longevity, but if these are glued then I would be a little wary.

The chelseas are goodyear welted.

The chelseas are goodyear welted.

Very good. I figured they might be, but when I checked the website they didn't seem to go out of their way to make that known.

My recent purchases:
The Tie Bar navy knit tie, JCF merino wool V-necks in Camel and Navy. Trying to work ties and slightly more formal sweaters into my daily rotation, so figured these were a good place to start.

Ordered a no cuff Navy beanie today.

Recently purchased pair of Lanvins, very sold construction and very comfortable.

Bought this on an impulse off eBay for $50 shipped.


Small Bills Khakis Broome Street 100% wool quilted sport coat. Made in Reading, PA and supposedly a pretty thick twill/tweed (nearly 3.25 lbs total weight). Here's the listing for a medium: http://www.ebay.com/itm/112213592947

Interesting color choice they went with for a fall/winter sport coat, but the Donegal like flecks make it seem appropriate for colder months. Hopefully I'll be able to pull off the light color... Other listing's pictures show it more cream/beige/natural so we'll see when I get it.

Also bought two Driggs fit pants from JCF: one in flex navy "Donegal" (cotton/synth blend) and the other cotton herringbone in dark coal.

After successfully resisting any and all Black Friday/Cyber Monday temptations, and falling into a nostalgic Timex rabbit hole yesterday, I did finally cave today and ordered a cheapo $25 classic Camper (in the original, petite 34mm size).

That's a nostalgia trip for me. The camper was my very first watch, when I was 12 years old. It's still running 6 years later as a shit-kicking watch, without a battery change or anything!

I bought 4 pairs of their Driggs chinos (2 flex and 2 broken in) about a year ago on a whim, and fell in love with their fit. I just ordered another pair and the fit is nothing like the other 4. Leg opening was wider, and the overall fit was much looser. I returned them.
