Teej, years ago my Dad got me some J&M black captoe bluchers that I rarely wore. I had wanted them to be square toe so I was disappointed (!). I rediscovered them this past winter when I was looking to dress nicer, and I realized they were made in Italy, and were made of really nice leather. I love them, and it makes me realize that J&M get a bad rap for their lower end stuff, but you all make great shoes, too. I love mine.

Hi, new to the forum, as a university student I am highly restricted with financial issues so have to be really tricky about the way I build my wardrobe.
I went on a bit of splurge last week, feeling it in my stomach now too
Marlboro Classic grey(ish, brownish) jeans
Some woolly boot socks
And a pair of Grenson Sharps off eBay
(sorry for the crappy picture, camera battery just died)
The Grensons are the first proper shoes I own, I mean I have some other nice leather shoes but with either a rubber sole, or from a cheap brand (ASOS leather soled Oxfords). And boy, I know they are from the G-Two, the Indian made range, but they are hands down quality. The leather is nice and thick, broke in nicely, the construction feels solid and the fit is almost perfect, because of the wide G fitting they are better with thick socks, but hey, they are boots. Was really lucky I got them less then half off on eBay, sure, they are used, but only lightly.

Some international action!
- Custom made tweed suit in Vietnam ($120!!) Will post pics when they arrive, as my parents stayed longer. Also had two pairs of wool trousers made. Fabric choices were mind numbing.
- Also some off the rack wool slacks (30 US for both, hemmed)
- Uniqlo DB Wool Coat Small. My first Uniqlo purchase. Surprisingly loose around waste for what I read was a smaller frame fit
- Beckett Simonson Oxblood Longwings (http://www.beckettsimonon.com/products/hugheslongwing2). Good price, hope they live up to the hype.
- A few ties and clasps from Tie Bar. Excited to see them in action!Last edited by RiveDroit; December 10, 2012, 05:18 PM.

The Wolverines are incredible.. I'm not a hardcore boot person but when I saw these in Nordstrom a few months ago and from a distance of 10 yards they were unavoidable eye catching. Currently saving up for a pair myself, I've toyed with the cheaper nice looking options ala Sebago boot, the JCP stafford, etc. They don't even come close to how good the Wolverines look once they are all in front of you. Definitely worth saving up for these.

Just purchased this. Been wanting this for a long time. Price was finally low enough for me to give in. I Love Gingham.

My bonobos "Bucket Rinse" slim-straight Made in the USA selvedge denim arrived today. It's not bad quality stuff, but...
I hate the fit.
This is a pair of bonobos pants, by God, which should be mirroring the incredible Bonobos chino fit and I'd rather wear my $35 Levi 513s over them. So, so disappointing; definitely a return for me. Guess I'll grab a pair of khakis!
