Mr. Charles I hope you post a picture when the jacket shows up. I'd really like to see it.

Back in October I pulled the trigger on the most expensive clothing item I've ever bought - a leather jacket. I bought the Taylor Stitch x Golden Bear Moto jacket (point collar) in espresso. I've been waiting for months for it to get thought production. Finally, it shipped last Monday with a delivery date of last Thursday... only to be lost in the flustercluck that is USPS right now. I'm hoping it'll show up soon, but who knows... the wait continues.

Heavier canvas and real leather so it is a bit of an upgrade for a real good price.

The last of my recent shoe purchases came today:
H.S. Trask "Aaron" sneakers in navy suede, with Guarded Goods flat waxed laces in "sapphire" I swapped in.
Really well made using think, soft C.F. Stead suede and fully leather lined with sidewall stitched sole. Came with your standard 8mm navy laces, but swapped them out for a pair of flat waxed laces. A couple shades lighter than the shoe, but I love the neater look the narrower 6mm laces give and don't mind the slight contrast.
Also, here's the above Frye sneakers with brown waxed laces swapped in.

FedEx Easter bunny delivered the Sneaker version several days early!! (Please excuse the lizard legs).
Here they are next to the slip on version from above:
Looks kinda like a football with the cream laces. I've got some brown waxed laces from Guarded Goods on the way (my go to for all my laces).Last edited by Nandyn; April 13, 2020, 12:52 AM.

Just got these new Italian made Frye slip on sneakers.
Really nice, thick full grain leather, leather lining and removable leather lined insole plus dust bag. Sidewall/channel stitched to a Margom sole. Not too shabby for only $44 shipped. Definitely a keeper and I've already got the lace up version on the way.Last edited by Nandyn; April 9, 2020, 05:14 PM.

Thanks guys. I was kinda on the fence, but BR is decent quality at this price point (~ $70) I think, and as I said been meaning to branch out beyond brown shoes (although I guess it's a moot point while we're all stuck indoors).

A good looking shoe.
Originally posted by Tacitus View PostPicked these up during the last BR sale - my only pair of black shoes are cap-toe oxfords, which are a little on the conservative side, so I was looking for something more casual for everyday office wear. What do you guys think? Mainly looking to wear these with slacks + sports coat, etc.

I think those shoes look pretty good. Makes me wish I had picked up a pair - in brown - too.
