Are these (https://www.carminashoemaker.us/mens...er-suede-80254) what you're wearing? If so, what are your thoughts? I've been thinking of picking up a pair maybe next month if they do another Memorial Day 10% off sale. I've been eyeing three or four and these were one of them.

Two other contenders:

https://www.carminashoemaker.us/mens...co-suede-80406

Those are the ones. I bought mine in the 300s as these are usually included in various sales.

I chose these because they were derbies vs the closed lacing of the other alternatives. The first ones you linked always bothered me because the swooping line on the side of the shoe. It probably looks ok in person but in the pictures it almost looks like piping so I didn’t temp it. The second pair was in contention because it is not as formal looking as an Oxford closed laced shoe. I like the style but just went derby over oxford. Also these were included in the sale so worth waiting if you like these. It helps also to look whether you want tobacco vs. snuff. To me they look pretty close, though polo suede looks more red but not one of your shoe choices.

You can’t go wrong really.

Lmao thanks for the tip. I still have short arms, so I may have problems anyways.

Is that field jacket this one?:

If so, what do you think of it? I've been eyeing up the brown one, and the 40% off at the moment has me tempted.

No, mines the much cheaper j Crew factory "utility" jacket (no longer available) here: https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clo...y-jacket/H5743

Mine doesn't have a hood or waist drawcord and it's thin, perfect for spring and summer.

The one your eyeing looks really nice, though. Should pull the trigger and report back! Can always return if it's a no go.

You almost got it! The secret is

Actually, I hold my phone upside down, with the selfie cam at the bottom, between my ring and pointer and use my thumb to press the screen.

Love the look!

JCF Field jacket
Ted Baker shawl collar cardigan
Old Navy henley
Gustin Okayama Shadow selvedge
Wolverine "1000 Mile Collection" Luke boot (made in Mexico DSW "exclusive", so not as good as the real deal US made boots, but better than the reviews floating around for the made in China ones. Actual Goodyear welted (mine has a couple small skipped stitches on the sole side) and leather isn't all that bad. Not thick, but not flimsy or corrected grain either).

Thanks guys! Today I'm playing hooky and staying home with the dogs all day in sweats.

Seconding everyone else. Nandyn, you are killing it in this thread and I love the inspiration. I'm going to try and snag some more shots so I can actually contribute.

Aren't you all tired of seeing the same pose by me? Where's all the suited people at?



Target's Good Fellow really nailed it with this chore blazer. Got it in store, but didn't see this one online last I checked. They have a brown one that's similar, but I didn't like seeing the stitching on the outside of the right breast for the inside pocket. Ugly.

J.Crew Ludlow suede CTBs w/DIY dubbing

Also got the "Stiff Collar Stay" collar support on under the polo collar. I'll do a mini review soon, but tl:dr it works really well and can be used on any collared shirt, no sewing required.

I really enjoy your posts. I get some good inspiration and just wish I could put together outfits as well as you.

Looking forward to the review on the collar stays.
