It's been ages since I posted a WIWT. It's a drizzly day in the 30s here in College Station, hence the wool tweed, flannel pants and rubber-soled chukkas. Also, wanted to dress up a bit since Tuesday's my Monday (I work Sunday & get Mondays off); it helps me get moving.
Jacket: JCF
Shirt: CT
Tie: Nautica
Square: LEC
Pants: BR
Socks: Target
Shoes: AEComment

Great fit on that JCF blazer BJ... I received that one for Christmas and love it.
I'm guessing those are the AE Maverns too? How do you like them compared with the Amok? I just picked up the Amoks in tan suede on close out and really like the unstructured feel. I'm going to haven eyes out for a pair of Malverns though... Probably in a darker brown suede like you have. I would like a structured chukka with a rubber sole. I've heard that they run narrow and cause some pain... Did you buy your typical size, or go one wider? Thanks!Comment

Thanks.Originally posted by sabrown View Post
And yes, these are the Malverns. I have the those same Amoks in 9.5D and these Malverns are 10D. The Malverns are definitely sturdier and a bit more formal than the Amoks, given their structure. I have a little room in the toe, but not much. If I were you I would either size up half a size or go up in width.Comment

Great, thanks for the info. I'm a 9.5D typically in AE also, so that was very helpful.Originally posted by bjmcgeever View PostComment

Get the Malverns! I love them. I'm a size 10D in them but I typically wear 9.5D. I probably could have gone down but I'm pretty happy as is with the fit.
Also, Alan and bjmcgeever: Great job! I think the colors are a biiiit matchy w/ the PS and tie there bjmcgeever but honestly it looks really good!Comment

Hey where's my critiqueComment

Jake, I can't get past the green shoes. I don't know whether they're a wonder or a blasphemy.
I think that the green shoes are too much when paired with the green shirt. I like either item on its own.Comment

There we go. It's what I needed to hear.Comment

Same blazer as Alan today! Tried to wear some things that aren't among my favorites, not sure how it turned out:
More accurate colors: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n2t3brh3ovk0vgy/IMAG1884.jpg
Pants:
Jacket: Land's End - on the fence about selling this since the fit isn't perfect (had to get a 40R bc they were out of 38R)
Shirt: Nordstrom Rack
Tie: Cutlass and Moore ancient madder (thrift) - not in love w/ the pattern but it's kind of wintery.
PS: J Crew
Pants: Corneliani for RL
Shoes: C&J brown punch toe oxfords for RL
(yeah, I wear bals w/ trousers with or without an odd jacket, though usually with)Comment

The jacket may not be a "perfect" fit, but it looks good on you. Of course if you do decide to unload it - hit me up!Originally posted by LosRockets View Post
Overall a good look - not sure about the pocket square, but tough to make out the details in those pics. Would like to see the shoes!Comment

Nice jacket! ;-) And you can't mention those shoes and then not show them.Originally posted by LosRockets View PostComment
