Hawkings McGill Boot .... and what do I wear with it

[Doug Chalkey]

I purchased this well reviewed boot on Dappered's recommendation and I've worn them sparingly. I plan on wearing them to a casual fall barn wedding, which I'm pumped about, but I can't seem to get over some internal hang up I have that prevents me from wearing them more often. I've worn them (right or wrong) with a light grey suit from BR as well but when I put them on with jeans I feel like a cowboy. Is this some irrational hang-up I'm having? If you own them, what do you pair them with?

[redsubway]

I wear them with jeans quite often, or with cords (actually, I did that today). To be honest, I find that they pair better with more casual stuff because they get pretty creased and worn-in fairly quickly, since the leather is so low quality. Cuff those jeans and go for it!

[nicholascrawford]

Yeah, it's just a hang-up. =) Go for it!

[Doug Chalkey]

Thanks, fellas. Sometimes there are things, for whatever reason, that I can't quite wrap my head around. I figured that it had to be me. Cheers!

I did too felt like a cowboy the first time I wore my Sebago Hamilton wingtip boots. But then I got complimented on them several times. I'm guessing girls like cowboys?

I wear mine all the time. Suits, chinos, jeans, doesn't matter. Constant compliments and at least for me, those boots are just SO comfortable.

[Doug Chalkey]

Nice, MagM. I just couldn't see myself wearing these with chinos because they are a departure colorwise from what I'm used to wearing.

[Sigtweed Corduroy]

Definitely agree with everyone, rock them with confidence.


Which ones are they, the leather or the suede?

[Doug Chalkey]

Leather. I'm pretty rough on my shoes with dragging my feet and all. I haven't come around to the suedes just yet.

Doug-At least with gray chinos, they pop and pair well.
