The men's dress style thread..

[simongt]

Just bought myself a Montgomery duffle coat, the 'real deal', wooden & rope toggles 'n' all - ! Half price @ £150, thus affordable and looking forward to a cold, windy day so I can give it a proper test - ! Described as 'Royal Blue', but it's more of a dark RAF blue / grey, which I prefer. My dad, older brother & sister each had duffle coats many years ago, but I seemed to have missed out for whatever reason.
Sorted - !

How about that for express delivery! Ordered late Monday night, arrived mid-day Wednesday and free delivery to boot!!🧐 I'm pleased with them. They feel quite robust and have a nice, not too heavy, not too light feel about them. I'll put them back in their box till I get round to ordering the suede protector and till spring arrives.🐣🍀🌸⛅🌷

Loake brogues I approve of, but what was a dapper young fellow like yourself thinking buying them in suede?

Just something a bit different. All my dress/smart/smart casual shoes are highly polished leather which sometimes is a bit too much, especially in spring and summer. I'd say they still look 'dressy', so they'll look ok worn with my spring and summer blazer and a shirt and cravat.

Outdoor gear for walking etc (most mornings these days) and seeing as I no longer have to go to a workplace, I will make an effort to dress up a bit for going for a coffee Stylish jumpers, decent shoes, Ben Sherman shirts is my kinda thang

I've considered buying a pair of blue suede shoes but would be worried someone might step on them.

Yeah, but surely it'd be better than someone burning your house, stealing your car or drinking your liquor from an old fruit jar, wouldn't you say?

On the subject, If they were 250 quid cheaper I'd be tempted.

I still have two of my dad's cravats and he's been gone this fifty years.

Maybe £340 cheaper and they'd do as carpet slippers

A guy at worked bought a pair of Crockett & Jones loafers, so it takes all sorts I suppose. For those unfamiliar, Crocketts are outstanding quality, but loafers ?

I bought these a couple of years ago, as you can see they’re now well loved.

I bought a pair of tan coloured, Loake 1880's (top of their range) loafers the other year. They are the only leather Goodyear welted sole shoes I have, the others being Dainite rubber soles. I don't feel safe wearing them, thinking I might slip, even on dry days. Also, they are too 'fancy' for tweed and for summer shorts, no matter how formal those shorts are. 🤔
