Trenchcoat v Raincost
Soliciting advice... about to buy a Burberry coat. I live in the northeast and beyond a tatty Barbour have no spring/fall layer that can fit over a sportcoat or suit (just a wool overcoat that in both form and function is really a winter layer). Given four-figure investment I'd like to make...- Bleedblue

What do you think of "Tomorrowland"?
Not the movie with Clooney. That was terrible. I've peripherally heard of Tomorrowland but have no experience myself. There's a nice-looking unconstructed sportcoat in Loro Piana wool at Barneys for a still-high $500 on sale; impossible to tell from the website, but looks like it could...- Bleedblue

Private White - any thoughts?
Anyone purchased anything from Private White, especially outerwear? I snagged a made in UK (with Harris tweed wool) wool bomber from JCrew at half-off, but am not familiar enough to know if I'm getting a good deal. Your thoughts appreciated...- Bleedblue

Marlow tassel fit
Any advice from Marlow loafer wearers? I wear an 8D in Barrie/Trubalance (find it a bit loose), an 8E in Park Ave, but an US 8.5D in everything else (7.5UK in Church's, C&J). My foot is on the wide size with a higher instep, but I've only ever taken an E in the Park Ave. Would an 8US in the...- Bleedblue

BB Natural Craftsmanship?
Does anyone have thoughts on Brooks Brothers' Natural Craftsmanship line? All I know about it is that it was priced at a massive premium, but many items are / have been on sale previously for significant discounts - wondering whether there's any increase in quality worth the list prices...- Bleedblue

Alfred Sargent/Peal vs. C&J - case study?
Hi all - At the advice of many on this board, I own a couple pairs of C&Js - one by Peal. I do find these shoes to be gorgeous and high quality, but admittedly am not skilled enough to judge much beyond what I read online. This brings me to my question - an interesting little case study...- Bleedblue

Who makes this BB shoe?
Hi all - Anyone able to identify this new Brooks Brothers suede LWB manufacturer? Based on the price point my guess would be Allen Edmonds, but it doesn't quite match the Macneil. Only other option would be Alden, but seems like a long shot. Thoughts? Thanks! Link here...- Bleedblue

Objective view on this RLBL suit?
Hi folks - Could use an outsider perspective on this suit (http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=49574966&cp=1760781.35256166&view=99&ab=bc_suits&parentPage=family) At this price, I'm struggling not to pull the trigger; I usually grab BB 1818s when I need a new suit, and...- Bleedblue

Manufacturer of these Peals?
Hey folks - Could use an expert eye on determining the mfc of these two Peal shoes. First looks like C&J's Courtenay; second is tougher but price point suggests Loake? Any thoughts on value @ $400 and $150 respectively also welcome. Thanks...- Bleedblue

Are these C&Js a lemon pair?
Howdy folks - Just wore a brand new pair of Hallams out for a 20 minute walk to work, and am now quite concerned that the left shoe is encountering solid loose grain (pics attached). Do the people on the forum concur? I bought these from Barney's, not C&J - so what should I do? Firstly, is...- Bleedblue

Getting the right C&J fit - 360 to 348
Hi folks - Just pulling the trigger on another C&J order after a good experience with the Malton on 360 last (7 UK / 8 US). Shoe is a hair snug but in points that will expand. Looking at the Hallam in 348 last and trying to gauge sizing. I wear an 8E in Park Ave, 8D in Alden-Barrie, and a...- Bleedblue

There can only be one...
Rarely wear black shoes, but find myself in need as my current pair have given up the ghost. Would love a pair that can go from business casual to tuxedo (and yes, I know the rules, and I'm willing to bend them a bit to save my pennies and keep to one pair). Narrowed down to two: C&J Malton vs...- Bleedblue

Hi folks, Long time lurker, first time caller! A quick few words of background. I'm in my late 20s, returning to a name-brand management consultancy after business school.
