yep dark brown. thanks.




follow up question:

anyone have any experience with Lands' End Sail Rigger shirts?

http://www.landsend.com/products/mens-sail-rigger-oxford-shirt/id_248653

so the Sail Rigger arrived today. i love everything about it EXCEPT the length. i am afraid it will come untucked in no time at all.

what other OCBD's can i check out that might have a longer tail?

thanks!

You might have better luck finding suggestions in this thread. Are you sure that you need an expensive shawl collar cardigan more urgently than you need another odd jacket?

Kudos to you for quoting him in another thread and posting it in here.

Can someone pin point this brand/model? I want this look so bad! Or suggest something similar would be fine too!

no one is interested in these shoes? they are so fresh!

You sold me.   I'll try out the OCBD and see what the reactions are.  Don't want to be seen as putting on airs by the co-workers, but I won't be wearing a Van Halen t-shirt either.  It's a fine line.

Dude, you're in your 40s. Having buttons on your shirt is a bare minimum.

Did you order the Tall version?

I'd say they are saddle shoes, but not sure which brand or model.

I did a quick google search and saddle shoes look much clunkier. If anyone can please find this pair or a similar one I would greatly appreciate it b

I would agree they are saddle shoes. They just happen to be tone-on-tone and made a little more streamlined than most.

what's more versatile? the beefroll penny or the plain toe blucher?

You need to find one with a single leather or rubber sole.

Plain toe blucher. A penny might be too casual for some situations.

other than Alden, who makes a decent PTB that won't break the bank?

I'd assume all of the usual suspects do. Just depends on what flavor you like. The PTB is a pretty standard shoe.

Just received two LBM jackets from yoox in my quest for a green sports coat. I am not sure which looks best color wise (they both fit about the same IMO - they need some sleeve shortening).
1. Darker green "emerald" more like forrest green

2. Olive/gray color termed "military green"

Personally I would go with the darker (forest) one.
