I'm actually interested in what everyone here wears in the rain. I'm sure most of us here own countless pairs of boots and our rotations are probably boots 24/7. But what do you guys wear when it is raining? Extra curious about what @kieran84 would wear in the rain haha

Surf sound sneakers, army lace up boots, and moto engineer boots in the heavier rain.

RM Williams comfort craftsman in black latigo leather. With the rubber sole, and oiled upper, they're damn near waterproof.

I generally go for Chucks when it rains, all of my pairs are leather so they don't soak through like the canvas ones

I have an old beater pair of DH trainers that I wear in the rain. If it's really soggy and I need more formal, I have a pair of paraboots. I just added the SLP combat boots to the rotation too when I'm feeling heavy metal.

Is the le smoking tuxedo jacket designed to fit "short" ? I tried one on that fits body wise but seems a bit shorter than normal. Thanks!

I don't think so, although SLP jackets may sit shorter than more traditional cuts. If you're taller than 5'10" and especially formal, this might be an issue, otherwise it should be fine.

It fits short even by fashunz standards, much less CM standards.

Thank you for the response. I am half an inch over 5' 10" so i hope i can just skate by especially since i don't plan to use this for formal occasions and will wear it with jeans primarily.

It didn't seem too short to me until a couple of acquaintances i was with at the store mentioned they thought it was short.
