Thinking about getting some suede bucks to wear with Engineered Garments and Needles type stuffs.

Saw some Woolrich Woolen Mills white bucks in London that I liked. Can't find them online, only pictures of them I can find are from the lookbook (sorry about douchey bandana man):



They have leather soles (rather than red brick) which I like. Otherwise I'm guessing they're pretty much the same shape as McNairy/Sanders bucks.

Or how about dirty bucks like:


McNairy.

or sand:

Sanders

I'm leaning towards white bucks and the WWM ones in particular, but resisted immediate impulse buying in the store and thought I'd post here.

Any other brands/ suggestions? I know Walk-over and J-Crew do cheaper bucks but they look kind of meh to me. I like the idea of some suede Trickers but they're probably a bit chunky not to mention more expensive.

I think the white bucks look the nicest out of the three, if you can get a hold of them for a decent price then I would do that.

Anyways, this in woodland green. Yay or nay? Would jump on camel, but not in my size.

Short is fine, I like it, but its the 3 buttons I'm not sure about.

 

[futuresailors]

Agreed, but it looks like it might be a roll 2.

Interesting I didn't even think that the lapel may roll back when it's unbuttoned, it's funny the site doesn't give any indication of this.

What sort of pants do you usually wear? With denim I prefer dirty bucks. White bucks are nice but have very warm-weather connotations. They're not like white sneakers. If you wear a lot of khaki toned pants though you may want to go white b/c dirty bucks don't offer much contrast with tan pants. If it were me I'd also choose a crepe or leather sole over red. I like my red brick soles but they're getting dated in the context of men's contemporary, and make the shoes an ounce less versatile, colorwise, and more definitively preppy.

can't really decice which color, the dark dust ones are probably more suitable for spring/summer

The WWM are made by cheany I think so you could just order a pair direct from them

Thanks for the replies, shoreman especially!

I was thinking of pairing them with olive pants and shorts mostly (really want some Post Overalls shorts), maybe sometimes light faded denim. I wasn't planning on wearing them year round or anything like that. Though I was hoping they would be fairly versatile - I don't actually own any white sneakers - and would want to rock them in the distinctly average English spring/summer climate.

Definitely agree when it comes to red brick soles, though its quite hard to find bucks without them. I think that's half the reason I'm leaning towards the WWM ones.

I'll check this out, I had assumed Sanders made them.

Not a fan of brick soles.
I've handled those Sanders. Felt great overall. Robust construction and nice thick sole. Also saw a dude wearing them a while back and they looked great worn in.
