a little basic i know... any other options for a rugged carry-all which goes with the stuff i wear?? earthy florals, kapital, junya patchy stuff, EG etc.

I like that bag, but measurements suggest it's big. More like a carryall/ weekender than a daily carry, I think

It's okay, but you may as well go for this from Dries van Noten:

Thanks again!
FWIW! This is the one that I like and available in my size

Any opinion appreciated!

Crikey. Regency Hi-tops. Get them, because nobody else will dare to. Add some big gold buckles.

Thanks! Probably not since I cannot try the shoes before buying them. I just make sure to visit the John Lobb factory store the next time I travel to London.
I have an eccentric taste. I like to have a pair hi-tops sneakers. But I do like neither the flimsy canvas made nor the bulky "gold buckles" Italian made. If these had the top 2 D-ring eyelets or equivalents, the shoes would look better more rugged. If they are comfortable like the brown Chelsea that I have tried, I wouldn't mind wearing them.

Keep or return?

What brand?

If you do a lot of business casual I would personally keep them.

Thanks! John Lobb! They are on sale from last season.
They are really comfortable with perfect fit and strong support.
I keep them since I need a pair of Chelsea boots anyway.

Thanks dude! Yeah I kinda need something this size.. I like to lug around my gym gear as well... part of me feels I can get something better though.

@LA Guy i don’t really like dries for most accessories or shoes..

Don't need, but I kinda want.

@penanceroyaltea I feel like this would be right up your alley: https://shop.havenshop.ca/products/hobo-cotton-canvas-round-shoulder-bag

Thanks @LA Guy

I want them to wear with some Lemaire stuff - White denim, 'rust' chinos (brownish-red) and some baggy light wash Chimala jeans. All in the 8-9" hem range.
Right now it's between these:

And I'm also considering these:

So apparently I would need an 11 in both of those Vibergs, and those were sold out. Both of them. And I'm pretty sure the Visvim wouldn't really work for me, even though I like them.

So now I'm thinking about one of these:
Vibergs from NMWA - I feel like I've seen Kyle wearing these with white/ecru denim too but I can't find that photo. Maybe it was on IG?

Spoiler

Or one of these Officine Creatives.
I'm not a big fan of the thinnish, distressed sole or curled (?) toe on the side profile, it remind me of the artisinal style boots (CCP etc) which I really don't like. Actually I can comfortable say I hate them. But that doesn't look like a problem when it's on foot. @dieworkwear you had recommended I look at Officine Creative a while ago, do you own any?

Spoiler

Get the Vibergs and change the laces, you will not be disappointed

Personally, if you can swing it, I would go for the Visvim for the hell of it. Buy what you like, it's not going to look any more different paired with Lemaire.

I bought a pair of OC boots once and didn't like them. They had that sort of artisanal style boot feel, as you noted. Im sure not all are like that, but it didn't really feel right for my wardrobe, so I returned them.

Worth it? I want a long slouchy somewhat chunky cardigan that's not so unwieldy I can still wear to work. This seems like it's a good option. Thoughts? Perhaps other recommendations if not this?

Seems nice. Personally like ts(s) cardigan more for that sort of look, but the two places I know that sold it are out of stock. Maybe there are other shops carrying it.
