@DorianGreen Ahem. Aren't those trousers a bit narrow? But lovely shoes, BTW.

They are. RTW Boss wool trousers I wear at work. It's difficult, at least here in Berlin, to find something decent off the rack.

By the way, I have way too many jackets in relation to to my trousers, have to improve this aspect.

Edit: (sorry for going off thread) today I'm wearing these, the width I like.

And a close-up of the jacket's cloth.

I attended the Boot Camp event yesterday in Brooklyn, NY.

While there, I was sized by Chris Woodford, who is the Managing Director of Crown Northampton and great-grandson of Edward Woodford, who founded the company in 1908.

Chris and crew couldn’t have been nicer. I ordered the Woodford Boot in their Sand Janus Calf Suede (I selected the brown sole option) which should arrive in about 12 weeks.

It was a great all-around event. Definitely looking forward to attending again next year.

Now that you’ve had them for a bit, how are you finding the fit?

Pretty comfortable, they are unlined and very soft. Considering further purchases in other colours.

I think these are 3 years on…

A rainy day, a desert boot with studded rubber sole was the right choice.
