    Opinions on these desert boots for the summer? I'm very tempted, but just not really sure what I would wear with them:

    I own some desert boots, and pair them with either chinos or dark jeans. I think they look good with either, though my boots are in need of replacing as they are stained from two years of wearing them spring through till autumn.

    Also, they look alright. Not bad at all for £15!

    that actually looks really nice, what colour did you get? any comments? both washes look good
    The mid-wash one, the light one looks a little silly imo. They fit slim at Zara (Medium is 38, Large is 40 etc) so remember to size up.

    They look great. Pretty much everything they sell does to, where is this store/brand located? I've never heard of it before.

    Yeah, think I'm gonna go for them! I tend to mix it up and wear slim fit jeans, skinny jeans, beige chinos and I've just recently bought some grey smart casual trousers, so theres bound to be a few combos there which work....

    Ah, desert boots. It's like living in 1995 all over again.

    Anyone have any recommendations for good clean cut harrington jackets? or any other similar casual jackets.

    Slim fit would be preferable + not particularly keen on elasticated cuffs/waist, or anything that buldges out around the middle like some sort of puffy bomber jacket.

    I got this the other day, great little jacket. Normally a size small, but ordered a medium and the fit is perfect, great quality material as well.

    Opinions on this watch?



    Full automatic movement, crocodile leather strap. Lifetime guarantee as well with Rotary. Was £425 but I can get it for about £170. Would work well casually and with a suit imo.

    how do pull&bear t-shirts fit? I ordered a gillet a while back in medium (my standard size) but it seems like their stuff normally fits small?

    I have one t shirt from there in size small , feels like a slim fit t shirt but not too tight. Pretty impressed with what i've had from there so far, I'd get a size bigger for a jacket though. Small is 36 chest, Medium is 38.

    Thanks man. COS only turned 5 this month, I worked for them for 3 years also so was nice to go back in and spend bit of cash that I don't usually have! They've about 6/7 stores in London, Brighton, Birmingham, Glasgow and Dublin. Mancs has a ladieswear dept at Selfridges but no menswear as yet. They really do have pretty good collections, it's reasonably priced and good quality also.

    I've been after some oxblood/burgundy-ish loafers too but with a more casual sole with just a saddle, no tassel or fringe. Very specific and I'm yet to find it :/. Might end up getting some driving shoes I think. I'm actively avoiding boat shoes!

    Really tempted by this Baracuta harrington, opinions?
    Attachment 142017
    Looks decent, I'd personally go for a beige/navy/black for a harrington though (saying that, I did originally want a red one...).

    Picked up http://www.baracuta-g9.com/sale/B3381G9/5051235289185/f bargain price imo and made in England.
