Mostly just the branding, but they have a different poron insole on Brooks model, and some Brooks models have the combination rubber sole on top of the leather sole

I thought just branding and the insole did look a little different.

Thanks again for mentioning this. I missed out the first time glad I could get something this time. Saved $593 from retail price. Simply can't beat that.

I'm still SMH for buying Walnut Strands for retail before I knew about this thread. Could've got them so much cheaper. Feel like they are always on sale.

If anyone knows good shoe tree sales going on now please LMK. I need to order two of them for these new shoes. Thanks.

Edit: This dude Nate on the phone was pretty hasty. He messed up my order the first time he read it back. Then said he had to check on one pair because it was in store. He said he'd call me back and let me know. I emailed to confirm order...no response. Whole transaction went so fast. I feel like I'm not gonna get order confirmation, or shipping confirmation, and they're just gonna show up one day

How long does it typically take to arrive from the time you place order? Aside from ReturnBama who's been great, customer service gets a 4/10 from me so far

Topy soles on the BBs

 

[returnbama]

Sorry about the service man, you will not always get confirmation or shipping, but should have the shoes by Tuesday or Wednesday I would say

So about those $400 suit suggestions ... ?

Suitsupply! They're about 469.

Also don't sleep on ebay, just check and double check before buying

SS is great but if you need alterations (you will) you'll run over budget. Taxes in NY alone will put you over $500.

Perhaps wait a bit until jcrew factory hits a sale then buy from them for around $200 and put the excess funds towards altering.

If Dalton's were there, you would fall.

For some reason I think these KD VI look nice casually

How to Transform a Three-Piece into a Triple Threat, Starring Idris Elba

The Convertible of Suits
The three-piece is back, in part because it can go from formal to laid-back as fast as you can swap the pants for jeans.

Aggressive Business Tactics
To dial up the ballsiness of a three-piece, get a pinstripe power suit. Then add all the sleek trimmings: A striped semispread-collar shirt. A narrow repp tie. A tipped pocket square.

Channel Your Inner Stringer Bell
Daring. Poise. Assurance. Something about a three-piece—it must be buttoning into that vest—has a way of making a man feel bulletproof.

A Look for the Look-at-Me Era of Menswear
The suit of the season is the bold, assertive Prince of Wales. You can wear it with a shirt and tie, sure. But to really announce yourself, go for a turtleneck. (Note: People will comment.)

Yeah I was torn between monk straps and loafers since I don't have either right now. Figured loafers would be better since I'm just starting to expand my dress footwear. I'll wait a little before the monk straps.

Tried looking for this one on suit supply. They don't have it with the vest
