Check out Trickers. They make a similar pair of boots. About 150 pounds.
  

I think that pic is from the Ted Baker sale from GILT today, don't qoute me on that though.
I wish they sold Trickers, Loake, Grenson, etc... readily at a store in SoCal or just U.S. in general.

ANd htose blue suede boat shoes with the red brick sole looks great. Damn, I might pull the trigger on those if I see them in the store.

That pic is from the Gilt sale, but like usual Gilt uses a pic of a product they aren't selling...

Ahhh, I see. But as Niidawg suggested, trickers has a similar pair, the same with the brands I mentioned.
Browse around http://www.pediwear.co.uk/ and you'll see some nice boots, although the pics in that website does suck.

The closest you can probably get to a boot like that that are sold and made in the U.S. are Aldens.It's very pricey though.

^ something about the pants irks me

 

[rfx45]

Drake wears a lot of Red Wings so it might be the Gentleman's Traveler.
It is hard to tell from the small pic and I can't see clearly if the soles are white because of the water he is stepping on.
If it has a white sole, it could also be some Red Wing Classic Lifestyle.

For a similar looking boots, check out Paul Smith Ricards, Alden AF89, Fiorentini & Baker Eternity, Fiorentini & Baker Bolan, Paul Smith Buster and Wings & Horn Daytona.

Just started workin at Abercrombie & Fitch ppls...love the fit of their clothes...wat u guys think??

 

[chewtoy112]

Thanks to RFX for the consistent recommendations on 514's. I tried them on for the first time today, and they fit PERFECTLY. I bought 2 pairs. I'm finally starting to discover my personal 'grown up' style. I'm not into khakis/chinos/slacks much, and I'm still a bit iffy on the dress shoes/boots, but I'll stay rocking the dark denim and low profile sneaks. Thanks for all the tips, guys.

 

[chennylou]

Yeah the Levi 514's r FTW lol....I aint kno which style to get till RFX kept sayin 514 lol

I think it's the angle of the pic, I'm a slim dude but these actually fit me pretty well and their the slimmest I can get - Banana Republic Vintage Khakis. It may have been the belt also, the loopholes are irregularly small, had to force my belt through.

Don't mean to knock the hustle, but Abercrombie & Fitch was the steez about two years ago. Aside from that they have a very relaxed fit that is comfortable in the warmer months.

Did you just say A&F has a relaxed fit (meaning loose)?

Seriously? The jeans and the pants?

Relaxed doesn't necessarily mean loose either.

 

[optimusprimeaphia]

514s are the perfect fit for me

i dont know who makes that exact one, but Polo carried a similar model couple years ago. i have one with brown patches instead of grey that i got from Polo. Ticket pocket, working cuffs and purple velvet underneath the color.

I see some popping up on the bay everynow and then ... you can create a search and check regularly to see if one pops up.   

My first thought when i saw that jacket was Thick As Thieves custom...looks very TAT, i think.

I'd prefer that than the opposite. I have a suit, with perfect pants, the blazer fits nice, but just seems a tad too long. Covers damn near my whole butt. I could pull it off, my girl thought so, but to me I cant get over it...so yeah imo, it shouldnt cover ur ENTIRE butt. Then again, i have a big butt

(uhh, no H?)

, i wanted to post a pic to get a 2nd opinion, but I'd feel too much like a female asking "how her butt looks in____"

Can suit tails be shortened by a tailor?? feel like id ask em, get a stoneface, then an expensive price for the work...


Yes, Thick as Thieves can make those for you. I was actually talking to Jason of TaT and was about to order a tweed jacket until I found the Burberry one that fit me almost perfectly. I still plan to order from him sometime this year, I'm thinking maybe a khaki suit for the spring/summer. My friend is getting married in June and depending where it will be held, I'd like to use it as an excuse to get a custom suit. 

As for the suit being shortened, it is definitely possible. As usual, I wouldn't get it shortened to the extreme, maybe an inch or two is max. I don't think it'll be too expensive either, it is jus tlike shortening the sleeves but in a bigger dimension. It's funny because at Nordstrom, I asked how much some of their tailoring were and they quoted me $15 to shorten the sleevs but only $12 to taper the torso on a blazer. I was surprised as my tailor usually charges $20-$25 for waist/torso suppression. Hemming the pants were $10 though so it is expensive but not out of the stretch since my tailor charges $7.

I actually prefer my blazer/sport coat not to cover my entire butt, maybe halfway or a 3rd being covered is ideal for me. Thom Brown started the short suit fad a few years ago but I think the look has stayed and adapted a bit on the current style. 

I need almost exactly the same thing for the same reason...BUT i'm best man at the wedding and my brother wants linen suits (only he(the groom) wears a jacket, we're all in vests)
I want mine to be fitted though, because those tailors at suit-rental places suck and make stupid boxy %!# business Jos.A.Bank type suits

.
Um, if you're in good with jason, could you PM me some info to get some TAT too?

And Agreed, I dont like the jacket covering my butt...at least half, but not more than a 3rd. And I'm tall (6'1, 185), but still, it just looks way better...dont like the "this was my dads suit" look/feel of a long blazer.

514's are nice I just hate the huge leg opening, almost creates a flare.

IMO you should try on 511 sized up, I normally wear a 33-34 and I tried on the 36 and they fit just like 514's but with a smaller leg opening.

Which looks better in my opinion
