I really like the tie in the first combo too.<br /><br />I want to second Mike in reference to the shoes, they do look a bit lightweight for 'heavier' clothes.

Heavy brogues might have been a better alternative.<br /><br />Same with the dufflecoat. I think, I'd prefer boots to keep the balance.<br /><br />Best,<br />MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505778964979801887noreply@blogger.com
