You can't be fucking serious. As @Alex says I am pretty sure my granny has a pair (several?) of those. Another pro-brogue voter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4169 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Brogues are alright with the right clothes like. ive a pair of redwing boots that I wear with smarter gear and I love them, expensive mind but will outlast me probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34717 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 If you're not sure which ones they are they look like other brogues but retail at around 3x the price. Come with a free mug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Smith isn't mid market imo. Fair enough if you're getting them for 70 quid a pair though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34717 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I don't actually mind them fwiw, just winding you up tbh. Although I wouldn't wear them personally, they're not my cup of char.

Alex 34717 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Just now, Dr Gloom said: buying designer gear isn't for mugs. buying designer gear full price is. I find if you want something that's a bit more 'classic', if you like (not necessarily really expensive) then it's just not going to be in the sales, unless it's a 'seasonal' colour. I mean stuff like Baracuta G9, John Smedley knitted polo, Lacoste L12 polo. I suppose for more formal stuff it might be a bit different, but I work for an IT firm where I look relatively smart if I wear a £200 suit. I begrudge paying much for work stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4169 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'd rather pay more for classic stuff and buy less. It lasts longer. I have an unholy obsession with Carharrt stuff at the moment which is costing me a fortune mind, so I might just be an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the last couple of pairs of jeans I've gotten were Diesel. Not a massive fan of a lot of their stuff but their jeans are nice. Like Edwin and Evisu too but the latter in particular is just silly prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
