I don't know the brand, (might be something on styleforum) but that's an awesome gift from the wife. Very good call on her part.

So I just got a new pair of casual brown shoes to wear with jeans and my winter jacket is a black leather jacket. I thought it would be tacky to wear these together but I've had people tell me that I'm a freak and it doesn't matter. What are your guys opinions on this?

I wouldn't wear brown shoes with a black suit, but wearing brown shoes with a black winter jacket in a casual way is totally fine. I think the people who say otherwise tend to be the style by numbers type anyway.

I think I'm going to buy this unless people object/have other suggestions. From JCrew, retails for $225 but can get it on ebay for like $170

I want a nice leather messenger bag. Similar to the one I posted above (from Jcrew for $225). What other brands should I consider? Looked at Coach and Tumi. Price would be $400 tops, unless I really needed to spend more to get exactly what I wanted/tremendous value on a used piece.

Ideas?

for awesomeness but >$400. Can probably find a used one for cheaper though.

Saddleback bags look quite nice. Be aware that the thick full grain leather is heavier than you may think.

I got this on sale for under $500, but after reading some negative reviews I'm thinking of cancelling my backorder. I'm looking for a similar weekend size bag though.

Why so keen on leather? IMO it's kind of a played out style at this point, and it's certainly a much bigger pain to care for than canvas or waxed cotton. I have the Filson medium field bag that's made out of oil finished twill and that's been a very good purchase.

It's made by Belstaff, so technically not a JCrew product, just made for J Crew. I read some reviews of the Belstaff bags in a thread on Styleforum.

I know this was in reference to the leather bags, but I disagree about Tumi being overpriced and mediocre. Their ballistic nylon briefcases are absolutely awesome.

Any good Jacket recommendations?

I'm not looking for a winter coat, more of a stylish jacket that has personality. Namely, something that can be worn with relative warmth in winter, while not too layered or heavy for early spring.

In other news, I think I found my favorite pair of shoes:

Bally's

Not quite worth 700+ for, though.

New charcoal Alfani suit plus dark red skinny tie purchased from Macy's today for about $250 total, pics to follow. Fits awesome, seems like it could be worn anywhere.

Had to return a piece of luggage at Tumi and they would only give me store credit. I have 640 dollars and would sell it for a reasonable offer if anyone is interested. PM me.
