i stopped by cole haan when Nike bought them. the quality control suffered mightily with that transition. i wouldn't wear them again unless they changed ownership.

Johnston - Murphy has a premium line with Italian made business shoes. Terrific, soft calfskin leather for around $200 on sale.

They're great for travel too as they are super comfortable for long periods on your feet and slip off and on with ease. No shoe I wear gets noticed more than my Cole Haans.

Welcome to 2013 my friend. Pretty sure I recommend similar Cole Haans back then. I still love them for form and function.

the desire for well made shoes qualifies as a "hang up'? it's good to hear that their QC has apparently improved in the intervening years and you're enjoying them.suit yourself
For anyone without such a hangup, these are awesome, well made shoes

So headed to Portugal/Spain. Time to go shopping. Need to pick up some good pants for travels and the some GREAT polo shirts to have flexibility. So where do I shop for the best polo shirts? I'm a noob. Strictly Nordstrom polos or the Calvin Klein's on sale at Costco. Don't worry it's not my only fashion but want in a pinch..Also how about some great lightweight short sleeve shirts for shirts untucked? Only have 2 weeks until I go so no custom ordering..

For a great polo, look for mercerized cotton. Here's one example that will work well https://www.canali.com/en_us/bordeaux-mercerized-cotton-jersey-polo-shirt-t0458mj00002951.htmlJudge Smails said:

Was in Chicago last month for work and one of the guys get tickets for our group to a Cub game. It was only a 2 days trip and I did not bring any type of casual comfortable shoes to wear out. I run out to Nordstrom's to see if I can find something. I have plenty of shoes at home so I don`t want to spend much and ran across these on sale for around 30 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Ben-Sherman-Percy-Laceless-Sneakers/dp/B07N7J47M7
They looked OK to wear with jeans and were very comfortable so I bought them. We were with a group of 12 people and one of the younger ladies says. "Where did you get those shoes?" I tell her and she says she is getting a pair for her hubby the next day. Then 2 of the guys say they like the shoes and I am thinking I have worn 200 dollar shoes and nobody says a word. Now I am getting compliments on a cheap pair of canvas shoes? Maybe I should order more if the different colors.

i've been buying these Goodfellow polo's from Target. they are great. they fit me well and have a good feel.
Bull Dozier
Footballguy
I've found the Goodfellow stuff to be hit or miss. I haven't tried the polo's yet. Some of the material on some of the stuff seems wonky, and I may have been scared off by some of the reviews that say there is a big gap between large and medium, and I am often in between. I do like the mens care products.
mr. furley
Footballguy
the chino's are great, too. i'm at the office wearing a pair now.
i'd say like any of the mass produced garments at Target, Gap, etc. there's going to be some variance even in the same size articles of clothing but it's not a huge disparity or anything.
it's great filler for office wear if you aren't in a high powered, presentation-is-everything, type setting.

looking for some casual boots to wear with jeans
this is a regular problem for me. i search & search, give up, then randomly stumble across a pair that are at least passable for the season. haven't stumbled across any pairs i like for this winter.. which means i'm stuck wearing the same pair i've had the last 4 winters. they're worn flat, beat to hell & have no more grip on the sole. it's going to be like walking on black ice.
as my wife likes to say i'm "super picky". i'm not a fan of the dress boot look. not a fan of the Doc Martens look. don't want construction type boots.
in the past i've tended to wear moc toe boots most & in the distant past Timberland field boots.
the trouble now is, locally, there aren't places for men to shop for things like this. there's not much in between Payless and dress shoes/boots at places that sell men's suits.
what are the online outlets for casual men's boots? i can find Amazon and Zappos just fine but which sites specialize in men's boots? are there specific online retailers with a large selection i'm missing?

Say no more fam. Barneys is your one stop shop for all booting needs. I'd lean toward something like this. 5% off as well:

Red Wing boots. Their wheelhouse is "construction style" boots as you call them, but they have moc toe, and other styles as well. They are not cheap, but very well made. And, when the sole wears out, just send them in to get re-soled and the boots you love and have broken in are like new.
I have a pair of Iron Rangers, a year and a half old. Wear them 4-5 days a week and the soles barely look worn yet.

Business casual button down shirts

Doable? I'm having a hard time. There are some at Express, but solids only. I'm looking for some patterned options (think https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=491177012#pdp-page-content )

all :style: schtick aside, you really can't go wrong with Frye boots. Classic styles that hold up and great quality. Lots of nice looks for $50 off. Major recommends the Scout Boot or the Korver Utility: https://www.thefryecompany.com/collections/men-promo-boots

I think the word you are looking for is fickle based off your other posts in here
Boots are something I am willing to spend on. First, they are like double the material of shoes. Second, nice boots get noticed. Third, nice boots feel great on your feet
I am a big Paul Smith fan for boots. You can get them on sale if you watch

i'm quite the opposite of fickle. tend to stick with what i know and ride it out for a long time. hence, somewhat being stuck in a boot rut and trying to find a way to break out of it. i'm ready for something new but i'm having a hard time changing.

When they made them in the US, the quality was impeccable. They had a factory in upstate NY that I was able to call into and get the last 2 pair of boots in a particular style that was planned to be discontinued. They took my order right over the phone and shipped them the next day. Since moving the production facilities to, irrc, Mexico about 15 years ago the quality has been spotty.Major said:

One of my projects this year was a loft in Soho...the street level space in the building was used for rotating sample sales, so I'd stop in after my weekly site meetings if there was men's stuff. I bought a pair of Paul Smith sneakers and boots at one...love both. Either are usually too much for my blood, even on normal sale, but got both for 100. Wish I had bought another couple pairs tbh.wilked said:
ETA... And I'll throw my hat behind the Frye and red wing suggestions too...epsecially the latter, which are typically more "work boot" which imo makes them cooler than "style" boots that are meant to look like work boots.
