I just received these today. They are indeed on the Barrie last (so go down half a size) and they’re a couple shades darker than the stock photo on J.Crew’s website. J.Crew also describes them as waxy, but the leather is more soft than oily.
I also hear that a suede version might be in the works? Hmm…
Some looks are now available online for Margaret Howell’s SS10 collection for men. The styling is pretty boring this season (kinda APC-ish), but I’m sure the pieces will be much better on their own.

February’s issue of Men’s Ex is a brief study of Italian style. I’ve scanned a few parts from it, and the first couple of pages explain the differences between the tailoring styles of the various regions by looking at different parts of the suit, such as how the sleeves are set in or how open the quarters are. I should point out though, that these generalizations are not always so black and white.
Here’s one to bookmark: Tailor Caid Days
CA Republican gubernatorial candidate Ronald Reagan, clad in cowboy attire, riding horse outside while on campaign trail. 1966.
New made in Maine moccasins from Ralph Lauren. The leather is a bit oily and they’re a more snug across the top vamp compared to the Quoddy made versions, but are otherwise the same.
More stores are starting to receive their second Spring/Summer shipments from Engineered Garments and Odin has just put up more pieces for sale including the new aviator WG and Highland jackets. If sales are anything like they’ve been in Japan, the Highland jacket seems like it will be the second most coveted item from this season after the red chambray workshirt (now sold out everywhere).
See the rest of the items on odinnewyork.com.
