Bostonian makes a nice light-weight shoe. My pair has held up for several years, still shines well when I refresh them.

 

I have been rocking these rockports for years i get about 10 months out of a set, but im a lazy walker and drag my feel when im tired. that being said before these i loved my bostonians.

might try some amberjacks now that i have 4 stripes and can justify more money on things.

 

I'm lazy as well when it comes to shoes. I bought a pair of slip on dress boots from johnston and murphy. (currently half off) Never buying laced dress shoes for work again.

 

Are there any better options for the slacks and jacket than the trash from M&H? I have ordered from a couple of others (ACA, etc...) and have not found any that match the M&H coloring. Hell, I would be willing to fly somewhere to get them custom-made given the option...

 

Have you tried the tropical? I switched to Tropical pants and blazer last year. It's fine.

 

Yeah, the tropical fabric is light years ahead of the sharkskin. Much better offering. Holds the color better too, IMO.

 

Yeah, I have one of each tropical/sharkskin. Even after being tailored, the fit is horrible.

 

Not satisfied with the ACA pants? Or are you mixing & matching the ACA ‘charcoal navy’ pant with the M&H blazer and the color/texture doesn’t really jive?

M&H is trash for sure. Regional gave me a set, years ago. Awful. Straight to goodwill, thankfully the blazer wasn’t required so I just got a good pair of black slacks. Next company blazer was required, and of course M&H was the outfitter. I should have gone for the tropical, but they *insisted* the sharkskin was better and wouldn’t wear. Should have just trusted my gut. Sharkskin was rough, thick, heavy. The tag said 3 or 4 percent spandex, idk where they hid it. Had them altered, she did her best but they were still horrible and had no stretch in the actual pant material. And were heavy and hot. The “Cody slim flat front” couldn’t be further from a “slim fit.”

Definitely going with tropical this time around. I was hoping to shop around other options especially for the non-blazer months. But as always, come up with few if any options. ACA reviews on that Falcon poly pant are super mixed in general, and the company seems to be trying their best to degrade quality year over year. Jetseam is supposed to have nice pants, but the AA color is TBD (and they don’t make blazers).

 

Jetseam…….

Color match with the M&H blazer is 95% (no issues whatsoever). Super comfortable and lightweight pants! Must buy for sure. They'll even hem it for you if you know the length.
