Thoughts on the following companies for loafers: - Ferragamo - Allen Edmond - Thursday boots I know they are in very different categories. Just wanted some general feedback on them.

I have been wanting a Collars and Co shirt for a long time now but couldn’t convince myself to pay $80 for basically a collar! Yes, I’m frugal. So when one of my suppliers started offering the same style for less than $30 retail I bought every color they made. I’m wearing one for the first time today. The comfort is fine. I did put on an undershirt because I was worried that the polyester material might be cool on a 38 degree day. If has a very slick finish that I am not a fan of honestly. I have never owned a Collars and Co but suspect it is the same material. My problem is this, I realize that Collars and Co did the development work, did the advertising and built up the popularity of the shirt. They deserve to be reimbursed for all of that. On the other hand, I suspect the shirt comes out of the same area and probably the same plant as the Collars and Co shirt. My final justification was that it will be worn as a layering piece and only a small amount of the shirt is actually seen. What are your thoughts on this subject?

So today the gentleman that stepped into my life has a spiritual father figure gifted me a barely used pair of red wing chukka boots. Now as you know I have a side gig of cleaning/waxing and polishing boots But he told me red wing guys have some kind of strict routine they use on their boots so please educate me on what’s needed to take care of red wing boots P.s. yes this is my first pair of redwing boots

Gentlemen, over the next few days, I’ll be posting a series of rapid-fire questions to get us talking. The goal is simple: answer with the first thing that pops into your head! Hopefully, this sparks some great debates and helps us get to know each other’s tastes a bit better. Let’s dive in. 1. The one bottle you’d keep if you had to lose the rest? 2. The fragrance everyone loves but you secretly hate? 3. Your most complimented bottle? 4. The best "cheapie" in your collection ($30 or less)? 5. The bottle you bought for the hype and now regret?

I am a member at a gun range. Formal dress is jeans and a sweatshirt or t-shirt. I like to be a bit better dressed than that, but I also have to wear so thing easily washed due to GSR. My first thought is jeans and a long sleeved Henley. Any other ideas? Thanks!
