i’ve been kind of disappointed by my hunters. granted, they are delightful looking. one year in the insole started peeling up painfully. customer service was not interested in my whining and gave me nothing. ugh.

Christina – They really are a great boot, rain boot in particular. The slender cut of them provides a nice clean line for my slim denim. At times, I wish I could just buy the digs right off the spot but I actually just didn’t have the opportunity to purchase them myself at Nordstrom because, like I said, they weren’t in my region.

I just want to say how much I love my Hunter Wellingtons. I am glad you were able to find an affordable pair on Ebay. I bought mine while in Chicago for work at the Nordstrom at the shops on Michigan. They were a hefty price tag for me, but every time I look at them I am blinded by love. Yours look great! And now I wish I would have waited to find a pair on Ebay. But you can’t stop true love, can you? Now I feel like I should write a post on mine. Haha

David – Thanks man. They go well tucked in with a pair of slim denim or khakis even, I’ve rocked both before. The sizing is tricky when ordering them from eBay, unless you can try on a pair of Nordstrom or Bloomingdales.

jami- you keep nato looking fresh, count the rain boot loss as just another way of saying, “hey babe. i got my own swagger.” i saw someone else with shoe clips on their flats the other day & thought of you!

Paul – To each his own. We like hearing as many opinions as possible.

I’m not sure I’d wear Wellingtons in the city either…but that could be because I grew up on a farm, and mine were always covered in goat crap from mucking out dairy stalls. If Jeff wants to bring his to the Putnam house sometime, he’ll be perfectly (and stylishly, I must say) equipped.

Here is where I am going to have to make a departure from my full trust of the men of Midwestyle.The rainboots are trashy. Rainboots for men, what Uggs are for women. Ugh.

I just wanted to say that your fits are not only fantastic but are a real breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale mens style blogosphere. This whole blog is great. Keep up the great work!

I'd be on the fence about Hunters for a while (as they're expensive and EVERYONE seems to have them here) but if I could get them for $30 like you did it would be a 'go' especially with all the wet weather we've been having.

Lots of great bargain finds in your outfit, I feel the same way about UO though they do carry some decent shoes.
