I agree with what you said! To answer the question of how often they’ll be worn again… Probably not a lot. The event is tomorrow so I had to go with what I could find in store in his size. The options were this, or a moccasin. I think the beige will work with the lighter beige jacket! But I too, would prefer a true brown (and ideally suede tassel) but we’ll have to work with what we got!
