Waxed canvas pants recs?

Every time when there is heavy rain, my legs are soaked through and I really hate that feeling. I got a raincoat and a pair of bean boots, but what I miss is pants that keep my legs dry. Any recs for pair of nice looking and durable waxed canvas pants?

US Stores to go to buy affordable dress shirts and shoes recommendation

Hey guys, I am heading to the US, specifically Miami, for the holidays, and next year, I'll be doing a Marketing internship. What would be a good place, both online and/or in-store, to find affordable dress wear?

Demystifying leather belt quality

From reading online, I know that full grain leather is "the best" and top grain leather is "second best" and genuine leather is some of the worst. This is mostly concrete to me, although I don't have a full grain leather belt. I do have one top grain leather belt that is in perfect shape after a few years, and I have had genuine leather belts split and break within two or three wears. But what about everything else? I mostly get my clothes from thrift stores, and come across so many variations of leather descriptions. Two recent examples from pickups: (1) "Aniline Finished Leather - Made in USA". Got this today (it's essentially this: https://poshmark.com/listing/Aniline-Finished-Brown-Leather-Belt-64cbad5c02760bac75b7f672). (2) Coach made in USA burgundy belt made from "burnished cowhide". From my limited experience, these belts feel and look closer to the top-grain leather belt than the genuine leather belts I've felt and worn. Is there a resource out there explaining all of the different kinds of belt leathers? Otherwise, would love to at least learn about aniline + burnished cowhide leathers!...

Local or lesser known Japanese brands?

Iā€™m looking for more localized or lesser known Japanese brands that are hard to find outside of Japan and/or any blogs that list Japanese brands by category like this site (in French): https://verygoodlord.com/marques-mode-homme/ Iā€™ll be visiting Japan and would love to buy a sweater or jacket there for mid season or winter. I am already familiar with huge hits like Kapital, BAPE, Uniqlo. Iā€™d say the closest French equivalent of lesser known brands Iā€™m thinking of that also fit my style are Hast, Officine GĆ©nĆ©rale, Hemen Biarritz, Drapeau Noir. ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ ...

looking for high rise, no belt dress trousers

Looking for a pair of dress trousers that are high rise, with side clasps (no belt), that are medium-grayish to wear with a navy blazer. Looking for something 3 or 4 season too. Iā€™ve tried spier & mackay, suit supply and Natalino and everything that isnā€™t woolen flannel is sold out. I really like these trousers from Natalino but they seem a little too dark to wear with a dark navy blazer. What are your thoughts or recs?...

Winter Coat Recommendations

Need some advice on winter coats. I want something a little more nice looking than just your regular department store winter coat from North Face/Columbia/etc and I think I want a parka, but they seem to be for the very cold weather? I used to wear just a regular insulated winter coat from North Face in weather from the mid 40s to under 0 F. Would a parka really be bad for temperatures in that wide range?
