Oxfords Shoes
Opinions on Allen Edmonds vs Beckett and Simonon for Oxfords? Allen Edmonds are on sale for memorial day right now, thinking about picking up either their factory second plain toe (https://www.allenedmonds.com/product/mens-factory-second-carlyle-plain-toe-oxford-3024568/black-ec4011632) or 5th Ave Cap Toe (https://www.allenedmonds.com/product/mens-fifth-avenue-cap-toe-oxford-dress-shoe-3022856/black-ec4001404). Both are 200+$ though, and Beckett Simonon has a 2 for 320 (ie 160 each) sale right now (https://www.beckettsimonon.com/products/dean-oxford?variant=29464404885583).
Recommendations? Shoes will be mainly for working in a suit-and-tie office environment. Also, not sure about the plain toe - for some reason I feel like I normally see some kind of cap toe 90% of the time.

Barbour Jacket Recs
Recently got a gift card for Barbour and want to buy a jacket. Do folks have thoughts on the Bedale vs Beaufort? Thinking the Bedale will be better for a short person (5'7). Also wondering if folks have thoughts on the classic vs regular and the color options.
Also, have heard some recommendations to size up a size?
