** Got it! **
The Elias in Houndstooth w/ Blue Check color style by Keep Shoes. I've only heard of this company casually before now and have never owned a pair until now. Well, I still don't know own it since shipping is going to take a few weeks... Like the sustainable corduroy tanish color and the checker accents. The strap is okay too...but will have to get used to it. Usual price is around $85, copped @ JackThreads for $40.
Keep was originally designed for women, but have since been marketed toward unisex wear (for shoes and some apparel). Their intention is to redact the bells and whistles found on most current clothing and keeping it simple but well constructed. No more clown business.
