I own several pair of camp mocs which range from Bass to Ralph Lauren. However, the pair that has always eluded me is the crocodile skin version made by Ralph Lauren. I have spotted them on occasion on eBay, but never at the right price.
If you are curious as what to wear these shoes with, try khakis or flannel trousers. I don't find them appropriate for a suit, but they do pair nicely with your odd coat.

I've worn LL Bean camp mocs in the past, and worn them well.
I have my eye on a pair of Jack Spade camp mocs by Rancourt.
Try Zappos website...you may get lucky...
Cole Haan has nice pair of Lizard driving mocs
I'll take my classic Bass Weejuns :)
The Polo crocodile mocs are really nice. Sierra Trading post just completed a close out of them at $295.00 a pair!
That shoe was made by Baker Benjes for Ralph. It debuted at 400 bucks in about 1980. It went up about 25 bucks each season and I lusted for it forever...and of course, at that time, couldn't afford it. I kid you not (I'm NEVER this lucky), I walk into the old Polo store in Charleston, SC one day and they are HALF-PRICE...this was in about 1986 and the sticker by then was about600 bucks-ish. 325 was a push for me but I HAD to pounce. But they didn't have my size. The Boston store did and they sent them to me. I learned later that a SKU number had been mistakenly transposed and that they were NEVER supposed to be marked down. Within 10 days they'd corrected the mistake. I nabbed mine within the "mistake window". I wore them till they literally fell apart.
Sierratrading post gets a lot of Martin Dingman croc print shoes
