Try the 510 Levi's Commuter. I have heard good things, yet to try em out myself. They are like $88

I guess casual was the wrong word. I'm looking for some nice looking good quality dress pants, similar to these.

Casual is the right word. Dress pants are the wrong words. Those are chinos.

If you want something cheap, look at Levi's and J. Crew as mentioned.

If you afford mid to high $100, check out epauletnewyork.com

Random question, who prefers their jeans with a button fly rather than a zip fly? I am starting to only buy button flys...yes it a small detail, but lol i was thinking about it since i am looking to purchase some jeans...

preferably black coated skinny jeans..nothing over 150..any suggestions?

 

[robin thicke]

I prefer button fly.

Only time I don't is when I gotta pee

Facts inly

 

[typerpinoy]

Haven't had zip fly jeans since high school

Black Powder Stretch from Naked and Famous is nice but has a zip so probably won't work for you.

I like both. Downfall of button is if yours is broken and no local tailor has the means to repair, you'll need to send in for repair.

I prefer a button fly, but the black stretch N&F is without a doubt my favourite pair of jeans and dare I say pants period. I paid $140 for them and if N&F decided to raise the price to $280, I would still say they are worth it (and truthfully speaking, I hate N&F overall). The cut, sheen, etc are just perfect.

Anyone have experience with the Banana Republic trenchcoat? Works out to under $200 with their 35% off. Way better than the $1,000 I was planning on spending on a Burberry (yes I know you can't compare the two).

 

[diewitsjames]

That Flyknit/Suit fit

Awesome feature Elkin!

which flyknits are these?

 

[nazdrowie]

picked up some chinos from lands end canvas...was pleasantly surprised by how the pants feel. much thicker than normal chinos, and stiff when wearing them. guess i got to break them in. seem like good pants for the cold since they are thicker. 

edit - upon further review i cant keep them they are a bit too tight in the thighs region and are a really low rise...material felt great though

I got a peacoat hybrid years ago and I like it. For around $100 that I paid I cannot complain, I cannot.

 

[typerpinoy]

It's not a fair comparison. One is cotton and the other is wool.

Need some opinions ...  

I have this suit and Im wearing it to a wedding in a few weeks.  Not wearing the vest with it.

Need help picking a shoe, I want to wear brown wingtips. 

Was leaning towards these Johnston & Murphy Shoes

OR

These Alfani shoes in Cognac

 

[soleasian]

if those 2 are your only choices, the bottom one

 

[typerpinoy]

#2 of those. #1 should never be worn ever

 

[illmatickal]

illmatic,

Nice fits man. Really digging the watch, going to look into one of those. Info on the socks?

Thanks! I got the socks from Uniqlo last year

You don't like those Lunargrands?

#neverforget

 

[typerpinoy]

anything with a bright sole reminds me of them

 

[steamin beamin]

J. Crew suit came in decent will need some work though

 

[pinoy732]

I think you should've sized up steamin.
Honestly though, with your build, if that's the ludlow, I don't think that cut works well for your frame. Being that you have such a large football player stature, going MTM may be a better option over off the rack.

 

[steamin beamin]

Yeah I have Issues with my cutting and bulking phases I can move from 240 to 225 in a matter of weeks. Right now Im heavy so i gave it a shot, I agree with the MTM comment problem is I live in Central Louisiana so my options are bleak. Since we're on the subject is there anything I can do to save it or is it box it up time? Its a 46L by the way
