Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[thenewjs23]

It's pretty well known that luxottica makes most higher end sunglasses

I thought this was common knowledge. There are Luxottica workers on ebay that sell the stuff way cheaper.

I kind of put two and two together when my mom's Gucci and Ray Bans both came with Luxottica literature.

Not to mention the Luxottica outlet in europe.

guys, you dont have to justify your expensive purchases. If you want to spend X amount on anything, more power to you. If people dont like it, disregard them.

Btw, any recommendations on a chunky wool shawl collar cardigan. Preferably below 200.

Im hoping for it to be 100 percent wool..any suggestions?

I don't think anyone on this forum can throw stones regarding expensive or frivolous purchase.

I have never once dropped, sat on, lost, or forgot my sunglasses anywhere. The price forces me to be more conscious about stuff like that.

My problem is I would angle them on top of my head or hang them on my shirt neck. Then the only time they ever fell off my neck or head, they shattered and I was like OMG!!!, $200 shades just shattered.

I don't know how you do it, you keep them on indoors and stuff?

Nice coat. Is that considered a chesterfield?

He can answer whether it technically is or not and what brand it is but at first glance it looked like a Superdry Town Coat because of the contrast under the collar (not that they're the only company that does it)...I don't know if that's on RFX's level though. They have a really cool shade of blue I like and an oliveish. The only thing I don't like is that if you flip the color, the logo is on the back. I was looking for something because I have enough black, grey & navy as well as a camel coat but I just don't know if I need another.

TOJ info request from anyone who has ordered or contemplating an order… What's the current delivery time frame? 4-6 months?

I'm approaching month 5 and I'm really hoping it comes in soon otherwise I'll have to wait until next year to wear it. Debating putting in another order before the cut-off which is said to be in like a week. Something along the lines of this:

 

[blaz3n]

Since, we're discussing sunglasses.. what do you guys wear for eyeglasses? I'm looking for a new pair, preferably tortoise print.. I'm currently using a Ray Ban tortoise print (these), but I'm leaning towards a pair of Persol's; specifically this pair: http://www.lenscrafters.com/lc-us/persol/713132371381

 

[urbetterthenme]

awesome pants (gotta be able to pull it off though, that circa 98

Are they really closing the curtains this time? I haven't followed the thread in a year or so. By my departure of the thread, there was already talks about closing up the firm.

I have both black and tortoise original wayfarers and I would definitely recommend them. You really can't go wrong with any of their styles

Whenever I need a new pair of eyeglasses I'm going to check out Warby Parker.

Thanks for your input.. I will definitely try to check them out tomorrow

Yeah, I am a fan of theirs.. but they don't really have many tortoise print glasses I like.. unfortunately there was a special edition one i wanted earlier in the year but thats all gone now

 

[storm2006]

Tbh I just like expensive things and the particular pair of shades I have just really stood out to me. It's just preference really in the case of shades.

I guess. People prob feel the same about a like of things. Its all good. I get upset at people who drink fiji

 

[scarsorscabs]

Ridic.

Hmm...is sleeve pitch because of poor fit or poor construction? Or both? I distinctly remember a couple people who'd posted suits here with the issue. If it's not because of construction, it definitely makes a suit look cheap.

To be clear, I'm talking about when it's anywhere near the level depicted in the illustration.

 

[true tech]

finally hit my goal weight of 215, down from 240 earlier this year, gotta keep it going through xmas though. Good and bad, my go to navy blazer fits better, no more pulling at the button. bad news time for new jeans and belt  

 

[rfx45]

Grats on the weight loss.

Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead.[/QUOTE]

It is about your arms neutral position and posture, this differs from person to person. Sleeves rotation can usually be fixed by a tailor as well but most probably would not deem it worth it price-wise and likely the skill needed to do it. I guess it is more of a bespoke problem and with off the rack suit, you just got to go with what fits you best.

I think I *FINALLY* found a suitable substitute to the W+H x Dayton service boot...
