Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[pinoy732]

Reno is plenty fine for both calf and shell.

It puts nutrients back into the leather same as a conditioner product would. But the mink oil is the best part about it as it is a water proofing agent.

Personally, I use reno first to clean and condition the shoe. Then 2 coats of wax polish (been using Saphir lately). For shell, you should opt for Reno followed with a coat of cream.

Figured I'd ask in here as well from the DB fam.

Anybody got info on these jeans. They look raw but there's really no way to tell because there's no real description. I know @TypeRPinoY is knowledgeable when it comes to denim. Perhaps you could chime in man?

Just look for a good looking pair of Raws to beat up and work on.

They're raw. Nudie organics tend to fade very slowly tho and slim Jim's are not a very flattering fit to be honest.

Slim Jims are basically toned down bell bottoms from the 70s. Super tight all over with wide leg openings that belong on looser fitting jeans

Grim Tim sized up 1 is what I go with

May help some of you. I know I still have problems sometimes with getting that "perfect" look. I'm pretty particular about my shirts, hate the baggy/folder over look and sometimes I can't avoid it

Is this a statement or a question ?

This, flare has got to be one of the worst problems with "slim" jeans.

Learned about the "Basic trouser tuck" by accident one morning.

I was running late for work and decided to put my shirt on before my trousers and I stumbled upon an easier way to tuck in my shirt without any effort. This has now become the way I tuck my shirts in.

Damn I watch my pops tuck his shirt in for years like that. I thought it was common knowledge.

That military tuck sucks and looks awkward when not in a uniform. I either get my shirt tailored or buy a shirt that's closer to my body.

How haven't y'all been doing that from the start ?

Thanks fellas. I think I'm gonna go with the 21 oz Unbrandeds for the same price. They also offer free hemming if you order from their site. Can't beat that.

 

[ooiron manoo]

This is pretty spot on...

Growing up--I thought it was customary to put your pants on first, then tuck in the shirt.

Does anyone know who makes the shorts on Wiz Khalifa? I dont wear shorts but I am intrigued by the skinny shorts and want to know the designer who makes them.

 

[Humbled]

^ I'm a big Wiz fan but man that's a little bit too tight don't you think? Look like compression shorts

Looks like dudes out here trying to send out that signal that they about that LGBT life. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

IMO Wiz is wearing his size, isn't that one of the main ideas of dressing better?

Yeah. It looks like he's wearing the right size. I think the dude meant to say the pattern overall looks too tight and form fitting.

I honestly thought he was wearing compression shorts. I think it's made out of spandex material for sure. No way it's made from cotton or something that's non pliable because it needs to give when bending and such.

 

[typerpinoy]

got my CM coat. i agree it's a little longer than advertised. it hits just below my knee but fits everywhere else. definitely would not have been able to size down.

It's supposed to be an overcoat, right? If so I think that's fine especially since it's made from tough Harris Tweed.

Man, what?

Can you guys recommend me a brand of slim khakis for people with big legs?

I have big thighs and calves.

Something I can wear to work and then to a nice lounge after work.

 

[sfc415]

Don't buy slim pants; they don't suit your body type. You're gonna look like RG3 in his GQ shoot. Not a good look

I have big thighs but skinny calves so I size up on skinny jeans, but I can't see people with big calves doing the same

exactly. it fits perfectly over a suit or thick sweater
