What's with the jaundice look?

The model's faces and hair intentionally look wet, the show is inspired by the damp fog of skating through San Francisco.

blk dnm blue leather is the only semi appealing thing but not at the price lol

Their joints would be nicer if they weren't padded.

Yeah, previewed the sales...meh.

^ Whats wrong with the jacket being padded. Do you know how blk dnm leather jackets fit. I usually wear a Large in all my jackets. I normally wear RRL and i got a few APC and Wings & Horns tops too. Im thinking of scooping up the Blk Dnm jacket

Nothing is wrong with it except with it being padded, it looks bulkier and becomes a heavy winter piece only which ironically enough leather jackets don't usually do well in extreme conditions ie snow or rain because the hide will be stained.

Leather is not a heat retaining material so if it's unpadded then you can wear in milder weather and still retain a dope silhouette.

i could not even get on my usual size in BLK DNM leather lol

Get a large but note that sleeves will be long. My medium was too long for me (body included) and ended up getting rid of once I landed a ToJ off grailed.

excellent fit and congrats on the matrimony

Start my new gig on monday, it's "business casual" in an office environment. Any advice for first day fits? I don't want to over or under dress, I'm thinking chinos + ocbd and some wingtip boots. Thoughts?

blaz3n · Jul 17, 2015

Any recommendations for slim dress pants? Any in Nordstrom's sale..

Throw on a blazer. What are the color of the chinos? Worse case if the blazer makes you stand out as overdressed, you can just remove it. Better to be safe than sorry IMO.

Grown up wear right here! Staring to dress like this everyday!

I have a few different chinos, grey, navy, and brown. I have quite a few colors of ocbd as well. Only thing about my blazer game is I only have thicker ones for the winter. Might go cop a lighter blazer since I was going to get some new socks + belts. I interviewed with the company on a casual friday so I couldn't really peep what else everyone was wearing.

That blue jacket caught my eye too. I have the black one and I like it a lot.

I ended up getting mine for $5-something a while back so like you said, it's hard to pull the trigger at that price. Great piece though.

And yes it's padding definitely makes it a heavy/colder weather jacket for sure.

And my arms are relatively long, so the length works well for me.

brovsko congratulations, my man!
