[returnbama]

Is this store in Bama?
Any chance you'd be willing to back and grab a pair for me?

Carlin, I seriously hate you. No joking. I hate you.

my fit today:

haha, nice fit man, like that pocket square

 

[omgitswes]

What size are you? The samples were only 9D, but I will call and check for you. All AE outlets ship for free and should be able to search database and see what is available in your size. This is the first time I have seen these "samples" so they may be more difficult to track down.

Weak. I'm a 13 or 14D. Both fit fine.

Where is this store?

LET EM ROCK FAMBS.

KINDA LIKE WHEN IM AT DA GYM.

SHOULDA SEEN THIS IDIOT THE OTHER DAY DOING WHAT I CAN LOOSELY DESCRIBE AS SQUATS.

I KNEW SOMETHING DUMB WAS GONNA HAPPEN.

HE DIDNT PUT DA SAFETY THINGS SO HIS WEIGHTS SLIPPED OFF

AAAAAAND THEN HE STARTED DOING CLEAN AND PRESS. MOTHER OF GOD I WANTD TO SAY SOMETHING.

DIDNT.

When it comes to clothing, I would keep quiet. The guy may have liked the way he looked and may not be a fan of UNKNWN's style. But in the gym, you should have spoken up. Doing things the wrong way there often lead to injury and can't possibly be as effective as doing the exercise the correct way.

Related story: Went to return an incorrect report in another department and a guy I didn't know said, "Why do you wear shoes like that? You should get you some nice Stacy Adams square toes." I chuckled and said I like these just fine....had on Madison Wingtips by Cole Haan. Moral of the story: Everyone is not a fan of what you wear so you don't have to be a fan either.

Where was the guy in the blue suit going?

 

[lyonbc1]

Really nice fits Carlin (thats a steal on those monkstraps) and Adrian (that PS looks dope)

As for me, it was pushing 60 yesterday and today its 15 w/ the windchill and snowing

 

[unknwn]

Dressing up some Jays

Awesome fit man. Scotch and Soda denim?

There is no right answer to this.

Carlin, I seriously hate you. No joking. I hate you.

my fit today:

Tight fight as always man. I'm really digging the lapel flower and pocket square. Some of my best pocket squares are homemade. Did you roll the edges?

Got the AE Neumora in Bourbon color for $80, some kind of sample at the local outlet store

those double monks are on point Bama. You made out for only $80. I'm still looking for a pair that I like.

 

[unknwn]

This may or may not be the correct thread, and lord knows my description probably wont be helpful but……

I see a lot of you wearing bracelets etc.

I have a leather braided bracelet but admittedly I cant figure out how to tie it.


Basically one end has a hoop, and the other end has two loose “strings” that are leather like laces on Sperrys.

How am I supposed to get that on my wrist, secure it, and then make it to where I can slip it on and off?

Help..

I know EXACTLY what you mean man. It's really hard to explain without actually showing you.

I had my girl do it, it's much easier when someone else does it.


For the switch comb, I found this. Looks exactly the same, not sure if it is actually the same though.

Amazon product ASIN B000V99G00

 

[wj4]

you should get a dressier belt. the one you're wearing looks very out of place

Yep. Any dress belt would work as oppose to the workwear one the gent has on.

Anyone who got 484 jeans from jcrew, how does the fit compare to Levi's 514 or 513? I'm looking for something between those two.

484 is slimmer than 511 so it wouldn't work for you. 484 is the slimmest pattern I have. On a size 31, leg opening is 7".

Double monk brother!

Adrian enrolled in a sewing class as a last GE course before graduating

We should start voting for the next challenge now. We can just keep it simple and have those who participate regularly voice their opinion. We will then. Count the votes on the weekend and have the challenge be in effect Monday.

info on the pants? blue herringbone? nice pickup on the AE's.

 

[wj4]

Long time lurker and fan of this thread.  I've stolen a lot of ideas from a lot of you.  Sorry about the horrible pictures.  I'm not the greatest with lighting, angles and all that good stuff. 

Critiques are welcome.

Welcome! The first jacket looks too small for you. I can see the fabric pulling by the buttons. The tweet jacket looks super nice though.

Yep, only size 36 left

+1 That first jacket is definitely too small on you. Would you mind posting a picture where we can see that tweed jacket in full?

I love the wrist wear man
