Today:

Same cardigan for the last two days:






My boss was asking me why am I wearing the same cardigan all week long

I told her it was for a challenge.

Wj4, your shoe game is sick...I must say, I am fond of your collection

Thanks, man. I'm close to being done.

Once I get baller enough, I'll seek out pairs made from stingray, alligator, etc.

I really hope the weather is nice tomorrow. I've been wanting to wear this sportcoat without an overcoat around campus for the longest.....

 

[curbsideprophet]

Btw, i'm going for more of a casual look....tapered jeans, no tie, etc. Any tips for button ups, shoe combos, hats, things like that?? I need to scan back past these throwback pics to find some good ideas

When you talk about cuffing...are you referring to dress trousers or chinos/jeans?

Hat...fedora or paperboy cap would be cool. Shirt should be easy, as long as you tuck it in.

Dapper it up with a pocket square and you will be golden.


I'm curious to see other members' spin on this.

I came up with an idea of doing the best buys for the fall/winter:

How do you figure your width for Allen Edmonds?

thanks for the reply...
in regards to cuffing.....i'm referring to chinos/jeans. is there a general rule of thumb on cuffing or just all personal preference?

as for the measurements, i was trying to get an idea of the taper on the gstar bronson slim chino. there was talk a few pages back about 7" and 7.5" leg opening.

so is this chino wider at the leg because it's 14''?

Measurements:
Outseam: 41 in
Inseam: 32 in
Front Rise: 10 in
Back Rise: 15 in
Leg Opening: 14 in

Being that they're slim chinos and not bell-bottoms.... Looks like they just doubled the hem measurement. So it looks like they should be 7" across the hem/leg opening

A friend at work takes them for me.  She is leaving soon though, so I am thinking about getting a mini tripod and using timer lol

They have a fit guide on their website - http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/TheFitRightView?catalogId=40000000001&langId=-1&storeId=1

Best would be to try some on though, all models fit different, even sometimes on the same last

As for DB...prom jr year

Man I've been lurking the hell out of this thread.

I turn 28 in a few months and I don't know if it's just me getting older but sneaks just don't peak my interest anymore like they used to. I work for Nike so I can't usually justify buying "dresswear" because my uniform is to be athletic or athletic inspired.

My bigger problem is its almost impossible to buy off the rack. I'm 6'1, 210, 17 x 36/37, sz 14 & honestly don't know my pant size cause it's always odd looking. I know the tips on how shirts/jackets should fit but I'm very muscular so I assume I'll have to get everything tailored but it seems pricey to get every piece custom fit. Thrifting doesn't seem logical because of my build either.

I'm guessing I'll just have to go very slowly about building up my DB wardrobe with custom pieces. I just got some tan Cole Haan chukkas before I lost my discount so those will be my casual go to. I need to know if these Cole Haan's are a wise buy though

They're $130, retail 250. Good quality IMO but I don't want to cop if I would be better off just saving to get some AE for my first quality pair. Granted I'm used to crappy Kenneth Cole or whatever Ross/Marshall 's had in my size. I also think maybe they're not dark enough and I should get a deeper Brown to start off with. I'd like top start with a navy suit and orange tie which I think the tan works but if I also get a light gray suit it probably needs a deep brown or black

I appreciate the hell out of this thread and everyone's insight. And just a disclaimer I do take screenshots of clean fits that fall in line with my style goals, dunno if it's creepy or not

@ Adrian's pics, I really wouldn't have thought that was the same person haha

No. Leg opening at 14" is the overall diameter. It's the same as 7" because when we took those measurements, we only measured one side of the pants where as the 14" accounts for both sides. By the leg opening, it should be a relatively slim fitting chino. There's no rule to cuffing jeans and chinos really, some prefer stacks with cuffing and some don't. Go with what you like.

Ahh, you beat me to it!


No one will ever top Adrian Dang, man...good job!
