Dressing Better Vol 2.0

I tested the25% code for JCrew Cards on these Alden Indy's and it worked, it comes out to $375. Damn now I'm tempted to buy. :\

RFX: What's the 25% code? Those pebble grain captoe boots look great indeed. They're pretty much the Winn Perry collabo I bought about 2 years ago except mines have water locked sole.

If the leather is dirty. You can try a leather cleaner/conditioner. I use the Allen Edmond one. If the midsole is dirty, there's not much you can do to clean it.


Also, thanks to RFX for the heads up on 25% off on Alden. I just bought a pair.

I bought these:

to replace my beat up 3 yrs old Clarks DBs..that I coincidentally wore today as well:

Not sure if it was this thread or the jacket thread where someone mentioned a varsity jacket at H&M. The ones I saw...quality is trash. I got a decent sweater and also a pair of lounge/sweat pants for like $25, quality is fine. You just have to be careful there.

The only thing i have at the time that goes with the outfit. Looking into getting some PF Flyers that should go perfectly with the fit...

Anyone have experience with Citizens of Humanity denim, in terms of quality? Just picked up a pair of these to replace some AGs I had:

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

My guess would be the same quality as AG.

yeah those def look like the best out there; I assume they are worth the price. Do you have a pair? Looking for sizing info because I heard they run big

So I went into the brooks brothers store 2 days ago and I'm talking to the lady who works there elder white woman and I'm like I'm looking for a suit jacket, and she points over there and say's  "we have suit jackets and then we have blazers" she then tells me suit jackets are slimmer and blazers don't have a slim cut.

Now are all blazers like that or just most, cause I was looking for a blazer but I might have to pony up (no ralph lauren) and get a suit jacket for my frame.

Opinions, advice, K stizzle ?

What's the code, or does it only work with AMEX?

I had those jeans during the time I was into 7 and True Religion jeans. I would say they are OK and is on par with other designer brands in its tier like Joe's Jeans, and AG as RFX mentioned.

Brooks Bros is a traditional store that use traditional terms. She was probably dumbfound as to why you only wanted to buy just a jacket and not the complete suit. Blazers AKA sports coats were initially made of heavier fabrics in looser cuts for sports...hunting sports so layering can be worn, ie a sweater/cardigan under. In the recent years, the cuts have gotten more slimmer to accommodate the current trend.

A lot of people also misuse the terms. People just use the word "blazer" for all jackets they see that don't have the matching trousers. Blazers are orphaned pieces, and usually have brass buttons for a more casual vibe

You need to check out the Milano cut from BB, it's pretty slim. I'm a pretty skinny guy and the Milano fit is great on me.

It's Niketalk, my man. I understand that a lot of people browse on here during their downtime/free time from classes at the library and are just looking for some LULZ. I did the same in undergrad. I do try to help keep the thread positive though.

Some pictures of the LV Homme fall/winter 2012-13 catalog. I really like the black monogram loafers, may have to scoop that up.

yall 2 dont have to justify, you come into this thread and try to help and pass along info, if you ever notice the people who come in here for the "LULZ" are either trolls or just joined this week which still makes them trolls, thanks for the advice on dressing better

Oh I understand that, my man. That was me myself back in the old days when I used to be on HT as well for the LULZ. NT is like my first home. I was on this board since the 9th grade until now at the age of almost 27 so I went through several stages. I understand the nature of the board, and we do try to keep it positive.
