Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[cardboardbox]

Gonna have to cop a pair of those soccer sweats...

Picked up these AE's a couple weeks ago 

Started off today just exchanging a shirt and ended up buying two others 

 Jcrew, Banana, and Polo

On a side note any of you broader shoulder/wider chest dudes have trouble finding good fitting shirts? Mediums always fit me good in the shoulder area but they often feel big and blousy down in the waist area. Smalls are usually too tight and Id probably rip the shirt with too much movement. I find myself sticking to jcrew and banana most of the time.

Go Made to Measure, problem solved. There's a plethora of firms out there that offer this service.

The pic of the Wolverine inspired me to take a group picture of my rugged footwear for the rainy days.

Nicely done. Under a $100 is a great deal.

Kept it simple yesterday for casual friday

Serg: since you wanted to go for a more casual vibe, one more button undone from the top would be better.

I agree, usually I do but being in the classroom with students I thought it was just a little too much skin. Sadly, with all the crap about teachers in the classroom, you even have to over think small things like this.

Really? There's a guy on SF that's also a teacher in NYC, and he's stylin' 24/7...tats on both arms as well.

Rob right? He is, I agree. I'm almost sure though but I could be wrong, that he likely keeps his tats covered while in the classroom and even likely buttons up a little more. Honestly, once I head out the building, lunch or end of the day, button comes loose and sleeves up.

You are not alone brother

I always have issues with shirts and jackets cause of my broad shoulders.

I have to third this, i have like a 32inch waist and 40in chest. It's a gift and a curse. No problem with dress shirts, just get them taken in, and the fit is usually incredible.

Odin collection is up on Target.com. I know a few people were looking for that duffle bag, which can be ordered online. The desert boots are in-store only though. Contemplating staying up another few hours to get there as the doors open but I'm not sure if there's much hype for this collection

 

[703flipfiend]

^Is it at every Target? I have a super Target right by me, but I live 30 miles from D.C... middle of nowhere. I guess I'll just have to check it out.

703FlipFiend - You can do a store search online to see if they have what you want in stock.

I'm glad I ended up going this morning, the Target near me had one pair in each size of the desert boots so I was lucky enough to grab the one pair they had in my size. It seems like they shipped without boxes since they were displayed out next to the clothes (similar to how H&M displays their shoes). They're really comfortable right off the bat, sizing seems to be about 1/2 size big, but since they don't have half sizes I just rounded. No sign of the duffle bag, but they seemed to have everything else in stock.

 

[thinkinfresh]

that's how I expected mine to look
if anyone knows of a good tailor in south fl, please let me know

I tried sizing down on denim from APC and Nudie before because I was advised they would stretch..but they never did so I ended up giving those away. With that said, I went true to size. I'm usually a size 30-31, and I went with a 32 on these. The 31 was too tight everywhere.

Im baffled that you bought a pair of APC raw denim and they did'nt stretch. You probably wore them once and let them rock lol. Im a true sz 32 bought a pair of 30's and after a few wears I need a belt.

the other day.. i know my rooms messy

 

[thinkinfresh]

here's my apc's i got done.

The tailor was supposed to take in the jeans from behind the belt loop in the middle of the back, I had a pair of Diors taken in by 2 inches @ the waist & thighs @ the denim doctor. Pricey but top notch work.

I wore them 3-4 times a week for several months. They were just too tight to mess with so gave them away I did.
