[grizzlyboy]

Anyone ever cop a Jos A Bank suit? seen someone tweet they about to have a buy 1 get 3 suits free sale. LOL

Nah, man. They're that price for a reason

Today:


They got tons of compliments at work, from the sneakerheads to fashionistas

Man, I don't know what it is but you make kicks look so good with casual menswear (pause)

Girls can look good in anything...baggy clothing, men's garb...

I dress my wife. After seeing so many female bloggers I had to put her on.

Used to do it all the time with my ex. I dont now what it is but girls around my way cant dress to save their lives. Majority of them are so tacky.

Etsy, $22. From the '70s.

Any tips how to freshen up the inner-sole smell? It's a bit funky, which is probably due to age and whatever wear they previously had.

They were bought for filming purposes (short film based on '70s crime), but I actually do like them where if they don't get ruined, I want to keep them.

You can try Febreze or see if a local cobbler can do the trick for you. If the shoes are from the 70s, that's decades of funk so I'm not sure how much they can do really.

No lie, the Mint "Fresh Twist" product works really well

I couldn't direct link it, but you can find it on this page http://www.mintstayfresh.com/product#16

^ I'll look at both of those options, thanks fellas.

Honestly, those little scrapes are bound to happen. My advice is to rub the shoe down with a cloth to get excess polish off, brush, apply conditioner/cleaner (saddle soap will work if it's all you have), then polish. Just cleaned/polished my burgundy AE's the other day and that process cleared that right up.

Oh, I know. New to the polishing thing, but I just picked up a brush and some applicators and figured I give it a shot.

My two in store polish options are brown and cordovan (kiwi brand). Should I go with the lighter options to try to blend the spots in? Not expecting it to look perfect, but the last thing I want is for the spots to get darker than the surrounding areas from absorbing more of the polish. One last question. Would you put more in the front where it needs cleaning the most and then work the rest to back of the shoe, or is there no difference? Thanks!

Yup. Those nicks and scratches help form character. All of my fine footwear have some sort of nicks and scratches. You can do your best to care for them, ie conditioning once in a while to ensure the leather stays supple, but you can't make them look like they're completely brand new.


Today:

Do the shorts get hot?

You can't go wrong for $40. My only complaint is they're not very comfortable but sizing up .5 and throwing in an insole solves that. Chucks have been my go-to shoe for years.

J.Z. Richards from Nordstrom. $39

You and me both bruh. Always find chicks who are fashionable yet not overbearing with their style to be more attractive.

What would you guy's suggest for cocktail dress if I don't want to wear a suit/dress pants/blazer, etc?

I was just gonna rock a dress shirt with some nice fitting trousers and dressy shoes. Thoughts?

You're not left with many other options if you refuse to wear a suit jacket, or blazer. How are you going to say you don't want to wear dress pants, but planning on wearing nice fitting trousers? Trousers = dress pants/slacks.

Not sure what dressy shoes mean, but you can go with either bluchers or balmorals since you're not wearing a suit.

If you want to layer on top, you can try for a sweater, cardigan, vest, or waistcoat.

A little something for my wife:

Man, my last post was all over the place. I didn't want to take a blazer, cos I didn't think it would fit in my luggage, but I'm gonna cave and squeeze it in.

I'm thinking of rocking this...

 

[1stwitit]

^^^wear the blazer on the plane if it doesn't fit.
