Dressing Better Vol 2.0

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

Planes usually have a compartment to hang garment bags as well. Put your entire outfit in a garment bag and give it to a flight attendant to put it away for you. Look up your airline's policy on garment bags.

That's how I travel with suits.

talking about these.

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

Oh I know about the fit, I have a pair of blue high top ones, I saw the white at a store in NYC highs $55 lows $50

@nikeairforce1 thanks for that info. I have to fly with my wedding attire, that definitely helps out.

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!

I would use cordovan and do an even coat all over. I bet one to two coats will cover up everything you want it to.

This is a pretty good deal on a varsity. I'm kinda tempted myself:

I can vouch for them.

Very form fitting and slim.. I have the same exact one just in different colors.

^ also Interested. What is the Length like? I'm 6'3 190 thinking about scooping the Large

 

[luckyluchiano]

How does this look on me I ordered it off eBay in HS but could never fit it until now. Ralph Lauren joint.

 

[a blinkin]

Fits well imo. Looks like it's already been tailored and all.

Yeah, Golden Bear quality is nice. I bought one for a friend last year.

To anyone interested I suggest sizing up one. It's not gonna be a baggy fit but enough to throw a layering piece under.

Sleeves look too short and the lapel looks to be bowing a bit which means its too tight. The pic is not the best for judging to start out with tho so take it with a grain of salt.

 

[typerpinoy]

cant really tell if your arm is bent or if the sleeves are too short

 

[luckyluchiano]

The sleeves felt short but the actual jacket wasn't tight in my body so it could be the pic. I'd probably just wear it at the office but not on some get fresh tip

 

[scarsorscabs]

I don't see the bowing of the lapel but I agree the sleeves are a little short, you can prob get away with it though.

Suggestion: If you're gonna ask how something fits, use a timer. Holding a phone or camera and taking a pic throws everything off.

More importantly, congrats again on the weight loss. Really impressive.

I sized a Large as well.

Back Length is about 23.5 inches and Front Length is around 24.5 inches.

I'm 5'10'' 170 lbs

Looks like layering is done for due the weather warming up.

Cool style, especially the loafers, but would have wore different shorts.

PS, that black dude looks just like little wayne without dreads

Saw someone mention Zara's bags in another thread. Quality may leave something to be desired but they look pretty good for the prices.

To follow up on the recent clutch talk and the usual camo talk they've got this

Great price for that jacket. I'm not a fan of the sleeve color, though

I concur. I think the jacket as a whole looks meh

J. Crew Factory Store had 50% off everything and my wife and I found some good stuff...she got some jeans, a dress and a small wallet, I picked up the Thompson in Oxford Cloth, the site makes it look like it's gray but it's navy/white, got the suit for $130 with the 50%.
