Dressing better

[omgitswes]

i just bought a pair of 514s today and they seem to fit perfectly fine. the length is a little longer than i wanted but other than that it's fine

 

[shoeshi]

just be aware that they do stretch

 

[vancity74]

I tried on some 514's last week and the problem I found was that the 32's were a bit too skinny on me, but the 34's were baggy as hell. I might buythe 32's now that I hear they stretch.

 

[omgitswes]

someone needs to find me a red button down. long sleeved or short doesn't matter
because everyone I find is way too baggy, i'm getting heated lol

 

[shoeshi]

yancity-yeah they eventually do throughout every wear. its possible for it to stretch into a 33

I find that all jeans stretch, except for the 2 pairs of selvedge denim that I own. Anything else I've had/have..from $250 pair of R&R to$30 pair of Levi's stretch out after you wear them...which pisses me off because they become too loose.

FYI, BR is having a buy 3 or more on sale items and get additional 20% off.

I had plan on buying the 2 pocket squares left on sale. Both were $10 a piece. I picked up a pair of socks on sale for $2.99 and saved $4 for both pocketsquares and I think around 50 cents on the socks. Even though I didn't want the socks, I saved a buck or so just by buying it.

It would add up if you were to buy more expensive items, but those $2.99 socks is a nifty way to make up for the 3rd item to get the discount.

Can someone recommend me a good messenger style bag? I just got a new job, which has me hauling a ton of paperwork home each night. I don't want anythinghuge, but I don't want an Indiana Jones type satchel

. I'dprefer something not all leather, maybe canvas or something. Anyone got an idea?

 

[rfx45]

Lots of decent choices here for a decent price.

If you want a reliable bag that will stand the test of time, try Jack Spade.
You can get one for $125-$200 (less than $100 when on sale) but believe, it is worth it.

those dudes do look like paul pierce lol.

 

[dunkaroos]

[omgitswes]

a fit from last week

horrible fit IMO.

The jean + dress shirt & tie combo doesn't work IMO.

Those jeans suck IMO.

What shoes?

Again, just my humble opinion.

How can you tell the jeans suck? They look like regular jeans to me, with whiskers on the front. I just think the belt is one size or twotoo large for him, and his tie is hanging a bit too low. Would look a lot cleaner if the tip of the tie just overlap the top of the belt buckle.

The whiskers

. If I were to put that outfit together, I'd need my jeans to be very dark indigo. I reserved comment about the belt beforeknowing what shoes he had on. Still enh though.

Thought: If you're gonna rock a jean jacket, do it right

belt is too long and a lil too big for the dressier look. the jeans look like super heavy denim, too heavy for summer, that's the only thing I see wrongwith them.

the whiskering is a matter of taste and it's really the "in" thing right now, it's not too much for an office setting on a casual friday orsomething. as long as there are no rips. overall thumbs up on the outfit, shirt fits perfectly. I would shorten the tie juuust a bit.

BTW I NEVER wear a tie without a jacket. It doesn't look bad per se but a tie is meant to be worn under a jacket to me.

 

[kix4kix]

Only thing I see wrong is that belt. Nice fit.

Just got a suit today at the Banana Republic in London on Regent Street. Unbelievable price, even with the $ to pound exchange rate. 59 pounds for the suitjacket and only 30 pounds for the pants, which comes out to about $144 USD. Couldn't be happier either, seems to be of good quality as well.

This suit for $144:

[infamousod]

they sell the coat and pants separate? odd... and yes that's probably below cost by a hair. good pull. hope it's tailored well.
