Very nice jacket. How much did that run you?

btw, could someone elaborate on the student discount at J.Crew? Do you just show your student ID at the counter? I've never heard of this for a clothingstore before

Yes. It has to be a university ID though, not high school. It used to be applicable to anything in the store. However that has changed. Thediscount only works on full price and special of the week items. Stuff from the clearance section are excluded.

Considering it's almost a certainty that Lebron has to get pants tailor-made, why didn't he get the length right? The entire fit is good, but then youhave a big break at the bottom.

i just sniped a pair of handmade brown italian leather wingtips off ebay for $42 shipped! the guy emailed me detailed pics, couple scruff marks at the back ofthe heel but nothing some buffing cant fix. thought it was an amazing deal, he paid $375 for it. pics to come when it arrives.

also picked up a vintage burgundy leather messenger bag at a garage sale 2 streets over for 96cents. its in pretty mint condition for something very very old.ill post pics later in the day. needs some work to get a couple white marks taken off but otherwise a sweet deal.

I like this look, but I typically wear socks to work, and I'm not bold enough to cuff my dress pants, yet.

These are hand-made, assembled upon order, with, what I have read, awesome quality leathers and craftmanship:

Arrow Moccasin Company

The pics on their site are craptastic, so I found a pic of the particular style I want.

Anyone here have any experience with the company, or better yet, where can I find something similar in NYC (with a similar price point). $140 isn't bad atall.

What I hate about ordering from J crew is unless there's like extra percent off sale items. The shipping sends it right back up to the OG price. and if Igo in the store i could get the one that's original price for cheaper using my student discount.
I wonder what the employee discount is like, even though I don't want to work retail, not many men go to the J Crew here, whenever I'm in there itsonly like 2 or 3

Its fits fine, you homie to wear the "pants cut off 2 inches above your ankle" look?

Dude is 6'8 or whatever, he dont want his pants to ride up his calves when he sits down.

Ive been wanting a pair of their lined lace up boots. ive read that theyre made with very good leather and construction. the prices aren't toobad at all. i just wish they would have better pics, close ups or a pic of the fit etc. they'd get so much more business

 

[peteweezy]

^^ I agree and thanks Super Producer J for the pics cause I need a pair of those and don't know when I would have stumbled on them otherwise.

It's all relative though...whether 6'8 or 5'8, your socks should show a little when you sit. A good tailor can make that happen for all sizes. Agood fit is a good fit, regardless of size.
