That shoe is definitely a very casual shoe, I think the combination of the laces and two segmented material makes it real casual.
It should be perfect with jeans, as for quality, at $68 retail, it should be ok. If it lasts a year or so of solid wearing, the $68 should be worth it.

i like the brown pair better...

from where?

From a Burlington's coat factory out here in Nor Cal. They had some nice spring sport jackets as well.

Looking for some help with a suit. I'm tall (6'5'') and looking for a suit without spending over $300 (if I can). Since I have to shop tall (not big), my options are limited. Can anyone make any suggestions? I'd love to be able to go buy a jacket (say charcoal) and pants at separate retailers, but I'm afraid of the colors not being exact. What should I do?

Probably be able to find it at American Apparel.

I duno, I think it looks thinner and different from a regular hoody, gonna check out AA next time I'm in the neighborhood

I got a blue hoody similar to that one from urban outfitters last year but they probably have them at AA also. I think Nordstroms had similar hoodys too a couple moths ago.

good looking out, gonna check out their websites

i dont think its a good idea to try and match the pants and jacket from different retailers. it will be a PAIN to find the exact match. i'd say go to the department stores. figure out what fits best on you, irrespective of price, and then hit up the online shops, ebay etc to see if you can find the same suit for 300 or less. be prepared to spend 50-100 bucks on tailoring to attain an even better fit (usually hemming pants, taking in/letting out sleeves, maybe slimming pants a little etc). good luck.

I know this has been answered a bunch of times..but I never found a direct answer..

how do these

fit compared to regular Chucks? Should I get the same size as my regular chucks? I see them for dirt cheap on ebay right now..and i just wanna make sure theyre gonna fit.

thanks!

^I wear a 9.5 in sneakers, and a 8 in chucks, but in JPs: 8.5

 

[nawlinsjunkie]

just try them on. I wear 10s in nikes and 9.5-10s in chucks, although most people usually size down to a 9. i have wide feet

 

[dneou20]

where can i get some relatively low priced slim fit chinos/khakis?

Not really an avid poster on NT, though I've been a member since 05. Been lurking the dressing better thread since it first sprung up, probably the only threads I still look through on NT. Thought I'd give it a shot.

Therea are rumors that they are bringing one to SF. That's what I've been hearing from friends as well as in other forums at least.

 

[stack bundless]

I'm thinking about buying these, but I have to see them in person before I can decide

35* here and I am anticipating spring season.

I want to find a good pair of spring casual sneakers, but not exactly Jacks or boat shoes. I am so used to sneakers that these low profile ones feel odd to me. Any advice/suggestions? Something like a Nike Sweet Classic, or Adidas Stan Smith, but maybe something else.

Getting my black Dior blazer back from the tailor today so I figured I would post the designer wearing it.

This Givenchy leather from yesterday's show in Paris is dope (disregard the skirt and stocking

)

Thanks a lot for the help. Yes, I definitely don't want to try matching up, but I guess that's why I'll have to go to Macy's, Dillard's, etc. I'm a 34, 35x36, so I'm very weary about someone having my size in pants. Oh, well, looks like time to get up and get out ...

 

[rfx45]

I'd say it is almost impossible to find an exact matching color from two different brands (not including black of course).
Not only that but sometimes the material look and feel is completely different too.


jamminbyalias, loving the Belstaff jacket.
