Dressing better

[bns1201]

as ive said many times in this thread, im like 7 feet tall so its hard to be fashionable year round...gotta hunt the deals. I work for a college basketball team, and with the season coming up I need a jacket. I'm thinking of a blazer, how nice is a moleskin blazer? do ya'll think this blazer (which they have in tall size) + dress pants + dress shirt and tie would work? What fabric is moleskin comparable to???

These also have a 6 inch heel and I'm sure you've owned a pair at some point.

I really think the inches describes how high the boots are not the heel.

Just picked up a pair of these for on sale for around $110. I originally wanted Redwings but couldn't beat the price.

Timberland Earthkeepers 2.0 Moc-Toe

Those Earthkeepers are nice in person. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger soon.

those timbs are probably better.  i read reviews about how the soles on redwings wear down after a few months and need to be re-soled.

Just got these:

LL Bean Maine Hunting Shoe, $65 at outlets

Wore them when it was pouring out and my feet haven't been dryer. Couldn't recommend these more, especially with the bean guarantee.

This might sound crazy but how do you wear duck boots, with jeans tucked in or over the boot?

 

[yuras718]

Just placed my order for an Indochino suit. Hoping it comes to my liking. Will post once received.

It's a matter of preference, but you definitely need boot cut pants to cover the boots

I'm considering the classic boot, but the one with the black sole has a different structure more suited for better grip and stability. From a style perspective, I still like the original bottom outer sole. Opinions?

The left pair is great. I tried them on & plan on getting them soon.
Might get these also.

 

[omgitswes]

Does anyone have these? Allen Edmonds "Bayfield". I'm thinking about grabbing a pair soon.
I need more pics though, also anyone think these can be pulled off casually?

Wow I look back today and they jumped a hundred bucks

I might have asked before...but I'm on the verge of coppin this denim jacket...I need to know what pants to wear it with...
I already got a denim shirt which I posted here before...I wear those with chinos and it looks sharp...but the jacket is a little less formal and clean cut...

I'm very against the idea of the classic Canadian Business Suit...

I've been told you can do denim on denim as long as the top and bottom don't match...

I've seen some nice designer gray sweat pants that look like they could work...

Any of you have any good ideas on what to wear with this?

 

[kdawg]

^ I would go either with really dark plain denim or something like casual khaki's - I got a pair of Timberland pants at the weekend that are a sort of warm khaki color. They're a baggy fit with a big pocket at one knee so definitely not dressy. Either that or dark blue casual pants.

It's the official suit up day

Time to wear my only suit

moleskin is like corduroy, but smoother. almost like velvet but sturdier/stronger. It is more of a fall/winter fabric, so you probably can't pull it off year round. What color are you thinking of getting? If it is the black one above i'd stay away from it. Try and get a navy or charcoal gray ... that goes with everything. Black doesnt go well with brown and some other colors, so that reduces your options.

Also remember it might need a little tailoring after you get it, so post a pic and we can offer suggestions on what needs to be done to make it fit great.

Good luck.
