Dressing better

[seanyboyy]

No. I just checked out the AE ones and they look fairly similar. Mine are the Timberland Abington Guide Boots.

I think I saw some pairs at J.Crew but I'm looking for options.

Search for loafer socks.

OK, so I went shopping over the weekend. And while out, I thought of this thread, because I need help.

I need suggestions on jeans. I have traditionally rocked a pretty baggy jean. Recently lost a lot of weight and I want a more distinguished look to the denim Iwear.

I also don't like my jeans to taper. I like a straight leg. And they can't be TOO skinny. Just don't want them to be too baggy.

I like the look of the ones donjuan513 is wearing.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Great, thanks. Now I actually know what they're called

^For reference how do you find 501s? What's your current weight, waist size, and length?

Fits perfect, sleeves just needs shortening.

What brand pants are these?
I always have a hard time finding slim fitting dress pants like these. I feel like the legs of the most ones I get are too big and baggy and that just pisses me off.

The Red Wing Beckman round toes are interesting but I'm thinking they're too luggish.

Help is appreciated

Alden Indy is my number one suggestion:

Or Paul Smith Bihars

Thanks RFX - Wondering if they ship to Canada? I have a way around it, but they would need to take a CDN CC at the very least. I'm browsingthat site as we speak. Thinking of pulling the trigger on some To Boot NY shearling lined deals...$400 though. I'm thinking that I should just get cheapones and throw them out after the winter. I can't bring myself to wear SWIMS or rubbers...bah!

Hey guys,

I'm 5'8, 170 or so on the low end. Closer to 180 on norm maybe.

I'm a naturally stocky guy. The thing is that I'm pretty big in the thigh area, which is what can make jeans tough to size.

I was going to try 501's. When I looked at them, they looked small in the thigh.

Thanks donjuan. I'll check those. What about APC? I know mad cats who wear True Religion, but not feeling the craziness on the back pockets.

I welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks for the help so far all.

+1 on the 514s ... J Crew has a pretty good slim fit cut too, that is fairly open in the thighs. Might need to taper it below the knee to get the perfect fit.

 

[illphillip]

Appreciate the help Gents. Keep it coming.

Alright so the laces on my Clarks DBs broke about a week ago. I finally got the time to go to the mall today to get some new laces and no luck. I searching onthe Clarks website and no luck there either. So where would you guys recommend I get a new pair of laces?

 

[damnthosejs]

I think 514s wouldn't be a good idea since it's "slimmer" than 501s. Remember he said he's a naturally stocky guy, he might need morethigh room.

Jeans in general, but especially levis tend to stretch out and become loose over time. If you want jeans to fit you the way you want, a break in period isnecessary.
