Oddly enough I just got my xx007s tapered. They just used a dark navy stitching, doesn't exactly match the original which is a bit lighter, but since they took it in from the outseam the only part that shows is the hem. Even that doesn't show that much since I just let it stack now.
But yeah...probably not unless you have ins with someone at pbj. You might be able to ask them, but not really sure if it's actually worth the effort.

Thanks! Belts look good. Shoes look a bit...too dressy?
Maybe it's just not what I am used to, but they look overly dressy for jeans and a untucked polo.Thanks! Belts look good. Shoes look a bit...too dressy?
They're not that dressy, fine for that.
If you do want something more casual, something like this is a nice option as well:
Chukka boots are great as well

Yeah, must just be what I'm used to. Most oxfords seem like they go with Khaki dress pants in my mind.
I'll look through them though and see. I need something better than my shoe. It just seemed like my AE polo would look out of place with shiny new oxfords with jeans.
EDIT: Something like this looks good. Although expensive as hell. http://www.zappos.com/ecco-adar-tie-sepia

That velvet jacket (hell, the whole get-up) is amazing. Hurting my head to think that just the umbrella costs more than I make in an entire month.
Do you want to know the cost of the jacket?
EDIT
@Alucrid
Hang on, did you say that you don't like most things on the mens clothing side? What did you mean? (I'm guessing you perhaps have a preference for women's clothing?)

I was already sighing wistfully over the Burberry site last night. :\
And now we're two. I want the olive green version of the jacket too.

Hah. Well I have been seeing a lot of women's pieces that I love. That said I mean the more formal side of men's clothing. I enjoy my jeans, leather jackets and boots more to velvet suits, brogues and ties. Men's clothing < streetwear for me. It's completely subjective of course.

Check out Clark's desert boots:

Absolute classics and cheaper then those ECCO's

Bring it with you next Seattle visit!
Manshion mind-blow: In my 33 years, I have never worn a suit. Ever.
We need to sew you a suit made of tank tops.
Edit: hand washing clothing is such a pain

I'd be up for that. I feel like a traditional suit would look ridiculous on me.
I see. It read a bit odd (unless you wear women's clothes, which is cool and progressive. Unless you are a woman). So essentially streetwear/casual > formal then?
(I think substituting formal for mc will lead to some confusion

Yeah, it's another forum's lingo which is why it got a bit confusing.

I found those next actually. What color would be recommended? Lighter or darker brown? My jeans are darker blue.
Something like this color to go with darker blue jeans?
Cool. Makes sense now.
Beeswax, brown, oakwood.
Darker blue jeans are pretty versatile. Don't own desert boots myself, but I remember hearing good things about the beeswax.
I'd recommend checking them out in stores though to see how they fit and what color you like most. Shouldn't be too hard to find.

Present from the Wife!!!!
Will go great with my YSL shirt.

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. These will be great for work/wearing with jeans and a polo.
Second question, what about shoes for jeans or khaki shorts + plain t-shirt or graphic t that are extra comfy for walking a lot, but also look nice? Should I just go with plain white on white Nikes?

I used to, then I realized they fall apart really fast, the toe box isn't that great, there are much better espadrilles for less money, and they hurt rather than help the places they send shoes.Got meself a pair of black Tom's. Absolutely adore these.
Bit pricey though, but was a present from my mother. Anyone else love 'em?
Others here are better versed in style and fashion tips, but I am an artist and this question could fall under a category I'm comfortable with giving tips on. It is my opinion that contrast is key. If you have darker blue pants, I personally recommend a lighter color shoe to show contrast between your pants and your shoes. Contrast makes things more visually interesting. It's the same concept with art and designwork.

Just got my sperrys in. They are a grayish brown (more grey than brown) color. Two questions.
Are they meant for shorts only, or can I wear them with jeans?
D you guys go sockless? Or buy some of the no show socks? If sockless, how do you keep them from smelling?
They look decent with the jeans I was wearing though.

I've worn mine with shorts and pants, both jeans and chinos. I prefer them with chinos though. I wear them sockless, and usually use odor-eaters foot powder

I have a pair in navy and a pair in gray, love them. I like using them when I need something light and are a bit of color in my outfit.

What! I went to india for 5 weeks, walked up mountains,through citys, beaches and forests and they where amazing. Came home and used them for a while longer but the sweat hand literally fused with the shoe and no amount of washing could save them
I should buy some more really, they are also really comfortable for summer as I cant stand flip flops!
RIP Blue Toms
Hah, I've started gyming in my Tom's cuz I love flat soles for my squats. Think I should give 'em a clean already before I sweat into them too much.
I went down to Brighton the other day in them too, and they were an absolute joy to wear on the fucking pebbled beach. Now, that on the other hand, hurt like fuck on my bare feet. Wearing a pair of Tom's was like slipping on a light saviour for my soles.

Okay that jacket it awesome. I would totally be in the market for something like that if I hadn't bought my last blazer.
Mind-blowing indeed. I love suits. In fact, I have to constantly create reasons for me to wear them.
Beeswax are the best Clark's boots color. Extremely versatile.

It will probably creep down to $300 or so by the end of the year.

Going to the Glendale Galleria today, specifically H&M. Anything you guys really into right now that I should take a look at? I was just thinking of grabbing a few button ups and v necks and maybe some pants/chinos.
Would you mind posting a picture of them post taper? I've seen some of your posts earlier on in the thread with them. Love these jeans but the bootcut like leg needs to go, I've been trying to find a good tailor in Norcal to do it.
My phone is being repaired so I can't take a better pic, that was just one my friend took because she likes to document what I wear haha.
But yeah I'm digging polka dots at the moment, I also have this jumper...
Just picked up these guys for $230: http://www.johnvarvatos.com/Ago_Chelsea_Boot/pd/c/31/np/31/p/1067.html
Now just need some jeans and a duck coat to have some sort of decent fall wardrobe.

Love those boots. How'd you get them that price? Didn't buy them at the link you posted?
Opinions on these? I'm looking for a pair of light brown shoes and these seem perfect.

It was my 24th birthday the other day, so I decided to pop my eBay bidding cherry (no longer a 'buy it now' sissy!) and splurge on this.
So in love.

A turtle!
That's rad. Been meaning to add more polka dots to my wardrobe after I picked up this Dana Lee shirt late last year/earlier this year:
I have another red/white/black polka dot button up I picked up off PLNDR around the same time
Okay, thanks for that tip. I found a pair of clarks in that basically same color so that's awesome.
Also, any idea what kind of boot this guy is wearing? Name of the style maybe, or if anyone recognizes a kind of branding? It's an Express model, but I don't think Express sells the boots.
