What, you haven't delved into #menswear on tumblr? You're in for a ride.

or
2)
http://canada.forever21.com/Product...egory=m_shoes&ProductID=2017306540&VariantID=
EDIT 3)
Also, what's the negatives of getting faux leather? (Getting these cause I can get a discount)

I don't wear hoods. I just carry an umbrella if I need it.
I'll wear gloves, those toggles are such a turn off. Finding the perfect jacket is hard.
This #menswear thing is bizarre.

I was kind of tempted as well but I'm gonna get a Fossil or Michael Kors.

I'm right there with you man. I got this Timex and it doesn't fit my wrist at all...I think it even fits most girls hands.

I kinda want to get a terrorist Casio.

I usually carry an umbrella and rarely do I carry gloves, but it's nice to have a hood when it's windy really and I don't have a hat. And really? I find the toggles charming and the coat to be just as timeless as the peacoat's design, since both were used in the military.
Ah well, I guess it's not for everyone.

anyone know where to get an affordable bead bracelet like this?
the bracelet brand in the pic is a viola milano for those interested, but i believe it's probably out of my price range
I have a few, I usually get them off of jackthreads when they do accessory sales. I have like 5 goodwoods and one or two metallic or ceramic or whatever.
also, does anyone know where I can find a good windbreaker? maybe something like
but blue/green/silver/whatever?

Yeah, as far as I know, 537 aren't made anymore, but I was lucky enough to find them on ebay. In fact, in my pics, the one in the middle is one of the four pairs that I bought from ebay. I know, I know, four pairs? but as i said, Levi's 537 have my name written all over them (aka the fit is beyond perfect)
Thanks for your answer, Alucrid; I'll investigate about those "rigid" jeans, and thanks again for the tip about the APCs.
Cheers.

Well, I wear a turban, so hoods look... awkward when I put 'em on.

Hmm, number two for me. Despite the three look similar, IMO the second one looks more elegant.
Did you try looking at Columbia, Marmot, Mammut sites?

1. nice shoes, bob. do they have a coordinating belt?
2. I was feeling japanesey streetwear so i was gonna grab some undercover from the internets but I realized I'm on the higher end of a size 4 and they rarely make that shit. fuuu

I figured this would be the best place to ask about this, but I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions for nice-looking backpacks? I've been checking out the Everlane ones, and I really like the look of this one, but it's currently sold-out and I've been wait-llisted for it:
Are there any similar-style backpacks out there for a similar price (around $65)? I have a messenger bag that I normally use that has a similar look, but I have a bad back and some days need to switch to a backpack to even-out the weight and would like something that doesn't look like I bought it at Target. Currently I'm using some cheap HP backpack - but it's totally, like, cramping my style.

On sale for $265 I think. Not as good as Nordstrom's sale but I don't think I've ever seen them have this style anyway (Sanford). Still a great deal, methinks.
That's the next step- I'll probably look for a raw slim walnut belt from TJ Maxx or Nordstrom Rack, unless anyone has a recommendation.

That would be the deal breaker for sure. Ah well, hopefully you'll find the perfect coat.

Hey guys, I just want to make sure that Corduroy is still cool right?

Just making sure before I stock up on some.

I guess the only weird stuff is the super thick wale cord, usually looks kind of cheap. get something thinner, if possible.

Will do, thanks for the advice.

Manshion-GAF, I'm looking for some shoes that look a lot like the entire collection ALDO has, you know, comfortable and also look good but with a catch... they also have to be clutch/manual/stick shift friendly. I'm assuming that something like that is a tall order, so I'm asking y'all here if y'all have any idea on shoes that fit my criteria.
So far, I've only found one pair from ALDO that fits the bill really well:
The pair I own doesn't have that gaudy yellow and green, but they look very similar.
So far though my search has been limited, as I'm on a broke-ass college student budget, I can only afford anything less than $120, thus I've only been able to find that pair from ALDO since I can actually test them up against a wall and see how it would feel against a clutch pedal. Other than that, I've been sporting PUMA's sneakers as they work but I need to get away from the sporty looking shoes so yeah.
Thanks for the tips.

If in USA, look at J.Crew Factory Thompsons either in worsted wool or 80/20 mix
they do 30% off coupons very often. wait and you can get them just slightly over $200

Guys, I've been searching for hours online with no luck. Can anyone point me towards a dark blue/navy jacket/coat (although I would consider grey), without a million pockets, that's long enough so shirts don't poke out the bottom. It's all I ask for. I would prefer a zipper but buttons aren't a deal breaker. Ideally something for a cold fall that can last me in light winter weather.
Relatedly, it's horrible form to wear a black jacket with dark navy trousers, right?
Edit: Oh yeah, I don't really want to spend more than $100 [would go to $120 or so for something special]

Speaking of duffle coats, any suggestions on where to get one? Really digging them lately and now I want one for the upcoming winter. Glad to take any ideas.
Also, should mention that Alucrid, I really like the one you posted awhile back. Where did you get yours?

He, count me among the ones who don't like Duffles at all. I think the toggle fastenings give them a very childish look and the overall boxy shape of the coat make you look like...
I think I'll always be a peacoat guy. If you're a slim or regular fit guy, I don't think there's another coat out there that makes you look more elegant and stylish.
Just my two cents.

Any good places to buy coats like this at a good price? I tend to like my coats a bit shorter too.
Uniqlo has a pretty nice looking and affordable duffle.

Don't know much about the quality though.
Also, Gloverall duffle coats often seem to be on sale.

How can you dislike this?

For those looking at peacoats, have you tried hitting up a military surplus store?
It's always an option and they do tend to have different lengths, considering an officer's coat is longer than a regular peacoat.
The only thing is that they'd be in navy, but that's pretty standard actually.
Looks pretty awesome, I love the contrast of the light toggles against the black jacket.

Oh damn you, you would have the duffle from TOJ. It looks damn good, but my wallet would weep.
Thanks for this! I'll keep looking as well.

Hmm, usually, a really good peacoat isn't going to be cheap. But still, you can get some excellent ones from time to time at a reasonable price.
Here at Amazon you can see a bunch of them (overall, not expensives). PLEASE, STAY AWAY FROM ANY COAT THAT HAS AN ASIAN LIKE NAME, 99,999999999% of the time are utter crap (example: Doublju).
From that bunch, I like:
Kenneth Cole Reaction Men's Plush Peacoat
Calvin Klein Sportswear Men's Melton Wool Basic Peacoat
Levi's Men's Wool Melton Peacoat
There are other sites, like Asos.com that sell really good peacoats.
Good luck!

I wouldn't mind getting a peacoat, but I feel like I'd look way too bulky or like I was trying too hard.
Which is ironic cause I guess I am trying pretty hard.
