I've done something like that a whole bunch of times. But with a grey or dark blue shirt (minimal contrast with the jacket) - not a red one.

Those look weird to me. The stitching makes it look like their only halfway done. Hate to break it to you, but I agree wholeheartedly with Zilch, take them back.
I don't know, man. A button up shirt under a henley just sounds like a bulky recipe for disaster to me. It'd be a mess taking it off too.
Also I agree 100% with your assessment of Zara's jackets.

Haha ok

Looks good tho, I just got a black cardigan blazer thing the other day.

So I actually can go casual on Thursdays and Fridays now, so I don't think I'll need any more dress shirts, sorry Mauro. I'll will have to pick up a few more casual button downs though...
Thinking about this..since i have too many shirts in blue / white
Still need to find some good non denim pants. Thinking about something from raf, polokov or maybe silent or kva.

Nay. Timberland boots are complete garbage. I had a pair a few years ago for goofing around in one winter and despite only being worn a couple times a week they tore up pretty quick.
The Timberland of the 20xx's is not the same Timberland of the 1990's, sadly.
cool, thanks for the reply. The search continues.

How long does a new pair of military style boots (as above) take to wear in? I've got some rather bad blisters today.

Depends on the leather.. I have a pair of russel moccasins thst I have worn hiking and doing yard work all summer and they are finally softening up. Only had raw/red marks for the first few wears, though.

Once again in the category of looks I like but could never pull off. Looking good, man!End of the day, so I guess it's WW(ere)YWT:
I can't speak to their traditional style boots, but I own a pair of their Lost History chukkas (I posted them a few pages back) and couldn't be happier. They're durable, comfortable, and I always get compliments on them. Couldn't ask for anything more really.

are my eyes fucked or are the sleeves a slightly different colour to the rest of the shirt?

Awesome boots. Waaaaaaaant.
Just got some stuff from the UU sale. The dark gray UU skinny jeans are pretty damn rad.

Bad luck with a defective one, maybe?
I have 4 pairs of Timberland boots and I can only rate the quality as great. They are also super comfortable, which, at the moment was a very nice surprise, since the boot style that I like the most is military.
So, purg3, I'd say YAY
picked up these two items from the 25% off sale at jcrew.
abingdon duffle
NB tennis shoes
Also ordered a TOJ fishtail parka for winter, anyone got good winter boot suggestions? Looking for a black leather boot with good tread for snow and ice. I have my eye on the alden kudu indy but it's out of my price range, and it's brown.

Holy shit I love those boots. They're like the ones Ryan Gosling wears in Drive but a way sexier color.End of the day, so I guess it's WW(ere)YWT:

Hi all.
Its going to get bastard cold here in the UK, so I'm in the market for a new coat.
I currently have a coat like this:
but would like something that looks similar, but does not feel as heavy. I'm not concerned about the material as such, but I find that wool coats hang too heavy and I tend to rock bars etc in a black chino/white shirt/waistcoat combination.
I tend to move around a lot when drinking (visit several bars etc) so it would be nice to have a lighter coat. Ideally, I'd like it to look good both open and closed.
Any ideas? Preferably somewhere that delivers to the UK.
I'm shit at this sort of thing.

Nooo, conflicting opinions lol. I did check them out at Nordstroms today, and they seemed pretty nice, didn't pull the trigger though.
Zilch is just salty because I told him I don't especially like the shoes he bought. Maybe I should've said I could never pull those off. On the other hand, I do know what I CAN pull off. The picture doesn't do them justice and they look great with what I'm wearing them with. I'll take a pic when they come in. Tried them on in the store and they weren't my size.

No, no no no. They're ugly as shit man. The shape of the toe box, the elongated shape of the shoe, the ugly stitching, the elastic showing because they're slip on, the fact that they're slip ons, etc. etc.
Why are you being mean about the way I like to dress? Keep it civil, please. I really like them and they work with a lot of the clothes I wear.
p.s. You'd never see the elastic because of the boot cut jeans I prefer.

what kind of overcoat do you have? I'm actually looking for something heavy to wear over a suit when it's really cold.

That jacket is nice! Zara has some similar ones but Im not a massive fan of the button collar thing :|

Echoing this. They are just flat out awful, theres no being able to pull them off involved with them. Just plain old ugly.
End of the day, so I guess it's WW(ere)YWT:
I like the outfit, except for the ridiculously huge clown shoes in proportion to the rest of your body.
Love the shirt.

Pulling them off is the only thing I'd want to do.
I was going to make that joke but decided not to go for the low blow

Now that I've dropped some bills on a pair of leather boots, what do I need to do and buy in terms of caring for them? I've heard the highest of recommendations for Obenauf's LP...
Weather is getting colder and I had to dig out my last year's jackets. All old stuff:
Think I might just skip getting a new jacket this year as I can't really think of any real outer-wear stuff I desire right now. I do hope I stumble over something really nice worth buying though.
