The new size I got of my Clarks fit much better and rub less. Only odd thing is the color is different from the first pair, and different from the online image. Not bad, but darker.

First pair:

Second (current) pair:

I assume they still look fine with khaki, and jeans.

I wear a pair of Wallabees that are about the same colors as your Clark's. How do you keep the gum sole clean?

I stopped trying to keep mine clean after like a month of wearing them. I actually like them better with a more worn/broken in look. I think they look better that way with a nice pair of dark jeans.

If its rough crepe sole, you don't.

 

[Gouty]

Look what showed up in the mail yesterday.

Alden Indy 403.

And no, my jeans aren't as baggy as they appear in that picture.

 

[BertramCooper]

I got this shirt a month ago

I fucking love it. Its darker in real life but it has a shine similar to raw denim.

I would wear this shirt every day if I could, and if I could find it again, I'd buy five more. I love this shirt.

What are other shirts, with a slim fit, and a similar color/style? Or straight up just black. I only wear dark colors.

I'm also looking for a denim shirt, something similar to this:

...but preferably something not as expensive. I'm not cheap, but $165 seems steep to me. Any suggestions?

Does the sizing run small? Have been wanting to pick up a pair.

 

[shas'la]

Incredible fit right out of the box. Really like them so far.

Those are some Boss boots right there. Name?

I found the sizing runs large by about 1/2 or so.

Is it my imagination, or has guys wearing closed toe shoes with no socks become a fashion trend? Like... a guy in a three piece suit, but no socks. What a terrible look : /

 

[Alucrid]

Fiorentini and baker, elf boots.

Cosmic: re boot. Dunno what leather they are but our can use obenaufs lp, though it might darken the color. If you don't want that you can use a leather restorer and then finish off with a neutral wax. To care for them as well without color alteration.

 

[luckyboyceo]

im deciding whether to get it done professionally or just do it myself.

Do it yourself, but at the next GAF meetup.

It's been a thing for awhile. Less so now that the weather is getting cooler.

only those in the menswear god's favor can go sockless during the winter months

Yes.... YES

Since buying my new wardrobe (Well, still lacking in the shoes department, but anyway...) I've had alternating comments of "Looking classy!" and "You look like a hipster." I find it amusing how dressing better makes me a hipster.

I've recently started dressing up a bit more (Mostly just blazers and buttoning up my shirts instead of wearing them open over printed T-shirts), and now I'm constantly getting comments on my hats.

Been wearing hats for years now, no one ever said a word. Go figure.

both should be taken as compliments. it's apparently "hipster" to wear anything other than a hoodie and jeans nowadays

 

[coldvein]

yep. the word hipster has been out of control for a long time.

[Alucrid]

I got an honest-to-goodness shiver of excitement looking at these Saco de Papel lamb suede "paper bag" clutches. The metallic ones are gooorgeous.

Do want. A steal at only(?) $250. :\

 

[freenudemacusers]

Hey, it's cheaper than the jil sander coated paper bags.

This talk of metallic reminds me that I need to turn my brown shoes bronze

[Cosmic Bus]

I have a pair of shoes that I would consider using that on. Hmm.

 

[Salazar]

Post Overalls travellers vest, why are you out of stock.

 

[flamingotripod]

Any of you guys have miansai bracelets? Wondering about getting one

 

[freenudemacusers]

unrelated but you might dig fabio quaranta's stuff. some is on yoox now and various other places. it's pretty nice. i saw some of it and thought of you (no creeper)

 

[Salazar]

Grazie.

Hunting for alternative baller waistcoats. Coming up mostly short.

How much cocaine, incidentally, gets inhaled at Polo Ralph these days ?

What are the most practical Allen Edmonds (that are on sale this week)? Black Fifth Aves?

They're on sale from $335 to $229 this week.

[freenudemacusers]

park avenue is probably the 'most practical' (no broguing at all), but the difference between that and the 5th ave is so minor I don't think it really matters that much at all.

I actually like the design of the Fifth Ave better than the Park but I hear the quality is a tad worse. Black if you're typically more formal, or walnut for more casual occasions. The walnut pairs great with navy and gray pants (where black shoes are more bland for those pant colors)- I tend to not wear black pants so its definitely my color of choice.

get a small gitman-esque button-down collar tatted on your lower neck so you're always dressed up

Spoiler

i've thought about doing it

 

[AVclub]

This seems like the right place to ask. If I'm attending a friend's wedding and am wearing a black suit with a brown vest, what color should my shoes or tie be to match. The shirt will be white, of course.

Black suit usually means black shoes, though rules are meant for breaking.

Standard wool double breasted black suit. Light brown tweed vest.

hmm, in my *head* shoes in the same tone as the vest could be cool, but black shoes would probably be the safest bet. go with a black bow tie.

the MMM 4 stitch logo would be incredible tbh

Why would you want to clean the buttom of a shoe? Besides, boots usually always look better once worn down a bit.

That's actually pretty awesome. I wonder the tattoo artist would say at four lines lol
