Not really feeling this trend of slim fit trousers/jeans with boots. Another comment worth considering is that the model's face and hair plays a large role in the appearance of their overall outfit e.g. there are some outfits [their colour] better suited for blondes.

I know I have already asked this in the page but I am about to make an order with few other items on Puma. I do have a 40% off coupon, so the prices are quite tempting.

Any sneaker recommendations with this coat? I live in the east coast, so yes, there is snow.

The coupon expires midnight, so I will have to make my order soon. Thanks in advance guys.

I would recommend against wearing sneakers with this type of coat.

Well it works if you tuck the jeans inside the boots, I like that style. But if you prefer the jeans to go over the boot and touch the sole, it probably won't work because of the tapering of slim fit/skinny jeans

Yes, I agree, certain models do make the outfit look good, its a science. That's why when you put on what the model got, it rarely looks as good.

Big fan of Clae's sneakers. I have two pairs of their Russell models and they go with just about everything. Pretty affordable too.

How are their sizes? Mine are 13, however some I need to go with 14 to make my feet comfy. How accurate are these?

Those kinds of shoes just don't work with coats.

The boots that Macuser posted look nice, but yikes at the price and shipping.

[bodyboarder]

Good info, thanks man. I'll have to check it out next time I'm browsing the cologne section.


Thanks dude. The hair is nothing fancy, just a #2 on the sides with some blending and some product. Thanks for the kind words though.


Also, new page, time for some inspiration pictures:

Really liking the last pic.

No, just no.

[Owed T'Alex]

I think it's great this thread is moving as fast as it is.

I am currently lusting after some chunky black shoes and these doc martens seem totally reasonable

any alternative suggestions?

 

[hawkshockey11]

best $20 I have ever spent.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

For me, it doesn't get any better than this

 

[MegalonJJ]

Gentlemen, I need some advice.

I know not everyone here is a fan of Godlike Velvet blazers/jackets, but I'm thinking of having one I own tailored. Specifically, I'd like to have it taken in in the torso/back area (shoulders and sleeves are perfect), but I want a close fit.

Anyone had this done before? Would alterations on a velvet jacket be visible?

Taking it in shouldn't be a problem, taking it out would be. Cosmic Bus should be able to answer with real world experience, though

What do you plan to wear with the coat?

 

[Puddles]

So my Clarks Desert Boots were my first suede leather articles of clothing ever. I was quite ignorant about suede, and I wore them outside yesterday after it had rained. It wasn't pouring, but it did sprinkle a bit at some point.

Apparently I was supposed to apply some sort of water-protection to the boots. I was unaware of that, and did not. Now they have a few dark water spots.

What are my options at this point? I can go out and buy that water-protection spray, but I'd like to get rid of the water stains first, if possible.

buy a suede brush use that to get out the spots, then use the spray, but ideally just don't wear them when it rains.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Get a suede brush and gently try to brush it out. Should diminish substantially

Edit fuuu

 

[Puddles]

Thanks for the advice. I'll swing by some shoe stores and see if they sell that brush.

What are some good boots to get for rainy days?

[Antagon]

Don't fret, some raindrops won't ruin suede. the gum will fix em up. In my ignorance I've worn my suede shoes to parties and had them soaked in beer and they even recovered from that. Won't recommend that though.

Tried on some desert boots a couple of days ago. I like the style, but those are the worst fitting shoes I ever tried on. Guess I'll keep it to my iron rangers and some oxfords once in a while for the winter.

Can't wait to see what the boots'll look Ike after a few days of snow though. Should age great.

Thinking of grabbing these from J Crew while they have 30% off. What do you guys think?

 

[chrisisawesome]

This is the type of boot you need to look at wearing with that type of trench.
Nice and dressy, but can be worn casual as well.

Boots

 

[zethren]

In regards to one of the inspiration pics up top, who in here actually lets their collars extend outside of their sweaters when they wear them together? I feel like that looks pretty bad, but maybe that's just me. I make sure the tips of my collar are always tucked into the sweater.

I love this look though. It's close to what I've been trying to put together.

how cold does it get where you are?

 

[freenudemacusers]

On the subject of wants, this has plagued my mind recently:

But the only place stocking the rust brown is TheCorner and they don't seem to have the shearling collar attachment

 

[Alucrid]

Me? Uh, it drops below 0 for quite a large part of the winter w/ wind chill in the morning / night.

I really like that jacket, actually. I've never been a huge fan of the leather bombers with the large collars like that, so this is a really nice looking alternative.

is that blazer/jacket for the winter?

 

[Alucrid]

Kinda? It's more a knit-ish jacket, perhaps as a layer, but probably not as my outermost piece during winter.
