I used to have one when I carried cash on the reg. now I have a bank that refunds my atm surcharges up to $30ish, so I rarely have cash on me anymore. I do have a card wallet which is kind of the same principle (small and thin vs a billfold).

Yeah, I will get a card wallet someday. The only ones that appeal to me aesthetically are all $200+ so I'm not in a hurry to get one. Damn you Alfred Dunhill ;___;

I don't know if this has been asked. Where do you short, skinny guys buy nice clothes? I'm 5'4" and I don't like clothes shopping because usually the clothes are bigger than my size.

what was wrong with the n&f ones? if those fit well then get raws from them, there's also apc, nudie, dior homme, unbranded from urban outfitters and uniqlo.

speaking of uniqlo i am loving their heattech stuff

 

[Chinner]

nothing was wrong with n&f, i really loved my pair, its just that i'm struggling to find them in the UK.

Yeah I couldn't find any in the UK either, had to go with Levis in the end. Did you check all the hipster skate shops in Leeds?

First one.

Also, check Frank & Oak- they have some pretty cheap blazers and sport coats that have a good fit/quality for the price.

looks good on you. throw a scarf on under your coat to complete the look!

nice hair as well. i would suggest for your next haircut, do the same you did for the sides/back. i would consider not cutting any length on the top for a little bit. maybe visit the OP of the men's hair thread and decide if you want the top layered/texturized/etc. but i would keep growing out the top more so you can get a more defined looking part in your hair.

I don't think I have ever worn a scarf. Where do you guys get them and how are they to be worn? The peacoat seems to need one since the top is more open.

This is how I wear mine

Agree, I was thinking of that while checking them out, thanks for your input Salazar.

Thanks. Was checking that site and it seems inline with what I'm looking for. Appreciated.

there used to be a shop in leeds that sold them but they closed down. there are some shops that may sell something like them probably.

 

[Boken]

I just bought these:

Timberland Earthkeepers. What do I do before I start wearing them? I mean do I treat the leather somehow, apply something on the shoes to keep the leather protected or something?

I bought them on a whim, I was actually looking for another pair of Dockers (after my last one broke).

I assume they are an oiled leather - which means you dont have to do anything to protect them since they are already coated! After multiple wears, the oil will start to have worn off, and then you will want to clean, and then reoil the leather.

To break them in, just wear really thick socks and tighten the laces as tight as you comfortably can.

Oiled leather boots in general are pretty tough, so just enjoy them!

 

[GiJoccin]

went to the drake's of london pop up shop in nyc today... loved what they had

was badly in need of a scarf, and wanted to round out my tie collection. plus sprang for my first blazer.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Get some oxford shoes and you're gold

 

[Visceir]

Haha, yea those shoes look so out of place compared to the rest of the outfit.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Man, I throw this shirt on when I don't feel like putting effort into my outfits and yet it gets complimented every time I wear it. No love for oxford shirts or minimalist sweaters in my neighborhood.

 

[GiJoccin]

those ARE jeans i'm wearing. i have a pair of clark's that should go with that outfit

if i did wear some nicer pants, i have a pair of allen edmonds that i could put on

i try to avoid dressier shoes with jeans, not sure if that's a real rule or not

 

[luckyboyceo]

Thanks!

Slip knot is a pretty easy way to go. That's my personal favorite, seems to go with just about everything.

Every time I come into this thread I leave wanting a peacoat. I hate you guys.

It's because that shirt is awesome. I'm actually somewhat considering style jacking you and looking into something like that myself. I need a few decent, non-tacky graphic tees.

It's less about the jeans and more about what you have on top. Essentially, the blazer/tie takes priority here and you'll want to compliment them with something of the same variety, hence the oxford recommendation. Your Allen Edmonds will look miles better with that outfit.

 

[Lirlond]

With dark jeans dressy shoes can look pretty good. Lighter jeans look kinda awkward though.

Also that jumper is fucking sweet. I want that.

Hmm, I'll definitely try them on with the jeans. I walk around and see all of these middle aged men with untucked dress shirts, jeans, and oxfords as their go-to going out attire, and they more or less all look terrible, and resolved to never do that.

Never really gave jeans + oxfords a second thought, even if I dressed it up.

And I'd love to have more outfits to wear my shoes with rather than just dress clothes.

Finding a shirt to go with a white tie..man its been nigh impossible

Plain black works for some but others look like a bad 50's characters.

Grey works, Sometimes with a subtle pattern. Is it a regular tie or a skinny tie?

I find that you have to be really careful when you wear a black shirt with a white tie, if not done right it can look almost as bad as the black shirt and red tie combo.

It's a regular tie, bit shinier than normal too. I was hoping to find a lighter blue shirt with either white stitching or white stripes to go with it. Found some that weren't my size; found another shirt too but the base of the shirt was too close to white and I don't want to look foolish. Has to be blue to go with the navy vest I have to wear with it.

Can't do a black shirt, like you said it doesn't work for some people; I'm one of them

Quality prints are hard to find. Not just the image itself but properly done so it doesn't get ruined after a wash.

 

[HKnightz]

hey guys, i've been thinking about getting a bag, mainly this one, http://www.navali.com/bags/leather_mainstay/. Anyone have experiences with it? Actually doing secret santa with family and the amount is supposed to be $100 haha, so if you guys know a good bag that would be awesome.

Another thing, has anyone tried out any Uniqlo clothing, specifically their wool coats? Just would like to know the quality in regards to warmth and longevity.

Thanks guys!

There's a ton of posts on Uniqlo- just do a thread search and you should be able to find what you're looking for.

Their problem is wearing an untucked dress shirt, not wearing the oxfords. If they were to tuck their shirt in I bet you'd think of the outfit differently (assuming everything fits properly of course).

Not a huge fan of white ties but I've always thought they look pretty decent with a pink or salmon colored shirt. Grey could work, as could a light blue. Don't do black.

I can imagine. The colors look fantastic though, I think that's largely what stands out at first. I love shirts with old posters on them.

 

[GBONZZZZ]

Never worn Nudie but I know some guys that swear by them. Let us know how they feel when you get them.

Another update! Got them on Monday, and they fit great.

Here's a question for some sneaker heads- how do you guys feel about these Nikes? Planning on wearing either one of them for the winter

and

either wear real comfortable sneakers or dress shoes. dont be a poser in the middle. the grey nikes look like bootleg ones you see hanging on electric wires in the hood, someone stole the swoosh

 

[spicy cho]

apparently uniqlo sizing is all over the place. I ordered some heattech longjohns, longsleeve, a cashmere sweater and a pair of gloves and fortunately everything fits great. The cashmere sweater in particular is a good buy for the price, and the longjohns are good for winter layering, I plan to buy a few more now that I know my size.

What are dressy sneakers and what makes them bad? What sneaker is someone supposed to wear? Super padded air walks?

Too much weirdness on gaf right now.

This is my first time posting in this thread, but I lurk it often.

I want this Burberry trench so damn bad. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative.

 

[freenudemacusers]

How much cheaper? Burberry London isn't exactly budget priced heh

 

[ReconPeon]

Cheaper meaning something styled similarly, but in the 500 dollar price range.

 

[Alucrid]

Bought brown MMM side zips, changing my Guidi order to black (if possible), now looking at ordering a brown leather jacket. Hmm, decisions, decisions.
