I've got a Zegna blazer on hold for me at Nordstrom's but I feel like that might be a tad too much of a splurge. I'll probably turn it down in favor of some black boots, which I really need (and are remarkably cheaper).

Time to get that black leather jacket you were looking at awhile ago maybe?

There's always something to get. I'm gonna get this beanie with the money I got for a book.

But as far as other stuff goes the sky is the limit. Maybe a Coppidge jacket, maybe common project sneakers, maybe leather varvatos boots, maybe naked and famous jeans, maybe a nice sweater. There's no stopping this fever.

You should come to PAX this year, man. You'd be in heaven hell.

Though in PAX's defense, in recent years, the crowd has become more fashionable. I'm sure this is a direct result of PAX being more mainstream, but really, I don't care.

 

[Antagon]

I'm gonna splurge a bit for another successful semester completed. Just gotta figure out what I want.

What about some nice semi formal shoes?

Spoiler

$785 might be a bit of a big splurge though

 

[Alucrid]

Eh I hardly wear common projects any more. Except today.

 

[Dina]

Topman. Pretty sure they ship to the Netherlands since they ship to Italy for a very low shipping fee.

um, tres bien shop?

urbanoutfitters? .com!

All three good, thanks. If anyone got more, keep it coming.

 

[Technosteve]

i got my pair of bonobos jeans, the fit is great but it looks like i got a pair of someone else's returns. There's wear on the cuffs and pockets, unless this is the by product of the wash...

 

[giga]

What's everyone's opinion on New Balance? I've wanted to grab a pair for a while now, but my girlfriend hates them and I really don't understand why. They're simple and really well made trainers.

I don't wear sneakers unless I'm working out.

 

[MegalonJJ]

Okay gentlemen of refined taste, I have a few questions so any and all help would be appreciated.

I have a pair or trousers, but it doesn't have belt loops nor does it have side-adjusting buttons. There is some slight room in the waist, so is it possible to have the waist taken in?
(Btw, the next size down is too small).

Secondly, what's the latest when it comes to wearing braces with trousers? Is it acceptable in this day and age? (I'm in early 20s, for reference).

If the rear seam is split its a simple alteration. Re braces, I'd only do it with a suit. Otherwise it might look a little precious, you know? Then again you have a velvet blazer ;p

I wanted to go to PAX this year. Shit I forgot all about the ocean of fedoras

Might be going to Vancouver around New Years for a few days, so hopefully I can grab some new stuff (looking for boots/shoes mainly but we'll see...).

 

[freenudemacusers]

Slide a little further south and come to Seattle! We have great alleys you can sleep in.

The trousers, in the center at the back have a small split in the waist, this is the rear seam right?

The braces were only an option if they couldn't be altered.

Velvet Blazers are Godlike! (Good memory...considering I don't post in this thread too often )

Edit: I ought to add, that the velvet blazer alteration made it Super Godlike

Not my style / doesn't fit my wardrobe. It's all oxfords, chukkas, monks, loafers, or boat shoes for me.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Anybody have experience with Stapleford boots?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Yeah, the seat should look like this

99% of dress pants are make this way so I doubt yours are any different

 

[MegalonJJ]

It does indeed look like that.

Thank you for the heads up chap, much appreciated.

Edit:

This tailoring is rather addictive, it just makes everything that much more awesome

Might be dropping down to Seattle in the New Years actually. I'll def hit up some alleys, save me some cash

We're meeting on the 5th. Peep the Seattle thread as deets develop... And make sure to wear the jeggings

 

[Frustrated_me]

If I needed a bag that ever required some camping, hiking, etc I'm al over this. So, so good.

R6 Arkiv Field Pack by Mission Workshop.


It is on the pricey side tho =/ Will range anywhere from $350 to $600 depending on the pieces you get.

 

[Antagon]

Got a confession to make: I don't own any black dress shoes except some glossy black derbies for black tie events (yeah I know I fucked up by getting derbies). Those aren't holding up too well and definitely not useful under a suit.

Want to get something sleek black shoes that I can wear on a budget. Was thinking about getting some wholecuts (maybe with a medallion on the toe) or some double monks. Any ideas here for shoes that are in a decent pricerange (200-250 euros)?

Edit: These are 125 Euros on a sale:

Might put off getting black dress shoes for a bit longer.

You should get all 5 before the fever dies down. Which Coppidge jacket are you looking at?

Though in PAX's defense, in recent years, the crowd has become more fashionable. I'm sure this is a direct result of PAX being more mainstream, but really, I don't care.

Maybe, I'm not a seasoned enough PAX veteran to really know. It was only my 2nd year this year, and 1st year on the floor.

I secretly just want MiDNiGHTS to come up for PAX anyways. That was my real reason for that statement.

Dude. We're having a Seattle-GAF meet-up on the 5th of January. Both myself and mac will be there. Coldvein too.

If you're thinking about coming down to Seattle at all, that would be the night/day to do it.

 

[freenudemacusers]

you *are* gonna get that fur jacket right?

 

[Alucrid]

ToJ shipped. Wonder which it is and whether or not I'll have it by christmas.

semi-pleab tier, only two. the rely was for a mdr order, but i had ordered a fishtail a month before that, so it could be either.

My fishtail shipped today, so it might be that. Almost perfect timing, as it finally started snowing here.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I keep waffling about getting a cracked pepper fishtail but it's 40 degrees outside. If I were still in ND I would think about it hah.

 

[spicy cho]

Damn I hope my fishtail is in this batch, it's a snowstorm outside right now

I would if I could, would if I could.

Looking for help in identifying two outfits and where to get similar styles, any help is appreciated. Looking to complete the whole outfit:

Love this outfit. Very simple and chic. Anyone know where I can replicate this along with the pocket square?

 

[Technosteve]

What is ToJ?

 

[freenudemacusers]

I googled, Asians love this guy. I also like the most impractical jacket, the Herrington Suede. Suede is such an awesome looking material yet the dye gets destroyed by nature and water.

 

[spicy cho]

When did you guys order your fishtails? I was sept 24th and mine isn't going out today

 

[Alucrid]

sept 10

 

[spicy cho]

Yeah, sucks for me, I'm missing the season at this rate

This thread is worse then the steam sale thread. Except i have never purchased such expensive things

 

[CrazyDogg77]

Ugh I thought TOJ was done. Now I want something from them again knowing I can't afford it lol.

 

[Gruco]

Can anyone recommend some flat-soled nice shoes or boots? Everything I see recommended here or on the blogs, etc, has a built up back heel which I find pretty uncomfortable to wear. Not sure whether or not this is a necessary compromise.

The wedgy flat sole is kind of a fashion thing at the moment, but maybe look into doc martens? They have some nice looking Laceups in this category. I will say though it is kind of a casual look, not something I would wear with a formal suit, so get some heeled shoes got those occasions.

 

[JustHadToJoin]

I'm looking for the best White dress shirt. You know the one every man needs. But does anyone sell nice fitted ones? Can't seem to come across one that doesn't look like a gown

 

[luckyboyceo]

Have you been buying slim/trim fit shirts to begin with? If so, and you still aren't happy, I'd recommend finding one you like and taking it to a tailor to get the exact fit you want.

This would actually be a cool idea for the new thread, whenever we get there.
