This year I'm pledging to spend less than 3,500 dollars on clothes.

Come thrifting with me! I'll get you through at $350.
The boots and jeans are my favorite part.
Totally bought more undies and jeans on sale at American eagle online.

Sounds pretty sweet although there's something almost erotic about brand new clothes. Just can't let that go.

Made my first pickup of 2013 about 15 hours in to the year. I feel your pain, Alucrid.
Wolverine 1000 Mile boots in black. Been wearing them for most of the day and I really dig how they look/feel.

Those are some nice looking boots.

Finally placing an order for a bunch of stuff after withholding for quite a while is basically like a really good orgasm. Discuss.

Let's see this stuff at least.
well you have to find inspiration somewhere.. finding your own style is just combining things you like about other peoples style. that doesn't mean that you're just going to jack someone's style 100%.

Yeah, they do look pretty similar.
I'm also looking for a blue blazer, any recommendations?

It's the scrutiny, maaan ;__;
There were a few pair of shoes I wanted, but none were available in a 7. I need pants, too, but that's something where it's just a bad idea for me to get 'em online.

I don't know what it is about contrasting pocket tees but I love them.
Man, 1000 mile boots are so purty. Love the black upper with tanned sole, wish you'd see that more often in shoes.
They're good for learning what not to do and basic shit. They do tend to encourage homogenization but people do that of their own accord anyway. Blogs just made it easier.
Shit, you wear a size 7 shoe too?
Hey luckyboy, how's the fit/weight of the 1000 Mile? As much as I love my Red Wing Iron Rangers, they're a little heavy, and a half size too big (can't size down as I wear the smallest size...). I've considered trying the 1000 Mile as another option in the future.

Yo Bus, those two floral print shirts you ordered are lovely. I need to find myself something similar.
To be fair, I've never really owned a full size boot like these before so it's hard to gauge them comparatively. I recall hearing the 1000 Mile boots are a bit more snug than the Iron Rangers, but I can't confirm that seeing as I've never actually worn the Rangers.
Thanks, guys. I agree with the tanned sole, that was actually one of the main selling points for me. I think it's the best part of the boot.
Pretty good fit/weight from what I can tell. It's a real snug fit but in a good way. Once they break in a little bit they feel fantastic. Weight seems very reasonable as well.

A few pages back there was also that Allen Edmonds x Dandy Project shoe:
I really want something like that with a 'normal' nose.

Those Edmonds are beautiful.
The Timberland Wodehouse model sort of fits the bill for what you're looking for.
I own a pair in brown and not only are they the most comfortable boot I've ever worn, they're also far and away the most complimented item in my wardrobe. They come in oxfords too, though I think the chukkas fit the style better.

Ah word, thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. As much as I'm used to wearing shoes that a tad too big, it's always appreciated when I find something just just fits perfect.

Yay or nay? Removable hoodie, around $290...
Bam Bam Baklava

What's that fur on there? Looks kind of tacky.
ToLateToLove

Yeah the hoodie isn't really what I'm after because I usually wear my own. But I like the look of the jacket. However it's expensive, only online and I'm not sure I fit the style... :/
luckyboyceo

Fur detailing almost never looks good. It definitely doesn't there. I love the army green color but that's about it.
Sounds like a lot of reasons not to buy the jacket. Don't talk yourself into something that you aren't sure about. You should be able to buy a decent leather jacket for that price, I'd keep looking around.
I want some black shoes that I can wear both with a nice suit on special occasions but in more casual situations as well. I have a feeling that those tanned soles give them enough of an edge to pull that off. But obviously chukka's or imo derby's (why do shoe companies call derbies oxfords anyway, bit of a pet peeve for me) won't really work for that.
Ah we'll, hopefully I run into something nice one day.

i don't have a nordstorm rack near me, nice score on the shoes. Walnut color leather looks great.

Got a navy blue baseball jacket and a pair of Unbranded denim that were somehow on sale for 45 bucks.

Sounds like some awesome pickups. What material is the baseball jacket? Also, pics?
And Leroy those Allen Edmonds are great. Nice find.

Sweet. Are the Unbrandeds grey? If so, that'd probably be a rad outfit right there.
I wear a similar outfit from time to time with my old TOJ Varsity and always get compliments.

Gray unbranded man, only way to go. For me, the tapered versions are the best fits of all the raw denim brands I've tried and for 45 dollars I'd be crazy to say no.

Made my first clothing purchases of 2013...
Sweater & cords that were on sale at jcrew:
...And a Barbour Bedale jacket with hood attachment:
Next up, a pair of Iron Rangers (brown) or Wolverine 1000 Miles (either brown or black) and Alden Indys... Wish me luck.

Where can I find a coat like this:

Dude for $45 I'd buy out the stock. I don't own any Unbranded, but I'm thinking about getting either a brown or red colored pair of jeans by the end of Winter. If they put out any of those colorways I'll probably pick them up. Been meaning to buy some.
Nice pickups, you'll get a lot of use out of those cords through Spring.
For what it's worth, I picked up the 1000 Mile in black yesterday (posted above) and I absolutely love them. Didn't get a chance to try on the Iron Rangers, but the Wolverine's are wonderful so far. Highly recommended.

Something I was thinking about;
Living in America, I realized something. Most mass produced brands such as Nike fit like parachutes. People who are slim, skinny or toned have to actively search and go out of their way for clothes that shouldn't have to be labeled as such.
Rather, it should be the other way around, with the slim fit and more fitted clothing not labeled anything, and the baggier/poorly cut clothing being labeled in a different category.
I realize our country's clothing companies cater to the larger market because obesity is at an all time high, and people are in worst shape than they've ever been, but there needs to be some sort of PSA or style revolution where its the norm for clothes to be made to fit properly, and not like tents.
Just felt like sharing my opinion.

it's kind of like why vanity sizing exists. no one wants to be told they are bigger than they think they are.
