This is the lining of the one I have:
Wow, that's a great deal! I was really set on the burgundy as it goes a lot better with my skin colour (light brown) and my shoe selection. But yeah 40$ is niiice.
Yeah, I don't mind it but I don't wear it open.
Edit: typo

Any guesses on the animal/religious figure to feature in the upcoming givenchy show?
Mr. Porter has some Rick Owens high tops still available, but in grey suede, for about $700.

Rookie question here. I really liked some of the Pennfield jackets and such, but I'm in America. Is there an analagous store here with similar products/style?
It looks like they ship to the states. There's a little flag in the upper right that allows you to change your location. Or you can just go to pennfield.com/us

True leather bomber jackets are timeless pieces that will never go out of style.

A while ago I asked about switching pants because I was looking for a baggy pair of pants. Someone suggested Levis but didn't suggest what type of Levis. I'm looking for a normal baggy length going down the legs with the crease when you get to the shoe. After looking over there site I'm looking at going with the 569 Loose Straight Jeans. Does fashion gaf think thats the best fit for what I described?

I was looking for jeans that had loose legs - I went with the 569s.
They are the only ones that fit my waist and dont choke my legs. With jeans its either waist fits/legs too tight or waist is floppy/legs fit fine.
Went with the 569s because they are somewhere in between the two.
I still don't really like the fit all that much, thinking of just wearing khakis 24/7... :/

Clothing is meant to fit properly.

That's something which is entirely subjective, though. "Proper" is not necessarily trend or tradition, it's simply what we each deem to be the best realization of how we wish to look.
It might not be to my particular taste, but if he wants baggy jeans, then those are going to meet the expectation and would, in fact, be properly fitted for his style.
[legit edit] Today I bought grey suede Clarks for $20, orange jeans, and a bright purple sweater. Now when will my Asos order get here? ;__;

Asos takes forever. Usually a week if not more.

Damn, nice haul. You still shopping at those Cap Hill thrift shops? I still haven't checked those out yet. I need to more than ever now that I'm broke.
Good choice, brown is the most versatile color of leather, particularly dark brown. Any idea on the type of leather? Or is that not listed? Not super important, just curious since I'm a fashion nerd.
i'm looking for a black t-shirt with 96% cotton 4% spandex, and a good thickness
ive got an old shirt from the gap thats like 6 years old that is beat but its super thick and stretchy and tight all at the same time and i love it. if i could id wear it every day and i need more and similar. there must be bros out there like me.

It doesn't say unfortunately. (Feels very smooth and soft/supple. 100% leather btw. And it's expensive
So did you guys get it? If yes, how are you liking it? I'm also looking at bagjack and acrnm (messenger bags that convert) but they are more expensive...
I went the the store in my town that carries Mission Workshop. They did not have it, but the owner had one for himself. He has the black version. I played around with it and I am set on getting it. I will be making the purchase around march-april. Again, the waxed canvas for me.

Manshion, thoughts on these boots?
I will be purchasing a pair of boots next month. Are these hard to pull off? I mainly wear jeans, chinos and simple plain shirts. Very minimalist wardrobe.
Asking since I showed this to a few people and they were saying it's for old dudes in suits.... :|
Huh? I can't imagine anybody older than 40 wearing those shoes and that's pushing it.
I don't think they'd work well with t-shirts and jeans though.
Personally I don't like how they look, they look like they're in the bad limbo between casual and dressy and just end up being ugly. I'd get a pair with a singular tone.

Looking around just a little, and I see that might Polo Ralph Lauren be for you. Or maybe you'll like Diesel Men's Randall tee better.
Calvin Klein and Emporio Armani have affordable options close to your specs, but I'm guessing their as thin as their normal tees based off some reviews I've read online.

Two questions today.
1. How do you tie/knot a scarf to look good under a peacoat? I bought one and have never worn a scarf.
2. My parents got me an Iowa State polo for Xmas and I'm not sure what to wear it with. It's the one at the link below, a grey polo with the ISU logo. I tried it with khaki pants and black shoes today and it just looked off. I'm debating returning it for another color. Any suggestions?

1. I think most "knots" look dorkish. Especially this is the worst offense:
Nonetheless so many guys do it. Really meh, Imho of course.
Just sling it loosely around your neck.
2. 100% Polyester? Return and never look back.

I just wanted the base "knot" that people use when they tuck the scarf into the jacket.
On the shirt, it's the "athletic" feel (stretchy material/polyester) yeah, but it's not too bad. My thought is that the bookstore has more basic ISU polos though.
The colors are just such that I couldn't figure out what to wear it with.

Gotcha, figured as much. I always see the guys with peacoats and the common knot with the scarf tucked in and wondered if that was a thing.
I think you might be looking for this:
It's really just a knot not much dirfferent than when you tie your laces. Kinda old fashioned!

Going to go shopping this weekend for some khakis and polo shirts. Maybe a sweater or two.
For a kinda casual outfit for school I was thinking khakis, untucked polo and some sort of shoes that aren't sneakers. Any good? Any suggestions? Need to tuck the shirt in?
Old Navy has some good prices on Khakis and polo shirts, gonna look there first.
I like a few of the boots posted on the last few pages, will probably be getting a pair of some kind soon too.
I posted a few pages ago asking about some Sperry shoes for dress casual work, looking at this pair now:
Similar shape to what I wear to work now but these are suede and look a bit more comfortable. Any good?

I'd only wear that kind of thing on a golf course, when you might wish to look vaguely stylish but still allow for things like school logos and whatnot you wouldn't wear anywhere else.

So are the shoes that bad or do you not like them due to some guy you know who wears them?
Anyone else wanna give opinion?

I like them. I have some that are similar from Aldo and they really look well with jeans. Although, I don't like the look of them on me when I wear slacks.
