So, I was just browsing shoes on the Nordstrom site.

I don't even... What?

these are golf shoes, right? Cleats on the bottom?

 

[Auron_Kale]

After getting SOAKED today I realize I need to blow some money on some decent rain gear. It rains here a lot and I have to walk 4 blocks minimum from where I park, more sometimes when I have to go on sites.

These purchases I actually want function over fashion but stuff that doesn't look like shit would be nice. I'm needing a waterproof jacket and some waterproof boots.

I was looking at these Patagonia Rain Shadows for a jacket. I know their stuff is well made and fits well and it could look worse I guess.

The boots I have no idea. Would like something rugged looking + waterproof. I'm doing some shopping on my own but would love to hear any suggestions from you beautiful mens.

...I carry an umbrella.

Like this one:

Shoes? I just wear my Red Wings 875's normally when the weather sucks.

 

[haunted_taco]

Yeah I have an umbrella but sometimes when it's raining really hard that's not enough.

I guess buy a better umbrella would be another suggestion.

I have two Davek umbrellas (the blue traveler and a red golf one) that I got of Gilt for a great price each. Also the warranty on the Davek is nice as they cover you if it's lost/stolen - just have to register the umbrella (comes with an ID card).

 

[haunted_taco]

those Red Wing 405's are waterproof and look like I'd actually wear them even when it's not wet.

Just went through all of Sherlock this last week. This is how I want to wear my scarf. How do I loop it like that? Also the long peacoat looks awesome on certain people.

[Deadly Cyclone]

Slipknot?

Aha, thanks! Now to get a better scarf for it.

Also thinking of a longer peacoat. Mine is waist level now. I'd also like a more "fitted" peacoat, like a slim fit. Does such a thing exist?

#teamuntucked checking in. Letting it all hang out.

Lookin' good my socal bro.

 

[Desmond]

This thread is phenomenal. :O. Also, I have a pair of fairly light grey trousers. What should they be paired with colour-wise? I'm guessing dark colours, navys and black sweaters? What about shoes.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Lookin' good my socal bro.

Thanks man, getting local love makes it all worthwhile.

 

[thezerofire]

[luckyboyceo]

Seattle Manshion GAF v. SoCal Manshion GAF. Let's do it.

#teamuntucked checking in. Letting it all hang out.

That looks good, but #teamtucked needs more love. I'll have to show you guys how it's done later this week.

This is a pretty useful youtube in case you want to learn more scarf styles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU

I've been using it lately.

 

[Salazar]

Got this on sale. Unpicked the rather ugly motif - and the scoop in the pocket looks alright with it gone. Pretty well-made jacket. Only need to replace the buttons to be genuinely happy with it.

Looks like The End from MGS3 is into street style now.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

*slow claps*

 

[Antagon]

Great look. Are those the APC's?

Need an extra pair of jeans, my Tellason's are at nearly 6 months and I'd like to put an extra pair in the rotation.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

My apc's are still stiff as fuck and feel like burlap. My fault for having like 4 brand new pairs of jeans in my rotation at once. No time to break in.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Yeah, I say we show all these seattle mofos what style really is.

Damn straight. Socal represent.

Anyways, just bought a Golden Goose jacket for $350. Two months ago, the same jacket was $1100. Yeeeaaahhhhh!

 

[Marcovaldo]

someone here was saying marni knits are really nice, any specific recommendations? looking to get some knits for spring given it's basically an extended winter here

Yep, APCs.

Well I might have just scored a pair of og highs, so I can get them and wait for the raf sales. yess.

 

[EVOL 100%]

Guys are waistcoats, vests and their ilk tryhard?

Waistcoats have been a staple of classic men's style for decades. Unless it doesn't fit or is in some bizarro Don Cherry-esque pattern, I don't see why it wouldn't be fine. I have several myself.

 

[velvet_nitemare]

SoCal checking in as well, represent!

Just picked this up

the one on yoox? good buy, I was scoping that myself haha. GG is slept on.

I really dig my Patagonia jacket. I have the Super Cell Jacket. The gore tex jackets are always going to be the best thing for true water proof protection, but it can be expensive. I got the black one and I think it is very stylish. The fit is good and it has enough room to wear layers underneath. With some warm layers I was able to survive single digit temps while skiing this past weekend. Stayed quite warm. The jacket itself is not really warm, but it keeps the cold wind and rain out. I usually wear a wool shirt jacket under it for warmth.

For rugged waterproof boots take a look at Bean Boots. I have the 10 inch ones and they are good boots. The tongue is sealed all the way up the boot to keep your feet dry, and because the bottoms are rubber there is no break in time like with most leather boots. Mine were comfortable right from the start. You can buy removable liners for extra warmth too.

mmm

 

[Reneledarker]

Which one do you like the most?

Or could you recommend me some pants/trousers of that style?

Do not want to spend more than 200-250 dlls.

 

[skynidas]

second one

 

[thezerofire]

if it's part of a 3 piece suit it's fine, if it's without a jacket it looks like bartender wear

 

[Alucrid]

u welcome

 

[Reneledarker]

Thanks, but they double my budget

 

[freenudemacusers]

Just sell plasma/body

 

[Illithid Dude]

I was. I have their basic mens grey cashmere cardigan, and it's the softest cashmere I've ever felt. Also, it goes with everything, which is always a plus.

the one on yoox? good buy, I was scoping that myself haha. GG is slept on.

The Corner, technically, but semantics.

 

[ZROCOOL]

I'm horrible at shopping for pants, and I really like this style. Can someone help me here? And my budget is around 45-60$

Might be picking up these shoes, from what I've been reading they're awesome for running, jogging, cardio etc..

Can I have the name of these?

I guess my question wasn't really "menswear". Thanks, this is a good answer and those boots look like just what I need.

The jeans are APC's, which are raw denim. Guessing they're going for 150-200 in the US?

You could check out Unbranded (which is actually a brand) for more affordable stuff, but be prepared to wear them a lot and not wash them more then once every 4-6 months or so.

 

[Auron_Kale]

May be a bit strange, but I'm trying to get some more color ideas for laces my Clarks:

Any opinions?

Looks like a secret code for some subculture like BDSM or the likes.

Like Antagon said, your best bet for that price range is Unbranded Denim. They'll run you closer to $75 but they're well worth it. If you haven't been wearing raw denim you're definitely in for a surprise at first. They're going to feel much heavier/stiffer/slimmer than what you're probably used to but you'll get used to it and be much better off in the long run.

You can make this work but it's entirely dependent on the rest of your outfit. Something like that is easy super easy to botch unless you really plan out your color coordination for the pieces.

 

[Alucrid]

laces look cheesy. just buy some leather ones or something.
