And thanks for the opinions guys.

 

[friday]

An actual shoulder bag like that? I'm still firmly of the opinion that men shouldn't be rocking these.

Reminds me of that episode of Friends.

Nah man, if you live somewhere like NYC having a bag to carry shit in is a must. You gotta at least have somewhere to put your book and headphones.

 

[HappyBivouac]

I'm just gonna come out and say it. Some of these denim brands produce great stuff, but it doesn't mean they can charge me $100 for a goddamn solid color t-shirt.

maybe you should stop using Friends as your style quota?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Thoughts on bag tho

 

[Zekes!]

I like the bag mac

 

[friday]

I am not big on totes, but it looks nice.

 

[HappyBivouac]

I don't like the "bottom heavy" look of the bag. I've always felt the even, rectangular messenger bag is just more masculine. Not a big fan of that nylon strap either.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I am open to others... Ideally canvas, something shore friendly. I know diddly shit about bags.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I carry a bag every single day, I can't go without it.

At first glance it just looked like a bag that's meant to be slung across the shoulder underneath the arm. You know, like a women's bag or purse.

It clearly isn't though.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Chester Wallace logo on there looks like a fucking qr code from a distance. Just buy a vintage bag or something.

Also, the idea that the method of carrying a bag is any kind of legitimate indication that, y'know, you're a MAN or a sissy queer is just... ugh. Shut up, Hoodoo.

Um.

The way a bag is carried is as much an element of style as anything else. Some styles look more masculine, some more feminine. Most of this is from social conditioning but it's still perfectly valid.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'm assuming the tag is sew on after the fabric is waxed, so I'd probably remove it.

And re vintage I live in Montana lol. Not much in the way of options.

I just want it to coordinate with my strappy wedge heels :-*

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Opinions:




I am going to change the bottom. I lost some weight in the past months, and they do not fit me good anymore.

I don't know if it's the cut or what but I don't like how the jacket looks.

can't get much lower than using a shoe string

Hey man, he's ragging on your cord!

Do you request that stores supply messenger-style plastic bags for your groceries so there's no risk of being mistaken as femme while carrying them in your hands?

Well, you could always get a briefca-- oh.

Hold up, I didn't say anything about being a MAN or queer or anything like that. Stop projecting your own insecurities on me.

I mistakenly recognised the bag as a model that's most often worn by women, that is all. Jesus.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

you're probably fine with the brown Clarks. What are they, Beeswax?

Yeah. Just wondered if grey jeans go with brown. I need to buy some new Clark's anyways.

 

[Lirlond]

Brown shoes go with 99% of clothes tbh

 

[friday]

LL bean has some nice canvas bags. I like the Rangeley Messenger.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You ever think about getting some trainers?

 

[LeroyPantwether]

Went to Nordstroms rack today..

Suspenders/Straps, yay or nay? I think they just might work.

Also scored these jeans, but its hard to find info about them. "Levis matchstick" I don't know anything about denim, but they seem nicer than the Levis I typically see at Macys ect.

 

[freenudemacusers]

while it looks nice it doesn't really gel with my dark grey, light grey, and blue wardrobe.

are jack spade bags aight? mainly looking at something waxed canvas.

I saw one the other day. I like their simplicity, but the ones I liked seemed a bit small for my needs. They also cost more than I want to spend.

Besides those issues I like them. Simple and classy.

 

[Vox-Pop]

I brought a Jack Spade bag many years ago. It's a decent looking bag.

 

[friday]

So I have been wanting some hi tops for a while now. What do you guys think; vans, pf flyers, tretorn?

I am digging these two

I really like the navy, but the desert camo is pretty rad. Man I wish they had vintage duck camo.

Camooooo

 

[giga]

Oh also what do y'all think of this

http://www.chesterwallace.com/index.php/shop/greydrivershop/

I need a casual summer bag thing

Don't like it. If you want a bag to last, go leather. Genuine leather bags from a reputable company should last you a long time if you don't treat it like shit.

What's your budget? Shoulder straps? Are you just looking for messenger--what about briefcases or duffels?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Budget... $300? Like I said, I want something casual, an item I can toss beer/towel/etc in for the shore/beach and not look stupid when I hit the streets for lunch, if that makes sense. I'm not opposed to leather I just think canvas is a more casual material, but that might be dumb thinking re: longevity. I just want a simple modern item without a lot of doodads, saggy shapes or distressing.

Looking at jack spade their wax pocket brief pretty much fit the bill. At the same time, I like the vibe of the kris van assche eastpak but it slides into the too much stuff/saggy department. Just giving you an idea of where my head is at.

Like I said I know nothing of bags so I'm wide open.

 

[Vox-Pop]

My feet are growing but my penis stays the same. :'(

I went from 11 to 11.5/12 last year.

I tried out the new Nike Flyknits today and a 12 didn't fit. They must run small.

Will get these once I file my taxes, and maybe some new jeans...

 

[friday]

Have you looked at filson bags Mac? Many of them come in either black or tan. The oil finish twill is supposedly built like a tank. Styling wise they are not exactly modern, so that may be an issue.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Those are next.

Visiting friends in KC today. Went to H&M and grabbed a nice button up and a scarf. I need one closer to Ames. Nice store.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Saw almost all the new N&Fs today. Dungarees are sweet, vintage nudes are cool but it's hard to make out the picture they printed onto the insides of the denim, blue and red weft are nice, suvin els is real soft and nice feeling. It's all really good.

 

[luckyboyceo]

It is a CK blazer, I had it tailored some years ago, used to fit well, but most of my blazers don not fit me well now.

I´m just going to a club tomorrow with some friends and was just messing with the clothes I have.

At the moment I don not have a need for blazers, but once I have one I will come to you guys.

Also my body complexion is really strange, I always have to tailor the blazers I buy, it is kinda annoying.

Bummer on your body type, man. That's a tough thing to fix. The best bet is to just find a brand that works best for you. It's somewhere out there.

Definitely try on an unconstructed blazer next time you can. Not something entirely unconstructed, but something with a little less padding so that it will hug your upper body closer. Also for what it's worth, I recommend all men get their suits tailored even if it's only a minor tweak. Very few of us get to put something on off the rack and have it fit perfectly.

Can't find the green but here's the grey

Thanks, dude. Just realized the green shirt has green buttons. Not really digging that so I may end up going with the grey. Probably more versatile anyway.

Ehh, I've never been a big pan of suspender straps with jeans. To me they jut always scream, "HEY LOOK AT ME!" If your intentions are to wear them with a more formal outfit, then I think you'll be fine.

Sweet, dude. I'm going to be at the BlueOwl showroom tomorrow so I plan on checking all the SS13 models in person.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Suvin will be my next jeans. Blue, black, and grey. Bases covered.

 

[Fritz]

What kinda fit are Levis 511? Urban Outfitters are plastering them all over the place over here but I couldn't really figure it out.

Where @?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Where @?

Am Rag and Barneys. Between them the only thing they were missing was the Kamikaze one and a few others.


That shirt came out looking way worse than it really is. Should have ironed.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Looks cool

.

I agree on the jean w/straps sentiment. My intention was to pair with skinny/slim fitting chinos, and a well fitting henley/v neck/ t shirt. Perhaps I will post a picture to ensure I do not look foolish.

511s are skinny but not super skinny. I like em.

hmm that is like a much nicer version of the canvas messenger bag I use.

Nice dude that looks rad. I've always thought the white shirt/black pants/black shades combo is hard to beat.

I'm super OCD about ironing my dress shirts. If there's even the slightest wrinkle in it before I put it on, I iron the whole thing. I've been late to class numerous times because of this.

Gotcha, that definitely sounds better than wearing them with jeans.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I try to iron all the time but the wrinkles just keep coming back. I'm gonna get some starch tomorrow.


I guess it's just all about that untucked and wrinkled life.

 

[luckyboyceo]

As much as I rep #teamtucked that shirt looks short enough length wise to look fine untucked.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Bro, that shirt is an XL you believe that?

#teamfreakishlytall

 

[Kraftwerk]

O.K

I need to get a suit.

My first suit ever.

My price ranged is $1000-$1500.

What things do I need to consider?

Should I get two good suits, or one nice suit? I know I can get a Burberry for $1500, which I really like.

Use : Formal places I get invited to, weddings, when I go see a show, potential interviews etcc. Not for work....at least for now.

I have been looking at a few, and so far this one really caught my eye for $1400;

Burberry Slim Fit Wool Mohair Suit

As always, open to all advice, recommendations and critique form you guys. Will take my time on this one. WIll be purchasing it around spring - summer.

 

[Antagon]

Hard question. Personally I think that a mohair suit is fantastic for formal events, but might not be the best for interviews. Definitely not for daily wear to work.

That suit looks good though.

 

[Illithid Dude]

That's a hot suit. I say go for it.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Kraftwek I'll post a long reply tomorrow when I'm not drunk but you better not be ordering that suit online.

 

[Horse Detective]

Couldn't agree more. Speaking of...

I kind of want to try gray for a jacket color. I don't know what it is about black, I just don't think I pull it off. I have seen a couple dudes wearing baseball jackets here in strange colors...Might try that.
