WARNING: BRAG

I lucked out with a Spiewak N1 jacket the other day in Toronto for $30!!! That's THIRTY CANADIAN DOLLARS, from an MSRP of 350+ CAD.

Was on "sale" for $199 and seconds after I put it down the clerk approaches me and gives me the good news. :)

100% Alpaca wool inner lining, 100% mouton collar, 100% waxed cotton outer shell. Shit feels like it could stop a knife.

Love it.

Yah it is. Went back for a second look and found the jacket had more pockets and whatnot than I initially thought, so whoops, out came the Amex.

Are you washing with cold water afterwards? Also are you applying aftershave lotion? For what it's worth, I don't think shaving everyday is good for your skin, so if you can hold off on shaving even for a few days you'll probably have better results.

Not that cold, and no, I don't apply aftershave lotion. I have noticed that if I shave like every two days I get a better, closer shave, but my shitty mustache grows so fast but only the sides. Makes me look stupid.

hah cool, you should really go deep into this movie-producer-riviera steez.

yeah I can do a day max without shaving, after that I look like a pedophile.
 
do you remeber that UGLY H&M jacket? well it surfaced again on American Idol last night :D

I hope they bought that ugly thing in a sale ...
Wow at this actually getting some wear. That makes two confirmed purchases from what I know, can't imagine many more.

Those are sick. Salazar is correct, they'd look beautiful with a dark green jacket. Velvet is even better!

Looking great, dude.

Hey, if Joe Perry can rock the sans-middle 'stache then so can you!

how much did all of that cost you? looks dope.

Maybe $200 over the course of several years? Only the jacket is new; jeans and sweater are from way back when I lived in NY, moccs were $25 on clearance (they're legit Italian, at least), socks and the three pins on the jacket were a few bucks, and the scarf was a hand-me-down from a friend.

Thrifty is nifty.
 
Definitely depends on what kind of store you go to though. My experience browsing through Goodwill has not been good. Bus told me of a few better places I've yet to check out though so I'll probably have to do that soon.
 
since i'm in nowheresville I can't get to all these dope thrift places. did get some nice discount bis-caz neutrals on ebay and hautelook. closet is slowly rebuilding.
 
How do you pronounce chukkas? I went into J Crew to ask about the "chuck-uhz" on the manikin and the sales rep looked at me like a pauper in line for the royal wedding. Is it "chew-cuz?"

I think you got it right the first time. Sales person might not know what a chuck boot is.

Spring/Summer is around the corner, and I am going to start riding my bicycle again. Commute is fairly short, and I want to have a pair of shoes that dont look too sporty. For the days that I am just going to hang out with friends at a cafe/bar.

Which one of these do you guys like? Same price and both are very, very comfortable.

I don't really like the shape of the toe, but I don't know anything about bike riding. That said, if the choice is between the two, the bottom one. The broguing on the top pair makes it look like a doll shoe or something.

Speaking of sneakers, I'm realizing that I need some margielas in my life. shit.
