What do you guys think of these?
Bonobos is having a Black Friday sale so they'd be $15 off, plus I have a Groupon I bought a while back that I'd be able to use that essentially make them another 50% off.

I have it's brother, the Dockside Lighthouse boot, in a dark red colour; they're seriously awesome. Get 'em.
Edit:
Pretty lame Black Friday for men's fashion, IMO. I was hoping LEC would put a bunch more stuff on sale, but it's just the same late fall stuff that has been in the sale section for weeks and weeks now. Zara has a sale but all the men's stuff that's been slashed is fugly, and even those discounts are tepid at best. Nothing at Warby Parker. GAP sale stuff, even with the additional 20% off, isn't much lower than the last big sale they had.
I'm trying to save money, so I shouldn't complain, but man did they make it easy this year.
The only thing on my radar at the moment: LivingSocial will supposedly be offering some kind of Bonobos deal on Cyber Monday, and on top of that Bonobos will probably have their own deal. Those two combined may make their new denim too tough to resist.

Moccasins? I'm pretty sure these are supposed to be styled after boat shoes...I thought moccasins don't have laces, and are made out of softer materials?

Conventional menswear wisdom says that a belt cuts you in half and disrupts the line of height so if you're of shorter stature, you'd benefit a lore more from not wearing a belt. I'm not sure this is always the case though, cause I feel like that shit doesn't hold up that much for everybody. I just think belts are way too fussy and plus pants with side-adjusters have a custom feel to them.
You're probably right. In either case, something about the flat toe combined with the high ankle/boot type look seems weird.

Well damn, the shoes I posted above are sold out in my size : (
Anyone have recommendations for a similar pair? Bonus points for being on sale for Black Friday. Just looking for a general, all-purpose pair for fall/winter that I can dress up or down.

That's interesting I've never heard that before about the belts. You'd think the pants themselves would also cut you in half.
But different people have different leg-torso proportions. I would think someone with long legs would benefit from the belt. Personally I just think it looks out of place to not have a belt.

It's because it's just a random piece of different material running horizontally while everything else is running vertically.
Definitely! But it only looks out of place if the pants still have belt loops though. Well, at least to me
Very true, but I'd definitely say that it only applies to dress pants though.
It was pretty good for me. Ended up saving a couple hundred dollars on some clothes I got.

yoox is having some good prices on shit right now. Got some marc jacobs 'aeronatical' pants for $85, beats $500 or whatever.
in other fashion news, I will have some size 29-ish pants available shortly, as my wife decided to wash my margiela casual pants with a load of other laundry. fml.

Haven't you post about your wife doing the same thing? Time to do your own laundry

I do 90% of it (this is why), but for some reason she thought pants were safe. oh well.
I'm about to order a jacket online but I'm not sure which size to pick, which leads to this possibly stupid question: where do I measure myself to figure out the size? The site says "S(36), M(38), L(40), XL(42)".
Since it's going to be an import I can't really return it without getting kicked in the ass by extra fees so I want to get it right on the first go. Also not familiar with US sizes.

Those are chest measurements, in inches. the site probably has instructions for measuring yourself.

Not to be a dick but if you have to ask you are gonna get it wrong, and with no real return option? Don't do it.

What did you get? I already got a blazer and desert boots before BF. Plus, I'm not a big online shopper for clothing. I like to try out my clothing, especially due to vanity sizing and inconsistent sizing from brand to brand.
Technically semi-formal is a stroller for daywear and a smoking for eveningwear.
But a dark suit with tie should be apppropriate most times.
I know it's in inches, but the site doesn't give anything beyond the S/M/L/XL correspondence. Guess I'll just check with customer support.
But it's such a nice jacket :<
I guess I can wait until my next trip to the USA, but winter will be over by then.

Oh I thought this was about a blazer on some auction site/etc. With a casual jacket just get your regular US size, but eh, I probably wouldn't go to the trouble of importing a Levis jacket.
Just a few shirts. I'll upload some pics when I get them later this week. Damn, I can't believe that today is only Sunday. Holiday weekend really screwed me up.
Yeah. Seems a bit...middle aged man-ish?
I wear a simple silver bracelet and plan on getting a silver ring. I like silver
Just don't go overboard. Beaded bracelets are in right now, I have a few that I alternate. As long as your jewelry isn't gigantic or gaudy you should be fine.
here's my wrist atm

pristine morning snow
I've never worn anything on my hands or wrists, not even a watch, until recently when I picked up this metal feather bracelet. It's loose and light enough that it doesn't bug me too much, but it doesn't seem likely that I'll start wearing stuff there frequently. The two animal necklaces are my go-to items if I'm in the mood. Etsy and thrift stores are great for finding interesting jewelry that's both cheap and unique.
Found this nice N.Hoolywood shirt while thrifting today. Love the collar and only $10! Their shirts seem to usually be $150+ online.
Hey GAF Need some help, I Recently Lost around 45pounds (20Kg) so now all my wardrobe is pretty much useless (went from Size 40 pants to size 34) and from XL~XXL to M~L.
besides that I actually have ZERO style or fashion knowledge, so id like to build a new wardrobe, and know what and how to wear it.
Im around 1.80 Mts (5'10"), have dark brown hair and my skin color is brown (more like light/tan brown)
Point to the case, is there a guide or something to read that can guide me on what to wear?
Thanks in advance

Guys should your jacket sleeve end before your wrist or at your wrist? I'm 6'2" and I get encouraged to buy 40L jackets but sometimes I feel like there's too much cloth. Any thoughts? Ill try to post a pic of me in a 40L jacket in a bit.
I like to show about a half inch of my shirt sleeve so I guess the jacket sleeve ends a half inch before my wrist.
Tailor it if it's not to your liking.
Bought these boots today after trying on a few pairs, opinions? My first pair of grown up footwear (usually just wear Adidas sneakers) so be gentle!

I have my shirt sleeves end at the wrist-base-of-the-thumb area, and the jacket about where the wristbone is; so roughly 1/2 inch showing.
My friend is the same height and looks perfect in Caruso 42R's, fwiw. Salespeople tend to not know what looks best IMO.
Good choice.
Right on cue, LivingSocial is selling $50 of Bonobos credit for $25. If it's anything like with past deal site offers, it's treated as a gift certificate and therefore stackable with their coupons.
I didn't see anything in the current Terms of Service about referral links, so if you want to use mine, that would be kind of cool. If not, here's the normal link with no referral.
I should also mention that as with normal deal sites, they don't seem to give you the credit same-day (so you won't have the credit to spend on today's Cyber Monday sale over there.)
People love these, so you made the right choice IMO. Depending on how much you spent, you might've also considered Aldens, but I think these look great.

Why not buy from American Apparel?

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
H&M & Old Navy seem to have the colored tee game on lock. Everybody else is afraid to go below $10 unless it's a sale. Once the dust has settled from Christmas shopping, I'll probably hit them up for layers.
