i'm in the market for a good quality cardigan, what brands do em well, and nothing over like 150

 

[dudeworld]

Both ways can look good, but IMO the cuff should be about 4 cm long.

those actually don't look that bad. Probably because you can't really tell since the inside is the same colour as the outside.

 

[Ermac]

The reason my cuff was smaller is cuz I'm pretty short, 5'7, so bigger cuffs don't give me any favors in that department lol.

My recommendation is that you dont cuff at all (I'm 5'6 myself)
and buy shorter length pants

 

[Karram]

Can any one point me to a good online store that sells Nike sneakers or Jordans ? Most stores aren't offering any discounts or deals.

 

[duk]

got both of these for $26 crazy sale on 6pm.com

Allen Edmonds Neumok in blue leather. Would it be possible to pull this off with shorts? I know I'd never try it with my black wingtips, but something about the blue leather and red laces leads me to believe you could rock these in the summer, instead of the typical loafers.

 

[Desi]

I cuff everything.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I cuff everything.

What if the length fits you perfectly? Or do you buy them too long just so you can cuff them?

I think tan & red laces would be more versatile but blue would look fine, depending on what you wear

I'm close to doing the unthinkable and going jeans free this next year, just to see if I can.

That sounds like a terrible existence to me D:

Well I have 5 pocket pants but I haven't worn "denim jeans" in a couple of months.

[bob page]

Ermac's boots are nice, but his photo reminded me of a question.

How many of you roll your jeans/pants up like he does in the pic? What do you think of it? I don't do it, and I personally think it looks somewhat juvenile. (no offense ermac, bro) My mother used to do it for me when I was like 5.

I thought people usually cuff pants when wearing boots. Then again, I just got my first pair of boots, so I have no idea how to wear them either.

By the way, the Chainsaws are awesome- ill post up pics later.

 

[freenudemacusers]

+ grey pants and brown boots. not sure why the fuzz is coming in purple but I promise it's brown

the jacket is almost too warm to wear inside goddamn.

Any suggestions for good, fairly inexpensive, winter coats that can go with dress clothes as well as jeans?

what is your $$ limit? I would say a classic peacoat in charcoal or navy would be a good intro choice. sterlingwear makes them in the $250 range iirc.

That's a bit on the high end, but doable. Anything around $150? I just am tired of my regular Columbia and hate the collar that sticks up. Something that goes well with jeans, as well as dressy clothes (khakis, etc) would be good.

any well fitting peacoat should be OK, but IME at $150 retail you'll have difficulty getting something that looks 'nice'. hit up discount sites and such. you know roughly what size you are?

oh and alucrid i heard you like camo print lulz:

Not sure of my exact size. I am going to look some Tuesday when I'm out. Maybe I'll find something.

what does 'mad men ish' mean? slim fit?

I found a double breasted Perry Ellis jacket at Dilliards that was on sale for about that much. You might check your local stores for a Christmas sale.

I remember hearing something about cheap MTM suits somewhere in Toronto for that price range. Gonna have to look for it

Edit: Found it. Don't know about late January though. I think prices start at 575 before shipping

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Any stores that have after christmas sales today or this week? I live nearby pretty much everything including J. Crew, Jack Spade, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and so on. I would shop online like on Gilt or whatever but I only do that as a last resort because size for me can be a tricky thing at my height.

Ok these are awesome, thanks for that.

Brooks Brothers sale today. Good deal on their ultra slim dress shirts. 4 will run about $150.

new sweatshirt that feels like i'm rubbing kittens all over my body, is incredibly warm and adds +2 points to my old asian grandfather status

 

[Ripclawe]

Anyone know about these outerwear coats? Found it on a wholesaler but some of them especially the grey appeals to me..

picked this up on ebay. i piece random things together lol. i think i'll try to look presentable next year.

What do I wear with chinos? Shoe wise

 

[freenudemacusers]

Pretty much anything. They're super casual pants.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

That was $35? How cheap does it feel? The picture looks good, but I doubt the quality.

I got one of those Korean jackets for a friend a few years ago; the quality is as disposable as you would expect. Think Old Navy but with trendier designs.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Hey guys, question: I got a new dark gray shirt today (it's twill... whatever that means), with the tiny buttons that pin down the collar. Think the dark gray with a navy suit will look alright? Since the shirt's buttons are brown, I was gonna throw on a dark brown tie, but I have no idea if that would look okay. Otherwise I'd go with burgundy or something else.

God, I know nothing about clothing.

 

[entremet]

So any style resolutions for Fashion GAF. I need to step up my eBay, thrifting game.

Pics would help, but navy, dark grey then brown ontop seems kinda drab.

continue my jeans and t-shirt kick.

I'm also growing my hair out long. really fucking long.

I need rebuy suits and blazers. I bulked up and no longer fit in most of them ;_;.

1. drain my closet of shit I don't wear.

2. stick to grey, brown, white and blue.

3. no jeans all year

4. pare my closet down to casual and formal business shit. I kind of either feel comfortable in pants and sneakers or a suit and oxfords. blazers and odd trousers etc I just don't feel right in for some reason.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Pretty much anything. They're super casual pants.

I suppose I need shoe advice in general then. I have a collection of those slipper like shoes and a few formal leather pairs but most of my stuff is very casual

Most of it seems to go better with shorts. None of it really looks right with the pants

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I have a tendency to gravitate towards muted colours, I think. So perhaps my tie should be a splash of bright colour or something?

chinos, depending on material/cut/color etc look fine with suede shoes (or something like rachel comey oxfords, first thing that comes to mind, not super shiny sleek dress shoes) or nicer sneakers. they are kind of more 'dressy' than jeans so keep that in mind.

ie chinos with this:

kind of extreme examples but you get the idea.

looking into the jackets, the ebay seller says asian sizes are smaller than typical American, so if I am an XXL good choice to take a 4XL?

Does he have any measurements at all?

 

[Visceir]

Do they even have 4XL?

They most likely have measurements for each size. I usually wear M, but ordered an L size jacket, it was too short and too wide and somehow I doubt you'll even find XXL sizes for most stuff.

All that cheap asian stuff is made out of rather thin materials and isn't suited for winter weather.

As I mentioned above, I ordered a jacket, I had to get it tailored but it's quite nice now and I'm happy with it. Can't wear it in winter weather though.

 

[Alucrid]

It's funny, I actually ordered two pairs of slim dress pants from one of those korean fashion sites and the fabric is actually pretty decent and they've held up pretty well for two years or so. :lol

If you wear an XXL, those jackets aren't going to look good on you in the first place (and I don't say that under any assumption you're fat; you may be a very tall, muscular guy). They're made for small, slim people.
