Anyone ever heard of Giorgio Brutini shoes? Might cop some cap-toe oxfords for $50.

I'm pretty sure they're usually in the $60-75 range. Don't let the name fool you.

Yea, I did some research and saw the same. God damn those fancy Italian-sounding names. :/

Intro to colour

And this tumblr page is pretty good

Awesome, thanks.

For reference here are the pants, and shirt I wear with them. Lighting may make them look a bit different. Both are slightly darker.

Does anybody know of a good varsity jacket that is less than 100 dollars?

Try H&M / Urban Outfitters. JackThreads has a bunch right now, too.

 

[cacophony]

asos has varsity jackets for $60-90

I pretty much NEED all of these shoes. My goodness...

Thoughts on these shoes? I see they are discounted.

I am not sure if I am a fan of the color difference between the sole and shoe. I do need a new pair of black dress shoes though.

Edit: Yikes sorry for the huge picture

 

[Boken]

They look like school shoes

 

[Zilch]

The oversized brass eyelets make me think they'd be a poor choice for a serious "dress" shoe.

 

[Captain Blood]

Word, thanks guys. For 50% off of $150 I figured it was worth getting an opinion.

 

[freenudemacusers]

would be nice casual chunky shoe, but not something I would wear with a suit or in a 'dress' context.

 

[omgkitty]

I just bought a pair of these:

They're super comfortable.

That sole is ugly as hell. Might as well be wearing crocs. In your strive for comfort, don't go half ugly, go all the way.

The sole actually isn't noticeable when they're on. I was worried about it too when I first saw it.

Ahh ok. Glad to hear that, as I was a bit worried for you there.

UK Manshion gaf,

Looking for somewhere that does really good graphic t shirts.

I'd shop on the high street but I hate when I'm out and I see someone with the same clobber as me.

Anyone aware of any good websites for me to check out.

Cheers

I might be going to India sometime in the summer and since I'm in need of a suit, I'm thinking of getting something made there. Anyone have any sort of experience with this? (Not specifically in India or whatever, but getting a suit tailor made in a foreign country)

All my cousin told me to do is bring the material along with the style of suit that I want them to make. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Any suggestions for where to get pants for work? I wear dress pants + polos most days. Any decently priced khakis that are comfy, or are chinos ok as well?

Hey gaf, is this safe for a job interview at a bank? I have a white, non-club collar shirt that's safer, but I wore that with a different tie to the first one. I'm kind of limited far as shirts go, obviously I'll need to pick up some more if I get the job.

over thinking things a bit. that is totally fine.

That's pretty much what I'd expect a banker to wear, yeah.

 

[spicy cho]

Cool, thanks guys. I've just read some hate on club/contrast collars on reddit, so I figured I'd ask. I figured it was fine, and I hate the reddit community in general so I guess it was a sign I'm on the right track.

the contrast collars are typically called "banker" shirts anyways. buy a whole lot when you get the job I only ever had one, fit like shit so I tossed it. but I've been meaning to pick up another.

 

[p_xavier]

So I'm in Paris and I did a little bit of shopping today.

I got this Issey Miyake Watch:

The packaging is so neat, the watch is embedded in a giant post it block. I'll post a pic when I'm back home.

Don't know if you've heard of them, but I picked that one up from frank & oak at the beggining of the month. I've gotten three shirts from there so far, very pleased with the fit.

New Standards. I went with a 28 since I wasn't sure if they were using the new sizing or not like they are with some raw pairs. So a 28 would be one up from what I normally buy or one down from what I normally buy. Turns out it was one up.

I'll live with em though mainly because 28 was the smallest size they had and no they're out of stock. I'm sure once I get break them in they'll drape better.

Wasn't aware of the new sizing policy of APC? Are they sizing up or down ?

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I find it hard to find t-shirts that look good on me. I'm tall, and have long, lean muscles, so I like to wear shirts with short sleaves. Anything that goes near my elboes, I hate it. I work at Sports Authority, and nothing from Under Armour and Nike (well, besides UA cotton charge and Tech shirts) I can find.

might look into this. i have a small frame, so XS is a requirement but even those can be somewhat billowy

 

[Lunchbox]

what are those plastic sunglasses with colored handles called?

like the glasses and the frame are black plastic and the side handles are green, orange, blue etc. you see them at the beach alot

I only own one tie and I think I've worn it once, but I feel like I need this tie.

What would this actually work with?

Yea, I have strong features so these glasses suit me well. Keep trying different styles and frames man. I'm sure you'll find something.

picked up some boat shoes over the weekend:

getting warmer over here, so i hope to wear these out on the weekend with some rolled up chinos

Have you tried the mossimo athletic fit from target? They have high and tight armholes and taper nicely through the waist, and are a pinch on the longer side, and they fit much better than say American apparel or Hanes, fwiw.

Please post a fit pic. I'm still on the fence on the whole boat shoes thing and I want conrcete evidence to convince me.

Unless I am on an actual boat I don't get it at all.
Especially the bolded

Thanks!

Depends on the face but Ray-Bans are always hot.

I got these myself because they fit my face perfectly

Unless I am on an actual boat I don't get it at all.

I also haven't been drawn in by Sperry's or Moccasins. Probably because I see them way too much around here.

 

[Violater]

I need a new look that will work for a black male in his early 30's that wont make me look like a douche, or too preppy.
I wish I was man enough to pull off a captain badass, but then again who doesn't.

Tie your knot bigger with that kind of collar.

I agree about the rolled-up chinos (wtf, just wear shorts bro); but Sperries are classic and look good in damned near any setting. They're casual but sharp.

There's classic prep and there's hipster prep. One is lame, and one is timeless.
