thanks brehs. might get another white and two washed black and call it good. i like hanes for what they are but i've had two hemlines shred on me after one wash.

Speaking of, where can I find some nice, soft white t-shirts that AREN'T see-through?

/ethnicnipples

I'll do a street report of my white one tomorrow. hopefully the slub reduces brown nip visibility.

 

[SoulPlaya]

What do you guys think? Everyday work dress shoes that can also double on decent occasions for more formal wear. Don't care about comfort.

Much appreciated!

 

[thezerofire]

I definitely like the top one more than the bottom, but I'm not really a fan of either's toe shape

Or

don't know what your budget is but it's usually best to keep it simple for formal purposes, ie, captoe or medallion toe at most. "Formal" shoes usually don't have anything on them at all.

i find this strangely appealing though I would never do any of it

I've tried on jackets with those removable sleeves and they're just the worst.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Take the collar off, leave the sleeves.

I don't really see the point and it's not a particularly nice jacket IMO but eh, it's a thing I guess.

The point it can be a vest one day and a jacket the next. That's what I call value.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I've had a couple of detachable sleeve jackets (kva and something else I can't remember) and it didn't bother me, but it was completely something I never once did. I think it will make a nice casual summer jacket tho

 

[SoulPlaya]

How about these shoes then? They're Clarks, and about $25 more expensive than the others I posted.

 

[Marcovaldo]

After seeing your tag I recommend john lobb or Edward green

 

[freenudemacusers]

those are better, but I would go balmoral over derby if possible

a little nitpicky but most won't notice.

My tag has nothing to do with my financial status, unfortunately, lol.

Sorry for bugging you guys constantly, but I'm really trying to step my fashion game up.

I got the uniqlo oxford pink shirt, and I love it. I'm planning on picking up the blue (or light blue really, I guess) one, as well, but I want to pick up another one, as well, and I'm debating between light gray and the navy. I was leaning towards the navy, but I already have a navy colored shirt similar to it, and I'm picking up some gray jeans that I think would work really well with the light gray shirt, so I'm leaning towards picking that up now. What do you guys think?

Here's the shirt, for reference.

[freenudemacusers]

that's a pretty versatile light grey so I say go for it. Will work well with dark greys, blue, olive, etc.

Definitely not. What's your budget? The Johnston and Murphy Melton is the low end for black dress shoes.

 

[SoulPlaya]

They're way more expensive than I'm willing to spend, honestly. Those Clarks I posted are $75 on Amazon.

What pants do you think I should buy to go with them? (the light gray shirt, I mean).

These

or

Could use opinions from others, as well.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Man, I gotta sit here for 5 days and just wonder if size 45 GATs will fit well.

the mustard would be ok, though I would go with a slightly darker grey if I could.

sticking with uniqlo, I'd go with these

I'll take that into consideration, but I really like the pants that I posted. I have others like them (different colors), and they fit me well and look great. I don't want to gamble again.

Now, are you saying I should get the mustard pants? I would be wearing them with beeswax leather Clark Wallabees, btw. Do you mean I should get a darker gray shirt, or darker gray pants (instead of the mustard)?

 

[thezerofire]

first coat of paint is on the DIY MMM x Converse, looking surprisingly good. The sidewalls, eyelets, and round logo are the only things making me go back to put on a second coat or else I'd be done

 

[Alucrid]

Gonna want pics brah

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Yeah, pics please.

 

[thezerofire]

Post round 1:

still needs at least one more coat, probably more for the rubber. it's definitely going to take a little breaking in too, the paint doesn't dry that soft. but the color is really nice

 

[captainwhat]

I tried on a pair of nudies at a retail store today and the price tag was $240!

ASOS is having a crazy sale for students right now 25% off everything, and
I got a pair of crappy sunglasses, and TWO pairs of nudies for 300 bucks total.

yeayuh!

 

[Alucrid]

i wouldn't pay that price tag for nudies

 

[flamingotripod]

wouldnt pay over $60 for nudies

 

[CFMOORE!]

any of you guys know where i can also get the red version of these at or slightly below the $405 price at the corner?

http://www.thecorner.com/us/men/sneakers_cod44639426mb.html

I am gonna buy the blue ones too, but want red as well. also, if the blue ones can also be found slightly below $405 that would be cool if possible. but i won't hold my breath.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Tracked down those Oliver Peoples NDGs for $240 (retail at $410). Picked up a few scoop necks. All set for summer.

i wouldn't pay that price tag for nudies

wouldnt pay over $60 for nudies

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Although, some people swear by Nudies and would easily pay more than $300. To each his own I suppose.

 

[Salazar]

New shoes acquired. Well, paid for.

 

[overcast]

Love these. Anything similar-ish that's more like 100 dollars?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Hmm, I had a little look, and saw these Kenzo ones that are very similar but only $100 cheaper:

http://www.ssense.com/men/product/kenzo/blue_leather_low_top_circuit_sneakers/94978

Or at the far other end of the scale and not all that similar but only $45:

http://m.adidas.com/us/mobile/product/mens-neo-vulc-toe-low-shoes/GAE80?cid=F38230&breadcrumb=

The colour is a lot darker, they aren't leather and that dotted pattern is probably an acquired taste, but other than that they're exactly the same!

Just thought they were similar and cheap enough to be worth including.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

So I just checked my bank account and there's no history of my tbs purchase on there anymore. It just disappeared not pending or anything but the package shipped on Friday.

 

[captainwhat]

Hm I'll have to reconsider my nudies purchases then. I got them off ASOS so returning them should be easy enough.

I'm 5'10" and about 148 lbs so I'm pretty fucking skinny. I usually wear levi's 510s, and the nudies tight long johns fit pretty well.

I know people hate on skinny jeans, but man I look like David Byrne when I'm not wearing them.

Any other jeans that are actually skinny?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Nudies aren't even that bad these guys are just snobs. Granted I only buy that brand if it's deeply discounted.

Acne just released a super skinny fit.

In other news, I really want this scarf

And Aitor Throup is going to G-Star Raw? What's up with that?

 

[thezerofire]

Anyone have experience with Generic Man? Found some great clean white hi-tops from them

501s are baggy on me too. Levi's 510, 511, and 513 are much better.

They only people that hate on skinny jeans are the ones who still dress like it's the fucking 90's and they're still 16 years old.

[Marcovaldo]

Mac and illithid?? What happened?

 

[CFMOORE!]

two additions to the Margiela family

 

[thezerofire]

So, anyone with experience with Generic Man Sportsman sizing? compared to Jack Purcells or Converse hi tops ideally

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

two additions to the Margiela family

looks like we both got them a day early.

 

[overcast]

Those Margiela sneakers are terrific. Damnnn.

Illithid and Mac both went out for tepid posts, disappointing. Going to miss them around here for a bit.
