Chippewa boots are better outdoor boots than the Wolverine 1000 Mile. The Wolverines are basically the perfect city boot, in my opinion. That's not to say you can't take them hiking, you can, you'd just be better off doing so with a rubber sole or something of that nature, which a lot of people elect to put on anyway.
Not sure where you heard "talk about their quality," but as someone who's worn Wolverine exclusively for the last two years, I can tell you they are the best (and most comfortable) boots I've ever owned. Just treat the leather sole applicably and you'll be fine.
I had some Cheap Monday skinny jeans back in the day that probably cost me like $40-50. You could try looking them up.

Love those dark blue mid cuts at the end of the back row.Global Sneakers invasion
Rock what you rock mane, I think it's pretty cool. Outlandish no doubt, and flowers aren't usually my thing, but it's really stylish.
cool, thanks guys..
I actually have some a $30 pair from Target, but they aren't really skinny =\ More like slim straight (even though they are advertised as skinny)
I think I'm just gonna go with levis, probably these if I can't find a retailer.

Yeah I plan on beating the shit out of these and wearing them quite a bit. I also looked at the Iron Rangers, which I liked but they were a little outside of my budget. I also liked the vibram sole on the Chippewa's better than the cork(?) sole on the Iron Rangers for now. I would have had to tack on another almost $60 to have a cobbler add a vibram layer to them. I can see myself probably getting a pair sometime next year though because the Iron Ranger in amber harness is so good.
I liked the Mclean that was on sale at Nordstrom, I tried them on and they were really nice but decided against them because of the sole and also because I knew I was going to wear them outdoors. So that's why I went with the chippewa instead. Seemed more rugged but still having that classic look. I was just going by some comments I saw on the styleforums about them, but then again they tend to blow stuff out of proportion over there from what I've noticed lol.

Nuhhhhhhh I have some kind of muscle down there.. I rollerblade a lot.. (actually, because of the rollerblading most of the muscle is on my thighs)
I always end up getting this look..
.. when I want something more like this..
Like I said, I have muscle, it would be kind of cool to show it off somehow.

It's likely the cut. Try on some skinny tapered jeans from uniqlo. It's snug but it has stretch so it'll help show muscles.

These chromexcel Wolverine 1000-milers have a single leather sole and some guys were wearing them every day and broke through the sole in like 4 months.
Some people just don't know that you shouldn't wear leather-soled shoes every day; you should alternate with another pair and avoid wearing in wet weather as much as possible.
There are some gorgeous Aldens with their sturdier commando soles for preorder right now if anyone has half a grand to blow:

What up, babe.
Jeans are tricky since there are so many different types of cuts. You might try and find something with 2% elastane in it if you want that ultra-skinny look. Typically those are cut even slimmer since the stretch fabric is more workable.
They're classics for a reason. Super versatile sneaker. Planning on picking up a pair myself and making them my new gym shoes.
freenudemacusers

yeah if you dat body contour and a skinny fit you need that elastane. 2% is more than enough. the aforementioned walmart signature levis do not have any stretch to them, but they have a lot of give, fwiw.

Those Vibergs are my dream boots but I can't justify $700 for calfskin leather, even it is horsemen chromexcel.

Midnights did you cop some leather pants too or is that just an Illithid Dude thing?
i've never seen any close to my size available, so i had to jump!

those vibergs ain't my personal bag but they look great. are they still doing that cat's paw sole?
freenudemacusers
Member
actually that looks better, like a working man's dainite sole; the cat's paw sole didn't have as much traction to it.
freenudemacusers

you're going to look 99.9% better than anyone there, quite possibly including the groom. though, is the jacket navy or black? if the latter, I'd go for navy, personally. can't tell from the photo, but just make sure your sleeves are nice and tidy at the right length.

So gaf wasn't helpful at all on my SLP dilemma. Depending on how much inheritance I get from my grandfather though, I might just through a curveball and go all out and buy a SLP leather perfecto.

I would love to get a pair of those Aldens but those prices lol. I would be afraid to wear them out and worried they would get scuffed up considering how much they are.
With proper maintenance, this worry will fade because quality shoes will last a long while.
With all of my quality shoes, I put them in shoe trees every night and do a regular conditioning/cleaning/polishing every month.

So far I haven't had to deal with any of my stuff being ruined but it's a just matter of time before some drunken fool spills a drink on me somewhere.
That's just the life you choose when you buy high price clothing.

Try the Levi's 513. They are slim with a straight opening leg, which means it looks great with both sneakers or boots.
when it comes to fit, those Levi's are by far the best pair that I ever tried.
Besides, being Levi's means they are cheap.

While I still haven't found the perfect jacket that I want at the price point I can afford, I still kinda wanna get another jacket.
What are your guys' thoughts on this: http://www.ae.com/men-aeo-black-coated-denim-jacket/web/s-prod/0106_9511
Never worn a denim jacket before.
I also realized that my life won't be complete without these:
or a similar boot in that colour.

denim jackets are cool but i don't know if coated denim is a good first toe dip. maybe that particular item is different, but IME coated/waxed shit is *shiny* in daylight. now this might not be bad (i have coated denims #yolo), but just something to consider.
NotTheGuyYouKill
Member
I've never had one (not sure I've even seen one in sunlight), so thanks for the heads-up. If it's not too shiny, it might be a worthwhile purchase. It's well within my budget and I got a gift certificate.
How shiny do they look? Like plastic or something?
