Chippewa Service Boots are 20% off on Amazon.com today, which means they're roughly $209 to the usual $259.

I originally wanted the Sand Suede ones but now I'm leaning towards getting the Burgundy ones:

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This one

Thanks. The two friends I asked also said the same, but it's always good to get a third party's opinion.

Might have to pick these up for the fall. Looks nice.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Ok, I'm going for it. $200 boots, most expensive clothing thing I've ever bought.

fwiw, I tried on a pair of nearly identical Red Wings yesterday at Nordstrom Rack that were $155. "Your mileage may vary" is always super applicable when it comes to the Rack, of course.

Can I see these online?

 

[LeroyPantwether]

Finally bought a pair a persols. The springy stems are cool. I am happy

 

[Nesotenso]

anyone know any alternatives to svpply?

 

[freenudemacusers]

lyst and polyvore are the only ones I know about. lyst is more higher end in general than svpply, fwiw. I've found if I just punch vague descriptors into google shopping or GIS to find a particular type of item, then go from there to actually find a place to buy it, that works well enough, since you'll get links to svpply, lyst and co anyway.

thanks, svpply is no more

 

[freenudemacusers]

oh wow, I swear I was just browsing the site a couple weeks ago. I've heard of some tinder-like shopping apps for phones but the names escape me and I don't know if they do men's stuff.

Well, the boot itself was Red Wings' Heritage Beckman in black cherry but Nordstrom Rack doesn't have an online inventory because stock is different in every location (Rack is overstock, discontinued, etc). If there's one near you, you'd just have to call to see if they have that particular shoe or could get it from another nearby store.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I bought some new basics for fall and saved some money.

 

[reggieandTFE]

new Viberg's that went on sale this past Monday. Horsehide!

Perfection. How much were they?

 

[BadTaste]

With a chest size of 37 inches I can't decide between 2 size choices for a jacket - Small (36-38 inches) or Medium (38-40 inches).

 

[CFMOORE!]

shipped, $805. I am continually impressed with Viberg's quality and their sturdy and great packaging too! I fear for my wallet if they continue to drop these surprise makeups.

 

[Alucrid]

eh base it off other measurements like sleeve length or shoulder width?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Probably gonna have to choose on a case by case basis. Even within brands the sizing can change based on each piece. Maybe try and find the item on a site that offers detailed measurements.

go small, medium will probably be too wide in the shoulder.

asos only really go by chest size, they do however list how tall the model is in said pic along with what chest size he's wearing.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Most stuff on asos is like three sizes smaller than usual so get the XL.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Wasn't someone looking for these shoes, or am I just making that up?

I thought they were cool but alas I am a 42. cool site though. will have to stay peeped for those early dior homme / kva sheer blazers and haute amish miscellany.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Saw someone going full normcore today.

What exactly is "normcore"? I thought I knew, but then I Google image searched and it came back with loads of different styles ranging from white tees and stonewash to loud neon sweaters and baseball caps.

Clear as mud!

Quick thoughts on these?

Pretty cool, although I feel like there are too many shades of brown.

But they seem like smart casual trainers, I think they'd work with most jeans and even trousers.

 

[overcast]

I always thought normcore was stonewash and new balances.

 

[Jugendstil]

This - if you're a big boned / thick / team chunk like me (6'3", 210lbs) size UP with anything from the ASOS house brand.

i havent bought much from jcrew, picked 3 some shirts and a sweater and the cart total is 288$ before taxes :|

do they have sales any time of the year? or should i expect to pay around this amount

 

[hoggert]

normcore is seinfeld style: baggy blue jeans, ll bean flannel, huge hair, sneakers. the phrase was coined a year and a half ago and was hip 30 years ago, so get on it asap

they are ALWAYS having sales. and depending on your size, you will be able to clean house there during sales.

I'm in California for a week, from the UK. I'll be around San Jose. Where's worth shopping? I don't have a huge budget, and usually shop around the likes of Uniqlo here.

 

[sammelito]

Hey guys, im looking for a dark olive green/camo grey cotton field jacket, preferably with a "rugged" kind of look and feel to it. Found one by scotch & soda but its from 2013 and out of stock everywhere. Price is not a huge issue as long as they ship to sweden. Any tips?

they have a muji, which can often yield interesting not-expensive shit. they also have a boutique consignment shop (Crossroads), which in Seattle can sometimes have cool stuff for pretty good prices, and browsing is a fun way to kill an afternoon with a friend. beyond that, I'm not seeing anything of real note outside of the standard stuff you can probably find across the pond.

 

[usea]

this looks nice, what's the name/brand?

Dikirnis by Aldo

 

[Shizuka]

Hello everybody, I'm new to Men's Fashion GAF! I was trying to find a good place to discuss something I found last night, but I think this could be the right place.

I found out of an app called Wish, where you could find several things, but specially clothes, that are sold by third-party sellers for people all around the world. I've found several great coats, pants, shirts and other things, luckily I can fit the asian size they're all in.

I decided to buy this coat today to try out the app, but in case someone has seen it before, is the app reliable? Can I order clothes from them without having to worry?

 

[Desi]

No experience with the app but don't buy that hoodie. It is no good.

I thought the necklace and the overall picture looks a bit tacky, but I'm willing to take a chance and see if it looks better in person. If not, it was pretty cheap anyway.

 

[f0rk]

That jacket is of poor quality and will not fit you like it looks on that ridiculous mannequin.

I know, but the damage has been done.

 

[thezerofire]

I think the warnings about those asian retailers needs to go back in the OP

 

[Lirlond]

Oh wow it's cyclical eh? I love how every year or so someone posts one of those terrible asian jackets.

 

[Oxn]

I know, but the damage has been done.

Darn I bought that in White a week ago also.

Well, Ill see how it is when it gets here, but it wasnt expensive so no worries.
