I'd go to an Army/Navy Surplus store if you can find one, they're not under $100 but the best you can get for close to it
Fashion-Gaf, suggestions on good walking shoes and day bags for when you're on vacation (in this case, Vegas)? Have to carry more stuff than would fit in my pocket, but I don't want to look like a complete tourist. Bag mostly needs to fit a digital camera and possibly a tablet.
Bag-wise, I've been looking at http://www.pacsafe.com/metrosafe-200-gii-shoulder-bag-10.html or possibly http://www.onabags.com/store/small-goods/the-bowery.html?color=field-tan#field-tan

during one of their better sales combined with their extra codes, i came away with three pairs of pants, four shirts, and a lambswool sweater for like $280, felt like a nice win. I've found their XS shirts to be a perfect fit for me in pretty much any style they make.
None around me.

I have the Filson original briefcase and it's the shit and I constantly get compliments on it from men and women, but it is a little pricey. Quality is worth the extra dough for something that will last a lifetime.
Original Filson briefcase, $248
I also considered this bag; it looks a little pursey at times, but whatever, rock your manbag.
Ona Bag, The Bowery $129
Desert boots, full stop. You're going to be in the desert so you want someone light, but still comfortable. Also, you can wear these into a bar or classier casino without looking like a jackass.
Clarks Desert Boots, Suede or Beeswax
You'll find them anywhere, online or brick and mortar. Look for big sales and hopefully you'll get them for less than $100.
J Crew McAlister suede desert boots.
I actually think these are nicer than the Clarks because the toe-box creates a slightly sleaker silhouette. On sale for $100 for a couple more hours.

H&M has *decent* ones for not too much but it really depends on how long you want it to last and how cold it'll get. They were surprisingly woolly when I checked a few years ago but it is H&M so you get what you pay forNone around me.
What do you guys think?

Top is mainly wool, bottom isn't, but is half the price. What do you guys think?

second one.
I'll have to check out the shoes in person before I even think of getting them. Feet are on the larger side of what's available, and don't want something that elongates them too much to try for slender. Looks like there's both in a mall about 30 minutes from here. Must check them out this week.
Thanks for the bag suggestions. Heard plenty of great things about Filson, and they'd class my look up a good deal. Current bag is a bit too "computer guy".
And I should really pay more attention to this thread. Current wardrobe consists of a pair of sneakers and a lot of jeans/tshirts....and too many of those tshirts are game-themed.

Have thought about distressing a pair of denims for some time now and I found an old, cheap pair that I hadn't worn in some time to use as my test subject. Here's the result after one wash.
Thoughts? Tips?

Run - not walk - to the nearest tailor to get those rips fixed up.

get on that mid 00s ripped throwback bro
Just google searched, what the hell is this?
Older variation of the "goth ninja" trend I would assume.

I need that shawl/scarf in my life. It would make me an immortal fashion god among men.

shame undercover is so hard to find in the u.s. at least the brand is relatively cheap, as far as designers go. t-shirts are only like $90!

tototkaeloman carries undercover, but iirc, it's much cheaper to proxy buy from japan. where is oddmorsel when you need him?
edit: I guess they don't anymore lawl.

Got one of those and it rocks. Only thing that bothers me is seeing other guys carry it around. It's pretty popular, at least where I am (NYC).I have the Filson original briefcase and it's the shit and I constantly get compliments on it from men and women, but it is a little pricey. Quality is worth the extra dough for something that will last a lifetime.

A barcelona flag? What kind of garbage is that?

that's my roommates side reflected. rest assured, my half is super tasteful, hence the muji mirror
Anyone else?
Last good UC collection was like 2009 and the john / sue stuff is WhAcK.
that said I bought UC pants two weeks ago at UC aoyama
I was looking for something more in line with this. But i cant seem to find that colour anywhere...only an olive drab colour which I didnt like
This look is so boss. Too bad it's so freakin hot to pull off.

I'd go second one, wear it with the collar up like a pro.
I was thinking the second one, but I was worried that it wouldn't be warm enough. Hmmmmm.
