anyone can rate those shoes
Because he stopped the granny bullshit and made it look like his namesake label. [ d i e s ] @ him finally making a good collection only for him to be replaced by nadege next season.
and miu miu sucked. the only shit i liked was The Row/Marc/a tiny bit of LV and Prada.

a couple months ago. he's being replaced from the girl who's not marykateandashely from the row.
rumors are circulating about riccardo leaving too (to Gucci). I believe it, especially after taking this season's shitty greatest hits collection into account + him not making resort. I guess Frida's plan w/marrying the Gucci president flopped lol. I think Fall will be his last collection.

I'm pretty happy with mine from Uniqlo actually, not raw or selvedge or whatever but they fit really nicely
Are they true to size?
Edit:
Should I get this? It's a wool blend and the leather straps are fake, but it's only $99 for a cool looking winter coat.

I like that. I would consider it even. Maybe, link?
Not sure how much I like the hood though.

I'm always surprised to see hoods on somewhat traditional looking coats, if you're over 30 a hood just isn't acceptable.

I sometimes cut the hoods off jackets.
I think they make great hats.
But seriously, lolwut

I'd say Uniqlo is fairly true to size though the inseams only come in either 32 or 34, though luckily hemming is available if you need it.
lol no.
Duffle Coat
They are by far my favorite fall/winter coat. Looking to get the +J one next week from Uniqlo myself. I like having a heavy coat that has a hood, it's handy for those surprise rainstorms.

This question has likely been asked but what are some low end brands preferred by the GAF fashion fans?
I usually stick with stuff I can find at JC Penny or Sears. And in some rare cases I get Express for "nicer" things.

i pre-ordered navy and cigar!
I came in too late for the cigar. Probably better for my wallet that I did.

^ Thought $100 was the actual price of those shoes and it seemed like a fine deal. Oh.
In the 'higher than I can usually afford' range: the sale racks at Club Monaco (although their XS stuff rarely gets that far) and Allsaints are decent. Nordstrom clears out Scotch & Soda, Marc by Marc, T by Alexander Wang, etc with some regularity... Macy's (which is essentially JC Penny for cityfolk at this point) always seems to have a few nice Calvin Klein extra-slim shirts for half off.
In the 'fashion bros say it's trash b/c they wear $3k outfits but it's actually fine for regular dudes' bracket: Topman, Uniqlo (boring as hell, tbh, but nice for basics), Zara (kinda weird most of the time and there's a lot of bad fake leather accents, but gems can be found), Asos (H&M-tier quality, but at least there's a ton of variety).
I've sort of given up on clothing in general lately. Affordable has come to mean mind-numbingly bland, and anything even remotely interesting is probably far too expensive for the average person.

Yeah, same.
Is it not $100?
Lol i debated it at $100, but almost 300? no way.
I really like the rubber bottoms though.
^ yeah, $300 on shell cordovan sneakers isn't really obscene. the concept might be considered obscene though! and while not Horween shell, I am sure the process is just as painstaking to get the material prepared so the cost naturally gets passed along to the customer a bit.
the navy and cigar colors were too good to pass up. this is crazy though. i just pre-ordered those, then pre-ordered two Alden's from Leffot, and on style forum they are getting a group buy on some Viberg makeups that are currently in the voting process.
right there alone is about $3k in shoes i am about to spend!

Lmao. What pattern would they be tho?
Express stuff is low quality. Wouldn't even touch their shoes.

Any thoughts on J Crew, Armani Exchange, or Banana Republic? Is there a perceivable difference in quality from the stuff available in Macy's, Gap, ect...?
Thank you. I actually haven't heard of most of those brands. Time to do research.

I think that Jcrew is above the two other: made in china but with better quality material:
Belong to the retail japanese giant Fast Retailing (Uniqlo, Comptoir des cotonniers, National standard)
Armani Exchange is like Zara-level Armani
Banana Republic belong to GAP and is the upscale version.

No idea about Armani Exchange, but Jcrew and BR will be above in fit and finish than your usual mass department store items in Macy's and JCP.

Got this bomber. It's nice.
Was thinking of getting a floral T to wear underneath it.
Which colour? (if any)
indeed it is
think black goes well with that bomber so will pick up the black floral tomorrow
unless of course you guys sway me
