Ordered sunday night, package got here wednesday morning that's a record for TBS. I love the sweater, the overlong length is especially nice. I would highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for something basic but with a slight twist.
thanks for the help guys!
I was looking on ebay for the Y-3's, and there's no guarantee they are real, besides i also want the black on white sole. But then I realize that the fake's look just as real - so i went on instagram and found thru an asian seller slanging them for $200 shipped to LA. I'm about to pull the trigger soon. Suspect or naw? I'm cool with the fakes.

Fakes are lame.
It seems I'm way out of touch when it comes to men's fashion! I'm still stuck with American Eagle stuff. I like how the jeans and khakis fit, and I like button up collar shirts. That's typically what I wear. Though I did buy a cardigan from them that's coming in the mail soon for winter and the cooler fall days.
A lot of you have great taste, btw!

I go back and forth on fakes. Like, why would I still pay that much for a knockoff? But at the same time, it'd be impossible to justify more than double for the real thing and no one's going to know the difference but me, so...

Asos doesn't restock much; they're more likely to just post up some new/similar items. That's one site where you better grab something you like if it's available, 'cause it might not be seen again.

I'm sorry. The dream is over.
not really a dream. if i miss it, i miss it. some of the shirts and a suit seemed worth the experiment purchase.
the suit is pretty nice for the price

I don't know why I'm buying this white +j shirt when I got a jil sander white shirt already but whatever.
Oh sweet I'm 10 cents short of free shipping.

That project is much more interesting because the boots are attractive Alden rip-offs with a Dainite sole, something I've been frustrated that none of the traditional American boot companies have done well (Allen Edmonds has started using some Dainitie soles but in an ugly bright red color and Oak St Bootmakers has used them but they cost almost as much as Alden.)
oh man, that whole dayton service boot thing was a disaster

I thought you lived where I lived wtf do you need a duffle coat for?
Looks cool :] Yeah, in general I'm looking for a smaller jacket lately. I would wear a coat for like 2 days out of a year.

how so? I don't know anything about it
here's the thread about it
http://www.styleforum.net/t/158840/whats-the-appeal-of-the-wings-horns-x-dayton-service-boots
basically no communication, most boots were defective in some way (so were the replacements), orders were way late, etc. if you can find a pair of the original collab boots they'd probably be ok, not sure if i would trust anything from them after this. prices would probably be higher too

Gonna poke the collection once I get work at 5... I think I'll hold off on the duffle for now though I have a $10 off coupon I need to redeem online. So if they have it, I'll probably just try it on and then order online.
May try for some shirts or something.
Edit: 2 shirts & a v-neck sweater for me. Duffle isn't as impressive as I thought it'd be.
Now I need some collar stays...
I personally wear them, but it has to be the right one in my opinion. not to loud, etc.
That one seems like it would be better on someone else than him though.
Yo. Can anyone point me to a site where I can buy good prescription glasses? I'm looking for some circle glasses but I'm open for ideas. I like some of those Mykita x MMM sunglasses but I don't know if you can get the lenses changed.
If I can't find anything I'll probably just end up updating the lenses on my boring ass clubmasters.

My 5 year old APCs have developed a nasty hole. I've had probably two repairs already (in the crotch). (The one on the left is a repair, one on the right is a new gigantic hole)
Think I can repair them? I was thinking of using denimtherapy, has anyone tried them?

I sometimes wear them if it's cold out. Most of my female friends seem to like the look, I often get positive comments, my male friends don't comment one way or the other. Here are the ones I wear most regularly:
Just last night after work (I was wearing the burgundy one in the middle) two of the barmaids said "we were just talking about how adorable you look in your hat, it's very cute".
Of course "cute/adorable" may not be quite the look you are going for! My GF usually just gives me a vaguely disparaging glance before giving a noncommittal, half-hearted "nice hat" or something similar. I don't think she's a fan.
But screw you woman, I don't have any hair.
Edit:also, while I'm here, two new pick ups today:

I'm pretty sure y'all know this already but Urban Outfitters has a 50% off sale on the already sale items... was able to pick these two up for really damn cheap.
Hawkings McGill Suede Chukkas for $35:
What shade of trousers do y'all recommend for the chukkas? Basically anything lighter or darker than the shoe right?

Yup, Prorsum. Described as wool/cashmere, but the trousers are flannel. I'll keep an eye on them and probably grab them in the sale in approx 6/7 weeks.

It's a campaign against counterfeit cured meats. Apparently it costs Italians millions of monies each year.

ninjaboi logic. dip dyes are too much but a shirt about pepperoni is totally cool.

It's just a daft t-shirt dude, it was half price, a nice fit and I found it mildly amusing. You can afford to be a bit impulsive when you spend the cost of a few pints on a garment.
It's quite liberating, you should try it.
Fashion: serious business.

Put a nice pair of black jeans, brown belt and brown shoes and you are good to go I suppose.
