The sole on #2 is why I'd wear them. Too fussy and formal otherwise.

 

[BumRush]

It's Cole Haan, so buy on sale rather than the $245 MSRP.

As for the shoe's aesthetics, I'm not such a fan of wingtips on a blucher shoe. The wingtips look ridiculously long along with a funky-looking toebox too. If you're not iffy on buying used/off of eBay, you can grab some well-cared for Allen Edmonds McAllisters or Strands for around the same price.

Thanks...catpee

These instead?

 

[Oxn]

Option 2 would be the best if the sole wasn't ugly as fuck.

I know

If it wasnt for that fact i wouldnt even need to ask earlier

That is one fugly sole

 

[MistakenMobius]

Interesting. Cheers for the info, I'll have to give Loding a look! Do they fit true to size in your experience?

I think so, most of my shoes are 43 and the loding are no exception.

[freenudemacusers]

imo i'd go full brogue boot. i agree that the cole haan looks a bit ... stretched?

I know

If it wasnt for that fact i wouldnt even need to ask earlier

That is one fugly sole

if you think the sole is ugly why even consider!!

 

[ohkay]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a nice wool coat for around $300?

No details on the construction, not good to assess if the sturdiness is in line with the look.
Lot of stitching, might indicate lower quality leather compared to one cut shoes

 

[CatPee]

I think I'm developing an addiction to chunky cardigans. Lusting after this one real badly.

Thanks...catpee

I like the aesthetics and color of these better. Are you planning on using them for smart-casual outfits or are you intending on wearing them as dress shoes? The latter might be a tiny bit iffy if the worn-in look of the leather in that image is present in the actual boots too, which makes it much more suitable to a nice pair of dark denim than dress trousers.

 

[Taco_Human]

Impulse cop...

I'd buy those. They look cool.

 

[overcast]

I wouldn't, but I don't like my pants being too busy.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I need a navy blue cardigan with a hood.

 

[Chance Hale]

Replacement CProjects finally came in, very nice and I'm looking forward to actually having time to wear them this weekend(work holiday, huzzah)

Shoe box these ones came in is torn on one side though which is a bit of a bummer given the price.

Edit: Wonder if they fucked up again and sent the wrong size. Somewhat difficult to get my feet in and it hurts my right one pretty bad. I tried the last pair on before I returned them and they were fine *sigh*

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

So, I've maybe settled on some boots. How are Rockport shoes? Never owned them. Thinking about picking up one of these:

http://www.shoeme.ca/products/rockport-men-city-smart-chelsea-boot-black-leather

http://www.shoeme.ca/products/rockport-men-city-smart-chelsea-boot-tan-leather

I'm leaning towards the Black one. This site gives a 30% off thing every other week, so I could get them for $140. Thoughts? Too much stitching on the front?

Though I prefer this one:

Cole Haan Lennox Hill? $150, but US only. Can't find any Canadian deals

 

[CatPee]

Bought yet another SNS Herning Stark for myself off Mr Porter, this time in Black Lake Mix. I don't think I can get enough of these, living in Minnesota.

Speaking of which, Mr Porter's Black Friday sale is up. Lots of goodies at 30% off, including those lovely Starks.

 

[thezerofire]

that last boot is best imo

Excellent!

Thank you for the link too.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Anybody get something from the mrporter or ssense sales?

 

[Auron_Kale]

I dig this S.N.S. Herning fisherman's sweater... May cop as I like the colors a lot.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If anyone wants some chelsea boots. The corner has a sexy pair from common projects for about 350ish after code: cyber2014

 

[freenudemacusers]

as much as i like cp they need to drop the stamp on oxford shoes and etc. looks goofy.

 

[Chance Hale]

Suppose it is a bit silly looking but with shoes no one is going to be staring at the back of your foot long enough to notice it I suppose. Have been wanting some Chelsea boots so it's tempting, will see how I feel tomorrow.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Just buff it off.

 

[Chance Hale]

Thinking I'll grab some Acne Studios jeans, been wanting to try them for a while and they were recommended to me earlier in the year.

Have never tried them on though, do they generally run true to size and slim is actually slim?

 

[freenudemacusers]

I you mean acne max... We'll if you've ever done squats or calf raises go up a size and try. Dunno about their others.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If the cp stamp is too much for you then there's these clarks available on amazon with 25% off code.

ssense had the SLP chelsea boots for about 600 but as you can imagine they sold out immediately.

 

[Chance Hale]

I you mean acne max... We'll if you've ever done squats or calf raises go up a size and try. Dunno about their others.

The max's don't seem to be on sale at Mr. Porter but these ones seem really tight. Those are pre-faded though so I doubt I'll go for them. Wish more companies used APC's simple fits. Although no one is as bad as nudies having 20 different types, although options are nice I suppose.

Why is the heel tag yellow?

 

[Madrin]

I have a basic fashion question that I need some input on: what colors are good for dress shirts that aren't part of a suit? When I wear a white shirt with black pants, people joke that I look like a waiter. When I wear a dark red shirt with khaki pants, apparently I look like a cheap car salesman. Black shirt with khaki pants.... nope, people say it looks like an IT support technician.

So uh... what the hell kind of dress shirt can you wear that actually looks good? Should I be looking at patterns instead of solids?

 

[freenudemacusers]

yeah go patterns instead of solids; tattersal, checks, stripes, etc.

 

[Chance Hale]

Any good deals on the Levi/Gitman Vintage button ups?

Edit: By the way, that corner coupon doesn't work on Common Projects shoes sadly

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Why is the heel tag yellow?

Does it matter?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

These look really cheapo. I'm sure they're incredible quality, they just look like proper budget shoes.

And I agree with mac, the gold lettering they insist on stamping on the heel is massively tacky and just adds to the cheap and nasty look.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I need to stop coming in here. I want to order chelsea books now.

 

[Chance Hale]

Does it matter?

Not really, as with the gold stamp when will it be seen! Just seems a bit contrasting, although the Clarks look a bit like plastic in general.

They're probably not as cheap as your opinion on the matter.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

They're probably not as cheap as your opinion on the matter.

Or as tacky as your gaudy, try hard, laughably overpriced fashion sense.

Oi

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Would you perhaps do me the favor of describing what it is that you think I wear? I'm worried you're chasing ghosts.

 

[Chance Hale]

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Oi

I actually like a lot of their stuff, I just don't like that gold lettering on the heel.

Would you perhaps do me the favor of describing what it is that you think I wear? I'm worried you're chasing ghosts.

I can only go by the stock images you post in here and your frequent "should I buy this" threads because you refuse to post pics of you actually wearing any of this hilarious tat.

I often think you're joking truth be told.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

bam bam spotted in the wild.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I want that dude's shirt.

 

[overcast]

Yeah. Chelsea boots are suddenly tempting, fuck yall.

Black and khaki are two of my most hated trouser colors. Get some navy and charcoal pants instead. Keep the white shirt, but toss the red and black ones. Then get a sky blue, lavender, and pink shirt. Throw in some gingham here and there, and baby you've got a stew going.

Stay in the lookout in that price ranged for terribly cheap, corrected grain leather that will fall apart quickly. True full grain leather can last for years because you take care of it with cream, Polish and wax. Once corrected grain leather starts cracking or peeling, you're fucked.

The rock ports have full grain leather but aren't goodyear welted so the soles will eventually wear out.

Now this jacket is 50% off.

I can get it for $162 CAD. I'm just unsure what size to buy. L or XL? I'm on a weight loss plan, and I wanna lose fifty pounds by April, but I'm entirely unsure how this will fit now and how it'll fit six months from now.

You're gonna lose fifty pounds by april and you're worried about clothes?!

You don't construct a building before knowing how much land you have. Why would you buy clothes before you even know what kind of body you have.

 

[TheKaeptain]

If you're losing weight don't buy clothes.
