Doc Martens' Curtis:


unless, of course, your budget is much higher, in which case I'm sure Bam Bam can recommend boots that cost as much as a car.

I think Doc Martens' are too chunky unless you have small feet. Size 10 is pushing it.

I'm a size 13 (US) and recently got a pair of black leather boots, had to make sure I picked a style that wasn't too bulky or they'd look like clown shoes. Loving the ones I've got although I have no idea what brand etc they were (got them in a retail store).


I'm needing some advice on improving my jacket game for next winter. I have a black peacoat, a crappy light grey cotton hoodie, a very casual/boring cotton varsity jacket, a nice navy windbreaker from asos that I recently got and a somewhat poorly fitting tan cotton hooded jacket.

Was thinking of getting something that was a mix of formal/casual that I could wear out. I don't need it to be super formal (I barely use my peacoat as it is as that is too formal most of the time as a student, especially being black. It looks great on me though since it's tailored). I was thinking possibly leather. I ordered a nice navy quilted jacket from Asos when it was on sale and it seemed like a nice middle ground between formal/casual but I had to return it because it fit poorly. Not completely sure if I should just order a similar one again or get something else.

edit: Maybe I could get a navy blazer or something but it would definitely need to be in a more casual fabric. Not sure how good a 100-200$ navy blazer would look though, as being 6'3 I can run into a bit of trouble if something needs to be both long and slim fitting.

Yeah, these are like 400. Not happening. I do want some Chelsea's though.

 

[thezerofire]

Speaking of Common Projects, has anyone experienced theirs developing a creak when they walk? they make a bunch of noise now and I'm not sure what to do about it

 

[Alucrid]

Just some hot leather on leather action. It'll go away eventually

I'm looking for black leather boots but with the buckle thats at the bottom and no boots that look are that long.

I've had them for a couple months now, wearing basically every day but the creak has just gotten louder. I figured it would take some time but didn't know how long

Cheapest one I could find

I suppose you could take a risk on topman or asos but I would worry about them falling apart.

 

[Deleted member 102481]

yes engineer black leather boots

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Can anyone help me find some black boots that look cool with skinny jeans and a leather jacket. Size 10

Have had my Allen Edmonds Rothsay boots for a little over a year, I think. After a good cleaning, they still look new. Very versatile boot, especially with the Vibram sole.

100-175 or so. I'm size 12.

I broke that mirror a while ago sadly, rip

Re: ninja - common projects

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Cheers guys, I do like the simple styling of common projects stuff, it's no nonsense.

I'm getting a lot of red stuff for Christmas, I'm getting a red coat from my parents and a red watch from my girlfriend for a start.

Looking forward to seeing the community's gifts after Christmas, be sure to post pics guys!

Ooh. I like those, though I have a feeling I couldn't afford them. I haven't been able to find them online to check, unfortunately. :|

Edit: Wait, no longer available. Drat.

I want the buckle at the bottom but I want normal black leather boots. Not those long girl looking boots but I want the buckle

 

[overcast]

I'm probably not getting anything for Christmas unless I get some money from family (doubtful). Should have hooked up with Mac or Alucrid on Secret Santa. Could have got some CP's for a 50 dollar H&M gift card.

 

[ekimneems]

Finally pulled the trigger on an Inverallan 1A in Navy. Hoping it's not too big. I really wish there were legit US stockists so I could either try it on or make it easier to return, etc. But screw it, this thing is just too nice to not cop.

 

[MoodyFog]

Looks noooyce

 

[Bob Dobalina]

hello, do I need to be careful picking a soap to use hand-washing wool clothing? I think this beanie is made from baby alpaca wool.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I use a lingerie soap I got off amazon, name escapes me but the bottle has an old timey design. Otherwise just use regular detergent but very little and you should be ok. Dry it on a towel in open air.

Pls disregard grimly shopping sweat.

 

[Technosteve]

why are you in kmart?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Looking for a specific baby item I cannot find elsewhere

And it's jcpenney

I for one like the daily mac selfies. It keeps things fresh.

Is acne the reason you shopped your face?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Been shopping today, stuff that I got:

Also, in the interests of full disclosure, dress I bought for the missus:

 

[freenudemacusers]

dresses are in bro, you can share now


dope sweater

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Cheers mac, the cardigan isn't my usual style but the lady is a fan so I thought I'd give it a shot. I got some bargains, that haul clocked in at just over £100. Yay for sales!

I'd have modelled the dress for you but I don't think I'd squeeze into it! She's only an 8 (4 US), I wouldn't want to rip it.

 

[giga]

Wear the god damn dress.

 

[MoodyFog]

Wear the dress like young thug

 

[NinjaBoiX]

I might post a pic of her in it on Christmas day. Maybe I'll wear the cardigan and trainers too, make it a triple.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Should have just worn the dress.
