I would guess 10-15k, but I really haven't kept count
Edit:
I did some math and hit 18k, but I'm missing a bunch of stuff and can't remember if I bought my black SLP blazer this year or last year so it could easily be 20k plus. Basically, way too much.
lurker, but $500ish.

Last cop of 2014 was delivered yesterday:
Hm. I was just really getting started with fashion this year and didn't want to make any huge purchases without knowing what I was doing, so I've been collecting basics around the Uniqlo/Dockers/Levis level of pricing. My biggest purchase this year was my Iron Rangers.
Also I'm just a substitute teacher (though I had some long term stints where I got paid more) so I don't have a huge budget for fashion. I'd say I spent somewhere around 750.

Far too much, i think 2.5 k EUR with probably a split of 1.5k in shoes and the rest in clothing

First purchase of 2015! Saint Laurent mesh vest from SS14 (to use as a layering piece). Looks like my second purchase is gonna be a new pair of sunglasses since I think I lost mine during the New Years festivities.
About to go HAM

Those jeans are $99. Its crowd sourced, so you'll have to wait for them to actually be made. But yeah....$99

That's the brand of the pair I lost. Was thinking about going with zegna though- I've always loved their sunglasses.

does zegna make their own?

I'm sure they outsource it like every other designer, but the one time I wandered in to a Zegna boutique and tried a pair I thought they looked fantastic, better then most other designer sunglasses which always look too small on me.

Zegna glasses are made by Marcolin Group according to The Rake
shoes rarely go on sale. you can't get Aldens or Vibergs for anything less than their full retail value. I am a boot whore as of late. Any other piece of clothing I tend to be patient on or care significantly less about. Take this jacket for instance,

i was close to buying it at full retail many months back, but i talked myself out of it. now it is way more attractive and will probably end up in my closet.
Can you still be talked out of it?

What's a good site to find tops with similar designs as this (for women)? Doesn't have to be expensive, I just want a reliable site. Gracias
So after going back and forth for a while, I'm going to order a pair of Alden Indy 405's. I just wanted to get a second opinion on sizing since this will be my first pair of Alden boots. I wear an 8.5 in Clarks DB as well as an 8.5D Chippewa boots. Would I be safe with an 8.5D in the Indy's or should I go with an 8D?

just go with your regular boot size, IMO, unless the brand itself specifically states to go down a bit. I've worn my dad's alden indy's, we're both 9, and they fit fine.

No worries, we don't discriminate here. NinjaBoiX buys and wears dresses all the time.
Not to mention Mac and Bam exchanging tips on correct ways to rock meggings.

if you're not wearing meggings, mesh vests or dresses are you really even a men's fashion enthusiast?
edit: what's the deal with zegna runway anyway? when i was in vegas over the summer, the boutique in fuckin crystals didn't have any of pilati's shit. the fuck is the point of hiring the dude if you only drop his shit in like 10 stores. motherfuckers.
tried on the margiela/mykita frames a bit ago ... p cool but i dunno why they're 500 bones or whatever.

I want to buy an SLP suit. Problem is it won't fit.
Are you an 8.5 in sneakers and find those two boots to be true to size? With Alden, and I believe the Trubalance last, which the Indys you're looking at most certainly will be on, you should size down a half if you have a normal width foot
i love em, they feel high quality. i only have their chambrays, and i get rave reviews, look and feel better than some shirts i've paid more for
downside is you wait 3 months for your clothes after you order them
I'm an 8.5 in Vans and a 9 in Onitsuka Tigers ( only sneakers I wear). The chippewa in 8.5D are perfect width and length, they do get a little tight if I wear a thicker boot sock though. DB's are also perfect in 8.5. So are you saying I should size down to an 8D in the Indy's? Sizing these boots are becoming a headache lol, I had another guy say he wears the same size in DB and Indy's. So now I'm not sure if I should go 8.5D or 8D.

Any recommendations for leather jackets?
Not looking to spend a crazy amount.
£350 tops.

If you can, go to a shoe store and measure your foot on the brannock size devices. If you're an 8.5 there, you will be an 8 in Indys
Got it, thanks for your help.

if it makes you feel better, sizing angst is a normal part of men's fashion.
Normally I wouldn't care as much, but this will be the first $500+ pair of shoes I've purchased. Also these seem all over the place size wise from what I've been looking at. Would be so much easier if there was a store in my area that has these to try on. Worse case scenario I can just exchange them since I'm going to get them from J.Crew and they are really good with that kind of stuff.
nephew, wear only in good health

if it makes you feel better, its 2015, and anyone selling alden indy's at this point will be totally familiar and accommodating of your sizing angst. it's practically expected, like weird questions about chromexel and welts.
