So I'm a minimalist here. I want a wallet that is thin enough to fit in my front pocket and hold a few cards and a bit of cash if need be. What's a good one? This one?

I have something very similiar to that

These type of wallets take getting use to but once u do u dont wanna go back to conventional ones

I can't get away with scoop necks either, it looks like your wearing your bird's t-shirt.

Crew neck all the way, and not too loose either.

I'm not a bird ninja.

I need to grab a button up that isn't too bland, but not some over the top print chit.

Edit:
Not sure whether to go tight or skinny on the unbranded jeans.

 

[BumRush]

Looking for a work bag like this, but wanted other suggestions:

Any thoughts?

Wait a minute, 88 dollar selvedge denim? 34 length (which means no hemming for me). Shiiiiit, what's the quality like on these? If I want something like the Levi's 511/Jcrew 484 chino fit - should I go for tapered or skinny?

Edit: Wait just realized they were raw - ugh. Any recommendations for selvedge-lined but not raw jeans?

Tanner Goods also makes a really good option, if you want leather.

The Skinny is a slim-straight, the Tight is a slim-tapered. Basically, do you want any taper in your jeans? Do you want tight leg opening? If you said yes to either of these, get the Tight fit. If anything, it might even give you a little bit more room in the thighs.

 

[overcast]

I think I'll end up going tight. Check them out, if they don't work I can always return them.

i don't even like valentino, but damn would i be lying if i said i didn't want one of those satin bombers.

 

[Psychoward]

I was looking at swim shorts and I came across these at Bonobos and thought how funny it would be if I got the matching shirt if I wore them.

Answer; pretty funny

What brands should I be looking at for leather shoes? Have these paul smiths at the moment that I really liked but the colour has already scuffed off the toe a bit and the sole is peeling. Willing to spend a bit

Never buy designer for shoes. You are just paying for a brand name. Best to buy quality shoes. Look at Crockett and Jones. For me they are pound for pound the best money can buy. I like their designs, which not might not be to everyone's taste, plus the craftsmanship is excellent and you can get repairs done by them. If you take care of these shoes then they will last you decades. I own three pairs and will be hopefully getting a fourth pair soon.

I am leaning towards the second pair of oxfords, although the first are part of the superior Hand Grade line

 

[f0rk]

Cool I was looking at them as there were in some department stores but wasn't sure if they were actually worth the premium.

yes they are. apart from my dream of owning a fully bespoke shoe, a pair of G&Gs, and the Corthay Arca Derby, that you can see in the first link, I don't see myself ever buying another brand of shoe.

here are too great articles about mens shoes.

http://parisiangentleman.co.uk/2014/05/06/pgs-recommendations-the-2014-ready-to-wear-mens-shoes-review/

This basically talks about good shoe houses, 36 in total, for various budgets, including C&J.

http://parisiangentleman.co.uk/academy/4-things-to-look-for-in-a-good-pair-of-mens-shoes/

This talks about what to look for when deciding to buy a leather shoe.

If you are willing to spend a bit of money then take your time and look around at various brands and try on as many as you can. great leather shoes are one of the best investments any man can have and should not be rushed

These?

or These? (I already have these in Black. Which is why I'm leaning towards the first pair)

was having ff7 remake, tlg and shenmue 3 really worth it?

Spoiler

sorry, it still is

Always worth it.

bottom pair, if you're going funky, go full bore.



and yeah if youre buying conventionally styled shoes, stick with traditional co's vs designers.

Ended up going with the top pair since I already have the bottom in black.

Hi FashionGAF, what's your go to store for basics? I'm visiting Seattle in late August and I want to add a couple pieces to my wardrobe before I leave. I'm open to buying stuff (on a college budget) when I arrive as well.

For the most part, I stick to darker colors and greys. Most of my shirts are button downs with some graphic tees thrown in if I'm feeling casual. Add a pair of navy Converse and you basically have 80% of my outfits.

And are juniors allowed to link? There's some neat stuff at UNIQLO I'd like some opinions on.

 

[thezerofire]

Uniqlo makes really solid stuff, I own a ton from there

We don't really have a particularly interesting array of mens clothing stores in Seattle, so I don't think you'll be missing too much if you opt to buy before coming here.

 

[Wulfric]

^
Oh, that's a shame. And were you the one giving me recommendations in LGBT OT? I feel like I've seen your avatar before.

Well, Uniqlo it is then. They just put up some Ghost in the Shell tees. I think I'll throw in an oxford shirt and see how that goes.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Ah yeah, I think I did

There's the typical stuff here: Macy's, Nordstrom and Nordie Rack, Barney's, Brooks Brothers, H&M, Urban, American Apparel, Allsaints, Zara... A few higher end boutiques (outside the downtown shopping area) round out the choices. How worthwhile they all seem may depend on the type of town or city you're coming from; it all felt pretty same-y to me after a short while.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Outside of maybe totokaelo (which is NOT budget minded) we don't have anything you won't find elsewhere. None of the low-cost stores sre particularly directional

This KVA suit is pretty incredible.

 

[freenudemacusers]

what's this krisvanassche brand. i've never heard of it. didn't see it at fashion week.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Consider it your final chance to own a part of history.

 

[freenudemacusers]

that reminds me, my local nordstrom rack had a BOO pajama shirt for $70.

i was kinda tempted but then i realized i would never wear it.

 

[thezerofire]

my local nordstrom rack never has anything good

 

[Cosmic Bus]

 

[freenudemacusers]

tbh i'm feelin pleats atm

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Had my eye on this for a while, finally snagged it in a sale:

Luke "Backdraught" - £125 £60

Yeah Nordstrom Rack sucks IMO

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I hate the summer cause I like to wear jackets and I can't.

Levi's Commuter jacket feels so good.

 

[Chance Hale]

Yeah, I miss Alaska for that reason. Could always wear a jacket or at least long sleeves. Such a thing is suicide in Texas.

 

[freenudemacusers]

got myself a polo

dadcore in full swing. no going back.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Seemed like quite a deal. If it had been available in my size, I probably would've indulged for use next year.

Hey man, polos are cool, I have a bunch. Very versatile.

A well fitted long sleeve polo with some nice jeans looks mint.

 

[killertofu]

Hot damn that's a sexy suit.

Time to save up

 

[freenudemacusers]

I hope you all realize that's just the jacket, the pants are separate

also burberry london makes a nice summer wool/mohair that looks somewhat similar.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I am not sure what people are seeing in that suit. looks boring as fuck.

pleats are great. I have never understood the hate for pleats. the pants on the right look like they could be decent, but they are being worn too low on the mode, and of course always look better with a full suit

 

[freenudemacusers]

the angled quarters are kinda cool but ime there isn't much noteworthy about how kva cuts suiting for his own label.

 

[Illithid Dude]

Yeah, I guess the blazer is nice, but there's nothing noteworthy about it besides the price.

 

[overcast]

I bought a few things from Uniqlo including a denim button up. Might post a fit when it comes in.

How have people's experiences been with Gustin? I really like the look of the Japan Silk Slub, but with UK delivery, it's about $180. Does that seem reasonable to anyone who's used Gustin?
