Why the long case?

I have a couple Asos button ups. They're of pretty decent quality - lasted a long time and they fit as they should.

I probably wouldn't buy their outerwear or higher-priced stuff in general, but the tees, button-ups, casual pants, etc are fine. Holds up better than H&M for the same money, and I do like that there's, like, an entirely new selection of things practically every other week. Downside is that if you pass something up or get a wrong size, you're probably not going to see it again. Ever.

leather pants so i can match with mac
Wish I could afford them as well. Going to try some out soon in the same self-pity way.
It's not good quality for sure, but it's cheap and it'll work/look good for a year if you take care of it. Actually the two jackets I own have been really good for me. Go for it if you think it looks good imo.
Leather jacket. Those Desert Malis I posted last page. Various sweaters and shirts. Need a leather jacket though forreal.
speaking of h&m et al...
Last Week Tonight on Fast Fashion
how do y'all feel about it?
it has made more conscious about what i buy. i feel i make a decent enough living that i can consider more homegrown brands, such as naked & famous, wing + horns, chrome industries; where articles are made in Canada or USA. end up having to be pickier about what i buy though!

Got this suit from RW&CO
ignore the fold on my left bicep. I didn't properly stretch the sleeve out when I took the picture
This is kind of exactly what color I want for my wedding. Do you have a link to it online? Also did you buy online? I always wonder about getting it right buying online. I guess you could then get it tailored locally.
I've never had an issue with them. Got both pairs of my work shoes from there, and some other random stuff. Link to that combo?
I bought mine in the store, my best friends girlfriend works at RW&CO so she was able to get me a pretty significant discount on it. But you can find it online here (and they seem to be having a sale) - http://www.rw-co.com/en/miles-suit-blue-teal/f15-men-suit-miles-blue-teal.html?cgid=men-clothing-suits-miles#start=1
The color of the suit does change depending on lighting. Sometimes it will look more blue-ish other times more grey-ish. The suit itself wasn't trailored for me but it it kind of has that look. I got the size 38. I only got the pants hemmed because they were way to long for me.
The suit looks nice but looking at the particulars of the fabric (64% polyester, 19% viscose, 15% wool, 2% spandex) means that it likely won't stand the test of time beyond a handful of wears.
Also, is that a built-in pocket square? Might limit your options for your tie and other accessories.
It's just the inside of the pocket.

anyone heard of DSTLD? are they any good? they make really cheap raw denim jeans...
https://www.dstldjeans.com/products/cigarette-raw-denim-jeans-in-dip-indigo-timber
edit: people in r/rawdenim were shitting all over the brand, but most of the negative stuff was from a year+ ago and the few recent posts seemed to hint that maybe they've gotten better now? i don't know how to determine the quality of raw denim so i can't tell just by looking at the pictures

isaia, from fw 2012 iirc
I was going to buy some bean boots last year but they were back ordered for months so I never did. I should probably do that now so it doesn't happen again.
I'm not sure if I should go with the classic 8" one or the 10" shearling lined one. I kinda like the look of the darker leather.

I think the reason DSTLD has been a joke in the raw denim world is that they market their brand towards denim enthusiasts but don't even include the details/quality/material that denim enthusiasts look for. For instance, the jeans aren't selvedge, nor are they 100% cotton, the former of which means the quality and construction (probably) isn't up to par with true selvedge denim, and the latter meaning the jeans won't last nearly as long as something with 100% cotton will.
With that said, at $65, if the jeans fit you well then I'd say you're getting your money's worth. At $180 it's a complete ripoff.
If you're looking for cheap selvedge, check out Unbranded. If you want selvedge with stretch fabric in it, Naked & Famous makes a few good options.
Nordstrom is cool. I mean, it's definitely not life-changing, but the close proximity to Seattle will probably mean a much better selection of clothes than most stores.
Better than most other department stores.

DKNY stuff sucks man. That cardigan I got instead of the Harrington looks really cheap and tacky in person as well. It feels like it's ready to fall to bits too, there's nothing to it.
Don't think I'll be buying any more of her stuff!
The G-Star hoody looks mint though, well happy with it.

dkny has a high end line for women that's nice but the mens is pretty bad by comparison.
Just using this as a jumping off point for my mini rant: How fucking useless are size charts on most websites, specifically for suits? Why won't you tell me how wide the fucking shoulders are!? Like, god damn. Obviously, it's good on places like Suit Supply, but shit, I don't have the scratch to be buying their stuff.

Yeah, the Harrington felt like I was wearing a (very tight) crisp packet and I swear I nearly put my thumb through the sleeve trying on the cardigan. At £300 and £120 RRP each respectively I expected far better quality!
Ah well, I'll return the cardigan and just buy yet another pair of trainers, can't get vexed.
One of the reasons I never buy clothes online

Turn me on to some new denim guys. I've been wearing Trues for the last 7 years now, and feeling like something new. Looked at Robins and they are too loud/skinny for me. I wear low-rise boot-cut/flare exclusively, hard to find these days in men's denim.

I feel like a jackass. I'm walking along my usual street, and in the window of a shop I always pass, common projects.

There's a reason boot-cut went out of style, man.
You sure you don't just mean straight leg? With leg openings getting so small nowadays, that's pretty much the modern equivalent.

dude its bad, I didnt even realize my local liquor store carried my favorite fall beer and I was stressin bout it
Article on BoO's demise: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/03/f...-band-of-outsiders-fast-rise-faster-fall.html
the company that made me realize the importance of fit. i went from wearing medium shirts in high school to extra smalls. i had no idea why i thought my body type was medium when i was obviously skinnier than everyone else i knew. farewell band! i should stock up on whatever shirts i can find left available. at least there's still gitman and WvG for my shirting purposes.

speaking of boo this is dope
but i'm really not surprised to see them go; while its cool the company stuck to its guns re: quality, they occupy the a look that can be easily lifted and diluted without much effort. I feel the same will happen to ovadia & sons soon, though they don't have nearly the brand cache or influence.
speaking of this season has some good shit. will probably wait for sale season like usual though. not feeling a hunger yet.

The crazy thing about Band of Outsiders' demise is how sudden it was. I mean, they had literally JUST opened their Tokyo store a few months prior.
I don't think anyone was expecting to see them fall as far as they did.

ASOS is having a sale on jackets and long sleeved stuff. Looking for a good winter coat for dress-up/down. Anyone see anything there?
Also thoughts?

Also might grab this:

Also, while I'm asking, I'm going to grab the new Moto 360 watch. Thoughts on the black/gold? It'd go with pretty much everything right?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorol...lack/4363437.p?id=1219736632091&skuId=4363437
Or do I just go with all black.
