The only Ed Hardy stuff I see worn in LA is on old party chicks and Ecuadorian immigrates.

Dunno, but i just bought a couple of slim fit shirts from the GAP, size XS, and they fit so amazingly untucked. Exactly just an inch or 2 below belt line.
I gave them a shot because of some good sales, and it worked great as more casual look than my banana republic dress shirts.

Oh... That doesn't... look good.
I feel like if my shirt was at that height, it would ride up my stomach every time I stretch.

Oh damn, those look good. Very good. Within my price range, too. Now I just need to find a store that carries them.
Thanks for the help!
I know people can definitely rock that look...
... but I'm pretty sure I'm not one of them lol

yo what's up with that bieber pic; dudes proportions are all skewed.
anyway, no, you don't need to spend $$$$$$$$ to get a good leather, but you will definitely want to spend more than $. it will also depend on what you want; something traditional/classic, fashion-forward, luxury, etc.
for instance something like this
http://www.selfedge.com/jackets-vests?product_id=1413
isn't fashion-forward but at the same time it is contemporary in fit, and you can probably be buried in it come the year 2100. but it is also $2000. you can probably find a middle ground somewhere.

Man selfedge is a great site, with a good selection but I can't stand how they use the same guy to model all their clothes. Not trying to hate on him, but stuff doesn't look flattering and I don't like the way they style the pieces. There's a reason every other fashion company uses professional models.
Check out Schott: https://www.schottnyc.com/store/men/jackets/leatherI don't know about a cape... but it's starting to get chilly as fuck outside. I think I'm in the market for a nice, leather jacket.
I'm not sure I know how the branding works with these things, though. I've been told not to waste money on a fake leather jacket, which I can only assume are the $150 Guess "leather" jackets I see at my local mall. They look okay but fit poorly from my experience. they also feel hella cheap, as to be expected.
On the other side of the spectrum, I walk into Harry Rosen and see $2000 leather jackets. I'm assuming those are real?
Do I need to spend $2k on a leather jacket? Is there a cheaper way? What are some good brands/stores I should be checking out? I'm in Toronto, Canada btw.
This is the look I'm going for:
Less interested in the "motorcycle" leather jacket look. Pretty sure I'd look like a goof wearing one of these:
any help would be appreciated
You can order online but I recommend finding a local retailer like an army surplus store: https://www.schottnyc.com/stores.cfm
Are those pants for the bow legged?

I haven't checked recently, but if nothing has changed, you'll not find a store that carries them. They only sell through their website and Amazon.com (and last time I checked, you can't find all their models there).
But they offer international shipping, so I don't see the problem, except if you don't own a credit card.
Whoa. Where?
Hmm. Interesting.
Speaking of leather jackets. Found that Bellstaf jacket I wanted a while back. It's 1500 more than I wanted to spend �� thank to the shitty Canadian dollar right now. Ugh.

is it even worth trying to get my money back from TOJ at this point?
I was just gonna say I don't know how someone could shit on that Bieber pic and then follow up with a pic of Peter Stormare gone hipster.
I like trying things on before buying them, especially something that nice/expensive.
I know I can send it back if it doesn't fit but that's a pain in the ass >_<

Ah, I see. I was reluctant too just prior to buy the first one, but these guys begin to make the jacket once you pay for it (it takes 2 weeks aprox.) and before that, a Soul Revolver's employee will contact you by email to ask for your measurements just to be sure you chose the correct size.
Anyways, good luck finding a leather jacket that satisfies you. There is nothing better than that, specially considering how awesome it looks as it ages

Posting again--plas halp.
I need help from Canada GAF: there are some work shirts I like but the store only ships to Canada. If I give you money to cover the shipping costs, plus some extra for your efforts, can you ship them to me?
PM me plz. Need some work shirts for the fall/winter. Thanks

Looks pretty fine (considering you're a horse... and detective).
Looks good to me. Urban?
Shouldn't be a problem if you can afford it and it fits well. Banana is solid.

Guys I need your input, I saw this new pair of Warby Parker sunglasses and I really liked them, do you think they would look fine in a guy?
Great frames! I have never heard of this site. Thanks!
