Those look pretty good for the price (after 40% off), but I'm trying to wonder what BR was thinking with this rubber sole.
Yeah the soles aren't great, but I'm willing to overlook them for the price. Hopefully they don't end up being a huge issue.

fwiw I have a bellroy wallet, the one where the cards are vertical and I love it.
Alden on the Barrie and Plaza lasts have very sleek toe boxes, but you're still in the north $500 range on those too.
You can try looking at Thursday Boot Company, they're aping Alden/Viberg hard with their designs in a sub $300 range. They use Horween CXL, goodyear welts, etc.
You know what's fucked up? Amazon owns Zappos and yet you can typically find CDBs for $40-$50 cheaper on Amazon.
BR has 40% codes pretty much every week. Never pay sticker price at BR/GAP/ON.
BESTCYBER is 40% off of anything they sell, valid through the rest of today.

What the fuck! I just received my Clarks desert boots, try them on, and one of the she laces rip!
Do they sell she laces for chukkas with two eyelids!? I'd rather not ship them back to wait for a new one.

Clark's will mail you replacement laces for free.
Just go to their website and look up their customer support email.

Oh, that's awesome! Thanks!
Absolutely for the suit with no belt. I love that look for a casual, fun suit night.
As for the black over blue, that depends more on the colors and the contrast between the two. If the blue is nice and bright, separating it greatly from the black then it's fine. It'll look terrible otherwise.

Combos:
1. Black shoes, black pants, navy blazer
2. Brown shoes, navy pants, dark gray blazer
3. Black shoes, wine pants, navy/dark grey blazer (✨holiday✨
Wear a white shirt underneath. Also, please god don't trim your beard like that dude.
Budget? You need to also invest in wool socks.
Thanks for the tips giga !

I don't think it's an awful outfit, but it is sloppy, the way he put it together. Aside from the bottom button, his tie looks shoddily...tied...and the knot doesn't work for that shirt. Shoes are ugly, at least for this outfit. Pants have an unflattering cut. Cuffs could be a bit shorter.

Yeah, I can understand what people are saying about the composition of the outfit but I would say everything at least fits him well. His smarmy face and nerd beard don't help him at all though.

Whoever suggested a large in the men's j crew cardigan from the factory outlet was right. A medium would've been too right.
Whoever!? What a thankless job. 😪

Hey I'm tired and I feel like the floor of a taxi cab.
Now I'm waiting for my chino pants. That, the cardigan, and my chukkas, the James Bond set will be complete. Gonna walk with swag at nights.
Actually, I need to get the haircut now. I don't have a widows peak hairline like Craig, since it's round, but we'll see.
You are wise, giga!

What if you end up looking like a tool who imitates Bond?

Well, nobody won't notice the comparison. They'll be like, "there's another guy who dresses nice."
I've liked dressing up nice ever since my late 20s. I'm not a kid anymore. Even my friends think I over dress on certain occasions.
The only article of clothing I saw bond wearing that I really wanted was the chukkas. Never owned a pair, and I needed a new pair of nice shoes.

Roll, just below the elbow. Not too neat or it looks lame.
Nah, I never got the single cuff turn, looks like you forgot to turn them back down after washing your hands or something.
Note: bonus with rolling is less sleeve to iron. Win.

Just ordered my first item from Adam Levine clothing! Hope the sweater is good quality. yeeee
Thanks. Yeah, not really looking to break the bank (yet) while I'm living in Seattle, the winters are pretty mild here.

Simple, clean, classic.
(Don't get Air Force 1's, they're hideous. They look like kiddy shoes.)
I'm a big fan of the roshe runs in all white. Get a ton of compliments on them.

This might be a weird thing to ask, but I'm not the best judge of fashion. I don't know where to look, or what exactly to look for. I am probably going to get laughed at for this as well, but I still want to give it a try.
I am looking for a jacket similar to one from a video game, as similar as possible. If not, then at least maybe someone can help me with some keywords to search.
Don't laugh...
Looking for men's. I need this jacket. Preferably designed more like the female variant. Anything similar, or even brands/styles that are similar would be of great help.

don't listen to this mark, AF1 are a classic.
all white sneaker? Adidas Ultra Boost - white
Cosmic Bus
pristine morning snow
Blazer Lux Premium. Air Force 1s look like orthopedic shoes when they're all white.
"Tan collarless jacket" brings some kind of similar results on GIS.

mainline marc jacobs is some seriously lux shit. just bought a turtleneck from them that might be the softest cashmere i've ever felt.
Jumping into the sneaker discussion to say AF1
I have both Stan Smiths and a pair of low top AF1s in my rotation right now and the AF1s get worn on the weekly whereas I haven't worn my Stans in months. I have the Bedwin and the Heartbreakers Stans and they creased in a bad way and I usually don't care about creasing
