Looking for some input on a briefcase.
For a long while, I've had a Filson messenger bag I use for work - it's great. Holds up like a champ and carries a bunch of stuff. But in the last year, my job has moved up a bit in "prestige"(sounds so douchey - don't mean it that way), and now I'm pretty much exclusively speaking with C-level folks in hospitals - CEOs, CFOs, etc. And, well, the bag I'm using is just way out of place and contrasts a good bit with my M2M suits, nice watches, welted shoes, etc.
Thing is, for the last six months, I've been eyeballing every major maker in the space: Lotuff, Frank Clegg, Filson, Barbour, Swaine Adeney, J.W Hulme, Ghurka, Coach, Hermes, etc, etc - and every store - Brooks Brothers, local shops, J.Crew, Mr. Porter, etc, etc.
Thing is, there's been nothing I've fallen in love with - and I just can't will myself to spend $1,000 (or a lot more) on a bag. At least, not right now. Too many other wants on the list.
Anyway, fast forward and I saw someone wearing a new Tumi backpack at a conference the other day, and I loved it. I immediately hopped online and saw it's part of a set:
I really love the looks of this. It would match all my suits (navy, gray, black). It seems like it would be fine year round. I like that it's small and structured (stand on its own).
But I have concerns about quality. I feel like Tumi is nothing more than a "fashion" brand, and in two years the bag will look like shit. Comments? Thoughts?
Don't get tumi, very expensive and not great quality
Start looking now at capes and stilettos lookbooks and inspo albums

I learned about Steven Alan last week. There is one close to where I live. I really like the style that is curated. Is there a general phrase that can be used to describe it?

I've been thinking about buying a Coach briefcase... but I would only use it on business trips, which we have a been week long meeting once a year. Can't really justify it, but I still want one just to have it I suppose. Anyway get set up on the Coach Outlet website, they usually have some crazy deals where you can score one for under $200 (when they have the 70% off sales).

Not Converse. I have wide feet and Vans fit me nicely in my regular shoe size.
I have wide feet and Chuck Taylors are the bane of my existence.
Check out anything Adidas with boost at the moment. I have three pairs of Adidas NMDs and they are the comfiest motherfuckers while stylish as fuck. Really good for wide feet.
Mrporter sale is on https://www.mrporter.com/Sale?cm_sp=homepage-_-sale-_-26-12-16
As usual, the Common Projects went fast, but managed to grab these before going back to browse the rest.

Has Anyone bought Outlier WTF Top or Bottom Packs? Which of the two are better value?
Bottom. Less experiments, less risk.

I got the Freecotton Scrub Shirt and the Vanishing point shirt.
Main reason why I got tops because the previous times the top packs sold out quicker compared to the bottoms, so I thought Tops were better valued.
Ha I got that freecotton before too. After that I was done with top packs.
Yeah I really can't wait (though I'll have to, none in my size and prise range up atm)

Yeah they come down in price nicely used. Sizing can be tricky though for sure.

nike sb blazer low gt, ivory/gum colors
pretty classy in my opinion

Looks so much like this pair i got from dsw. Its wide as hell though. Ill make it my summer sneaker.
Nice. I have hi-tops and was considering the low-tops because it looks like the Killshots.

i'm not much of a hi-top guy myself so the low tops were the obvious choice for me. I was looking for killshot alternatives and I found the nikes in my size on ebay from a reputable seller for basically retail price so I went for it.

How are Bonobos dress shirts?

Any high quality ripoffs of the design? I've always wanted but the price is too steep. I'd even take faux leather. Unless real leather ages better.

Gustin ones are pretty close
Svensson sneakers look pretty close to CP sneakers

These are trash quality-wise, heard of people buying them and them falling apart within days.
Made in same factory on same sole as the common projects achilles low

You could also just get some all white Stan Smiths.

I prefer the gum soles on the Stan Smiths, myself. I like the contrast...and the inevitable dirt isnt nearly as noticeable on them.

I'm not a huge fan of the silhouette of the stan smiths but I'm really picky
Yeah I wouldn't say the stan smith's has a comparable silhuette to the CP achilles low, Stan smiths are just too bulky to even compare.
