I need something like this. My work requires nicer shoes but I will be walking to work in winter, so I'm looking for a boot that is not too boot-like. I wonder if Red Wing Shoes has anything suitable since there is one in town.

the red wing gentleman's traveler is pretty work-friendly IMO:

I don't see these on their site. I do see some nice things like the Beckman, but they don't come in wide, and Iron Rangers seem a bit much, so I may have to settle for Chukkas. I don't think we're overly strict about dress code, but I'll ask my boss about it. I'm pretty sure I just can't be noticeably clomping around in anything too heavy, but that I will find some measure of understanding since I'll be walking to work and later riding a motorcycle to work.
Supposedly true to size, but I usually size down at least half for all my boots. You can try emailing them- their support is pretty awesome.
I originally found those on Reddit and reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Only hassle is shipping.

Pressure is on to grab a jacket. Need to start looking. I have a leather hoodie type jacket that serves me well. Looking into getting 2 more.
Debating between:
-Leather bomber (black or maybe even brown considering my leather jacket is black)
-Denim Jacket of some sort.
-Pea coat of some sort.
Which ones are the most versatile? Which ones make the most sense for a So Cal winter? I figure the pea coat will be used less, but I love the way it looks with a scarf.

I know last So Cal winter, I wore a t-shirt half the time. Personally, I'm partial to denim jackets, and if you're in doubt about if that will be warm enough you can get one of the denim jackets with the shearling accents that seem to be so popular these days.

I sent them some emails about the boots a month ago- they respond pretty quickly. All you have to do is email them if you're interested and they'll ask you for all the required info.
So I'm thinking of taking the plunge on this watch. Any updated impressions on this after you bought it?
I'm also considering picking up the Cole Haan Lunargrand Wingtip. Anyone here have any impressions of them?
I got mine on saturday but I was out of town, so I'm just now seeing it. It's pretty nice. It's not too big. Last watch I wore was hilarious large and it was like ten years ago. I like it so far, I went with the roman numerals instead of the regular digits. I don't regret it one bit.

The Burberry London suit is nice, a little trimmer than my ck collection but bit overly so.

aside from a hemming, no, it's pretty much perfect. looking to acquire another soon, they seem to be the only brand that does a nice wool/mohair regularly.

Nice, thanks for the impressions. How long did it take for the item to be delivered?
So I have my Cousin's wedding in about a month. We're Albanian-Muslim so it's a little different. There's a morning reception and a night reception that I'll be attending. My old suit doesn't fit me because I lost a ton of weight and I don't want to buy a new suit because I plan on losing more weight/working out etc.
I'm thinking of buying a pair a dress pants to use for both the morning and night reception. However the tops would be different for each. I'm thinking for the morning I'll do a nice Sweater with a button down and tie under it. And for the night I'm thinking a cardigan with a button down and a bow tie under it. I've never rocked a bow tie before but I figure now is a good chance to see how it goes.
What I have:
Brown dress shoes
Brown Belt
Some button downs and ties
What I need:
Dress pants
Cardigan
Sweater
Bow tie
My budget is probably 250-300$. I'm not trying to go crazy over here. I also figured I could use the sweaters through the fall and winter without. Throw some ideas at me GAF. I need colors and shit.

I don't want to start a whole thread for something so unimportant so I thought I'd ask Man-Gaf for advice. I just started shaving with a razor. Up until now I've been using clippers but I've had to clipper every week or so and thought I may as well shave. I just wanted to know what processes or precautions I should take when shaving. What moisturizers/lotions/aftershaves I could apply to ensure that my skin is damaged as minimally as possible. I have extremely fair and sensitive skin so the slightest inconsistency is evident - which I hate. Thanks for the advice.

So about two weeks. I guess that's not too terrible.
Look up wet shaving. It's the only way to shave IMO.

How formal are the receptions? I assume the morning one is more formal, evening a little more loose and casual?
Definitely get yourself a pair of good trousers. You're right in that you can wear them in both settings. If you're looking for a versatile color, go with grey or navy blue (stay away from black). You'll probably want blue since your shoes/belt are brown.
As for the top, if you really want to wear a bow tie then go for it. I wouldn't pair it with a cardigan though. That's a super preppy look that screams more "ivy league classroom" to me than it does wedding. If the evening reception is a little more loose and casual, you might be good just wearing the bow tie with a crisp dress shirt (tucked in of course) and rolling up your sleeves. For shirt colors, look for a muted pink/orange or just stick with white. The tie can be just about anything. If possible get some socks that match/compliment either your tie or your shirt.
For the wedding itself a sweater would work. Not sure if you want crewneck or v-neck, but either would be doable. Grey is going to go with/over anything, default to that if you can't find anything you like. Wearing a tie underneath is certainly more formal. I would stay away from a bow tie in this instance however.
Honestly, if you can spring for a cheap blazer (H&M perhaps?), I'd do it. Not only will it come in handy for this event, but you'll get lots of use out of it in your everyday life. Granted, with your build, it's going to be tough to find, but stay open to the idea. I know H&M has sold them for around $100 before.
That boot is custom order so I'm sure they could do it if you email them and they have black chromexcel.
Nope- was going to but ended up getting Iron Rangers for my bday.
Check out this thread on Reddit that has links to tons of reviews & impressions:

might get both then. finally got a real job and I can afford things haha
Good looking out bro. Appreciate it.
Yea I've been looking for inspiration online and have seen a lot of that preppy style you mention, that's definitely not what I'm looking for.
My first thought was also grey. I wanna TRY a bow tie to see if I can pull it off. It's different and new for me so if it looks good, I'll rock it. If not, then it'll just be a straight up tie.
The morning is definitely more formal than the evening but they're both pretty formal. By the end of the evening however, everyone will be drunk and dancing and so it won't matter. A lot of people just take off their jackets.
So right now I'm looking at:
Morning:
Grey/Blue dress pants
Sweater
Dress shirt
Tie
Night:
Same grey/blue pants
Dress shirt
Bow Tie
OR
Night:
Same grey/bkue pants
Dress shirt
Tie
A Cardigan and a Tie for the night wedding might be nice too. I'll see. I'm gonna head to the mall tomorrow and see what I can find.

I went shopping for boots to go with my outfits but not a single store carried size 14s or above. I found a pair but they cut to 13. I'm not cramming my wide feet into those. Also they were only $60.

Just got my Rodina 
Shipping took 2-3 weeks and it arrived in a very safe and nice package. The quality looks to be impeccable, you'll have to excuse the instapic.
There's also this pretty through review of the watch for those interested, highly recommend it.

have you considered biting the bullet and going through zappos? You might end up paying more, but they have a great selection and practically every size on earth.

Anywho, got my ASOS order in. The long sleeved polo is nice but the Chambray shirt isn't quite my style and is longer than it showed it the photo, I can't really wear it untucked. Might be sending it back.
What do you all think of this for a Fall jacket? $90 right now.

I've been on Zappos and I can't really find the boot style I'm looking for. I decided that i might take the risk and buy some New Balance 501 to match some of my clothing.
Those color combos look perfect for fall IMO. Man boots would look nice with my peacoat though.

Ordered that jacket. Hopefully it looks solid. I like the look.
Now for some new Clarks maybe...
