Maybe this? Not exactly a traditional pea coat, but pretty close. 200 Euros on the EU Suit supply store, can't see the US price sadly.
I love everything about this.

Blake stitching, not the best to keep them for a long time :/

i love side zips if only because my freakishly wide feet makes it nigh impossible to put on boots without them.
Glad I saw this post, selection seems to be better than last time I looked!
Blazer-GAF, thoughts on rocking a corduroy blazer (or hypothetically any sport coat) with any of the following:
- crew neck sweater (cashmere, cable-knit or not), no dress shirt underneath
- one of those quarter / half-zip sweaters, dress shirt underneath (or not)
- something similar to the zip above but with buttons (button-up sweater? not a long sleeve polo or cardigan lol)
Obviously the dress shirt or v-neck with dress shirt work but looking for something a little more casual and I'm not seeing turtlenecks in any colors I like (or even sure I like turtlenecks).
I see some disdain for the lack of collared shirt with a jacket so wanted to hear some thoughts.
http://www.suitsupply.com should send you to the us site if you're from the US. There's also a few stores around the US, so with a bit of luck you can check them out in person.

Seems like a step down for Allen Edmonds considering they're featured in a lot of higher end stores. Granted, it would be interesting to see what Men's Warehouse does with them, but I can't imagine there being much upside for Allen Edmonds outside of a nice payday initially. Either way I doubt it goes through.
Very bad. Hope it doesn't happen.

Need to buy a new pair of shoes.
I was in Chicago the other week with my worn out Clarks. Threw them out and snagged these only because they were relatively cheap and my feet were seriously blistered from walking around so much with my Clarks
But they're a bit too "out there" for certain outfits so I'm looking for new shoes. Maybe boots, or wingtips... I want to buy Clarks again but I think I want to try something new first.
Suggestions? >$100?

hah oops didn't read very well.
boots are gonna be tough at $100 outside of something crepe soled like clarks. johnston and murphy has some stuff at $200 that isn't bad, but lower than that nothing comes to mind that I would want to recommend.

As a 23 year old dude, are band shirts still cool?

Band shirts with beat up chucks or vans, black skinnies, and maybe a leather jacket, will always be a cool look IMO.

I just bought these two, can't wait for them to arrive:
Copped this today:
Long story short originally this sold out like instantly, but I had my name taken down in case they did another run. I went in today and they apparently people passed on the small and it became available again so I decided to just get it. They're doing another run with two different washes, and I loved loved the light wash, but it's not dropping until next week and I doubted my chances of being able to snag it as they only made one per size.
I feel like this won't get enough love until spring when it's warmer, but I'm gonna see what I can maybe layer with it.

It looks like a funky gi
Bought my first pair of Clarks Chukka Boots this week and got them in last night. So yeah, they feel comfortable, but the heel feels loose and when I'm walking, it lifts a little bit. Is this normal? Unfortunately I've already worn them out, so I can't really return them. I also had to borrow some socks from my dad because I don't have any tall socks
and the ones I'm wearing are kinda thin. Maybe thicker socks? I don't know, I just can't really get them any tighter, especially with only two holes for strings.
Also, does anyone know a good place to buy dress socks online? I wear a size 15 and it's hard finding bigger socks.
yes, I am a heathen

What should I wear with it? Thinking slim black trousers, but the top is driving me mad. I think blues would work but until I've got it on I'm awful at matching shit.

b/w gingham, check, or plaid would look nice I'd think.

Just checked several of my past orders and it routinely takes 6 days (with the exception of one order) to go from shipping to arrival in Seattle, so roughly a week.

Where did you get your jacket? want
Awesome, thank you
Do you happen to know if the sizing is the same as in the US? Don't wanna order a bunch of stuff and realize it doesnt fit me having to return it :[

It's been a while since I've ordered from the UK branch, but I don't recall there being anything terribly out of whack with the sizing, aside from the knowledge that most of what they sell is cut for the lanky, thin types.

They're probably just too big. Did you buy them in your sneaker size? Cause typically you'll want to go down at least a half size with boots, if not a whole size.
As for a way to remedy that, thicker socks would work (maybe a raglan wool?). You can also double/triple sock. Your feet are going to be sweating like mad but it's worth a shot. If there's ever a time of year to do it in, it's now.
That right there would be a wonderful outfit. Makes me wish I had more color in my wardrobe.I have a similar sweater and have done colors along these lines:

Got this in the mail today:
One of those "ninja" sweaters from ARSNL that Jackthreads always has.
It's actually surprisingly good!
The fit and finish feels fine, it took me a long ass time to figure out how to use the balaclava looking thing. The only negative thing about it is the balaclava ruins your hair since you gotta pull it over your head. But yeah other than that, I quite like them.

I see nothing wrong with it. I like the charcoal one myself but the navy is a nice color too.
