That sucks, I think my brother is in the same boat. Is it delayed until next semester or just a few weeks? Or, hopefully not, gone into the ether?

He should get it Friday if he got all the paper work submitted before the first of last month.

This is bullshit man how can they just delay the GI Bill?

They're actully behind this semester because of all the people that got out of active duty since last fall. It's the highest rate of ETS' personal to ever apply in a semester.

 

[freenudemacusers]

yeah he should be good then, he just got out a couple months ago haha.

and in the grand ol tradition of marines, was married for about 6 months to some crazy chick too

Thoughts?

I like them

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Maybe for the 4th of july.

 

[MegalonJJ]

yes I feel that picture does not accurately represent how calvin klein collection fits. it's much sharper and refined. that said, I don't know if I would want a velvet blazer with two buttons for nighttime use. I think one button is better. But I am not sure.

oh velvet master, what are your thoughts?

Well, of course, you'd only do up the top button, however with regards to one button or two button, it comes down to your preference (similarly, single vent or side vents).

(I dislike the lapels on that jacket too).

If you're not..."brave/fully comfortable"....enough with velvet yet, that shade is probably too light. Go for a darker (green/blue) shade. (You can further dress it down with a simple, dark round neck/roll neck jumper, and black trousers/jeans).

Ultimately, as the saying goes, the man makes the clothes.

Edit: Here's an example

 

[freenudemacusers]

Not a fan of peak lapels? or are they too small/large? And I'm not really afraid of velvet, I think that jacket would look nice with grey tuxedo pants and loafers.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Check it out. Last night I was walking home late from my college library when I saw someone with a jacket like this one:

http://www.jackthreads.com/edge-by-.../shawl-collar-wool-blend-coat/products/129567

Except it had a hood instead of the shawl collar. I asked him where he got it but he said his chick bought it for him last year. Any ideas where I can pick one up?

I like both peak and notch lapels.

It's more because the guy modelling it has poor structure/build, so it's ruining the symmetry of jacket and therefore making it look as though the lapels are uneven (on the left the lapel is almost higher than his trap...lol).

Generally with velvet blazers I prefer small (slim-width) lapels. I like the large lapels too, but I don't know if I would have them on velvet blazers (imo they would be suited to a double breasted velvet blazer more so than a single breasted).

It would look nice with your combination, just depends on how formal/smart you'd want to wear it.

Thoughts?

Like the shoe itself, hate the colorway.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Seeing as tomorrow is the most important day in the Men's Fashion calendar, what is everyone dressing up as for Halloween?

I still don't have a costume. If anyone has any (fashionable) ideas feel free to toss them my way.

 

[Illithid Dude]

wearing my sort of girlfriends rabbit fur vest today. while it's sort of effeminate looking, it's also incredibly baller. i'm conflicted.

[TheKaeptain]

Please make a thread.

Sooo I posted a few weeks ago about a wedding I needed outfits for. Thanks to Luckyboy for the advice, I appreciate it bro. I'm pretty much all set, wedding is on Saturday.

Morning part: Will be adding a tie, not sure which yet

Night party without the bowtie:

Night party, shirt and Bow Tie:

Still practicing the art of tying a bow tie. I'll be sure to get a good one. I also ordered the Bow Tie from http://www.thetiebar.com/. Great site. Tons of different ties to choose from. They're all 15$. I got the Midnight blue one with light stripes. It's also wool. The tie is very nice. Great quality.

Got a brown belt which is not pictured. Pants are dark grey, shirts are light grey and pink. Sweater is a deep red. Macy's had a crazy sale so I got everything for pretty cheap. Pants were like half off for 80. Shirts were buy one get one free.(60$) Sweater was on sale from 80 to 40.

Overall I'm pretty excited for this wedding. This is actually the most comfortable I feel as far as how I'm dressed for a wedding in a long time. Thoughts?

 

[Illithid Dude]

another successful manshion makeover. looks good man.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Tashi looking fresh brother! Great pick ups. You did well. The bow tie in particular is fantastic, looks great on you.

Now to add a few more pieces to your wardrobe and you'll be hooked on fashion.

 

[TheKaeptain]

I really think Bowties and Beards look good together. Maybe I've just been to Silverlake one too many times.

 

[Tashi]

Thank you thank you!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You guys gotta help me put together a sweet ass suit later on.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Top cop or not to cop? Rag & Bone.

Midnights we can def do that bro.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I don't know who makes r&b shoes but they look pretty cool. I'm in a similar boot situation:

mark mcnairy... I dig the natural tanned welt but I don't know if that will look like shit in a couple of months.

 

[Illithid Dude]

why is lookbook.nu so oppresively terrible.

stylezeitgeist makes me want to become gothninja

i like black desert boots/ chukkas, lucky, but something about those rubs me the wrong way. opening ceremony makes nice desert boots for basically the same price that i think look much nicer.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The weather here is so mild I forget people need thick boots or big ass jackets half the year.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I just noticed the heel cap on the r&b boots. I don't know about that. makes me uncomfortable. looks kinda glued on.

 

[TheKaeptain]

this is why I love winter time. I get to wear boots.

I think those look great!

 

[yukinon]

Looking good, man. Welcome.

Thanks man!

Thoughts?

I like the colorway and the shoe itself

Not sure if I can pull em off though

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Who would have thought the navy blue chinos I bought at Gordman's for like $10 for my Halloween costume would work out awesome for work.

I've apparently been doing it all wrong spending $50+ on work pants...

 

[lupin23rd]

Not really up-to-date on my tie matching technique, is this tie something to wear with a nice dark brown or navy winter jacket or should I steer towards other non-matching colors?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Looking good Tashi.

 

[panthapanda]

FashionGAF, recommend me some nice wingtips.

 

[crooked spin]

These Meermin bluchers are menswear blogger-approved: http://meermin.es/catalogo2.php?id=2

how much would you like to spend?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Casual Friday. New sweatshirt I got from the Gap. Allows me to wear a sweatshirt to work and yet still have a collar (of sorts)! Thoughts? It needs to be worn in a bit still.

 

[friday]

Looks good man.

this is why I love winter time. I get to wear boots.

Psshh, boots are a four season shoe.

Not when you live in a hot as fuck part of the country.

 

[VoxPop]

Just got an entire bag of things from ASOS before my trip. God damn these skinny chinos are skinny. Not bad though. Gonna return one of the jackets and hit up soho later today to find a replacement jacket and maybe pick up a pair of denim.

First time ordering from them. Mostly a good experience. Really quick 2 day delivery considering its coming from the UK.

I live in Phoenix, wore iron rangers all summer, come at me

 

[panthapanda]

I would say no more than 300$. I want to wear these casually. So ideally, around 150$.

Living in the Northwest this is so true.

I got a similar cashmere sweater a while back. I love it.

Your boy kills it on casual fridays.

 

[freenudemacusers]

If you want to wear them casually, I'd go with full brogues over more formal wingtips. aldo mr b has some brogue longwings that would look good with jeans/etc:

I've seen a few of them in person and they are put together decently; about $170 or something.

Further up the chain is johnston & murphy, florsheim, and allen edmonds (the latter being the best in this range)

edit: you can also try discount sites like yoox etc.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I fucking knew it man, the card was 25 bucks. My luck is so amazingly garbage I swear.

 

[Fou-Lu]

So it's started to snow where I live, recs on winter boots that are actually fashionable? (As well as any other winter items, I'm trying to build up a more year round wardrobe here)

 

[trixx]

I'm new here i think?
I was looking to get a new winter coat. I want something that is more everyday style nothing dressy and i don't want a bomber. I'm actually a fan of some of the adidas jackets(i hate myself for not hopping on the 50% sale they had last week). Anyways what are some of your takes on their jacket, any jackets with similar look(parka style) anyone you think i should get?

I'd say that $250 is my limit, i'm a broke student and i still need clothes

edit: from looking at op, this thread is way too fashionable for me

If you can afford it, Red Wing heritage and Wolverine 1000 mile has some really nice options.

Nearly got these, but decided against them at the last moment because they're a bit too situational for the 200 Euros that they cost.
Did end up getting a pair of Filippa K chukka's though.

Why do newer Levi's 514s feel looser?
