thoughts on these boots?

and kind of color scheme to fashion it with?

http://www.riverisland.com/men/shoes--boots/boots/Black-contrast-panel-military-boots-272944

They're a little too busy for me. The silhouette is nice but I think they'd look better without all the detailing going on.

Has anyone ever had any dealings with Paul Smith customer services, well after their purchase date?

Bought a pair of shoes (well, rather ankle boots) in June 2012, and having only worn them a handful of times (about seven), the sole is coming apart. What's worse is that the times I have worn them, have only been indoors 99% of the time, during the evenings (I've never worn them in rain, due to the leather soles). They were pricey too.

Da fuq is up with that. I've got other, less expensive, PS shoes which I wear day in, day out for well over a year and they're going strong.

Angry email or what? Mr Hare shoes have godlike post purchase care (i.e. replacing a pair of shoes for a minor fault, a year well after the purchase date).

Do you live near one of their stores? If so, probably the best thing to do is to go in and show them your issue in person. Otherwise an email/call is your best bet.

I'd imagine they'd be understanding, although June 2012 really is pretty far back.

There is a store nearby, although I bought them on the online store.

Hmmm, I'll visit the store and see what they say. Or just send a firm email to customer services.

Do I have to be JGL to make a sweater vest look good? Give it to me straight.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I've always thought sweater vests had potential to be fashionable. It's a tough look to pull off, but I'm a believer.

 

[freenudemacusers]

only if they are leather

 

[Illithid Dude]

That sounds like more of an Illithid Dude move to me.

Spoiler

Jeans look dope. Would (drunkenly) cop.

nah, i draw the line at ss06.

speaking of dior, though, i just bought a black destroyed v-neck sweater. will post pics when it comes in.

I already bought that polka dot pattern short sleeve button up, might buy another pattern (different one of course) it's short sleeve and a different color.

Am I just paranoid/wrong for thinking that I'm retreading ground?

 

[Buckethead]

Someone help me find these:

I need them.

 

[freenudemacusers]

hard to tell what's going on in that picture; but they look like chisel-toed cuban heeled boots of some kind

you really can't have too many buttonups. they're always useful.

Pretty much the conclusion I came to. So I bought that thing.

How's the cold weather treating you guys? Layering and looking stylish as all hell?

 

[Illithid Dude]

92 in l.a. last week. what cold weather.

Yeah. I live a bit further south in California than you. Last week legitimately had me angry. Why can't it just be cold.

 

[Dance Inferno]

What is wrong with you. It's cold here in NYC and I hate it.

Fashion-wise I love it, of course. But weather-wise I hate it.

 

[thezerofire]

I like the cold. I want to get this:

Are you in any part of OC by chance?

 

[overcast]

Are you in any part of OC by chance?

Not yet. I live in Temecula if you have any idea where that is. I go to LA/OC quite a bit though. I am also planning to transfer from my community college to either CSUF or Cal Poly Pomona. That'll be in Fall 2015 though.

Not sure if this belongs here, but what the hell.

Want to get a nice leather gym bag for someone, any suggestions, looking to spend a couple of hundred.

 

[thezerofire]

While we're on the subject, I could use a good weekender kind of bag

 

[Frustrated_me]

Whats the trends for winter coats, bomber jackets?

 

[Illithid Dude]

beckel canvas

their war bag is the right size for a carry on, i believe

they make good stuff, i like the olive color

plus it's made in good 'ole US of A

I was gonna suggest coach and jack spade, but the former is much more expensive than i thought (~$600), and the latter just has deer suede as an option, not something I would want to inflict a lot of environments on.

Would a nice canvas/leather combo work? There are several options in the 200-300 range.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Lucky,


got my jeans in. They fit nice.

Bombers seem to be everywhere , but I wouldn't exactly call them winter jackets, at least not here in Chicago.

I'm not a huge fan of the rectangular design, looks a little strange to me but thanks

Awesome dude. Are they the right size then? Successful drunk purchase?

 

[TheKaeptain]

Yeah. I just got them.

 

[Illithid Dude]

does really liking the balmain ss14 collection make me a bad person?

 

[freenudemacusers]

no that shit is dope

 

[overcast]

I was probably going to get a bomber this winter. No coats for me.

Think my confidence has stepped up. Naturally, I kept getting clothes that I like and I just think I'm wearing them better than I have before. Sat next to a girl on a whim in class, and I just added her on FB. Just feeling it today maybe.

So, thanks a lot guys.

Yeah, it would do, 200-300 is fine, i just need some options. Thought about Jack as well, and regret missing out on a sale they had a month or so ago, should have jumped on it then but wasn't sure at the time. Thanks for looking out, appreciate any and all help.

Coldest I have ever been in was like 10f. The hottest was like 129 when I was deployed to Iraq.

 

[freenudemacusers]

my personal best was -40. I wanted to die.

Where and Why? Fuck that noise. I'm a Cali kid. I put sweaters on when it drops below 70.

 

[freenudemacusers]

[TheKaeptain]

Nice. Is the base nice? I use to get sad when I went to Air Force bases. They were always nice compared to Army bases.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

I think my record was around -30 and it was almost an entire week of mornings like that. One morning, a part of my car's engine physically broke off and fell on the ground when I tried to start it.

base was alright, housing was pretty bad, even for officers. apparently buckley is pretty ballin.

yeah, I had to plug my car in to keep the engine from freezing solid. even then it still sounded like it was dying.

I wore a down jacket yesterday. It was 60 outside.

It's been weird around here. As soon as 5pm hits it starts to get cold.

 

[Lirlond]

It hovers between -10 and 5C right now, cant' wait for that heavy windchill in December/January. ;-;

 

[TheKaeptain]

I use to date a girl that was Minnesota. She wanted me to go visit her family in the winter. I just shook my head.
