Hey guys,
Im planning on improving my spring/summer wardrobe. I usually wear just tshirts and jeans which im tired of. Im looking around and i really like the look of short sleeve button downs, especially the patterned ones/ contrasting sleeves. Im looking at Topman's site and i have a couple of shirts that i really like, buuuuuut they're too expensive. :\
Do you guys know any cheaper alternatives?

H&M maybe? I'm not too sure how abundant they are in short sleeve button downs right meow though..
Got a couple from Asos that are wonderful. I'm sure looking around in various stores will turn out well for you.

I have no issue spending $800 shirt, but I do when it doesn't look like it's worth even a quarter of the price

well, I can't think of many $800 shirts that look like $800 shirts, if you know what I mean.

I get what you saying, but sometimes you will see a jacket, sweater.... that looks like it cost $1000+ just because of the material used, cut, tailoring
don't listen to mac, he don't know nothing bout no clothes
Guys I need your advice. I was about to order the Temple of Jawnz Minimalist Double Rider
but came across the ToJ Double Rider for sale for $650.
Do you guys think I should jump on the DR for less, or put an order in with ToJ for the MDR for $780? I like the DR, but was set on the MDR, though saving just over a hundred bucks is tempting.

Spend the extra $100 to get the TOJ custom made to your specifications. Better safe than sorry.

Those of you with Naked & Famous experience, what jeans should I try if I want to finally order some and I have big thighs, but like a bit smaller leg opening? DO they have a solid tapered fit? Also do they run big or small in waist size?

You should be getting the Naked & Famous Weird Guy fit. That's their tapered model. Depending on the jeans you're looking at, they'll run anywhere from 1in to 2in larger than tag size (as do most jeans).
If you're unsure about your size/fit, preferably order from a website that has measurements and/or a solid return/exchange policy.

I have three pairs of weird guys. I would not recommend them to you, me or anybody else. Sometimes I try to think of who I could give away my shitty jeans to, and then I realize: nobody.

These are on sale for $30... Any impressions? Need a few new pairs of casual pants and if these are good that would be great.
Edit: Actually I dunno, looks maybe a bit too baggy for me at the ankles...
Edit 2: Yeah, impressions seem to suck, probably just going to go to a store and try stuff on unless GAF says otherwise...

What specifically is wrong with them? What are you comparing them to also?

Thanks. I have settled on the fact that if I don't spend some more cash on jeans I'll never find any that fit my thighs well and are comfortable.
Why is this? What size do you have? You could always send me a pair!

I have the same big thighs too and have been struggling not just with jeans but pants in general!! So lemme know if you find a good pair!Thanks. I have settled on the fact that if I don't spend some more cash on jeans I'll never find any that fit my thighs well and are comfortable.

N&F runs pretty damn tight in thigh area and I've tried slim guy, skinny guy, weird guy.

size 31. But I don't think you'd want mine: grease stains on cuffs; dyed in silly novelty colors, not indigo; plus I'm 6'4" and they're shaped like my legs.
The real reason I don't care for them is my ass and thighs have muscled up, and also I think my idea of what jeans should look like has changed in the past 4 years since buying them.
I still wouldn't buy a new pair in a larger size because the rise is very low, and the cut of the leg just looks unappealing to me now.
@luckyboy I have pairs of apc, samurai, chimala, all of which I still occasionally wear, also bought when my legs were slimmer. APC I find to be the most wearable/versatile.
I like it. Versatile, understated, but it looks great. I have a similar one, although mine is cheaper, it's treated me very well.
You wear the New Standard cut? That is a good one for bigger guys.

Fair enough. Sounds more like it's less about the quality of Naked & Famous and more that their fits just aren't inline with your preferences anymore.
I still think that, at the price, they're probably the best pair of jeans on the market for people new to raw denim. There's no reason to put someone into Samurai or things of similar quality/level right off the bat. Naked & Famous or Unbranded are probably the two best options for what DC is looking for.

apc has the worst fit for me. way too tight in all the wrong places.
My weird guys are actually pretty roomy in the thigh area, unlike most jeans I try on. I wouldn't recommend them on my experience though, as I really dislike the fabric they used on mine (the way it fades looks terrible) and the finish doesn't seem all that great.
Anyone know a good cheaper alternative to these?

I really like them, but they're a bit over my price range, at least for now. I love the sturdy sole.

Deal alert:
Orient Monterey collection watches are $165 shipped (almost 50% off) until Feb. 9th (code: bythebay). Struggling to decide on which one to grab...

Also, what do you guys think of parkas w/ fur hoods? I just got Uniqlo's down version for $80 (from $200) and it's a nice trim fit + incredibly warm. I'm not used to wearing coats like this though so not sure if it's too femanine:

Got my Express stuff in. Out of all the work pants I've tried their Photographer fit seems to fit by far the best, especially with my big thighs. A comfy fit in the thigh and a bit smaller leg opening. I'll have to order some more when another sale pops up. They go great with my new brown ASOS shoes I got for $40 on sale.
Debating what to do on the jeans thing. I see pros and cons of N&F jeans. I just want a pair of jeans that fits my thighs, is comfortable, and doesn't have a huge leg opening. I really don't care if they are super fancy.

Picked up a very nice cantarelli suit from yoox (wool/mohair). Fit is pretty much what I expected, but the thing is covered in pick stitching.... Even the breast pocket has some lol. Dunno if such indulgence turns me off or impresses me haha.

What is the verdict on slip on dress shoes?

Unless they're loafers, avoid.
Even then, very, very few loafers look good. Get some nice wing tips and cap toes before moving on to loafers and double monks (which will actually be my next purchase) .
A clean pair of penny loafers is one of the purchases that has always sat in the back of my mind

Yea dude the right ones are just Sick, but they're usually 300 or so for the really slick ones. Can't justify that just now at this juncture in my life.

Does anyone have any links to a good shoe care guide? I have a pair of walnut AE Strands and a burgundy J&M Carlock Double Monk Strap and I want to make sure they're well protected before wearing them out. Do I need to use shoe cream or polish? And how often do I need to apply these?

Alden has chunky soles like that but they're even more expensive. J. crew has a new line of shoes in a similar style :https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shoes/oxfords/PRDOVR~09494/09494.jsp.
You need to look for a stacked sole with a 360 degrees welt: probably Goodyear or Blake.
