I own a pair of these and a pair of Outlier OGs, and I think I wear the Proofs more. Button hasn't popped off (unlike outlier), and seems lay like they should (unlike outlier).
however I've cooled on the schoeller fabric used in these pants. It's not really very water resistant, rather its utility in bad weather is that it dries out quicker than cotton once you're inside. The static cling is also a problem for me.
What do you people do to deal with static? I haven't tried hairspray because it just seems icky and wrong, but nothing else works.

As I'm going to NYU, I'm gonna have to start copping some actual winter wear. Since I live in L.A., I don't know what that is. Would a standard coat/peacoat cut it for a New York winter, or do I have to go harder? If I gotta go harder, does anyone have any recommendations?

my shearling should do you well until it gets windy and brutally cold

This might be a stupid question with an obvious answer but it's definitely something I need help with ;_;
It's obviously not a problem really with white dress shirts, but whenever I wear black or pastel coloured dress shirts, there are really bad white marks from deodorant on the inside of the shirt after I take it off, and I'm worried that I'm damaging the shirt.. Is there anything I can do to prevent those stains? :S Not wearing deodorant isn't really an option for me LOL ;_;

Layers man. Heat tech stuff as a base and then build from there. The mid layer should be something insulating like wool or down. Outer layers should keep the wind/water/snow out. When the wind is really kicking it is hard to beat something like gore tex for keeping the cold out. Don't forget your gloves and hat.
Honestly this winter has been horrid. It is below 32 almost every day.

You can do a peacoat if you layer properly. Just know that Manhattan is a fucking wind tunnel in winter. If you're not opposed to rocking a down jacket, an 800 or so rated jacket will do you perfectly. If not, you can do layers for warmth and just have the outer layer block the wind. And invest in some warm functional gloves. Without them your hands are going to hurt and your skin will get all sorts of fucked up. Also, you get to rock scarves now. Congrats!
I'm just outside of NYC and the most I layer is an 800 Northface, a sweater, and a t-shirt, and a scarf and I'm never cold that way. But then again, half the time I go out in just a t-shirt and a hoodie and I'm fine, so I do cold well.
Just keep in mind that they key to cold is layers, layers, layers, along with the fact that you're either built for it, or you're not.

Overcast bb, I mean sorta chill passive things a la Christophe Lemaire, Stephan schneider, yohji Yamamoto etc.

It smells pretty nice too.use this said:
Let it dry thoroughly and brush off the excess with your fingers too, always helps.

Find a deodorant that doesn't have aluminum. I personally use the one Baxter sells. It's light stuff which is good for clothes but if you sweat like crazy or need a strong scent then look elsewhere.

it may be 48 hours for you regular beta bros, but I live life hardcore so it's really only 10 hours for me, and it need to be fresh to death at all times.

Hm, I use an aluminum-free antiperspirant and still get the marks, but at least it doesn't stain the shirt as badly as the regular drug store stuff.

Fucking $850 for a black hoody (that hangs badly and looks kind of pants), over $400 for an admittedly pretty cool looking tee?Ahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHA! said:
High fashion be cray. I could buy a whole wardrobe for that money.
(Seriously, that hoody is really, really bad. It looks like a £5 special from Primark.)

Hey FashionGAF, I bought a pair of ASOS brown derby shoes recently, nothing amazing but I figured I'd try to keep them nice when they started cracking where they bend, and of course I scuffed the toes.
Anyway, I somehow ended up with some 'PALC' self shining shoe cream due to a fast talking lady (who applied some to my shoes without asking!) but don't think this is really that great for shoes. I've tried to remove it with a damp t-shirt and think it's gone...
... so is this stuff OK? If not, what should I use? I don't want a military shine, but want a satin type sheen and for them to look nice, and have the natural leather look. Meltonian neutral shoe cream? Something else? This stuff is all new to me and I'd like to try and figure it out before buying more expensive shoes further down the track.
I'm in Australia (Melbourne) and shoe care stuff doesn't seem that really available.
Sorry for the intrusion... as you were...

I was just reading his CoD Ghost OT for old times sake. Pure genius.
Anyone here have experience with Top Man's jackets? A few of their black bombers look nice, I think I am gonna go by the store this weekend. I am looking for a simple black jacket, either a bomber or denim jacket with a max budget of $250.

OK, I've come across a fashion dilemma and I need GAF help. I want to get a pair of black pants but should I be getting black jeans or black trouser/chino pants? What side of the fence are you guys on?
Sidenote: I want to wear them for night outs.

either would be fine for going out at night, but I prefer black jeans to pants, generally. that said, if you're running into dress code / club situations, I'd skip jeans entirely. are you wearing a blazer out or just a shirt?

A shirt. Blazers looks stupid on me. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone look stupid in a blazer. Are you sure you are getting the right size blazer?
