What am I joking about?

I eat breakfast 300 yards from 4000 Gaffers who are trained to troll me with toxic Wii U doom-naysaying, so don't think for one second that you can come down here, insult brogues, and make me nervous.

Wasting money on a l Wii U makes sense if you can afford prorsum

That line stuck with me after listening to a "Jack Nicholson calls Pizza" place prank call (lol).

@Ninjabox I was surprised that you weren't familiar with the shoes Fox listed, particularly oxford and derby shoes.

I was very careful to say "IMO" being sure not to offend delicate sensibilities. I also said I don't have a clue about shoes.

Dress shoes just aren't my thing. I've heard of them, but I couldn't point them out.

Sunderland man, how dare you.

Plus, wasn't I wearing a shirt to the meet you attended? I don't own many mind!

[Cosmic Bus]

Cali dudes, what are some cool shops and/or boutiques to check out in San Francisco?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

They're so busy man:

They just look fussy and chintzy to me. But I'm not really a fan of dress shoes in general, so my opinion is kind of moot anyway.

MAAS & Stacks is supposedly pretty cool. I only found out about it last week and haven't been in but the brands seem good:

What kind of footwear are you guys wearing this spring—espadrilles, bucks, vans, mocs?

What brands or lines, specifically.. looking to step my shoe game up this spring/summer.

Put This On has an article on being a clothes minimalist.

I love clothes, but I feel I have enough. Other than replacing stuff as its ages, I find it hard to want to shop for stuff. Could anyone relate?

I feel most of the menswear internet dudes have ridiculous amount of clothes. I actually like using all my clothes.

I think they're probably deep in that realm of shopaholicism that a lot of women seem to be stuck in. (buy a lot of bags and anything that looks kind of cute when you go shopping if there's a sale or even if there's not)

For me, I want to get one piece of all of the basics... but if I only get one of an item, I feel a little limited depending on the color/fabric it is, so if there's a sale I'll try to get a few colors just in case for coordinating. Lately I've been wanting to brighten up my wardrobe since so much of it is dark red/navy/black/gray...

I've always loved the idea of putting together a wardrobe slowly, carefully curated as well. Not just going nuts on every sale. Some thrifted stuff, some MTM stuff, some OTR stuff.

 

[Psychoward]

Bought a casual button down that's sleeves are slightly longer than I'd like, do I roll up the cuffs once to get a better length or leave it?

 

[OfWhiteSkinOnRedLeather]

No chukkas? Red wings? Oxfords? Derbys? Brogues? Loafers?

F that! 1000 Mile > Red Wings and you know it.

You could probably get it tailored to your liking inexpensively.

Yeah probably will later, but I'd also like to wear it tonight, so.

I'm taking out a bank loan for these:

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Those dark blue ones are mint. I love the colour and shape of the sole.

Would wear, do want.

fyi they're in that grouping of designer multi-hundred sneakers that are made in the same factory as $30 shoes.

 

[Alucrid]

still not a fan of feit designs

 

[freenudemacusers]

they fall into the same category as buttero sneakers, a little too 'artisan' looking for my taste. i like my joints crispy and sleek.

Both looks are great but I much prefer the one on the left (Hanes tee).

 

[freenudemacusers]

he should do a comparison with the $2000 armani cashmere tshirt

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The little differences are what make up that 445 dollar discrepancy.

I prefer the RO one because it's different. A thousand guys in plain black t shirts have that look walking around but how many have that silhouette that the RO creates?

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Yeah, I assumed, it was wishful thinking more than anything. They are real classy, I love the minimalism. But they actually look expensive and well made, those ones I mentioned before looked like cheap, tacky knock-offs.

Edit: re the black tees, I agree with Style Fox that the twisted one on the right is more interesting. But id still get the one on the left cos I'm just so vanilla.

 

[freenudemacusers]

you're not really supposed to use yoox photos as reference points, they make everything look bad.

don't really like twisty things. but tees don't really excite me either. what to do.

 

[zeopower6]

Different textures? Cutouts?

 

[freenudemacusers]

probably textures, but nobody makes particularly interesting, normal-shaped textured tees. especially in grey.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is there any worse feeling than buying something full price then you see it 60% off on some frenzy sale? Or the day after there's a coupon code for the whole site.

That's why I gotta stay conservative and wait for the right time to strike.

 

[Alucrid]

at least yoox doesn't use models. mr porter takes the time to and generally their styling turns out terrible still

i don't know, it's hard to beat spread blue stripe x rick owens

mrporter's only crime is neutering the extreme stuff trying to make it biz-caz work friendly. nothing beats myhabit's use of jcpenny bearded model dudes wearing demeulemeester shirtdrapes and rick owens broskirts.
