could be a similar situation like yoox where they have a US and international warehouse with different stock, so my 'in preparation' is really 'being sent to america for dispatch'. how do you like them, by the way?

look great! i didn't have a tortoiseshell pair before so that's nice, very similar in shape and size to my oliver peoples wayfarers (which is good since i have a pretty small face and aviators look a bit weird on me)

Has anyone tried Land's End for chinos? I saw some other sites mentioning they're pretty good for the price.

never tried them, but I too have heard good things about them from corners i respect. i realize this is kind of a useless post, just saying you aren't on a bad track. same with their oxfords, too.

Cool, I'll try to track them down. None of the sears by me carry them.
And maybe not as useful as first hand experience but at least I know I'm going in the right direction. I really wish uniqlo had chinos without that coin thing in the front. I really liked them but I hated the look if I tuck in my shirt.
Yeah, about to right now.
Edit: Here you go Zero. I'm not great at taking pictures, so they are what they are. I'm 6'3 190, and the shirts are L for reference.

Got my first pair of brogues today.
How is there so much creasing already? :O
What company are they? They look pretty nice. The sole look too boot-like for my taste but that just might be the angle.
I wanted a pair with that look, so I went with a pair of used Alfred Sargent. Yeah, the sole is a bit thicker than I thought it would be, but they're quite nice anyway. I've seen a couple of pairs that I would like to get and will probably get another pair when they're on sale.

Ah, ok. I was hoping they were used with the creases since new shoes shouldn't crease that quick.
They look nice though, enjoy!Auron_Kale

Anyone have experience with Nudie Jeans' shirts?
Looking to get their Chambray Gunnar shirt, but dunno about the fit.
Thanks.

are their flannel shirts good

don't know about their flannels, but the regular casual button downs are fine. i hugely prefer gitman and mauro grifoni but that's also like 8x the price (tho grifoni can be got very cheap on yoox)

I've been looking to revamp my dress shirt regimen (business casual office life) to include some slim fit, spread collar dress shirts to replace my old ones. I was in Brooks Brothers the other day and loved their selection and fit, but couldn't justify spending anywhere near $100 a shirt. Are there any similar options available on a budget?

Does anyone here care about Gustin?
Just picked up a pair of Bonobos bottle rocket slim straights that were put up on sale recently. Added the 20% first order coupon for a total of $46 which isn't too bad at all.
I've been looking at the site for a while and am intrigued. I really like the light weight denims and would love to see more of the 9oz summer denim that was put up recently.

Wound up getting Banana Republic Chinos, their emerson line had the best looking fit for me. The other companies I tried were either too tight or just baggy for the most part. I hope they hold up well, they looked nice overall.

no such thing as a too busy print.
and there are some cool prints at zara, but all those dudes rocking a L makes me think that shit is cut super small.

Zara tees fit really weird and I don't like them one bit, but oddly enough their outerwear and suit jackets are great for a lil bro like me.

nah, brogues + jeans are perfectly fine, assuming by 'jeans' you mean 'very dark and slim with minimal fading/etc'. I wouldn't wear it with baggies and a hoodieI need brown leather shoes to go with a grey/light grey suit AND some dark blue jeans....
think these would work?
i think they might be too formal for jeans maybe?
too long or boxy or __? basically, is it worth a try or should I just skip.

Boxy and odd in the shoulders -- although I'm kind of broad around there for a small guy, so their stuff might work ok for you, mac

Can you guys recommend any luggage/suitcase sets that are pretty fashionable?
Idk about their t-shirts. I bought 2 jackets on sale and a pair of jeans that are doing well so far. Next time I'm near one I'm going to check it out in person. Sometimes the fits are a little weird on them.

Anyone know how the Gustin straight jeans fit? I generally wear a 33 Levi's 505 but have always been interested in some designer jeans. I am looking at Gustin's summerweight jeans.
They have a fit guide on their site.
https://www.weargustin.com/fitguide
Grab a tape measure, grab a pair of jeans that fit you well, and compare those measurements with the ones on Gustin.

Haha, I'd wear those.I kinda want these:
anyone know much about these:

i've been eyeing Common Projects but just happened to see this guy's shoes and how they're basically CPs minus huge cost and some small aesthetic stuff, I am sure the leathers used vary a bit too. most quick internet research says they're pretty damn comfy and get the job done. i wanted the CPs for their minimalist look and these fit the bill.
general thoughts?

Those could work but I'd get bluchers instead of oxfords. They're slightly more casual than oxfords but they can still work with suit. Google Alden LWB to have an aspirational classic to look at.
