Anyone know the jacket/shoes?

Jacket is too dope. Boots look to be typical service boot type. I know Wolverine and Alden make them.

In terms of quality, Cole Haan Lunargrands are pretty bad. Personally, I wouldn't purchase a pair unless they were well under $100.


Very nice You're collection appears very eclectic. Well done.

Thanks man. I started with the basics then moved onto custom orders like the navy boots, green bluchers and black and gray two tone boots.

Too bad the navy python was cancelled. Would've been a killer boot.

i'm pretty sure adrian polishes new shoes.

i have a random question ive been wanting to ask for a while.. those of you with tons of shoes with varying shades of brown.. do y'all have a different horsehair brush for each shoe or do you do what i do and use half of it on one shoe and half on the other? i have 2 for 4 pairs

Click to expand...

I have 2 pencil dauber brush for applying brown polish, one for light brown (tan/walnut) and one for brown/dark brown, AE sells them for like $2 and free shipping. In addition I have 2 different large horsehair brushes for polishing for light and dark brown. I try not to mix the two different tones. I recommend hitting up Men's Wearhouse when they have 50% off everything as their large horsehair brushes come out to about $3.50. A buy 1 get 1 free is another time to come up on them at MW, if you need more than 1.

For brushes, I used to be OCD about that. I even labeled them so I don't get mixed up. I don't really care now though. Today when I spent the time to clean my shoes, I used the same brush for all the browns this renders the other 4 or so brushes useless.

I've told this Wis before, my favorite aspect about his style are his kicks. I would wear every single pair he owns.

People ask about bags a decent amount in here, messengers, briefcases, duffles...Jack Spade has an extra 50% off sale items.  Their clothes are decent too, definitely not worth retail IMO but if anything in the sale is in your size it's not bad at all.

I think you will have to take a one week vacation if you should ever clean all of your footwear!

Rumor is you're kinda right. One suit, one tux, a sport jacket and a dinner jacket.

I need a suit for my birthday party in 2 weeks. Any thoughts on SuitSupply?

I was looking at something similar to this. I want to get something tailored to my body of course.

Adrian sized.



Lulz jk, a handful of sizes. A lot of the stuff there is either mannequin samples (of which I fit the build) or unclaimed garments/customer rejections. I'll snap some better pics later tonight and show off my new duds.

You are probably too late. Doubt you will be able to order and have it altered to your liking in time
