Dressing Better Vol 2.0

What kind of shoe trees are you guys using? Copping AE's like Adrian this week and need to keep them fresh. Would you guys suggest Jos A. Bank since they are $7.50 right now?
Hell yeah. You're not going to find wooden trees that cheap. Go for it.

Yep. I just get mine from Nordstrom Rack for $13-15 a pop. Anything under $10 is a great deal.

I use the JAB ones on all much shoes, pretty much. They are made by Woodier who is owned by Allen Edmonds.

Thanks guys! Just copped 4 pairs for $32 shipped :pimp:
 
Happy halloween, dudes

Favorite purchase of the year: Barbour Bedale Wax Cotton Jacket. I love this thing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an over coat for mild fall/winter conditions. Perfect for bay area Cali winter weather. 
 
guys have any leads on long wool overcoats for a good price ?
You shouldve got one in the summer. Plenty of steals were posted. Now that the winter is coming soon, you'll won't be seeing a great price on one until it warms up again and the leftover goes on sale.
 
My boy put me on to CT a while ago. He bought some shirts, and even a suit or two. He's been very happy with his purchases.

The ties he got too had me :wow:

Pretty well priced products.
Their marketing is on point. They send me catalogs regularly though I never bought an item from them. Doing the research.


This weekend. Happy the weather cooled down:

Dope fits. What kind of boots are those?

These are Dockers Alpha Khakis Slim Fit. I had them tailored to fit like this though. 





- Brovsko

I've got a pair of slim fit alpha khakis and they fit pretty close to those before tailoring too. The taper is just a little wider OTR but still pretty narrow IMO.
 
dockers alpha slim fit are more a straight leg fit IMO. You will need to taper them at least an inch to get the desired fit...assuming you are of slim to average build 140-175 and average height. 5'7-5'11.
If u wanna cop straight out the mall and ditch the tailor then hit Zara or cop some Topman from Nordstrom. Lower rise, slimmer through the whole leg and then nice taper all the way down.

just sheddin light. I copped some Alpha slims off someone's rec in here ..and I got some 31x30 with like an 8 inch leg opening lol..might be slim to some but it's not the modern aesthetic you see in magazines and whatnot

they might have updated their cut though..idk

Boots are Chippewa via J. Crew I got 2-3 years ago. The brands are hash tagged on the bottom BTW.

8" would probably be slim straight as you stated. At this point, I like all from 7-8" where as 1-2 years ago, I was really uptight about having an exact fit. I would've had got that 8" hemmed to 7.25" or something :lol:

Just picked these up at Macy's. I was going in for some dress socks, and happened to check out the sale section. They rang up as $12.99 a piece. :smokin
