Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Anyone know the name of these shoes?

Brooks Brothers is having a pretty nice clearance sale. Got 3 shirts for around 150, looks like it added corporate membership discount as well

Also heard good things about Lands End "tailored fit" trousers, took advantage of their 20% off sale and got a pair for 39.99. Pretty sure I'm going to have to do additional alterations but not a bad price if the quality is okay.

Lands end tailored fit shirts are great too IMO. Grandma got me 2 for Christmas and I think they'd be a solid option on a little discount around $45.
 
Ludlow shirts are garbage, man. I bought one because I had a $50 gift card, one of the worst J. Crew purchases ever. Even more laughable at the $98 retail price. Most of my dress shirts are from mytailor.com, their 2 ply is around $80-100, and the Thomas Mason is about $120...all are way superior to the J. Crew, and those are made to measure. You can tell them what kind of collar you want, where you want the shirt to curve so it hits your waist right, etc.

moderntailor is the cheaper choice. A lot of folks use them, I'm just not one of them.

The fit is easy, spend $15-20 at a tailor and they can slim down the sides and arms. When I was in undergrad when J. Crew and BR's slim fit were still baggy, I had them all taken in. As long as the sleeve length and neck fit you nicely, you can tailor the sides and be good.


I personally wouldn't go lower than AE on footwear. Either save up or wait for a sale.

I use modern tailor and so does Adrian. Nice thing about them is their is always a way to pay under the asking price through a code or they are running some promotion. Mostly all are 2-ply but no big name brands. Prices can range from $30-60.

it's just a peacoat :lol:
Aside from the leather on the collar, there's nothing that serious

Sidenote, saw the billy reid bond peacoat in the wild the other day for the first time and is it just me or is it pretty short? Dude was like 6 ft max and it barely covered half his ***
That probably explains it. Peacoat isn't supposed to fit like a top coat or overcoat. It should cover your rear and that's about it. If he's 6', then he's above average in height. I'm sure Billy Reid stuff is cropped too. Never had their stuff, extremely over priced to me.

I have the bond coat and I'm 6'0" tall. I can't wear it over a suit since it doesn't go past the length of a suit jacket.

Perfect for casual wear though.
 
Looks a lot like J. Crew x Red Wing bluchers from several years ago. Joints were super uncomfortable, reason why I sold them.

Yes I saw these while trying to search for it but I'm not feeling that toebox.

I might have to email Nudie themselves if nobody knows :lol:
 
moral reasons sure, financial I'd just save up for a nice real leather.


Its just really cheap an I like the look of it. I didn't purchase.

Def wasn't gonna be a main jacket or anything. Its not a fake biker jacket. Like a faux leather looking down jacket.

I'll prob pass anyways.

How tight do you wear your pants, b? I'm a size 32 and you're a size 30. You can see the wallet imprint as shown already. I can't fathom my pants be any tighter. I can't do jeggings.

My black power stretch joints are 31. I've posted in here before the fit on me. Quite preferable but its all depending on how the wearer feels I suppose.

My waxed joints are OD tight though :lol:
