new to dry cleaning.

paid 25.00 dollars to clean a reversible down jacket
& 5.50 to steam press two t-shirt.

is that normal rates or super high?

Whoa, man! Steam press two t shirts! You can just hang them in your bathroom as you showered. Prices seem a tad bit higher than average, but nothing too extreme.

Last time I tried to grab it, it was sold out. Got the last one this morning for $100.

Haha. Yeah, when it comes to dirt prices, they have very little left. I know the feeling.

You may want to just cop a pair from H&M or Zara or look on eBay too. Ross and other discounted stores are also a great option. It's been years since I've worn boat shoes, I think I got a pair of Sperrys for $50 or so in 2009 from Macys on sale.

Only thing I take to the dry cleaners are my coats and shirts and sweaters that require dry cleaning. My coats are usually about $20 to dry clean, so I suppose that's a fair price.

I'd check Burlington if there's one around you.

Scooped these from Burlington recently for about $50 a piece. About $200 saved on the AE's. Even though the laces are incorrect and there's a small imperfection in the stitching I couldn't pass.

Why not just go with some dope sandals? For the Cairbbean, I may even go with the gladiator joints.

Well it seems like a lot of nt'ers never show their feet. All those threads about refusing to wear sandals or they can't wear those athletic slide sandals without socks. When I went on vacation in Florida I wore flip flops whenever I could.

Wasn't it Cam who said to rock socks with sandals until you touch the water?

No lies though...in undergrad...white tee, fitted cap, Jordan shorts and crew socks with sandals were Elite socks weren't out then

Never been proud of my feet. Years of sports and neglect. Getting around to it tho

This is the kind of pairing I had in mind for the loafers. Chino shorts x button up or polo:

These are the only "sandals" I own. While they feel amazing they wouldn't look great with a button up or polo.

Any suggestions from any of the sandal wearing NT brethren?

It's hilarious when I look back at my old outfits.

What kind of loafers would y'all pair with this jacket?

Red bottom loafers.
