Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[DJ Shift]

I was going to opt for the medium (my true size) but there was no way I was going to fit anything under other than a tee or a thin short sleeve button up. It also didn't feel very comfortable at all being buttoned, the medium that is.

JOHN COPPIDGE and they are reversible.

If $300 is too much, then ToJ/John is out of the question.

I believe this was the Medium I tried on, sorry for the flash.

It looks like the pattern wasn't made for you if you can't comfortable button a medium, bro.

The arms are still way too baggy. The shoulders slouch over, looking like you can easily size 2 sizes down. It's a weird way of baggy too, not a "I sized it big on purpose" baggy. I would return it until you can get a better fitting one.

I've decided to go with the Desert Boots. I'll get the Weejuns in the Spring when the weather calls for them

Smart move on the beeswax. They will be your go to shoe. Chinos, jean, etc they look good.

I'll agree for the 10th time. I wore them with everything and anything.

If $300$400 is too much, then ToJ/John is out of the question.

Sorry didnt know he posted a price range.

Or he could try. http://unisnewyork.com/

I'm liking this one http://unisnewyork.com/products/copy-of-unis-varsity-jacket-black-black.

Dont think TOJ does this color way.

what kind of varsity is it bro....i mean it honestly doesn't look that bad.

 

[typerpinoy]

Nah it actualy looks pretty bad. Even the medium doesn't look like it fits right.

Man you sleep one day on this thread and all hell breaks loose and 6 pages get written! haha

As far as those red pants, the red ones at GAP aren't so dark. peep it below. I might still cop them but I might go with the blue. Still not sure about them

Also saw this on the GAP site in case y'all didn't know about it!

 

[jrthumper85]

Been on a heavy sweatpants hype lately...and with Yesterday being Sunday aka my lazy-go-do errands day, I rocked with this:

CONGRATS on the Roshe's! That is the only pair I don't have...

 

[jrthumper85]

You and me both! I have 4 pairs already. I want them all. Best fitting pants off the rack that I have ever found.

I'm still looking for a solid pair of khakis. Please school me on this great find.

Hey man, they're the Dockers Alpha khakis. I think someone posted a link where you can get a pair from sears for $35 but sizes were pretty limited. The 40% coupon on the dockers site is dead for now but you can still scoop a pair in almost every colorway from Amazon for $45 shipped with Prime. Can't recommend these pants enough!

 Dudes straight out of the Twilight premiere.

Especially on that last pic

I am getting beeswax colored Desert Boots for Xmas.......

any tips on caring for them before wearing? Do you treat the leather or anything, or just wear them straight out of the box?

thanks

Sorry, that was actually the Large. I can't remember which picture on my phone is the medium with that damn flash. The Medium fit a lot better, I might go back for that.

wouldn't hurt to mink oil them before wearing. i bought some from my local grocery store for about $5 bucks (Kiwi is the brand) and all i did was heat the leather up with a blow dryer, spread evenly with old tshirt, then brush away with horsehair brush (also got the Kiwi brand brush from grocery store for $5). it'll help keep the shoes waterproofed and will protect the leather from drying out.

I don't know about anyone else, but I personally like to beat the hell out of my beeswax DB's. I'm talking wearing them in the rain, not avoiding puddles, etc. I just happen to like how they look when they're beat up and aged. That my preference though.
