Dressing better

[sn00pee]

Let me tell you, my UNIQLO chinos were the best pair of pants I had, excellent fit, wore them so much, the creases started to set in like raw denim. Theystarted to get a little raggedy so i tried to clean em up but failed and had to part with them. Bought a different pair but it was a different style, and thefit was completely horrible. i was so disappointed.

I don't know what kind these are but they fit great. I picked up a pair in grey and blue. If they were tapered a tiny bit more, they would beperfect but I can work with these.

If SB's are still only sold in skate shops then your local independent skate shop with a Nike SB account. I think there is a shop locator on the Nike SB website. It's been a loooooonnngg time since I bought a pair of SB's but these might change that.

You can try by going to that nike sportswear store that's on mercer street in lower manhattan

Best bet would be online though.

Macys is saying "bootcut, slim fit" . Too bad no Canadian stores carry Silver Tabs so I can try them on...oh well. I dont know if I should buy these (just copped 501s and 527s with their 25% off + free ship code).

RFX, are there any BLACK RIGID 514s? Cant seem to find any.

I'd steer clear of anything that says bootcut. I don't know of any situation where bootcut jeans look good.

As far as black rigid 514's... what do you mean by rigid? There are no raw denim 514's other than the Imprints.

- to each his own about boot cut jeans. Im personally disgusted by males who wear SKINNY jeans but whatever floats on their boat. I stay withstraight, boot cut and rarely slim since I have athletic legs.

- rigids aren't really raw, a step lower than that in terms of texture , I cant really explain it but cultpop explains it here:

http://www.styleforum.net...e/index.php/t-12968.html

RFX, try asking for one when you're out at the mall. I have an Iconic Rigid 501 right now which you can probably spot @ regular Levis retailers

It's not even about skinny or not skinny. Boot cut jeans are, for the most part, just straight leg jeans with flares. You're right aboutto each his own but in my opinion, boot cut jeans look terrible with any kind of footwear. I don't know of a single situation where an outfit would nothave looked better had the person worn straight or slim jeans instead.

Info?

Its G by guess $79.50

Peacoat looks decent but if it were actually cut like that it would be good but chances are it is very boxy.

Also, Urban Outfitters 20% off discount with the code: GIFTED.

The APC coat fits great everywhere except the shoulders and it's not like I have very broad shoulders. I don't like the GAP shirt. It didn't occur to me until recently just how difficult it is to find a seemingly simple solid colored slim fit shirt. For example, this GAP shirt fits great as far as sleeves and the body goes. It's surprisingly fitted for such a cheap shirt. What I can't deal with though is the collar. It doesn't hold it's shape after a single wash. I really need to find a brand that makes good solid colored slim fitting shirts. The UNIQLO chinos fit great after being hemmed.

I don't have a tripod anymore

Nice fit

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Can anyone direct me to a Clark Desert Boot style shoe but with a flat bottom rather than a raised heel?

BN: I've been looking at that color of DB's. Do you think they work/have you worn them with dark denim, slim/straight fit? Also, how resistant/durableare these? If I sprayed them with something to protect them from the snow/sleet, would they hold up as a winter boot? Thanks!

 

[young halo]

anybody rock ascot ties?

 

[wj4]

Good outfit, Boy Noize. How does it feel to have short hair now?

I'm in the process of growing mine out and it's taking forever.

For those who wants Clarks DB's for less than retail....Banana Republic is having a 40% off 1 full price item on the 14th. You can go in and ask forseveral coupons. The bigger BR stores sell Clarks DB's. There you go.

I have worn them with dark denim both skinny and straight. I think they work. The main thing with the DB's, and for boots in general IMO, isyou don't want your pants to cover too much of it. So with my regular trousers, I have them hemmed to a point where it just hangs over the shoes. Forjeans, I usually cuff them with boots. These DB's are pretty versatile. I wear them with a lot and they're pretty comfortable too. As for howresistant/durable they are... I'm not too sure. I've never worn them in anything but clear weather. I'm sure they make something to protect suedefrom water but I also heard from others in this thread that DB's aren't a good option for the rain since the crepe sole offers no traction. They areprobably not a good winter boot. If you wanted a winter boot for a place where there is actual rain or snow, I'd probably say go look for something withrubber bottom instead.

Short hair is weird. It's the first time in a long time I've gotten it cut this short. It just had to drop to 35-40 degrees too rightafter I got it cut

 

[omgitswes]

Really discouraged to post pics until I get an actual camera. but yeah I have an interview today

 

[rfx45]

What is the interview for? Hoody, chino and DB's is a bit too casual.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Anyone wear, or heard of, Marc (New York)? Good brand?

Also, can you alter a trench coat? I'm thinking sure, you can probably alter most articles of clothing to get them slimmer/smaller.

 

[omgitswes]

it was for a Co op position, and I've worked there before and saw how everyone else dressed so i'm like whatev.
i took the hoody off once I sat down though so it was just a shirt and tie really

irregardless of what type of job it was, you sure don't think much of your self worth by that outfit.

 

[omgitswes]

what's wrong with a shirt, tie, and cords?
only wore the hoody cause its cold.

Marc NY is ok, great outerwear usually, nothing slim though but usually goes on sale for deep discounts.
And yes, depending on the tailors capabilities, almost anything could be altered but of course with some limitations. Like a 42L suit can't be altered tofit like a 38R.
