any idea how long this lasts...?

 

[muslimshady]

Not exactly sure but I'm gonna guess it'll just be for the rest of this week and next week. It was called a Spring Break sale. That $15 off jacket sale seemed to last for a while though so it could be longer.

Couple questions fellas:

Casual outfit with chucks, jeans, white button up, vest, tie optional. As a general rule, do I tuck or untuck shirt? Button or unbutton vest? Does it depend on the length of the shirt or colour of the jeans, or matter either way? My instinct says if I do no tie and perhaps lighter jeans, it's better to do untuck and unbutton, but if I do tie and darker jeans, I should tuck and button, but I dunno if other combos are acceptable. How long is too long of a shirt to leave untucked?

Second question, what mall retailers sell beeswax DB's, and also JP's? I live in Canada and I don't think we even have a store that has them here (for close to what you guys pay down there, but my family is going down this weekend to shop and said they can pick things up for me if I want. I know Macy's/Nordstrom has JP's and I heard earlier in this thread that Banana Republic carries the DB's down there. Any other places?

Thanks in advance!

I would tuck in the shirt.  As far as vest goes, I would definitely button it. The general rule is to button every button except for the last.  If the vest isn't too fitted (meaning that it wouldn't shift form if the first button isn't buttoned), I'd leave the first button unbuttoned as well.

The length of the shirt definitely plays a part on it.  Shorter cut dress shirt AKA sport shirt is meant to be worn untucked.  You can tuck it in, but the shirt tail will quickly come out of your pants because there's not enough excess material.

This is just my opinion, but lighter color jeans look really weird with a shirt tucked in.

I would personally never wear a vest over a dress shirt that's untucked, it's not even about being casual, but just looks sloppy to me.

Macy's also sell Clarks DB's.  Nordy also sells them.  Selected BR sells them, usually the bigger stores.

Note that DB is a style of shoe, there are other brands that make them.  Clarks is just popular since (I believe) they originated it.

black - the white provides no contrast.

What is the quality of Paul Smith in comparison to Lobb, Edward Green, C&J and the other higher end UK shoe makers? Do any one of them make the shoes for Paul Smith?

I wish I could tell you but I have no clue. The Henry shoe is from PSs mainline collection though so it is their top of the line shoes. Quality is pretty good but probably a notch below those shoe makers, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them made the shoes though. I think PS used to commission C&J to make their mainline collection but I can't recall.

It comes in black as well.

Question about blazers...

Looking for one to wear with jeans and loafers... single vent or dual?

 

[rfx45]

I don't think vents should matter as long as it has one.
If there was a choice though, I'd go with single vent.
More of a personal preference though more than anything.

 

[rsdplaya]

those shoes are sexy nii
