No problem.

The only con about the jacket is the price, i dont think it deserves the 90$ price tag, but overall a good spring jacket.

My NYE fit:

I need to get a full length mirror asap.

I'll try and get some pics up later if I have time.

^^ Check your local Macys. I went to the 34th St Herald Square and they had great sales, especially if you use or open your Macys card. They had Tommy Hilfiger corduroys in black,grey,navy,khaki and brown for $20. All sizes below 36 waist were available. They also had slim chinos such as the ones pictured below.

Well I bought 2 pairs of Red Wings Gentlemans Travelelers for the days I dress up, and since karmaloop had a good sale (40% off + Free Shipping) I decided to get these Palladiums so I won't wear out the Red Wings. Not bad if you ask me.

For $49 shipped.

Hopefully I can get my hands on some Indy Aldens.But' with all these sales going on, I doubt I can afford them

Btw, Ksteezy or other who might know, does J.Crew give the 15% to Alden x J.Crew boots?

No, J.Crew does not usually allow discounts of any kind on any third-party items.

How bad are Invicta watches that Amazon sells them for so cheap? I need an everday beater watch and the price point seems right in line for that.

do the shoes look too big in comparison to the jeans (damn big feet)? i know my jeans are a bit tight, its hard finding the right leg openings and its too close to nye to find a new pair.
opinions?

Looks like the perfect fit to me. I wish I could pull this look but skinny jeans aren't in the cards for me. Legs too big

nonetheless.

Can someone please help me out? I have the Ralph Lauren Academy Pea coat and the inside pockets are all sewed in shut. Am I supposed to leave them that way, or can I un-sew them and use them to put my stuff inside. It's really a pain to carry my gloves and iPod with me all the time. The outer pockets and breast pocket is sewed shut too, but I think if I un-sew them the jacket will lose it's shape everytime I put my hands in.

To anyone interested, Nordstrom has the cream Clarks DB for $70. They look so smooth in person.

[big mike 13]

^cut it and use it. most pea coats and blazers and such come that way

Shoes and Jeans look great, you might want to flip the jeans up @ the hem to eliminate toooo much stacking but thats personal preference. Great choice for your first shoes

I think it all depends on what else your rocking with the purple gingham shirt but I love rocking my Navy knitted tie with mine, a black knitted tie would work also. What color shoes are you rocking ??

 

[fuzynguyen]

What is everyone wearing for NYE? I'm trying to decide whether to wear dress shoes with jeans or not.

GAP cords ftw ! sorry for the big pic

I have a question for you guys.

Finally bought my first pair of boat shoes (trying to finally branch out of just wearing Jordans)

My question is are boat shoes always supposed to be rocked without socks? Input would be appreciated.

Later Spring/Summer months, w/o socks is good.  Winter months, throw on some socks.

Thanks again! I got the sweater from J Crew. Anyone have a hook up at j crew? I want this woven really bad the price is pretty steep

Loafers (I guess depending on the look of them) and jeans is fine imo. I wear that combo religiously.

I wish I knew what I was doing for NYE, let alone what I'm wearing

.

 

[nothingtol0se]

so to get the 15% off at jcrew...all you gotta do is flash them a student ID card???

if so, damn, i've been missing out

Journeys sell some super low cut socks incase youre uncomfortable not wearing socks.
