I've never seen someone wear a suit to graduation...usually it's just slacks a shirt and a tie since you wear a gown over it. And then afterwards you just lose the gown.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree w/ this. I've seen many people wear suits. majority of people wear slacks and a shirt, but many people wear a suit...hell some people wears shorts and flip flops

I personally wore slacks and a shirt. remember its YOUR day wear whats comfortable for you, and think of the weather in your area. saying that i knew a couple people who wore suits b/c their outfit was a gift from their parents and they saw it as a way to get a suit for their future careers.

That bag is amazing. Generaiya appreciates the "You would also love" part of the site. Excellent strategy.
Do you always respond in third person?

This is wrong. a test shirt is available in black or white only at that price... the shirts cost more than 19.99.

You never wear the same color sweater with same color boots. Its a unwritten code. Both items look nice, but would have been better if worn differently

Minimum should be slacks and shirt. I guess it depends on the weather too. At my graduation it was about 50 degrees in the morning and then by noon it was 90+. People wearing shorts and flip flops though SMH

I'm in high school and I'm always at the gym or playing ball so I don't have the money or time to dress nicely. Everyday it's a hoodie, t-shirt, sweat pants and some fly kicks. The shoes are the only "good" part of my outfit. I do dress up when I have to go to a formal event or an interview though.

Around Sophomore year in college.  It's a gradual process, don't worry about nice suits and shoes as high school student.  You'll have all your life to wear that stuff.  I feel like a lot of people look silly making jump straight from streetwear/basic clothes to wearing all this stuff.  It take's a while.

Pretty much OOS everywhere, I've been trying to find a pair myself.
Ya'll slept on these shoes, they came out well over a year ago.  You can still probably find them at some online stores or maybe try your local skate shops. 
Ya, i got these at a local skate shop. That was only a few months after they came out though.. Good luck
If anyone spots them at a local shop in a size 13, get at me please.

I've been looking to cop a Motorcycle jacket that would actually fit to my specifications.

I'm guessing the price is in the $600-$700 range?

What other pieces is ToJ dropping for the Spring?

Price of the 2011 DRs are around $710 shipped iirc.
There seems to be a 2011 bomber and moto coming out, new pics will probably surface friday.
I'm waiting to see those before ordering, hoping for a collared moto.
