Sperrys and Polos Fall 2011: Boots and Bourbon

Any of you brahs have the Rugby Vintage Chino University Pants in Navy? Just got them today...Not too sure about the shade of navy...

[QUOTE=LoneWolf2;771196533]That's what i'm buying them for. Got caught in the damn snow-pocalypse last january without any boots, and I was screwed. Never again will I be in that situation.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Tex24;771216263]The gf was hatin on these two pics when she saw them for how they wear their pants with the boots showing. She thinks the pants need to be covering the boot like how a cowboy boot is worn. How do yall wear your Bean Boots? Also I'm still stuck between 6 and 8 inch....especially with the lack of insulation on the top part of the boot and lack of flexibility as other have said[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=BeastMode101;771221383]not going to lie, want those 6 inch canvas bean boots so badly. Gonna save up and get a pair.

Is the 1st pic the 8 inch model? no homo[/QUOTE]

Does LL Bean ever have sales? I want a pair nao.

I wanted the 8in but it seems they don't have it anymore....

Question: What color is everyone picking? Navy, brown, or forest? I like the brown and forest

[QUOTE=BeastMode101;771792373]Where do you guys suppose the Kiel Patrick James guy gets his clothes? I'm def mirin his warddrobe.[/QUOTE]

Lots of it is vintage stuff passed down. Other stuff is Gant/LLBean/Lacoste/RL

[QUOTE=Krazyyyy;771792463]Any of you brahs have the Rugby Vintage Chino University Pants in Navy? Just got them today...Not too sure about the shade of navy...[/QUOTE]

Their navy is more blue/royal blue looking than navy IMO.

Gonna be 100% honest, I'm not mirin the bean boots at all. To each his own opinion, but I'd much prefer some thing like the LL Bean Katahdin:

or the Thorogoods I already have:

I'd go with Marshbrown or forest green (It flows more with my wardrobe). Saving up for a pair- having a hard time deciding which of the 2 to pick when I get the money to buy em :/

But in all honesty ALL 3 LOOK GREAT!

[QUOTE=ChrisG8TR;771791033]Which one is the "quintessential...indigo" according to:

[url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018OHQNG/ref=ox_ya_os_product[/url]

I just bought 35x33 "Black" from there (which appears to be the "indigo"?).

I already have a 501 STF of what appears to look like the "rigid" but its 34 x 33 and kinda tight from last year's shrinkage and my bulkage... hehe[/QUOTE]

The black looks similar to the rigid, which is the "quintissential dark blue pair" that every guy should have

I have the Black not in STF 501 but in 514, and I love them. So you didn't really go wrong per say with the 501 STF in black.

But yeah, dark indigo/rigid ftw. Of course its fine to branch out, just start with dark rigid or deep blue or whatever because it goes with almost anything

Got a question for stylin SnP brahs

Do you cuff (roll ) your pants up when they're too long? Got a pair of Duck Head chinos in khaki that I love but I'm afraid I might ruin them cause they're a little long (got them in the right size but since I haven't squatted in 4 months all my pants have gotten bigger).


Also, thinking about purchasing corduroy pants. Which color would you guys buy and where at? I have one pair of corduroy pants but I don't wear them at all (black levi slim fit cords), don't know what to pair em with :/

Just take the chinos to a tailor. $10max can get them hemmed to the perfect length.

For cords, I think the standard colors I would/do have are Brown, khaki/stone, navy, forest green (that fall green that is badass). OF course there are a lot more bold colors out there that you can get, but those are just the basic ones.

Wear them like you would regular chinos.

Preciate the help brah. Doc says I'll be growing another 2-3 inches (dead srs- unclosed growth plates) so I got my pants a little longer. Doc visit was 5 months ago btw.

Also, I'll be squatting and deadlifting in a couple of months after my knee injury subsides. Got pants a lil longer and bigger cause quads will explode when I lift heavy again.

But I'm considering going to the tailor to get my ocbds/button downs fixed, some are alittle too big.

Thx for the corduroy advice brah, will get a pair. feelin brown or forest green/fall green.

Would you still suggest that I roll/cuff up the pants?

In on this thread, lifetime sloppy dresser here. The older I get and closer I get to finishing my degree, the more I realize how important being well dressed actually is. I've always been big on first impressions, and have always dressed [i]decently[/i] because of that, but it's time to step it up a notch.

Used to be a fat phuck and am nearing aesthetics, so now I'm trying to build an aesthetic wardrobe (no homo) to further reflect the changes I've made in my life. Picked up a pair of sperry's a few weeks ago (goodnight sweet tennis shoes), going to get some nice denims and a new coat for winter tomorrow.

No questions as of now, going to read as many pages as I can handle and read some of the blogs linked above. Looking forward to meeting you brahs.

I would agree with getting some brown or forest green cords, my favorite colors.

for the pants, I'd definitely roll them up/cuff. If you roll, do it kinda sloppily so it doesn't look too pristine and will be casual.

I have the katahdin but I want a boot I can pull off at work, which is just chinos and a polo/ocbd/sweater

The katahdin seem like a jean only boot. I'm hoping to wear mine enough to look like this.

[/QUOTE]i expect better out of this character. tie is pretty short with a huge knot and the clips are not attached symmetrically to the center of the pants come on mr bass

Hey guys, about to order some land end chinos with the discount.

Only one issue... my quads have blown up the last few months from getting back into lifting and putting on a few pounds. Now most of my pants are becoming borderline ghey. I hate sizing up in the waist to accommodate my legs so can anyone tell me how well the LandsEnd chinos will fit if i get a 32x32 and have 25" thighs

Thanks

EDIT Also, are they true to measure? Apparently I have put on an inch or 2 in the waist as well, however, the chinos I had on yesterday are 33x32 and fit very comfortably. I just measured the waistband on those pants and it comes out to almost 35". I no many companies use vanity sizing or whatever but the LE sizing guide says nothing about this.

This is not the best quality, but what do you guys think of these boots?

interadasting.......

I've seriously purchased entirely too many shoes (no blasphemy) within the last year, but when you run across deals like this it's worth it to buy and give as a gift or something even.

hnnngg awh lawd, dat perfection.

I do have a quick question that I didn't seem to find in thread, although I'm sure it has been asked before (and I apologize for that, srs). I'm looking to get some Levi's later on this afternoon, and am unsure exactly what pair to go for. I very much dislike the super skinny look, however I do want a relatively slim straight cut jean. I figured I'd just go try a bunch of pairs on, but I'm trying to be as prepared as I can before I hit the store. Darker is better with denim, correct?

Darker is generally more desirable but anything above the medium range is good. Raw is preferred. Raw selvedge is the best.


In other news, anybody have any Incotex? I'm thinking about picking up a pair, they seem to be a staple over on SF:MC.

I can't decide whether I like distressed boots like this, or lustred polish boots. both are a great look!
