Sperrys and Polos Fall 2011: Boots and Bourbon

[Kingbuddy]

I have a heavy peacoat, but I'm looking for a light jacket in the 50 to 100 dollar range. It is getting cold down here in the south.

Where the Hell are you at that it is getting cold.... its 90's All week here in North Carolina... I wont see Fall/Winter clothes til Mid October

[captain_marvel]

Someone give me some sunglasses suggestions that are S&P but not mainstream yet for reps. I like and have ray bans but they are so mainstream now they have lost their appeal.

Anyone have any suggestions especially ones that fit a little bigger for my big head?

Saw your thread, feel bad for the mindless sheep in that thread

I stick by Persol. Classy and well-known but not yet as mainstream as RBs that the common man has brand-whored it all out (hope they never get that popular). Bond and McQueen wore Persols and that's all I need. Others I recommend looking into are Moscot and American Optical or Randolph.

The frat brahs are gonna mention Costa del Mar but they're too sporty imo to be worn for all occasions.

Just picked up another pair of sperry's for $51



I get 40% discounts from Urban Outfitters, may start ordering for some of you loyal brahs.

trolling of students was successful. Wore a brown suede jacket to cover button down, but a couple were supposedly suspicious. What I did was put my stuff at the front, wrote some instructions on the board, left the room before they got there, came back and sat with students, had ipod in, played with phone, chatted w/ some of them etc. Was getting info that students heard about me and then I was saying things like "I think this prof will be easy," or criticizing my own sloppy handwriting. After class completed the exercise i told the students i was chatting with that "its time to go to work," walked up front and listened to all the surprised noises haha

anyways, got my BB order in, not that happy with the way this shirt looks: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...&sectionsize=#

other shirt i got: http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...&sectionsize=# decent for next summer i suppose?

the lapels or w/e they're called for the shirt are much larger than in the picture, looks kind of strange. wish there were more selections when i ordered, would have opted for a gingham or something

[LatvianLifter]

Can't find these Clarke dessert trek aka Bank robbers anywhere

[taylorgb34life]

bought my first pair of clarks, beeswax desert boots

Lost my pair of dark grey chinos in the move from my summer apt to my university apt, alas they were getting too slim in the thighs and ass anyways.

I can't find much for replacements, thinking either Lands End, BR or J Crew factory as I don't have the patience to wait for a pair of RLs to come up on ebay and Brooks doesn't offer a grey or olive colour way (which I will also pick up if I go through LE).

Any comparisons between the above quality wise? Which fit should I go for in LE? Is the tailored fit slimmer than a BB Clark fit?

Oh just grabbed this for 35 including shipping, hopefully its good and waterproof my other light rain coat is no longer so my best option lately has been my RL Bi-swing.

I have lands end and j crew factory chinos. Love them both even more than my RL chinos. Fit is amazing on the LE tailored fit and they let you have them hemmed at any length you want. That's a big plus. My j crew factory ones are pretty comfy though. Can't really go wrong with either. I think lands end changed their designs though so I don't know which one is closest to the tailored legacy chino that I have. I do know that I need to pick up a couple more pairs though.

So tailored fit is not "on dat dere ****gy time" milano-ish skinny fit? Its ok for people that squat?

[Ben844]

just ordered some sperry oxford desert boots. you mirin?

[phola]

Anyone know where I can pickup a CHEAP pair of nantucket reds? Honestly, don't care about brand. Just something thats a strait leg, and cheap. I don't want to be spending $70+.

I have both the tailored fit LE chinos and the BB chinos in Clark. Comparing both in the same size, The Clark is just a hair slimmer in thighs. But they are pretty close to same fit. As was mentioned above the LE tailored are nice b/c you can pick whatever inseam you want.

Less expensive version of LLBean. Same kind of concept, the company is also from Maine, as LLB is.

no, no, no.

I happen to like pleat fronts...

Wearing my favorite pants today:




They're actually a pastel blue color, not sure why they look so dark there. I love the silk tie-looking thing inside the back pockets, and they're button fly.

I purchased LE canvas slim fit chinos and I could barely fit my thighs in them. Mylegs only measure just under 24'' and ordered a 33x32 for reference )even sized up waist to have more leg room).

LE and LE canvas may have different fits

Amazing shoe, I have them in beeswax leather. Wore em all summer tho, looking for a heavier boot for the fall/winter with a better tread.

I'm 135 pounds and can just squeeze into Milano's so, squat or not you have to have really skinny legs

I love my lands end reds though they are slightly slim round the quads
