Sperrys and Polos Fall 2011: Boots and Bourbon

[Reggie3]

How much does taking a pants waist in cost? Got in during the LEC sale for White Jeans but they only had 34/30, need 33/30

Is it a fairly easy process for a tailor?


Just received my Lands End Canvas Chinos

Awesome material and cut, only problem is im a manlet and I need to take the inseam down an inch or so

Mirin dat hair Silis.

It costs 10-15 dollars, it's pretty simple

Thought the same thing and that boutique carries Burberry, but I can't find it on their website. I guess it's discontinued for fall or something.

This combo too much with Navy suit? All I have are loafers and I want a pair of lace-ups (wingtips or oxfords). Yes big interview. Yes first "real" suit. Yes nervous. Thanks style brahs

Congratulations brah on the interview. Do you know what they like to see there in terms of what to wear? Try mimicking their style as much as possible.

For what it is worth, those shoes are nice I own a pair of those in merlot myself, but if this is a business casual interview it might be a bit much as Wingtips are very formal. Aside from that, navy would look solid with those shoes in that color. Just make sure the rest of the get up is on par and everything has a good fit.

I love my Mcallisters so much. I think it'd look fine with the brown belt

Thanks man! I have no idea to be honest, the interview is with a large oil & gas company at their Houston main office, so I am thinking I will be alright going fairly formal.

are you guys aware of how awkward you look? some of you look great but most of you just look like insecure try hards

no hate, just an outside perspective

Maybe this is just me but I consider the more brogue-ing a shoe has the more casual it is, hence black whole cuts are best with tuxedos. I wouldn't go for anything with more brouging than the weybridge for pairing with suits, I don't really think that is any sort of rule but I just think a Park Avenue or Fifth Avenue from AE would make a better shoe to pair with suits while the Mcallisters would go better with more causal blazer or sportcoat looks.

I'm sorry that you live a lifestyle where you do not have access to a social setting where wearing something nicer than v-neck tees and jeans is expected.


In other news... have been browsing around on style forum, they seem to have the general consensus that AE and Alden are garbage (they all talk about British brands that go for about 1000 bucks a pop)... BRB having 8 pairs of dress shoes and not being able to afford 8000 dollars worth of shoes while in university, sorry for partying? Other than the bespoke stuff I really have a hard time imagining how those 1000 dollar shoes can be 750 dollars better than a pair of AEs, however from what I read, I think I will stay away from Alden. Apparently their quality is going down hill and they figure it is because they are in such high demand.

It's too bad I have been mulling over these for a while

I think his post is mostly pointed at DEVX, Vincent, and Reggie. No hate but they're not middle of the spectrum dressers.

Tips:
tucking a t-shirt or polo into jeans makes you look like an aging dork
shorts above your knee and shorts or pants above your waist = ****gy time
your belt must always match your shoes

a pic from Khaki Wednesday

What size is the BB polo? It looks like the sleeves are longer than my two slim fit mediums. On me, they feel a tad tight...do you know if they shrink?

Oh, and what pants can go with the teal heather I have (pictured right):

Shorts are supposed to stop right above the knee. Other than that i can agree

Grey, khaki, maybe olive, dark jeans. That kind of blue can really be worn with anything...

Lol'd especially at the first one.

Devx, I'd love a pair of bespoke shoes that are from England. There was one brand, (black something, I can't remember), however, I also can't justify spending 1000 on a pair of shoes yet. I love Allen Edmonds and will continue to buy them because they are made in the USA

[Reggie3]

LOL'D at neg comment I got "You keep counts on how much you wear certain cloths? you s and p's are sadder kunts then i thought"

being tall sucks too because no long sleeve shirts/sweaters/hoodies are ever long enough without being too wide. best fit I've yet found was a $20 old navy medium tall hoodie which actually fits like a boss.

It's a regular fit Medium. None of mine have shrunk, but I get all my stuff dry-cleaned. I'm sure they would if I washed them myself.

I like the longer sleeves, any shorter/tighter (like Southern Tide) they ride up my bicep and I have to constantly pull them down, like this:


(the shirt isn't as tight as it looks in the pic, its just the angle & pose)
