Dressing Better Vol 2.0

How often do you guys switch out socks? I do it yearly, usually get 10-12 pairs around this time and rock them for a year. They don't get worn out or anything, but colors starting to fade a bit by then.
 
Got jcrew factory package in, ordered Thompson sportcoat in one size up (42R), shoulders fit a little off, exchanged for true size (40R), fits great. The tie clip from JCF is a joke tho, might as well use a paper clip...

Package from Charles tyrwhitt also came in, very happy with fit and quality (esp for $40/shirt). On par if not better than BB IMO. The CT extra slim fit is certainly a tighter cut overall than BB ESF, especially with higher arm holes, narrow sleeve, and tapered waist. Strongly recommend to those that are medium/athletic builds. Also got a CT handwoven tie, it's just Ok, material is a bit thick, but nice color/texture (it was freebie from a promo so can't complain, but wouldn't spend money on one)

Whenever they get holes at the heel
colors dont fade for mine. There's the inital slight fade from the first wash but after that, it stays pretty much the same

Speaking of socks, uniqlo upped their prices a bit :{
There used to be like 4 for $10 i think, now it's 3 for $10

I'm constantly buying sock and underwear. A habit I got from my dad. I just phase pairs out as they lose their shape. Some low quality ones ill toss after one wash never to buy that brand again. I have others that I've had for a couple years and still going strong.

How long do you wear them for holes to form?

You can get great deals on J. Crew and BR socks which are decent quality when on sale. The only brand I will never buy again is Happy Sock. Premature fading and wear to the max.
 
The fit of the 511s is pretty good now, awhile back they were too skinny. Then again, maybe my tastes changed and it's just a mental thing.

Walked past a GAP today and decided to see what they had. They're shawl collar cardigans are actually really nice, much better than I expected. Would have picked one up but they didn't have a large. They've definitely stepped it up the past few years. Though every time I'm in there, "Be better than the GAP" comes to mind :lolFlyknit, those black CPs are really nice man :hat


I used to mess with Gap OD....and I still get some stuff from there every once in a blue but that line stays with me :lol
 
Any recommendations on a good, canvas messenger bag? I'm not looking to spend more than $50-75. I'm leaning towards the Abingdon from J. Crew, but for $100 was higher than I wanted to spend.

Man, I constantly lose socks, so I end up buying new ones sometimes weekly. Such a terrible habit!
 
I'm wearing something similar. Stuck in a study room preparing for an exam. Shawl cardigan gang :hat

When did you order from JCF? I placed an order on the 14th for two sweaters and it hasn't even shipped yet :{

Order 10/11 shipped 10/14 arrived 10/16 (might gain a day or two for shipment since I'm not far from nearest distribution center)

Yeah they're still guaranteeing this 4-7 business day thing but I don't see it happening as 7 business days would fall on Wednesday.'
 
thanks for the reply. ya, i like both yours and wis'. i've been sleeping on shawl collar cardigan's.
 
How do you see the fit??

624402


Zara jeans and shoes and thrift store jacket (30 pesos, like 2 dollars), didn't made any alterations to the jacket, has some prior lazy adjustments but I feel it fits extremely well. It also helps I lost 10lb since that photo...

jacket fit is great . the notch on the lapel is lower than current jacket styles. Im guessing the jacket is years old. Fits well nonetheless
 
It's from h and m, my dude. Was only $20. wis has the more expensive version from j.crew, but I think his was from a couple of seasons ago!


Class today, so no work! Cold weather is coming, thankfully!


I'm about to go home and see if mine is still there :lol I got this one from 3 or 4 years ago. It's a cotton piece so great for spring weather.
