They also sell shearling insoles that are great for putting in boots to make them warmer. I put them in my pair.

Hey guys, quick question. With the current promo going on plus a 10% discount code (CSS2946), I can purchase these for $491.05 after tax. Good deal or should I hold out?

For 500 they're are better options out there. I personally like Del Toro velvet slippers better, more color selection and cheaper.

congrats Carlin and happy holidays.
wj4, I'll be interested in the giveaway as well after hearing the details.
Before I get started...sneakerpimp: great stuff, man.
There are a lot of issues that need to be ironed out. Like Rob said, if you can afford to buy Jordans and such, then this is not for you because you can afford to go to at least H&M and make yourself look presentable. If you are a struggling student who's in college in order to pave way for a better future and absolutely has no means to get some decent clothes, then hopefully the members can help out. It is doubtful if you will get a Zegna suit with John Lobb shoes though or anything you would see in GQ. The point is to be able to get enough items to make you look presentable. Some NTers may have items hidden in the back of their closet that they will not mind donating to a greater cause. I do this on a regular basis so my closet stays lean, meaning everything is wearable. Ex: I don't have any shirts that I can't fully button or with sleeves too long, they get donated to individuals who fit that particular physique. This part hits home for me because I didn't have much growing up as a kid in the U.S.
As evident from previous giveaways, it is extremely difficult to weed out the needies from those who just want to take. I'm not sure how this will be done, if this program is adopted. I'm also not sure how many regulars still post, so I'm not sure how viable this program would be.
It is greatly appreciated that Carlin made that offer. I didn't even have a suit until I started my first professional job. I didn't even have Red Wings and such for that matter. Shoes over $200 were really expensive for me as an undergrad. For my interviews, I pieced outfits together...cardigan, chinos, Clarks desert boots, random shirt, etc. just to make it work. I truly believe that you don't need to look GQ sharp for an interview for most fields. As long as you look presentable, that is good enough. What you know and how you carry yourself will determine if you get the job. That would be the goal here...if you have absolutely nothing you can wear to interviews, then hopefully some folks here will be able to help you out and get the ball rolling.
I personally find that it is as satisfying to give as it is to receive. I've always mentioned that a great portion of this thread extends beyond clothing, and more about spreading positivity and be able to help each other in whatever ways we can.
Again, it is just a train of thought at this point with nothing structured.

The struggle is real as a undergrad or a grad student.
Good thing I get to wear scrubs everyday, but that's a downside to, especially when I dress up and am the only person in the building with business casual clothes on. Oh well, got to put some of the clothes to use.
Great idea though.

This is a great idea. I also suggest looking into organizations that do that. CareerGear for one is a great one. They take donated suits and give it to the less fortunate so that they have something to wear. I've donated about 4 suits to them in the past.

Thanks guys..The original question was if I should have went with black velvet blazer or some reg blk polyester blazer off zara..Another question I have is on the fit of those Zara blazers..Do they tend to have a slim fit..I'm 5'8 145 and I will be making the purchase online. Dont really visit this thread often but you guys seem pretty helpful.

i always thought topshop is the womans side and topman is the mens part. i bought a purple cardigan from them in like 07..back when it was a lot harder to find that kinda stuff. i think shipping was expensive as they hadnt opened up the US counterpart websites and stores.

Nordstrom has topman now, good place to try stuff out with free shipping and returns.
People were talking about down vests with blazers/suits before? Good example I saw while browsing on tumblr.

I also got my BS from there.
If you get into a Ph. D program, I'm burning both my master's and giving up on the education system in the U.S.
