Dressing Better Vol 2.0

So apparently LL Bean boots are all sold out until the end of Feb-April, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying them for rain and snow. Reps are saying you have to order your boots in the summer time to get a pair in the winter?? :lol

I ordered mine Oct-Nov a few years ago. I guess demand for them is even way more now. They're not that great anyway. Maybe try those Sorel boots posted.

the sorel boots are sold out everywhere online too. They have them at the new flagship store but after looking at a video review of them they look way clunkier than I expected. Reviews of that and Cheyanne says they start leaking water after a few months too.


I ended up being like eff it and just placing a bean order. expected delivery February 24

I feel like I'm waiting on a pair of Nike ID's.

Fingers crossed for a mild winter in NY (weather report says it's gonna rain all next week

Todays sale was great... thanks A and Serg for the heads up and pushing me to stop by. The past few months I've been telling myself that I needed to invest in some good suits, I left with 2 suits (one being a 3 piece), 4 pants, 1 blazer, 4 ties, and 2 shoe trees for $225... :D
What wallets are yall rocking with?

just ordered this as an early christmas present for myself

http://www.tannergoods.com/collections/wallets/products/utility-bifold-2


I have a belt from tanner goods and the leather is just quality so im def. a returning customer.
Did you get the belt on sale? I always wanted one of their belts but they never have any sales, only free shipping.


Try Corter.

Each boot is handmade in New England.

People buy these boots in the spring/summer so that they can have them for fall/winter. The warehouse is probably backed up on orders...
Interesting article on back order http://www.luckymag.com/accessories/2014/12/cold-weather-boots
Apparently NPR just did a piece yesterday about the nonsensical sudden boom in LL Bean popularity.



And I just wanted them cuz my breds got trashed in the rain last weekend.
 
Which pair did you order Nako?
I tried to order a dark ash/brown pair of Thinsulate 8 inch boots but someone cart jacked me and they sold out before I could checkout. I ended up going with a tan pair of the Thinsulate 8 inch boot. They won't come until February though.

It doesn't get that cold in NYC usually so I don't think I need the Goretex, but last winter was horrible. It snowed or rained three times a week from November through the middle of March so I figure the Thinsulate can't hurt.

The uninsulated regular Bean boots are on back order until April...

I have the shearling 10inch. I'm thinking of downsizing to an 8 inch next time I trade them in. The 10 inch is just too much unless there's snow and ice out.

the shearling 10 inch is actually the only pair available right now. I saw someone in what looked like a short shearling but the top could have just been folded down
 
Yea you can fold it down. I don't because I don't want to get the shearling dirty.
 
Valentina In Pell makes a beautiful wallet.

The Italian leather is BUTTER. Highly recommend. 

Note: I have never had an issue with Sorel quality in 25 years.

Pretty sure none of their things go on sale at least from my own knowledge. Only seen free shipping like you stated.

Same wallet I've had for a decade, a gift from my woman. Think it is a Ken Cole, the embossing has worn off. Wallet is one item I really don't care much about, and they will be obsolete soon enough. Everything will be in our phones.
 
does anyone have the link of the clearance sale allen edmond products? i thought i saw it not too long ago but can't seem to find it. i think the shoes were B-grades or something?

thanks
 
In regards to the wallet question, I've had the same black leather TUMI wallet for 8 years now. Barely a scratch on it.
