Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[pinoy732]

Unless you're walking through mud all the time, those soles would last a while. Of course they would be better if they were dark colored soles.

I'm not quite sure why so many people talk about soles wearing out being that most of us probably haven't wore out a sole on a pair of shoes since elementary or middle school.

I've worn out soles on two pairs of my Allen Edmonds after 3 years of wear. Plan on resoling soon.

At the cost and time it would take to resole them you could just buy another pear

That's for the new republics. Dropping bread on another CP or BV boot ain't as casual of a task.

Yep. I can keep beating them up and go through 5 pairs before coming close to the price of one pair of the CP version.

Sneaker P What jeans are those if you don't mind me asking?

Some old Acne Max that I never got altered.

I think with the crepe soles it has more to do with the color turning nasty after heavy use.

White Vibram soles do much of the same yet it doesn't keep me from rocking. Some things you just gotta accept if you plan on getting a good wear out of your clothes and shoes.

I got shoes with white vibrant and they don't look as dirty as crepe soles plus you are able to clean the dirt off of vibrams. If they made the Chelsea's with darker colored crepe soles then some may consider, but as it stands. It's a dub.

I thought crepe only comes in one color since it's natural rubber. I've seen it painted, but that's it.

Quick question,if an event dress code is semi formal,can I get away without wearing the suit jacket,just shirt and tie?

 

[slighted]

^ Semi-formal to me is suit without the tie.

 

[thenewjs23]

Just got ship confirmation from New Republic!

I'd do suite, no tie. No suit jacket just seems unfinished.

 

[QU!K]

You could also do mix up your jacket/pant combos

Sport jacket and some slacks

Anyone start thinking about their New Years fit yet

Anyone start thinking about their New Years fit yet

I plan on keeping it simple with a black blazer, black shirt, black pants, and some black SLP boots (i haven't decided which ones yet).

I am going to mirror this fit. 

Last year I wore a suit and decided I wanted to be a lot more comfortable this year. 

 

[pinoy732]

Ditch the shirt and go for black tee for that extra comfort.

+1 if you got a jersey blazer already.

Never said it was good. But if you a stickler for cheap, options limited.

Steve Madden Brodey's, Coens or Clints and then you have Foundation Footwear Pastors.

Like someone else mentioned, Asos and Topman. There might be others but pickings are slim if you're in bargain territory.

My bad , I was adding that as FYI for everyone.
