Dressing Better Vol 2.0

these days with most of us wearing slim pants, how do you guys deal with bulges in the pockets. keys, cell phone wallet. mainly it's the keys and i try to keep it to a minimum, but it still leaves somewhat of a bulge. anyone have any clever ideas or accessories they use to share ?

Most people have their key chain/ring hang out on the side by a mountain clip. If you like to go loud, people have micro details to go along with it such as a nike SB or a Lego man keychain.

If anything, I would suggest a leather lanyard. Check out Tanner Goods. You'd still put your keys in your pocket but the lanyard would make it easy for you to pull out instead of digging deep into a tight pocket (?).

The cell phone imprint left in your jeans and the lanyard a bit showing add subtle details to your belt-crotch area IMO. Which isn't a bad thing for girls to notice and security wise.

I made one of these out of paracord, costs me absolutely nothing. Got the paracord for free from one of these outdoor shops and had the clip and keyring just laying around the house.
Looks like the one on the bottom.

Anything under $400?

You have a lot of choices under $400. A lot of Allend Edmond models are under that price. You can also look at the Nordstrom sales posted up by Hafiz. You can also contact Shoemart to get on their Alden 2nd quality list. I bought a pair for $300 and was happy with the quality.

I too keep a carabiner for my keys, slim wallet with just license, bank card, visa. Phone in breast pocket if I have one

I haven't used a wallet since like 2000. I keep my essentials in my left pocket and my keys (2 keys and door unlocker) cell in the back left.

You're grandma sound like she doesn't knows what she is talking about (no disrespect).
This is why I can't deal with a lot of females in this place, they got that "I'm gonna get you before you get me vibe".
Not good at all, and the only dudes who except that type of treatment are the ones who just want Yambs (can't believe i'm using such a juvenile word

) or low class dudes and if that's all you hang around then that will be your perception of all men.

No disrespect taken.

However, when someone lives well into their nineties, as she is ninety six, it behooves me to pay attention to what she has experienced. Most superstitions do have some cred to them, as they are rooted in survival. However most are unjustified, but with the issue of women and their wiles, they had to do whatever they had to do, in order to survive in a world that didn't, and in some instances still do not, see them as equal.

Understanding this allows you to understand women a bit better, because they live in a constant state of subtle paranoia. 

I learned that from my Grandma as well, so perhaps that may help you in your struggle with the opposite sex.

BTW, we need some chicks on this thread to give a better opinion on what's sharp on dudes....

Nice strands. A fan of the walnut + light grey. For some reason the older gents at my office insist the color is "chili."

Your clothes look well put together but I'm not digging your jr. Mark Zuckerburg fro.

Get a low cut fade and I'll give you a+ all around.

No homo.

My grandma has some good ones from back in the day, stuff about not buying men that aren't in your family ANYTHING, if you are a female.

It's really that old school game, that what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine as well type vibe.

Your reply in the begining reminds me of what Tariq Nasheed said last week when he said some along the lines of "When was your mom born she out here kicking that depression era game". I also agree only a dude thats sex whipped, low self esteem, and/or think he can't get better would stay with a chick thats only bringing sex to the table long term.

edit: Thanks to whoever posted that 50% off express code

Hey does anyone know how the lunargrand wingtip run?

Thanks

 

[bigboss]

Hey guys i'm going to a casual dinner tonight and wondering what shoes would be best for this shirt, just going to wear straight fit denim with it.

Also I dont have any wingtips of shoes like that. I have Clarks but they are wallabees so I dont know if it will look right. Thanks for the help in advance.

 

[NCtwin]

^Wisith: Thanks, bro!

NCTwin: I've had the first navy color for a while, but this one was calling my name... especially for $175.

Can't be mad at that. I want the first navy color myself.

I did a half size down and they were good to go.

Desert boots would be money here. I never liked the Wallabees and think the shape is not all that great.

Bama is looking sharp today. Perhaps its the pose and picture composition as well that play a factor.

Lounging around today, also another camo entry:

Co-sign the half size down in comparison to most dress shoes. I went a full size down from what I wear in most Nikes. 10.5 Lunargrands, 11 other dress shoes, 11.5 Nikes for me...I have wide feet.

Your right, deserts would look great, I like the dark brown pair, I might just have to pick up a pair, esp if I can find a discount somewhere 

These right here actually, great price too. The beeswax color.

Amazon product ASIN B0007MCUTK
Edit: Do they run true to size or should I size down half or whole? I have wide feet too.

 GHOST is that dude, the wallys are super comfy.

What color wally's? To me they are even more classic than the DB's.

Dark brown leather, and I have the sand color also.

Also can a Desert boot owner tell me if they are TTS? I cant pass them up being half off on Amazon.

 

[tee eye ehm]

Try the whole fit on...if you think it looks good, rock with it!

Wally's are the first Clark's I've ever owned...had them in middle school, word to Pretty Toney.

In high school I copped my first pair of Desert Trek's. Which just reminded me that I really want to cop a new pair.
