Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[scarsorscabs]

Is that Gilt code expired? It doesn't work for me... 

I think it's for first time purchases. Try creating a new account 

Nah, I had gotten it and had bought from Gilt/Park & Bond before but it'd been a while. They had been sending me 30% off also randomly, trying to get me to buy again.

It might've been tp random members, posibly frequent shoppers and those who hadn't in a while to encourage a purchase. I don't bother with Gilt because if I ever check it out, it seems like all of the good stuff is gone as soon as the sale goes up.

whats next after the denim challenge?

K recently proposed an ugly sweater contest. The only thing I can use are my fair isle pieces.

I proposed a theme of red and/or green attire at the beginning of the month for the Xmas spirit. I feel a lot more will join since the colors are pretty common. Someone's gonna come through with green camo pants and red Jordans of some sort I'm sure

The Japanese are definitely unique:

The weird/funny thing is that they're into this whole workwear AKA Americana scene more than the Americans. For those that are unfamiliar, this is the whole work shirt, rugged boots, and selvedge jean aesthetic, pretty much what J. Crew is going after. The whole thing is a sham anyway because no average middle class blue collar worker will shell out $450 for a pair of Alden Indy, and $200 for selvedge jeans just to go to work.

my vote goes to red/green xmas challenge. no ugly sweaters on my end (at least i think so)

 

[jordanscrub]

thanks, im thinking about the prps more but i usually get my jeans, tapered and shortened. with these, not sure if i want to shorten or keep em at whatever length and get the whole whiskers and such going on

Yeah I feel you. I almost will probably get these tailored/altered to get a perfect fit. I'm very picky when it comes to my jean fit. 

FYI, a lot of people said go true to size or size down one. I went true to size to leave room for alterations

Until this year I have never been content with my denim. I am unbelievably picky when it comes to getting the right fit.

My RL Slims are a dream come true

My vote is on the ugly sweater contest.

My grandma bought me one that will keep you at least 10 feet from me in public

I would have to second this. I was deployed to Japan and they definitely go overboard on American culture. There is actually a sub-culture where the girls dress like black girls with weaves. Its scary.

With GAP it's always to good to be true

 

[klasssickfresh 87]

Anyone know if the Gap x GQ BLK DNM Leather bombers run true to size? I've been seeing mixed measurements on smalls and mediums. Please help!

 

[stephenb]

Very true,still might be worth checking out though also Banana Republic is doing 30% off all regular priced items online only today

sorry to burst your bubble....but you didn't buy selvedge for that price

but....i did? was the naked and famous grey selvedge joints on sale for $68 then used the 50% coupon...

 

[caliburrito]

I used the "MY50" on park and bond and ordered the Naked and Famous weird guy in raspberry indigo. Comes out to about $45 shipped.

Yeah I must agree, I love RL fitting.

 

[omgitswes]

Any idea how long the My50 code will work?

 

[storm2006]

This. Will the challenge begin Friday when the other ends?

Anyone going, or ever been, to Santacon in NYC? I'm not into costumes (i.e. the customary Santa suits) so I'm taking a bit of a dressing better approach with my fit. My last piece should arrive in the mail today so hopefully it all comes together. I'll try to get pics early in the day before the festivities begin for the next challenge!

On the hunt for some white Achilles low Common Projects for the low

 

[momoney848]

Also, I picked up this Allsaints Kaledin Peacoat that I've wanted for a while. No buttons on the outside.

Allsaints has 25% off in store and online with the code WINTER. Only leather is excluded.

Obviously, a complete stranger would know how much you paid. What were you thinking fam?

 

[typerpinoy]

they must be off the site now then because the only N&F in that price range aren't selvedge

Trying to figure out if this is racist or not.

Definitely hitting up that GAP sale today.

 

[blakep267]

the email I got said UP to 50% off on stores. meaning itll be the usually 30% for most things
