does anyone know how wolverine boots fit?

 

[pinoy732]

FYI that's not a blazer. That's a suit jacket, a horrible fitting one at that.
Jeans can work. Adrian does it all the time.

Honestly I thought it was a blazer cause it looks mad short.

i wear both jackets and blazers with jeans all the time so you'd be fine. however, that particular one is terrible. if its that ill-fitting on the model, i can only imagine what it'd be like in real life

If a jacket has a matching pair of trousers in the same color and fabric, then it's part of a suit. Blazers are more casual and have patch pockets and usually don't have the corresponding trousers.

Seriously. It boggles my mind that these firms will pay good money to hire models and orchestrate photoshoots yet have outfits that leave much to be desired.

I don't have the regular Wolverines, but I do have the 1k model. It fits a bit big, size down .5 from your sneaker size.

Speaking of ugly Christmas sweaters, I'm watching the Clippers and Nuggets game now and they showed the sweater that Barnes wore. I think they must've had a contest within the team. It was green with Christmas trees hanging onto it

Well Duh, I know that. There are those hybrid jackets that can be worn as a suit or a blazer. Marc Jacobs seems to do alot of that. They have a blazer, then they will have trousers to match. They can be worn together due to being the same material but are better off worn separately.

No hate, still luv ya.

Then I believe you mean orphaned jacket then. You're talking about fashion forward brands, man. That picture looks like it was something from Jos. A Bank or something

For those who may be lost in the lingo:

Blazers: look like normal jackets, but have patch pockets.

Suit jackets: usually made with finer material, ie worsted wool, and have regular pockets.

Sports jackets: look like suit jackets, but made out of 'outdoorsy' material like tweed. It's called a sports jacket because they used to use it for hunting sports. However, a full suit can still be made.

Orphaned jackets/vests/trousers: the suit is sold a la carte and each piece is bought separately and can be worn alone or as a set.

Yeah. I thought thats what he posted. He said blazer so I ran with it. I noticed they matched but figured he would know a lot more than me about the articles he posted than I would.

I guess we agree that what ever it really is, looks bad.

Here is the TOJ I got last month.

My experience is to not to listen to Charly.

He's very vague and short. An MTM experience should not consist of one liners.

I ended up waiting 2 months and got a bad fitting jacket on his recommendation. Had sell and buy another in SF's Buy/Sell board. Still not 100% satisfied.

So I selling this one.

That TOJ1 is too smooth. Murder black. :x

I'm surprised they chose to use that picture. Literally EVERYTHING is off.

 

[Lì Qí]

To Church

And for the Christmas Party

 

[mg140cd]

I like that second pic of the TOJ. It looks like it fits perfectly.

This is correct... what a better guy than Bama to answer this question, he knows his AE shoes.

MTM is more for the leather jackets since the TOJ1s are only adjustable in length and sleeve length

And from what you posted on Styleforum, the denim jacket pics you posted looks pretty similar to the TOJ1 you got

Hey guys.

Just got the email from Clae for 30% off all orders placed Dec 26-Jan 14 using code CLAE2013

Might actually get me to pull the trigger on a pair of chambers

There's about 20 folks lined up at H&M and the store doesn't open for another 40 minutes

What's going on there today?

 

[wj4]

Probably a decent after Xmas sale. Not sure how much cheaper things can get though.

 

[typerpinoy]

I think they are also giving out free gift cards or something.

 

[D.Josey]

Don't these people have to work?

 

[storm2006]

Don't these people have to work?

Well, a lot of people I know took the whole week off...or they could be college students home on break. But when things like the iPhone come out in September or June and there's people lining up on Thursday and Wednesday, I have no idea how that's possible. They must have no corporate or educational responsibility.
