Can a decent designer shearling coat be had for less than $1000, to name a specific brand, I've seen a couple from RL throughout the years and always wanted one. Notably something similar to

@betweenthebars - a few brands, truth is I haven't spent over 200 dollars on shoes, maybe in that range I wouldn't have issues. But Zara, Bata, Springfield and shoes I bought at a chain called Salamander have all caused some serious blisters.

@RFX45 - yeah it's quite obvious, but even if compared to something more affordable ie Lacoste I think they're built, look and feel cheap. Wanted to buy a pair which looked really cool in a picture, but once in my hand, I don't know, I backed out.

@Hermoon - what's that watch? looks wicked!

Sure but it depends on the degree of quality and design/style you are looking for.
Macys has Nautica and Bufallo faux-shearling jackets both for $220.

The Bufallo actually looks decent if you can make it fit better or as well in the Macys model.
There will probably be a faux-shearling popping up at H&M or ZARA come fall.


For a likely better quality option, though I never tried it, the Orvis Vintage Shearling jacket is on sale for bigger sizes here (and it uses real shearling): http://www.orvis.com/store/product....eeds-_-127748&CAWELAID=1019189624&cagpspn=pla

Does anyone have any experience with getting their polo shirts tailored? I have a couple in my closet but they are to long on me. Would a tailor be able to alter the sleeve length & length of a polo shirt like the one below?

 

[chaostheory]

How much for this vest? And when the online store will be open?

Around $150 - limited to 50 peices

Mid-late September, the online store should be good to go.

Jacket looks nice.

Here it is before they distressed it.

[23kickz]

that h&m varsity is pretty nice. how do they not put out a navy blue or black one though ? smh

 

[sarteaga0408]

Agreed, they look like cheap patent leather. Try finding something with less shine.

 

[oh fosho]

.. it was either those or the clarks beeswax, i think ill exchange them and get the clarks for a couple more bucks

and i'm starting from the ground up, trying to dress better... starting with shoes

here's an example of what i'm coming from: i know i know.. pants oversize n jacket a size too big

so what should i get next after the clarks.....

chinos?

thanks

Does express run super small? I`m a big dude, and I currently rock 17.5 in the neck, I usually cop Luxury Slim fit from Brooks Brothers, I assume Slim Fit Brooks brothers probably runs like fat boy sizes in Express lol

 

[ooiron manoo]

Anyone know of a good spot to buy thin hoodies. American Eagle has one but it has an American Eagle logo lol)

Also, looking for a backpack (no African print please ). Missed out on the grey joint from Everlane, it was ideal... (waitlisted)

Thanks a lot gents...

...and those Cole Haans can be pulled off, the question is can YOU pull them off. Too advanced for where you're at in your wardrobe right now. I'm assuming you don't have a suit yet. *winky face*

Well Express has 3 fits for their dress shirts.

Modern
Fitted
Extra Slim

Try them on and see which fit you better. Express just irks me that their sizing for dress shirts is XS, S, M, etc vs 14.5, 15, 15.5...

H&M back again with the baseball jackets. Last year these things did stay on the rack for a week...I am about to head out there now.

Does anyone know the release date?
