Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Yeah JCP is definitely turning around....I went there a few weeks ago and liked a lot of their new pieces in the men's section. The prices are on point too, don't really have a need to go to Macys now really.
 
Keep in mind that the apc one will probably cost triple what toj runs. I'd be surprised to see the apc with an msrp of less than a grand considering their regular cotton chinos are $200 already. Either way, I'll be on the look out to try on in person.

If you wait you can get those chinos for less than 100. Same for that APC jacket.
 
Bros,

I tried on the JCrew urban slim in a 28W and everything fits perfect except for the thighs (a bit tight). Should I size up to a 29 and hope for the pants to shrink a bit, and just have them tailored afterwards?

Or should I just continue my search for the perfect chino?

They definitely have and their prices aren't too bad. I've actually gotten really lucky at my JCP, including finding this past Sunday, 100% wool flannel trousers from Izod for $5.
 
Anyone pick up that polka dot button up from jcp? Saw a post about it awhile back and wanted to see a few pics

I'm glad I'm not the only one messing with JCP.

I've been in my dorm studying all day for my Marketing class. Good thing it's raining hard so now I really have no reason to leave my dorm till class :lol:

Juniors and seniors don't have to take it. :smh: I'm one of two sophomores in the class :lol: :rolleyes
 
Lol I live close enough to my school that I can commute so off campus living was never an option. Parents would rather me just live at home. That being said, last semester of my undergrad and my roommate didn't come back. Single life :pimp:
 
Really not looking forward to the GMAT at all. I need to get my certifications out of the way first though. A MBA is pointless if I can't find a job

I hate standardized testing looked at my gmat book for 15 min and was like "wut"

Gonna enroll in a 4 saturday class in April and until then try to refresh my self on math

Hate that the writing wasn't factored into scoring (if I remember correctly). Also spent a few hundred on books. They were useless. Found one in the trunk of my car a few months back; wanted to burn it.

Word the books are written terribly for self study. I find it dumb that the math stuff is even there literally deals nothing with anything i do career wise and isnt even a good indicator of corporate decision making skills.
 
very nice Carlin. I'm guessing sanderson's right?

 Haha yeah, they have quickly moved into my top 3
Is the toe cap different color than the upper or is it just from polishing? Looks cool. I like the fit waist up by itself, and waist down by itself ******, but not really liking it too much all together. Kicks are ill though.
The toe is slightly darker, just due to the burnishing during production, I think.  Thanks for the critique

color on the shoe is just the burnishing
 
Random thought...whatever happened to eiddyfouw or jordanscrub. Haven't seen them post in here for a minute..

i'm 99% positive that jordanscrub took our advice and is posting under a different SN. i won't be the one to blow up his spot though

I was wondering about Jordanscrub too. I wonder what his new handle is.....

Quoting myself but I thought about it and yeah it's pretty clear his new identity :lol:

Also, what is your guys thoughts on the S/S '13 Nick Wooster Collection at JCP:

http://www.jcpenney.com/dotcom/jsp/...Id=pg40023600013&_requestid=4316488#blueshirt

I'm actually feeling the Polka Dot and Floral button downs. May have to check them out in stores.

im going to check it out. plus I got a 25% off coupon in the mail.

I just wonder if their 'selvedge" is raw or not. kind of defeats the purpose if not

Then you wouldn't be comparing apple to apple. I bought a couple pairs of APC chinos at retail and I have no regrets. And if we're talking about buying online then you probably wouldn't have the chance to try on the APC varsity in person prior to buying as well.
 
rainy day out here in NJ:

As I said it's been raining really hard here all day. Breaking out the umbrella tonight. :lol:

Nice fit today A
