I wouldn't put those 3 items together. They look good individually, but together. Nah.
A more neutral colored shoe might help.

Those of you that don't dig Toms should at least try a pair on. My girl at the time got me a pair for my birthday, while skeptical at first I loved them after wearing them. They are really comfortable imo. There are also different styles of Toms, not just the model you usually see females wear.
These are the ones I have
Got the same ones, without the lining...my go to joints when I was in Vacay....take up no space in your luggage.

Ok I am looking at a pair of Navy Florsheim Haviland's or Veblen's
Suede or Leather? I am leaning more to the leather.

I have leather Veblens. I wasn't sure how much I'd like them but ended up liking them a lot. Get a ton of wears and looks great with just denim

Am I crazy or are they NOT supposed to look like this AT ALL :x

:x Terrible tailoring. You could do that yourself. You aren't supposed to be able to tell that the pants was altered with a decent job.

thats terrible :xJust rip it and take it elsewhere. Whenever you take your clothes to the tailor ask them how they plan to do the tailoring.

Thank you sir.
I see gilt is doing a Loake sale next tuesday. Probably my best bet in getting a pair without having to order from overseas.

Never wore a blazer/sportcoat casually til yesterday. I actually like the overall blazer look a lot. People do look at you different.
Pretty simple fit, I did a double knot after this pic, and added a tie bar. I shoudve thrown on a pocket square but didnt have time. Woudve thrown on a camo pocket square. Coat is just H&M, shoes are Bass, pants are Levi 511 Commuter trousers. Excuse the heavy editing lol.
Oh and the jacket IS a little tight on me, looks too tight if I button it, but im in the process of losing weight still and figured ill fit into it better in a few months.

I probably would go with a different tie though.

^^^looks good, i was planning on doing the same exact look tomorrow for a wedding, but i hurt my foot running, so i doubt ill be able to stand all day in a pair of shoes....so scrap that, ill do it next week for the other wedding.
another fit i pulled together with the same shirt from the previous one, you really don't need a closet full of clothes, just get pieces that can be versatile, vie worn these pants with shoes, sneakers, to the beach, with tees, polos and dressy shirts, obviously the shirt can be worn just as easy with jeans, shorts or like here with a more summer casual look...i threw on the Toms for laughs, i know how much ya dislike them

Pants were perfect, I think I took that pic the day I bought the shoes last week, wearing the same pants but I was sitting and sagging.Now just imagine if the Jacket fit a little better (I know you are loosing weight, me too) and the paints were hemmed.I probably would go with a different tie though.

Not clothes related, but this Skagen (Sartega posted about I think) came in earlier this week:
I think its pretty solid for my needs and it only cost me $40..looks like it cost much more than that imo, I may try and replace the band though

Ive got a couple of jeans and nice trousers that are baggy and I dont want to throw them out. Im new to the tailoring and alterations thing and wanted to know things like taking the inseam up means they will take out the baggyness. Basically I want to know if they can be made into straight or slim fit. I also have a pair of Ralph Lauren cargos but im assuming the pockets will look weird if they were altered to a slim fit...on to a neverending search of slimfit cargos.

Taper is what you're looking for. Slim fit cargos? Levi's has some nice ones out now, Uniqlo has good ones too. They arent as hard to find as they were last fall.

I pin up my own clothes before i go to the Tailors. My tailor is a lil hard headed at times.They will genrally start the taper at the hips. One problem I see with tapering chinos/ jeans is the front and back rise. If its too much. You get this poofy effect around your mid section.
Kinda like this.
THe more the baggy the more it wil cost. You may have to take them in at crotch and in the back. You might as well buy a new pair. Unless they are your favorite.
I notice this allot in this thread.

I like DSW water protectant and I use a horse hair brush made by Kiwi to clean them after every wear.
Got the shirts today and honestly disappointed as hell with the fit of the shirts. Fabric and quality of the 3 shirts feels and seems to be really good. Right now I'm just extremely turned off and really rethinking ordering The Daily Hook Up deal. Shirt sleves are 1.5" too short, the shirts are 3-3.5" too short and worse of all, after providing measurements of the chest, stomach and hips, they're 8" too small. Shirts won't even close. I'm posting pics of just one of the shirts, since pretty much all 3 look the same.
