From the Buyer's Guide 2009 from Men.Style.com:

Some nice stuff that I wouldn't mind having (my picks):

 

[rfx45]

From the Sartorialist.
Simple and awesome.

 

[falcon4567]

Whenever I see an all-tweed suit I think of characters in early 20th century British novels.

 

[rfx45]

I always associated tweed suits with early 20th century workers.

As for more things that will make you spend, Paul Smith has some nice items for Fall.
I don't want to post all the pics I want but I'll just share these two items I will be keeping my eye on.

PLEASE INCLUDE PRICES AND PURCHASE LOCATIONS....

RFX, I think that last jacket needs more buttons.

yes, sarcasm....


Explain to me the Satorialist....does this guy take pics of random folks on the street, or are they just models? Ilike that dude's style in that pic...

Nildawg....i'm diggin the powder blue sport coat....not something I'd wear, but you pull it off well.

 

[rfx45]

^^^ I think I detect your sarcasm there.

But I do like the buttons, it just separates it from other jackets, well it is actually supposed to be a shirt.

As for the Sartorialist, he just goes around town and take pictures of the styles he find interesting/likes.
No models or clothing brand advertising.

Prices are both in EU at the moment since it's from the PS UK website.
It might be on the PS stores in the U.S. already but I am not sure yet.
The first one is $105 Euro and the second one is $155 Euro.

Can I go to a tailor and get the waist size of my jeans 2 inches smaller? Is that possible? If so how much would that cost me?

 

[rfx45]

2" might be a bit too much, it will drastically change the look of your jeans if that much taken out.
The most I would suggest is 1" and even that is pushing it.
Around my area, that work would cost around $8-$15.

[teamjordankidd532]

Does anyone here have the Converse by John Varvatos CVO Wingtips? If so, could youpost some pics of them being worn? I've been considering getting them for about a month and now I'm afraid they are going to sell out at spots soon. Thanks

That's how you know you do too much shopping/browsing. I never even seen that pic before.

 

[rfx45]

^^^

Pretty much.

I'm with you, I browse the net too much for stuff to buy.
I just found these nice Theory Jacket and I am tempted.

Now the decision is between that one or this Richard Chai peacoat since they are the same price.

 

[cbass625]

[rfx45]

The Theory is $500+ and on pre-order at Bloomingdales.com.
The Richard Chai is also $500+ and available at Saks.

[cbass625]

thanks for the info on that jacket. now i just gotta save up. lol

 

[daytona 5000]

I'm feeling both of these shoes right here. What would be a typical outfit to wear with these??

 

[rfx45]

Those two are very versatile. It could workw ith jeans, chinos or slacks.
It can be casual or dressed up, although the loafers are on a more casual side.

I am not sure, it is a retro article of clothing that are usually big and oversized but are being converted into slimmer proportions... so it may be.
I like this jacket right here (pic found on SF). The particular varsity jacket is slim and works both in casual and semi-casual occasions.
The overall fit of the jacket is just great.

They're not really like white bucks (of course a different type sole/shoe), but depending on what colour the pants are, the shoes can look white or very light brown.

Pic

anyone?

 

[Mister Meaner]

To be honest, loafers such as this one never caught my attention. These, however, speak to me. They are calling my name.

I've been spending waayyy toomuch money, but once you have a few quality items, the spending should ease. Speaking of ease, that's easier said than done.

For sneakers with Khakis Vans or Chucks?

I am leaning towards chucks, but input is always appreciated. Low top chucks btw. (both vans and chucks are black)
