Nah, man. If it did, I wouldn't have got it. I would be slipping and sliding all over the rain.

Picture of the sole.

Great choice. Those chukkas can definitely be dressed up or down and the rubber sole makes it much more versatile. Now you are ready for the handful of rains that visit us.

Dude, I just checked the weather. It's suppose to be back up in the high 70s/low 80s tomorrow?

I will wear them tomorrow and see how they are, comfort wise. I have a pair of BR shoes already and I love that pair. Hopefully I will like this one too.

The only reason I'm looking at those Sperry's is because I got 2 coupons today from Macy's, $20 off $70 purchase or more.

Yeah, it's supposed to be in the lower 90's on Friday.

But if you are still looking for dress shoes, Macys carries Johnston & Murphy now, and some are going for $100-$110.
Some of the captoes look pretty good and that $20 off will help a lot.

I want this sweater vest, get my Corey Matthews on.

Come to think of it, that would make a great Halloween costume.

How bad is rain in your area?
I mean where I am at, they considered yesterdays and todays rain a storm but it really wasn't much so I could pull off a lighter jacket.
If you deal with heavier rain, you may need a more heavy duty jacket.
A budget will also help in giving a suggestion.

I'm in Sacramento. Yesterday was crazy but today was hot as hell. So nothing too heavy, it's not like I live in NY. As far as price goes preferablylow-mid $100s range but nothing higher than $200.

I definitely suggest Nordstrom Rack or mall brands like Banana Republic or J. Crew.
Banana Republic is having 40% off sales every wednesday for this whole month so check the store out next week, you might be able to find a bargain.
Check out the BR websites selection: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=32658

Okay thanks for the input. On a side note your outfits are on key. I'm more a lurker than a poster but I've seen your outfits and they are clean.You're carrying this thread very well.

Quick question, if I go and get my jeans hemmed at a tailor shop is there a specific hem I tell the person?

 

[rcdp]

Personally I ask for a half inch break on my jeans

It all depends on your preference. Some prefers a lot of break for the stacking appearance. However, I like the straight look so minimum breakfor me.

 

[lilpro4u]

Do most people prefer that they leave the original hem or just cut and "create" one?

 

[airmaxes]

Depending on how unique the hem is. If its some basic stuff I'll save my $ and create one as I did with my last pair.

When I wore jeans that only came in 34-35'' inseam, I always get an original job. But now I buy jeans that actually is of my naturallength so I haven't got a hem job in a while. I always prefer original job though, because with the cut and sew, you can tell the difference.

They came in 2 other colors. The browns and black were kinda safe so I went with the grays. They were released in late August. Dr.Marten site probably has someleft as well as the Stussy store.

RFX, I think I'm going to steal that outfit you posted on the previous page. I was wondering if there was a way to wear those Pradas without them lookingtoo athletic

At work the other day:

Nice BB cardigan, should have grabbed one during the F&F sale.

I don't think the acups were super sporty, I've always dressed up the all black acups a bit, at least as dressed up a sneaker could be.
A lot hate it but I particularly like it. Of course I won't be wearing it in board meetings or presentations but with dark jeans and shirt, it works well.

 

[lilpro4u]

I will cop that cardigan during the next sale. I tried on an XL and it runs kinda big..

 

[rfx45]

I actually have to get the kids XL in that cardigan because I am 100% sure the small in mens will be too big.

 

[nako xl]

anyone know where i can find a robe like this?

don't ask why

 

[russ tha g]

Yeah, it may be harder for me because I got the red patent ones. Oh well. I'll give it a go on one of these rainy days. And yeah, that sweater is enormous.The small isn't tight fitting in the least bit. It gives a slight flying-squirrel effect because of the low underarm fit, but it's tolerable--for themost part.

JKissi, I hope you don't mind me posting.

Yeah thats the problem I have with hemming but when you're short, its hard to find your length.

I'm about 5'7. 170 pounds and its nearly impossible to find a 28 in length only online.

That suit Kobe got on is fire.

The good thing about jeans is you can get away with some break. It could look really good with some break or you can just cuff them for a more casual look. Soyou definitely could go with 30"-32" inseam.
