[airmaxes]

Looking for a boarding bag ala this one:

Any suggestions for a sleek and stylish one? Good quality and construction, as well as a nice price point a must.

Question, how do yall think a turtleneck sweater would look under a suit? it's too cold for just a shirt and tie but not cold enough for an overcoat and Ihave to wear a suit. don't have to wear a shirt and tie though

I'm not a fan of the idea. I would rather throw on a nice scarf

 

[omgitswes]

don't like scarves all that much. i'm looking online for some pics but don't really see any. a V-neck might be better

 

[stay lurkin]

^^^^Tie your scarf like a LOOSE tie. The only way I can wear one. Looks dope

Fiorentini + Baker 745s, $420 retail though:

these are really nice! I need a way cheaper alternative though lol

Here are my Clarks Desert Boots in Beeswax after approximately six months of wear.

Mine are getting quite a bit of wear as well. Though they are not close to this worn out yet. I actually really like how mine currently lookright now though, so I'm gonna try to take better care of them now

On a side note, I think my next shoe purchase is gonna be the Gray DB's;

It is a hard look to pull off.

I'd definitely go with a safer route of a sweater, plus I think the turtle neck gives a more casual look.

The ones that I bought came with tags that said something like Premium RRL Product in addition to the Rugby tags and they are in the "vintage slim"cut; they are different than the ones that are currently for sale on the website as well (for instance, mine have a 7 inch leg opening vs the bootcut on thewebsite). They are closer to RRL slim than the RL slim and I bought them in my normal size which at first I could wear without a belt but after several weeksthey stretched. They feel heavier than the RRL's as well. Never had or seen APC's so I can't comment on that.

I've bought a couple pairs of jeans and pants from the website and the fit is pretty much how it looks on the models.

DBs can be polished!

 

[rsdplaya]

1. did you guys know you can get Clark DB's at JCPenney's? I was shocked.

2. are they comfortable?

Personally, I love the look when done right. That pic that RFX posted caught my eye over at SF & this one too from T.I.P.

I soo wanna replicate this outfit!

 

[falcon4567]

This is weird, I just saw RFX's face. Its kinda like seeing a teacher outside of school.

 

[airmissionretro]

^^^^ word T.I.'s outfit is dope----its reminiscent of the 70s, in a good way. That hat and shades completes it though.

 

[airmaxes]

Falcon,

Not bad, but I know there are some good ones to be had for about $70...

Comme des Garcons PLAY sweater, UNIQLO oxford, APC Pioneer New Standard, APC x Nike All Court

Thats not me, just a fit pic I found at SF as an example.

 

[falcon4567]

Oh thank god I was terrified for a second

 

[its that dude]

wearing sweaters, should the sleeves of the dress shirt under be shown?

 

[jackiechizzan]

^ matter of preference.

i prefer that the sleeve just peeks out

 

[stay lurkin]

Am I the only person in this thread that feels like he HAS to roll up his sleeves?

I roll up the sleeves on my dress shirts all the time. The only time I roll them down is when I'm putting a cardigan, sweater, blazer, orsomething else over it.
