Ahhh, I just didn't think he still posted or I didn't noticed.
I thought you were talking about him but when I checked his profile, it showed that his last post was September 2008, so I thought you were talking aboutsomeone else, or me.
I guess Yuku is just messing up again?

^ That bag with the umbrella holster is
. And is that one of those new Gucci cardigans? I saw one at Neimans, but for $1k, I could get two ignorant LVsweaters.

Everything in that second pic are actually Gucci; shirt, cardigan, pants, loafers, etc...
I'm not sure if IK has posted this but oh well, here it is again.
The Rules of Khaki via Detail Magazine:
1. COLOR: Chinos are also called khakis for a reason: color. Stick with tones from stone to tan. Faded khakis are best reserved for outdoor Sundays. Darkerversions are refined enough for the office as long as they're crisply pressed.
2. LENGTH: Chinos that hit at the ankle work just as well as those that break slightly at the hem. However, too much of anything is never good. If your pantsbunch around your ankles like crushed paper bags, see a tailor.
3. POCKETS: Most khakis come equipped with four pockets, two in the front and two in the back. There's nothing wrong with that, but to add some variation,try a pair with slant pockets, which are leaner, cleaner alternatives.
4. CUT: By now you know to avoid pleats. To up your game with khakis you'll need to focus on fit. Straight-leg varieties are the most conventional andcomfortable, while slim-cut versions, with a slightly low rise, are the most modern. Both types should skim your hips, and the fly should sit naturally.
5. MATERIAL: If your pants contain nylon or rayon, or are marketed as wrinkle-free, they're not really khakis. Buy 100 percent cotton, and in the summer,stock up on the American original in washed twills and poplins.
6. CUFFS: When rolling up your khakis you'll want to strike a balance between a cuff that looks unstudied and one that looks neat. Make them about an inchwide, fold them over two or three times, then scrunch them until they appear slightly uneven.

Van's released some wingtips last year as well in their Vault line and a collab with Watanbe. I'm a sucker for wingtip looking shoes for some reason.

I'm not sure if NT is ready for these but instead of going for those wingtip Vans, how about some actual, real wingtips?
Could I persuade someone to make the switch or shall we take it one step at a time?

But there are cheaper alternatives. Check out UrbanOutfitters.com, there should be a couple for around $50-$150.

It's hard to convince my feet on the weekends to rock leather-bottoms after the workweek. I got these ferragamos that've only seen light 3x in 3 years.
