Dressing better

[rfx45]

Levis has new fits on their jeans; 520, 511 Carpenter and the Ex-Girlfriend jeans.
http://us.levi.com/family...7&cp=3146842.4305630

520: The waist of this jean is oversized to be worn low andslouchy on the hips. Skinny on down the leg, it tapers to a super skinny legopening.

511 Carpenter: The Skinny Carpenter hasslant pockets in front, tool pockets and a hammer loop at the side, andtriple-needle stitching throughout. Just like the low-rise original, it sitsbelow the waist and stays slouchy at top. Cut slim through the leg, it's closeand comfortable at the thigh and straight to the ankle.

Ex-GF: Remember the girlfriend with thegreat style? Here's a tribute to her -- a fit that's super-snug allover, anupdate of the five-pocket classic that's as skinny as it gets. Made with plentyof stretch.

Ultra skinny fit, really?

I just think of that Miller Lite commercial with dude getting clowned for wearing pants like that.

The 520's sounds perfect for most NTers though with their thunder thighs.

So while girls rock the boyfriend fits, we rock te ex-girlfriend fits?...lol...I don't think I can ever go that snug, that looks uncomfortable.

Nako - it depends how you like your jeans, I like mines to feel like the 511's....so the closest jcrew has to that is the vintage slims 484's...they sit low on the waist and slim all the way through....best fit on jeans I've ever had

ksteezy, how do jcrew jeans fit/look? do they wash out? and what's the pricing (stuff never costs as much as it says online in the store because of sales/student discount).

i was gonna hit the diesel store for jeans, but i might check out jcrew this go round. i own about 10 of their shirts and jackets but never bought pants there.

Gap's been trying to step up their denim game the last few months. They have some nice ones around the $80-$90 mark, but they're currently doing a promotion where every wednesday you can get 40% off any one regular priced item. Of course, I would never pay that much for jeans from the Gap even if it is from their higher-end line. But with the 40% coupon it makes them more appealing.



Nice

I received my Jcrew SS catalog the other day and saw that Jcrew is releasing a couple of vintage NB colorways, I was on the verge of copping some NB's from footlocker, so i decided to check these out in store, unfortunately they only had the grey CW...I couldn't pass on them, they are comfy as hell, no surprise from NB though, the green ones are fireee too.

We need a JCREW appreciation thread...seriously..

This Tommy sweater is NICE!!!

Very nice

 

[bballkingsrule]

Do I need a coupon to get the 40% off Wednesdays item or do I just go in?
I was looking up a 40% coupon for Gap, BR, but couldnt find oneee

 

[kobe8is]

Hey, I looked online for the same Tommy sweather and cant find it. Any help?

 

[JayDean03]

i dont eff wit boots with the fur on em but those look

where did you get those from?

 

[hankmoody]

^Why didn't you quote all the pics, though? Everyone else is. No one will answer your question if you don't quote all of the pics. Sorry.

 

[ksteezy]

The TH sweater I got at their store in the Westchester Mall up in White Plains, I'm not sure if they have anymore...It was kn a clearance rack for 40% plus an additional 25%...so I got t for dirt cheap...

The boots are Sperry's...just hit up their site or if you have a store nearby just go in, they've had them for weeks, but I guess due to the Uggz influx, I don't think they are selling out

 

[ksteezy]

Btw thank you guys and sorry I took a while to answer...haven't been on all day till now...lol

 

[rhester]

I might check into those Levi 520's....
But

@ dudes copping some "Ex-Girlfriend jeans"

 

[tony23retro]

KSteezy...

40D? What happend with the 5DII?

 

[aceofjays]

I just looked up the price on a 40d 

. I'll be going with a "baby" DSLR

, maybe the upcoming t3i.

To the tailor...

Ended up leaving the jacket to be taken in a tad.

So, this is the jacket I had the test run performed on

Before:

Huge, I know. I bought this back when "I thought I was doin' it"

 

During:

I can't front. Seeing the jacket change before my eyes was slightly invigorating.

Here's how it turned out. I'm pleased. She took 6 inches out (~3 sizes down) and moved the buttons in about an inch.

After:

 

[ooiron manoo]

maybe the upcoming t3i.
Didn't want to get lost in the photography thread, but when does this drop.

What's a good site to buy lenses?

aoj- nice fit, that a wool tie? 

nii- that gingham shirt combo is nice.

"Ex-Girlfriend Jeans"- really

I might have to give those 520's a shot.

Man, what a difference a little tailoring could do.

 

[aceofjays]

I believe the T3i is suppose to start shipping at the end of March and the tie is Chambray.

I know right! I'll never buy another suit and not get it fitted to my liking, ever.

 

[rockforlight]

What was the price of getting your jacket tailored?

[r1ckdare]

I know this has probably been answered before, but can anyone recommend a great tailor in LA that they've had experience with?
