Lenticular_J Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Found my friend an amazing pair of Allen Edmond Byrons at Goodwill. They've barely been used (I think the inside said they were made in 2004 or 2006), and are a lovely shade of brown - kind of chestnut. They're cap-toe oxfords, for those that don't know. The have some perforating, but that lends to his style - sort of rocker. Eight dollars and 11 cents for what is definitely a $300+ pair of shoes. I should have kept them until my foot grew to size twelve, looking back ... catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 My town is pretty bad. Most things are stained beyond repair. That was a nice find. Of course, it was at the Goodwill on the ritzier side of town. Just have to get over the smell of that place ... Worse than when the stockyards would fill up! All the same. I bought a pink gingham/chambray two-sided bow tie recently. It might be here tomorrow. I'm also looking into some more rugged shirts. Not quite chambray (although I would like a few dark chambray shirts, but I think I can get those at Gap or somewhere, right?), but a heavier cotton. Is it oxford cloth that's fairly tough? I can never remember. And wool ties. I just got hit with the "I'm working hard but not so hard that I can't look good" thing. And I like it. Wool ties included. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 We have a couple of like premium thrift stores around where I live but I never find time to go to them. I saw premium because they have much better selection of clothing then say a goodwill and are really selective about the items they take in.

darkace21 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I picked up a blue/white/black checkered longsleeve flannel shirt at Gordmans to go with my blue/white/gray jordan's and my KC hat.

Omar Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Broadcloth? American Apparel sells BD collar chambray shirts in blue and red.

Scorcheddd Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 What does OT think of Men's Cardigans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I like mens cardigans when worn casually over a pair of dark jeans. Shirt would be a nice, ironed button down or a graphic tee. Personally, I prefer knit sweaters, I have 3. One bulky, ultra-casual green one, about 20 years old. I have another, tighter magenta one, which looks nice. My favourite of the three is my ralph lauren cotten, slim fit dark green. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I like mens cardigans when worn casually over a pair of dark jeans. Shirt would be a nice, ironed button down or a graphic tee.No graphic tees, ever. Cardigans are cool, but don't buy super-tight fitting ones from American Apparel. I got one for free, they're like arm leggings. And a button fell off after three wears. Get a chunky knit one in an earthy color. As always, make sure it fits, the shoulder seam is a good guide.

stevepole Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I used to love American Apparel but they like changed their cuts so all their shirts don't fit me right anymore and they always tend to get holes after a while or shrink. I've moved on though to Alternative Apparel, a little more costly, but a much better product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satenza Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Sorry. I won't hear of any American Apparel criticism. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omar Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Well then it's an investment, you're better off buying one sweater at 70$ that will last you ten (arbitrary) years than two for 50$ that will last you five years each.
