Ahhhh, you know how he rolls. :3

Fast, N&F denim on sale, some down to 29.95$ at Simons. Most sizes available. The indigo WeirdGuys are at 100$.

Also, this is cool: http://www.cottonwork.com/starterkit

Thanks for the heads up, but I don't do thick denim.. Even in winter I prefer wearing light pants, my pair of brown canvas N&F are too hot & "cumbersome" for me.

 

Rate or hate? It's an England cricket top replica from from the 80's, but yeah pretty just a polo shirt.

Not a fan of graphic polos. White or khaki would probably be better with that shirt but it depends on your shoes.

Big fan of the Kent Wang polo here, and it's the least expensive of the four. 65$ is not bad at all for mother-of-pearl buttons and a spread collar on a polo.

Looking at buying a few long-sleeve shirts as I have NONE and need some for when I move on 3 weeks to wear about.

bit like this:

 

Sweaters or long-sleeve tees? Land's End Canvas has the former for 20$. Make sure you check the size charts or else they might not fit right; people usually recommend sizing down.

My mum went to England and I asked her to get me a cricket top, I wanted something like this:

 

 

But she got me that polo instead. Guess I needed better instructions.

a) Sorry for the bad pic: http://www.unrefinery.com/article/buyers-guide-our-favourite-polo-shirts

b) I like older cricket style. Nowadays gear is more focused on practicality than style (which is fine by me), but back in the day people dressed really nicely for sports. That's why you call it a sports coat, in fact. Cricket sweaters are really nice, you should get one.

Just some quick, honest advice from me. I know this thread was started a while ago, and some good suggestion have been made, analyzed, improved on and reworked. However, that being said, out of experience into the year 2011, an important piece of the puzzle is often overlooked by the majority, and much of this puzzle piece is to be had in order to complete anyone's persona/facade (whatever you're going for I suppose).

 

That is, 'classy' isn't defined by how you look physically, or how you dress. Of course, some people will rush quickly to the fastest searchable online dictionary, and quickly conclude from one of the many definitions of 'class' that style, indeed, plays a huge factor, and I'd be wrong to tell you it doesn't. However, you have to consider at the same time, that, some of the best-dressed individuals in this day and age can be the most uncouth scoundrels!

 

So, I'm not going to sit here and preach how to be classy by any means, because for each person there's a veritable wall of options you can employ. Dressing stylishly will denote the respect you have for your look, and there's some vital integrity to be had there, but being classy would require that you not only look it, but you exude it. Hold yourself to a personal standard of varying degree, by no means low but by no means terribly high, and people will react subconsciously. Find out where your class comes from and amplify it, but always remember, never push it so much that your head ends up too big to fit that trendy hat on. No one likes a Scrooge.

Very sound advice. Irrelevant to the thread, but very sound nonetheless. :razz:

@Omar, Long sleeve Tees. I usually wear jumpers/jackets instead of sweaters.

Any suggestions for shoes that are suitable for wet weather while still looking okay-decent?

 

I'm sick of my shoes falling apart.

 

Note that I'm talking about shoes for females.

Not sure where you could get yourself some Filson's Oil Finish Wax, but that would be my plan.

Anything you like in here Tim? Also check out the sale, some things come around pretty cheap with the additional 15% off from subscribing and the 25% off sale items.

Styleforum's new Buy & Sell system is so much better than the old, glad they made the change.

Is that $USD 60? Sounds a bit expensive for plain cotton. And does anyone not really like the henley necks?

I only have one pair for wet weather, but I hardly wear them. But try getting Ugg boots, if that's your style.

I don't like henleys either, but I just recommended what he asked for. Alternatively, the aa5107 costs 22$ less. aa2607 - 14.99$, minus 25% with promo code. Those aren't v-necks though.

I love henleys...

Henleys are way cooler than tees, and way cooler than polos. Tshirts look silly, while polos can look nerdy. Henleys are a nice middle ground.

 

Ball tonight. Three-piece tuxedo, black bowtie.

Have fun at the ball, Shiny.

 

Ugg boots are gross, but I did get some boots and lace up shoes that are appropriate for the wet weather.

I ended up finding some water and stain protector at the shoe store which is pretty much the same. woop. thanks

Enjoy!

Kohl's has some awesome clearance stuff when i can actually find stuff in my size. I got a good haul today.

2 cashmere sweaters, navy and dark greenish, 13$ea.

1 dark grey henley shirt, $5

1 gray v-neck shirt, $3

1 button-down navy shirt, 7$

Gray dress pants, $9

 

Liked 270$ or so off MSRP for it all

Crewneck sweaters are so awesome. :shades:

Free shipping + 40% off items already marked down at J.Crew with code LOVEIT

I'm pissed off I slept on the brown linen-cotten v-neck. I really wanted a sweater like that and now they don't have it in my size. Got it in navy as well as a green BD collar madras shirt.

I "ordered" Cottonwork's free starter kit, I'm hoping their fabrics are good enough. Going to check for info and feedback on them and then order this once I have the kit:

-White oxford cloth

-Button-down roll collar

-Single-button straight cuffs

-With placket

-Normal collar height

-Center box in the back

-Straight bottom cut

-Normal sleeve width

-Non-split yoke

-No collar stays since it's a button-down collar.

 

I guess this is a pretty good way to get acquainted with all the different details you can have on a shirt. Apparently the fabric is near-bulletproof.
