I am older than you, but it's more about;

my style trending to the innocuous and 'timeless' [ie, won't find me, young or old, in: Hammer pants, Zubaz, Skinny Jeans, LMFAO-ware, Gaga's Meat suits, etc]

my purchasing preference trending to durable and well designed over throwaway fashions that'll turn to tatters after 5 washings.

You can do all of that at Banana Republic and actually look cool, though.

:LOL:

I predominantly shop at Macys (American Rag), Express, or Banana Republic

All make quality, fitted clothing that lasts.

I bought a couple of white casual dress [ie, button with collar, but not right for a suit] shirts that turned yellow after a couple of washings. Turned me off them. Plus the only one in Big Derrty never has any sales, ever.

H&M, The Bunker, Banana Rep for KC guy. Concerts for casual tees.

I've bought their 1MX and Polo's for years.. the fitted MX shirts look prettaaah good on me. Their winter outer-wear is also usually top notch. I agree with the logo and shield business though - even those are mostly on their graffic tees and you can sort through those pretty easily.

I've never had that issue with their shirts, but I don't buy that many button-downs from them. If you want solid button-downs, go with the 1MX from Express. Every now and then, they have an incredible sale. I literally bought 15 in one trip because the sale was so good. (Think I paid less than $20 each on average.)

H&M is ok, but Zara is Awesome if you have one near.

How is Zara's quality? I've never bought anything for myself from either. I think of both of those as women's stores.

****ing classy, Buck.

Good enough for Steve McQueen, good enough for you.

Is gochiefs trolling?

Why would I be trolling. We're talking about a pair of shoes that has remained relevant and popular for over 50 years.

Quite possibly the best shoe...ever.

U wear wranglers too?

I bought a medium-weight jacket and a button down shirt from Zara in Barcelona. Very happy with both.

They look alright, I just don't really like them that much.

I'm not falling for it.

Going down with the ship.

I have a pair of very sexy Johnston and Murphy desert boots.

God damn, hot.

http://images.beyond360imaging.com/p...oom/20/0-0.jpg

Those look like the type of boots that someone would wear with a dress shirt tucked into jeans.

Quite possibly the worst taste ever, gochiefs. Do yourself a favor and find yourself a friend to guide you.

I've had these boots since 1996, have hiked 100s of backcountry and city miles in them, and they still look almost as good as the day I bought them. They're back in style now as well.

Desert boots were recommended to me by a fashion-conscious friend.

Just because you can't appreciate over 50 years of classic style and tradition does not mean more discerning individuals can't.

Outstanding combination!

By all means, man. LMAO

You can also dress a desert boot up, as Simon Baker shows here!

If you're trying to bang chicks who have been divorced for a decade or more, probably with names like Susan, Linda, Barbara, Sharon, De nise, Nancy, etc., they are probably a good choice.

I got your back bro.
Top - Polo Desert Boot - those are in that shape after, no shit, 11 years of nearly daily use. For years, they were nearly the only thing I wore in business casual settings. Now that I'm back at school, it's Nikes most of the time, and these boots when winter comes and the jeans replace cargo shorts. They may indeed last forever. Soles are Goodyear welted. They retailed for $225 back when I bought them [just by chance for very VERY much less], and I saw a pair at Macys a year or so ago selling for $375.

Bottom - Johnston and Murphy [I think that they call it the Cumberland nowadays]. Only 4-5 years old, but also not showing wear much at all [outside of laces, oh and the Polo laces are ALSO original]. Very VERY comfortable. Probably most comfortable I own outside my Bacco Buccis.

You know how i know you're gay?

Whomever you are referring has his dick in your mouth? :shrug:

:LOL:

Picked these up for $20 at the local (Branson) BR outlet. Mine don't have the "penny" strap.

Clark's "roar" boot might also be an option, Buck.

bundle of stickss.

Those are money, man. Hell of a deal, too.

that's considered a boot?

:spock:

I prefer the Clarks Stack

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._SL1500_.jpg

That's a pretty boring boot.

With a few stitching differences, those are very very similar in style and cut to the J&Ms I posted above. J&Ms don't have the pull on loop at the back, and have a defined frontfoot & heel on the sole.

But I primarily like my J&Ms for comfort, more than style. The Polos are more my style preference.

Aldo is a good place for boots.

Hows about socks?

Jesus, I want to have sex with these boots.

You're either trolling, lack a sense of style, or likely both. Just stop.

Anyone ever owned one of these WeWood watches? I think they're awesome, but I wonder if they're durable. They're made out of wood, and they weigh nothing. Really cool, though. I'm thinking about buying this one.

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...r/_6689205.jpg

Ordered these last week while Men's Wearhouse was having a big sale. Got them for $48 shipped, now they're back up to $124.99 without shipping. Received them today; they look even better in person and the leather is very nice.

Someone recommend me some casual shoes. Other than GoChiefs.

Dress shoes are the first thing I need to buy when I secure a paycheck.

Something to wear with a shirt and tie everyday.

I don't own a suit.

There are resources available to job seekers which provide suits and shoes for those who can't get them on their own. One such organization is Career Gear. Doesn't look like they have an affiliate in San Diego but your local unemployment office should have information on a local equivalent.

I'm going to DSW right now.

Wish me luck!

Sportcoat.

I guess this would be the thread to ask this question...

WTF is w/ guys wearing sunglasses w/ white frames? Is this a new fad or was I just oblivious to this fad until now?

That's how you identify douchebags around here. Don't know about around your neck of the woods.

Are you hitting on him?

That's what I thought. When gay men ask other gay men about their shoe size, they're determining proper fit.

I figured that was part of the douchebag dress code. I see at least 1-2 guys a day driving around Omaha in their douchemobiles, blasting their douchetunes, and sporting their douchespecticles.

Style on the planet? Puhleeease

I like my Aviators. :thumb:

Anywhere from an 11 to a 12.

I tried on some Clark's and 11 was too small and 11.5 fit just right.

I wasn't too impressed by the selection at DSW, I ended up with this just because they were really comfortable, they fit, and they looked fine in the business casual style clothes I was wearing.

http://69.84.153.38/L/clarks-82213-axl-black.jpg

They have brown ones too, which I liked more, but I don't have a lot of stuff that would match brown shoes. Most of my clothes are Blue, gray, and black.

I'm only giving u a nibble

Aaaaaaand I immediately regret getting that hotel room with you in MO.

Those are really shiny!

Funny thing is dude's try to save money on dress clothes and the truth of the matter is this is the way to do it. A buckfity is about what u need to spend on a shirt to get great quality, 2fity on pants. If you get a great discount on the right pair like I posted they will last 3 times as long, require far less cleaning and you will look 10x better. YOu do the math, we are not even talking about time and effort to find the cheapies 3x over. YOu will spend far less to look WAY better. Bottom line

I'm not spending that much money on clothes that wont fit me in 2-3 months.

What r u pregnant or something?

I agree on shoes. Drop some coin on shoes. But you can get quality slacks and shirts for a lot less than that. When I used to wear a coat and tie 50 hours a week, I dropped a lot of coin at Brooks Brothers end of season sales. I don't think I've ever spend 2 bills on slacks unless it was built into the price of a suit. But you run in different circles than I ever did. I can understand the expectation to sport that high end look.
