I've been wearing Chucks since I was a kid. I don't care if they're trendy or not. I love 'em.

Right back at ya.

My Friday work "uniform" is Chucks, jeans, and one of my many blazers paired with a button up shirt and a tie.

So you are business above the belt but with a bit of a teenager down below?

[Dickie Dee]

what do you guys think of leather chucks like these?





Saw them and sort of like them, but can't help but think as soon as I got them I'd just think "I've made a huge mistake"

[Madrun Badrun]

the back is weird.

I think this is a better leather chuck, the overall shape is much more appealing... Strap seems ... Unnecessary.

[Beezy]

ugh

[nudemacusers]

Leather chucks reminds me of the tuxedo tee shirt.

Anything is better than the awful canvas they use on those now.

Thems fightin' words, boy.

[nudemacusers]

Hey I mostly like them but Nike seems to have made a decision that they needed to be $50 and be made in 10 seconds or less.

[Mr. Gundam]

I buy a new pair every 18 months or so, so $50 is a bargain.

[nudemacusers]

Maybe I have acid feet, 6 months and the sidewall starts separating from the canvas. Nike blazers don't seem to have this issue for me, whatever the reason.

No it's not. If you start buying some well-made shoes you would save yourself a lot of money.

I own two pairs of Onitsukua Tigers which are fantastic, but I love my Chucks.

i've read that you dont want anything with white rubber souls and leather tops but im a idiot so who knows wat i know

...that makes no sense

No it's not. If you start buying some well-made shoes you would save yourself a lot of money.

well a lot of people get sticker shock when it comes to expensive clothing stuff... I could say emma hope is what chucks should be, and I have pairs that are almost 5 years old and still going strong, but a $300+ MSRP, or even $100, is not something most will want to swallow.

[nudemacusers]

Plus nicer things tend to, well, feel nicer. And that's a good thing.

[Mr. Gundam]

It's not a "nice things" thing or wanting to spend less. I've got expensive dress shoes for work that I value for their build quality and lifespan. I just genuinely like my black high top Chuck Taylor shoes. I don't know how hard that is to understand.

[Fifstar]

Got new Vans.

[Robo]

Chucks are far and away the most awful, uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn in my life.  Gotta keep it trendy, tho.

I have flat feet, so I think I'm immune to the pain of Chucks.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i'm going to the bar this weekend and im wondering what you guys wear to the bar so I can see waht I should wear?

I was thinking that cardigan and a regular unlogod unbranded t shirt or my plaid shirt and my vest. it's in a ski town so I won't look out of place in that.

[Cormacaroni]

i hate plaid shirts, don't think i've ever worn one. Not looking out of place is a good start but really you should be aiming to look like 20% better than everyone else. Try a regular button down shirt maybe

[nudemacusers]

Step it up and wear a collared shirt. Tees under cardis are for poor hipsters.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

hmmm thats a good idea. do I go with a tie?

[Cormacaroni]

I am anti-tie unless wearing a suit really but it's not impossible to carry it off if you're wearing nice stuff.

[nudemacusers]

Nah tie + cardi is a little fancy/prim... It can look good if you're paralleling black tie or formal aesthetics but it would look weird otherwise.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

ok thanks fellows.  can't wait to slay this.

[Madrun Badrun]

I should have said it is my personal rule for mensware. Black on black lacks pop, is overly conservative, and aesthetically bland. You only need look at the image you posted to see what I'm talking about.

Matching colors in general is pretty blah. To me it is hard to pull off without looking unoriginal. Use complementaries. That nicca in that pic is wearing a black suit with black tie and shoes. Lemme guess, also black socks? Zzz.

How about black suit, yellow shirt, blue tie, blue socks, brown shoes. Much better.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

  i thought it was dick tracy until i saw the pikaears 

[Shadow Mod]

hmmm thats a good idea. do I go with a tie?

No. A nice button down shirt can even be worn with some jeans too. It's sexy on dudes.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

thanks for all the advice guys. I got alot of attention last night, I instead ended up going for my plaid shirt and vest combo because its a Ski town. The ladies digged it 

[Dickie Dee]

I like J Crew. My favorite of the bigger stores

[Mupepe]

The code is good until April 7th.  I'm gonna grab that suit I think.

[nudemacusers]

j crew is weird. For the longest time they were sitting around banana republic level of blandness but in the last 5-6 years they have gone out of their way to court higher end customers and their products are a lot more cohesive and interesting across the board. Looks like JCPenney is trying to follow their lead a bit.

[CajoleJuice]

If you're built similiar to me, these things fit great off the rack.

[Phoenix Dark]

That's a nice deal, will jump on it this weekend

[Steve Contra]

Wait wtf.  IGNORE THIS POST

you can thank this man.

[naff]

I still don't own a suit that fits me. 6"6, bought a suit off the rack a while back, fit ok but its slight ill fitting aspects (especially the slightly too short pant cuffs and tight crotch) started to disgust me after a while and I decided it was better to wear fitting jeans/chinos, shirts and the blazer for work. Soon I will buy a nice tailored suit, best I've been able to find in my area (fashion+price wise) are these guys at $1300 http://crane-brothers.com/suits/  :'(

[nudemacusers]

6'6" is a bit outside of the normal rtw range, so yeah, you'll probably have to get a mtm suit. just don't look like an nba player

interesting. the dates line up almost exactly with what I remember. now look at the joke the gap is. heh.

I don't like the fit of the pants on those Thompson suits. 

[Robo]

I tried them on at the Factory outlet (if not those exactly, then one of their other cotton suit pants) and thought they were far too large around the leg.  You'll notice the non-Factory J.Crew suit pants are much, much slimmer.

[Cormacaroni]

i looked into indochino and it seems like a real crapshoot where you have to send the suit back at least once to have any hope of getting a good fit. Even then, the finished suits people posted shots of were far from impressive

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i can't decide what to wear to a local-ish university bar. should I wear a hoodie and a beanie, or my nice cardigan or my beautiful peacoat? i'd surely be outdressing everyone but it wouldn't be weird looking halp plz

[Beezy]

It's a university bar. Who cares.

[nudemacusers]

I think the rule is 'dress for the pussy you want, not the pussy you have'.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

i wnat some fine ass pussy niccas

then ball hard but prepare for people to assume you are a distinguished homosexual person

[MyNameIsMethodis]

dats fine i down with the cigarillo

[Robo]

Robo: Weird, fits my legs. I really thought you were going to say they were too slim.

What is this "too slim" thing you're referring to?  I don't understand the concept.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

were do you guys get your real cheap jeans from im too poor to afford some levis

[chronovore]

I remember for some reason quite a while ago Himu asking how to keep his collar from folding up under his jacket. I believe I told him to buy better shirts, or use starch. By "better shirts" I meant ones that included collar stays.

Even with "better shirts" and starch, sometimes I have a problem with collared shirts under v-neck sweaters. I get that problem of one collar in, one collar out, constantly having to adjust, etc.

Well, this looks like the perfect product for all of our collar needs:

Pretty ingenius idea, I'm ordering some as soon as I get home.

Edit: And if you don't have any shirts with collar stays, check out the Polo Stays on that site. I may end up getting some of those for my polos as well.

I'm liking these:

How is he supposed to be financing his wardrobe anyway

[nudemacusers]

funny you ask, his bond cardigan retails for 2k or so haha.

re: the jacket; is it oil cloth? looks way darker in your photo vs the stock image.

[nudemacusers]

ah. you never know with those stock images.
