how do the skinnies fit compared to levi's 510/511?
I've only ever had 501s and 511s, but to compare to 511s, their skinnies are definitely slimmer. Not sure how snug you like your jeans, but it's super stretchy and you might even be able to size down one.
I usually look for jeans/pants with elastane. Makes them stretchy. Not to sound like an AE salesman, but they have stretch jeans and joggers.
Levi's also has jeans made for "athletic" builds. I'd check those too.
Aight, I don't mess with AE because a lot of their clothes don't fit me or don't look good on me, but I'll check Levi's
First wings and horns jumper came today and I'm a convert. Amazing knitwork and structure.

The slim dungarees are Outlier's best and most popular pants but they're pretty similar to the 511 cut afaik. They have the measurements up on the page if you want to check. I would get them tailored — it's my favorite outlier pant.
Two words: stretch fabric. I don't wear skinny jeans but joggers these days are very much built with stretchy fabrics. That make it real easy to wear even if you have big thighs.

the only reason I wear skinny jeans is because my legs are so skinny they make slim jeans look baggy ¯\_(ツ

I'm looking for skinnier than 511's (specifically when it comes to the taper from the knee down) but not quite as skinny as the 510's.
Levi's 512's fit great on me but I want dark indigo and the 512's only come in black, lightwash, and a bunch of other wacky colors I don't like.
fuck I double posted

Dang that looks great
And yeah, I could always just get them tapered. I'm tempted to get both and just see how they fit. I wish they had any physical locations though
Levi's 541 athletic line is a godsend. Always having been a bigger guy with large thighs/calves/butt, I usually had to size up or get relaxed (aka sloppy) looking jeans. 541's fit me great and look awesome.

they are indeed returning in the fall. get your $90 ready.
(you can also get them for a little more on ebay/grailed if you don't want to wait, i expect their resale prices to go down quite a bit now that we know they're coming back)

They also come in navy, tan and black. I only used the pink as an example.

Speaking of watches, I was thinking of treating myself to a dress watch.
Currently eyeing this one...but can anyone recommend something similar. Smallish watch face, black leather strap, classic design.

In speaking of Oxford shoes, what would you guys suggest pairing these with?
I own navy blue, and dark grey F&O chinos and a ton of buttoni up shirts. Can Oxfords be worn with more casual attire or nah?

^Based on the lacing, that's a Derby shoe, not an Oxford. Technically, Oxfords are dressier. You could easily dress down the shoes you posted.
Meh. Just an OK price. i'm not too hot on the last (weird/bland looking square too) and final sale is a no from me. Check Meermin for GYW or Beckett Simonon for Blake welt.Massdrop has these Loake Oxford dress shoes for $274.99
I don't think this price is special for UK folks but how about for someone trying to get them in North America?

they're my favorites for casual wear. heard good things about wolf v goat but haven't tried them yet. i'd also add wings + horns and norse projects.

I'm thinking of getting a Apple Watch 38mm Series 1. Should I go with Space Grey or Silver? Also, are steel mesh bands tacky? Debating between a steel mesh, nato or a dark brown or dark blue leather strap.

Watch box update, just two spots left!
Buy a proper watch mane!
Def the bottom strap, but I wouldn't wear a smart watch if you paid me.

If you are going to get an Apple Watch and not spring for stainless then get the silver aluminum one. It can at least look a little classy.
The stainless steel and black stainless look amazing in person though.
I really want an Apple Watch but I can't stand it being square. Call me when they make a round version.

I just don't get it, why would you want a phone like thing on your wrist when your phone is right there in your pocket? It's a needless extension imo and it's just a dull square box on your wrist, it's a pretty sleek device I guess but it's hardly stylish.
Wear an actual watch to quickly check the time and as a fashion accessory, I think smart watches just make you look like a bit of a gimp tbh.

I have two good quality Citizen Eco-Drives. I want a Junkers Bauhaus watch like this, but it's almost $600 USD (pics courtesy of Reddit):

Nice nice, I like it. Love the Bauhaus aesthetic.
I really want a Junghans Max Bill, super slick and minimalist watch (it's so slim too):
I'd definitely go for a light tan strap on one of these though, I don't have a white faced watch in the collection yet either.

I really want to try on the chronograph version of this but I'm scared it might be too large for me.
If you like that style but want something made better I suggest Uniform Wares. I don't own one buy a friend has one and it uses quality components.

What's a nice looking cheap watch that doesn't make loud ticking noises? I was gonna buy a Timex Weekender but then I realized it becomes quite a distraction in quiet rooms.

a digital watch tbh
Those are niiice, gonna grab a pair of the cement, or charcoal. Would love to hear how they fit before i take the plunge as UK shipping is gonna hurt
Got my pair yesterday. Havent worn them outside, but they fit like a dream. Craftmanship is amazing, but i already knew that going in since i have 2 other pair of joggers from Zanerobe. I thank the day i discovered this brand. They are true to size, and i bought the size 29.
A very slight stretch to them, something like 2% elastine, so even if you buy a size that is perfect fit, and the next day you gain 3-5lbs, it won't be uncomfortable. Also it invisible on the black i ordered, but since these are tapered pants, this elastic patch on the bottom on the pants is a really nice touch. You can see it on the grey marle edition.
I will definitely be looking into other colors like the cement, but they are expensive, so i try not to go crazy with them, and spread out my purchases more.
Hope this helps

Hmm, I like the face but that strap looks ridiculously out of proportion. Where are the lugs? It kind of looks like a photoshop, lol.

It seems to be out of stock most places, it was a gift from a GF a couple of years ago. Nice watch though, it wears really well and is surprisingly versatile for such a bold design.
(The one in the link has a metal strap, mine is rubber.)

I've heard that Pistol Lake's henleys are amazing. They're made in the USA and they're pretty reasonably priced, only thing is they're on backorder right now so if you buy one you won't get it until the first week of April.

Reigning Champ is legit. They're my default for sweatshirts and hoodies. Wings + Horns is great too.
I have limited experience with Wolf vs Goat, but they seemed great. I received 2 free pairs of chinos from them (the head of the brand posted about giving away some old product on styleforum some years ago). They quality of the paints was awesome, but they were a straight leg and I had them tapered. Unfortunately they were tapered too much and while they fit perfectly in the waist at the time, when I put some mass on around my waist and legs, they became too tight.
