Those are awesome. Are they a khaki color?

They're tan. It was a weird/great find; I was in a local skate/surf shop, Sitka (they have their own product line so give 'em a peep), (which is now part coffee shop) that I don't usually visit very often. Glad I decided to drop in today. I had never heard of Rokin before, but now they're definitely on my radar. The shoes feel great.

I think they're supposed to be women's, but they look unisex (edit: they're unisex, but women's sizes). Between these and the grey women's Nike boots I posted some pages back, I think I might be a lot more open to trying out women's shoes, especially due to my small feet.

Question: with a thin, white button-up shirt if I skip the undershirt, my nipples show. If I wear an undershirt, the sleeves show. What should I do? Maybe there's like, a 'nude' colored undershirt?

edit: some places say to wear a light gray undershirt and it will blend in with my skin. My skin is not gray, so I am skeptical. I am white with light-ish skin.

Maybe I should just avoid getting shirts that thin? Sucks when buying online.

Tanktops.

I need some new shoes, so looking at the Jack threads page. I saw these. Colourful enough, but not really the horrendous looking type.

2nd question, if anyone is good with jeans. Are any of the ones on sale at that site good? I've never bought a pair of pants online, but would like one other pair in my rotation. It was either that or go to the Mall next weekend.

What do you guys think of this for an office job or for an interview for such a role?

Did some random store browsing today and I think I might have found my jacket for fall...although it's difficult to justify buying it now in the current weather, haha.

Bought a pair of 511 Levis, damn I didn't know my balls would hurt after sitting :X

I generally wear grey vans. So I usually wear a grey vneck under my button up. I typically wear black, white, or grey vnecks under any button ups depending on color. But, if you're wanting something to match ur skin where a nude colored shirt. But for your colored skin.. have you tried pink tshirt? it's not a bad color underneath a button up

Anyone have a suggestion for eyewear fashion? I'm tired of seeing all these people w Ray Ban's. Is this trendy? In black or black/crystal color?

I'm 5'8" come at me bro.


Feels just right.

Man, I'm 5'8" and I feel short. But, people just one inch taller look tall as sh**

Don't forget a tie bar!

Noob question: What is the purpose of tie bars? Are they just an accesory to the tie?

I like those glasses. How come there are no prices?

You can also look into Moscot for that vintage look http://www.moscot.com/

They hold the tie in place

Ah, I hadn't considered that. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Personally I like the look. Not 100% sold on the tie, but the color is great imo. I need a matte belt like that.

Skinny jeans wearers, what do you with your wallets?
I haven't used my wallet since january when I first bought a pair of slim jeans. My wallet is too big now and doesn't fit in my pocket. Is there something like a super slim basic wallet?

[Boken]

You don't like ass pockets or something?
Maybe get a manpurse?

 

[Alucrid]

back pocket

I stopped using a wallet a while back even though (also partially due to the fact that) I only had a few things in it. I've been thinking about getting some type of money clip or something but for the moment I just keep my license/debit card/cash in my front pocket and anything else I keep in my chrome or messenger bag.

Really just got tired of sitting on the damn thing.

 

[Revoh]

Manpurse? hell no.
I don't really use back pockets, feels insecure.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Just get a simple thin card wallet.

Or do what I do and put out a Craigslist ad for someone to carry it for you.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

No.

May I ask why?

 

[mooooose]

Has anyone here ever screen printed? I haven't. I have a couple ideas for a brand, conceptually, but not many designs or where to go with it. I really think, conceptually, I'm on to something good. At least I will find it interesting and fun. I do have one idea in mind for a t-shirt. I do not know how to screen print. I would only like to do about 20 shirts and give them to friends.

I have. We did the method of printing out the design on that clear paper, using a lightbulb to burn it into some special paste on the screen then just wiping the ink through the screen onto the shirt.

 

[kevo_huevo]

May I ask why?

shirt and pants are fine. the tie is acceptable once you get the job. for an interview, be more conservative. but personally, im not feeling that tie.

Bought one of these cardholders before they got popular and jacked the prices up. Depending on how tight your jeans are you might want something smaller though, I love the size though.

Great, I'll check that out. Thanks

Oh, that makes sense.. I'll definitely need to get me one of those.

At first that's what I thought, except I thought they were a pen sitting there for convenience, lmao

Like Wolfe, I no longer carry a wallet. Money and essential cards (ID, debit) go in my front pocket.

As for slim wallets, you can get a credit card holder, which is basically leather with a pocket on each side. They aren't meant for your back pocket though, as they provide no support to keep cards from bending and eventually cracking. Just stick everything in your front pocket.

don't listen to the rest.
anyone calling it man purse is immature.
there are agressive, yet minimal and beautiful bags out there.

otherwise, of course there exist thin wallets.
keep looking.

Eww, that tie is horrid. The shirt/pants are obviously fine, but that outfit would look miles better with a gray wool slim tie or something.

Hah, it's well made stuff tho.

If you prefer, when I'm at burning man next year I'll bury it with some urine and wait a few years before diggin it up

[redacted.]

but yeah, that would be nice.. actually thought today about doing it..

 

[Revoh]

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Edit: I like these http://www.mightywallets.com/

 

[shintoki]

So anyone have a recommendation for some nice shoes then? I figure something with a bit of colour would be nice, but I don't know much. I'm not a fan though of the ultra bright ones that look like clown shoes.

I guess I'd just like some casual ones.

Picked up some Timberland Lost History chukkas at Nordstrom's today for almost 50% off. I'm pretty excited as I needed some new shoes for the Fall.

I've been needing to pick up shoes too. So, I'll be keeping an eye on your post and whoever responds to it.

 

[Alucrid]

Maybe look at Seavees for some relatively cheap sneaker options.

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

The tie is pretty bad, but the shirt and trousers work, especially if you're fit like that dude. Otherwise, I would caution against the slim fit.

Tommy Hilfiger Mens Logan Jacket
Yay or nay?
As I said in an earlier post, I have 100$ for a jacket, this fits my budget but I don't know if the jacket is any good.

 

[freenudemacusers]

The shape... Not so hot. Look into a Fred Perry Harrington
