BGOL SARTORIALISTS: A thread

It's hard to beat a pair of chinos with an OCBD (oxford-cloth button down).

That's pretty much my spring/summer go to. Chinos (pants & shorts) and OCBD's. If you rock with the chinos check out the bonobos...between those and polo that's mostly all I wear during the Spring. Slim fit in the pants and 9" inseam in the shorts.
 
been going on about 2 years now.
its in line with the whole fitted clothes thing and yea... its on some take a look at my socks/shoes.

compared to back in the day wearing wide leg jeans rolled up and still dragging on the floor picking up all the garbage and dirt...

this is a step up.

Honestly I prefer it. The slim fit look is just so much better especially when you're in shape. There's nothing worse than a pair of pants that fit around the thighs but are 3 sizes too big from the knee down and cover up your shoes. Especially when you're sporting some nice joints like AE's, Haans or some nice loafers.

:yes:
 
Thanks. I just have a mental block against spending more than $250 on a pair of shoes. I saw a pair for $1650 an Neiman Marcus yesterday.

Feel you on that. Saw some nice kicks when I was in London, but was like fuck the price. :smh:
 
I have quite a few of them. The Neumoks, longwings, strands, loafers, players and the Daltons in Walnut. Shoe trees for every pair.:lol: Fuck that, for that much those bitches are going to LAST.

I know what you mean. I just got back from the city, letting my AE loafers air out for a bit, wipe them down a little and in go the shoe trees.

Gonna share a good find with the fam.


Meermin shoes. http://www.meermin.es/home.php (you can switch to English at the bottom)



Getting great reviews. Great value for $200 shipped from Spain.

I have these on the way!

Love the fact that they are handmade but can't pull the trigger on non-leather bottoms at that price.

Their only leather bottoms are the Cordovan's (horse hide) ones. Which are probably triple the price.
 
If you're gonna buy jeans may as well get raw denim

After all of these years I'm just learning this from last year and just really learning how to take care of denim.

I used to throw my jeans in the wash after every 1 or 2 wears, throw them shits in the dryer on super hot, then fold them shits and wonder why they fade so fast.

Throw some links for raw denim. I'm on the look out for some Japanese stiff Raw shit.

The only brands I'm up on are
PRPS
Nudie
Levi's
 
Okay fellas:

Need advice on a destination wedding attire for a groom.

So far I know the standard pants are normally linen of some form, but how about a decent white shirt?

The look I'm going for is a white long sleeve shirt, brown pants, and some brown driver slip ons.

So this is a tropical destination?

Never even knew about raw denim

Will they stain white sneakers? or other items? Can you go out in the rain?

Don't recommend wearing white shoes with them initially lol...a lot of people don't wash raw denim, they either put them in the freezer or the oven to kill any scent they may have. The whole thing with raw denim is to let them adjust to you and that'll never happen if you wash/dry em.

I have a couple of pair of these. You don't have to go that expensive but they hold patterns well once you break em in.

Too many choices. Whats the different between single pleat, double pleat, reverse double etc. Too confusing

That's the whole point of custom. In order to get them they way you want them, they offer everything.

You can just choose no pleats, with jean pockets for a regular jean. It's not that complicated.

Cuffs or no cuffs, your choice.
