Ultimate noob thread - recommend me X in my wardrobe - post questions here please.

[EazyWeazy3]

Can someone recommend me some good jeans for a reasonable price?

Nothing more than say $100. Not baggy but not tight around the ankles.

Yes. Or any of the other far less expensive similar styles that have been around for decades

For basics I don't think you can beat Uniqlo in the UK. Then again I don't buy many basics.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a few peices to round out my wardrobe. Problem is I am in Canada and there is a severe lack of online store at which to shop online for fair prices.

I need a pair of casual shoes. I like the Clarks Desert Boots as well as the Sperry Top Sider Chukkas though I am concerned these were a bit too "last season". I also need a pair of black dress shoes that are work appropriate. I like wingtips but same concern as above though my budget is considerably more for these. These are nice but the non-black sole is a deal breaker: http://www.gravitypope.com/product-detail.php?id=12295|8.

I need advice and recommendations on where to find the above. Thanks in advance!!!

Four Horsemen, a forum affiliate, is located in Canada and carries both Clarks desert boots and Sperrys I believe. Check them out.

The online store seems to be down at the moment. But thanks for the tip.

 

[BossTweed]

Just call or email to order something.

Which should I get? Consider - they're both the same price, $30. BUT, the gap one I've got right here in front of me and can fit on and it works, the Uniqlo one I'd be buying off a SF member and have never tried on Uniqlo before, so no real return policy. Is it nicer and worth the risk? GAP:

UNIQLO:

I personally like Gap much better.

unqlio is a western

gap is a utility shirt of sorts... two completely different styles

I need to find plain tshirts, Some good skinny Jeans brands for men, and some kicks. Ive been looking at getting the Nike Sb stefan janoski in tan, or a pair of the hundreds low tops in grey...any other recommendations? And what are some good sites to buy from?
