I have looked at everything from James Perse to Calvin Klein and American Apparel, but they are all slightly off in either
fit, construction, or lack of colors. So I was wondering what the experienced people turn to in this situation.

Doesn't help, but I usually buy American Apparel.

Have you tried sunspel?

If you're looking for a casual shoe that will go with more stuff, I would suggest a derby. Most penny loafers and saddle shoes that I've seen don't go well with jeans.

I've heard good things about Oak Street shoemakers. Yuketen is also in your price range.

yea i figured. but the rancourt and and oakstreet i posted will do fine with shorts.

anyone can attest to the sperry? eventhouhg i know its not that much approved in sf.
but thats the only one i tried on before and it was comfortable especially the insolde(foam).

i do wish i have enough to get the oaskstreet natural boot .

This question is meaningless without you explaining or showing us what your style is. If we don't know how you dress, how can we suggest a good standard tshirt for your looks?

What are some ridiculously heavyweight oxford shirts? I'm thinking stuff that can be considered the "Iron Heart" of shirting. Stuff that will actually require breaking in and is durable as heck.

Why does this simple looking Junya raincoat retail for over $2000? http://www.mrporter.com/product/334048

Is there something about the construction I'm not seeing? I mean, I've seen designer markups before, but wow... how did he get this sort of pricing power?

Any recommendations for some long tanks or tees other than Robert Geller? Basically anything that I can use for a cock bib.

Good point. Without any fit pics lying around, I usually wear raw jeans, boots and occasionally a leather jacket.
All I really want is a 100% cotton, slim fit, well constructed shirt that can be worn in about every situation, even the dressed up Michael Kors style if need be

Rick Owens practically invented the cock bib, but that's even more dear than Geller.

COS has some nice cuts, and the price means, much like jeans, you won't give a fuck if they get beat up.

Oak Street Bootmakers.  Have their loafers and camp boots and love both.  They just put out a Trench Boot that is a sick boot option but I would look at their trail oxfords.  Also look at Yuketen and Quoddy in that price range.  For 200 on eBay you can buy 2 pairs of Oak Street shoes, one pair of Quoddy blouchers for $140, or Yuketen oxfords for $160.  Find something that you like and then get some more opinions in the should I buy this thread.

I was actually looking at the wool leisure trousers the other day - but i thought they'd wear more like pyjamas than jeans.
