OK, let's say I am going to have four pairs of shoes ONLY.

I have Thorogood Boots, black captoes, and brown longwings.

What would be THE fourth pair that I MUST have? Cannot be sneakers as I need to be able to wear to the office. Should ideally be versatile but not boring.

SVB, buy something fun.

+1 Why does every single pair of nice shoes you own have to be meant for the office? Why not buy a fun pair of sneakers priced at the same as a pair of Aldens? but if you have to, get a pair of suede bucks, red sole, and color you want (eg caramel?)

+2. Get something fun for the PM and the weekend! Mix it up a bit there SVB like scott, et al.

Anyone ever had trouble returning items to Brooks Brothers? Thinking about avoiding the shipping fee and taking it in to a local shop. Not sure when I will have time though and the website doesn't seem to have a time limit on their return policy. Safe to assume they'll take the return as long as it is unworn/unaltered etc etc.?

I know what it's supposed to be but I always read your SN as "ghetto asty"

gettoasty · Apr 27, 2011

do you know BB return policy btw? you seem to have a lot of shirts

StanleyVanBuren · Apr 28, 2011

No, I'm sorry, I'm of no help... I would be shocked if they didn't take it though. Plenty of places will take returns in-store for merch purchased online. If BB doesn't, they're idiots.

you need a pair of sneakers. some nice (cp, mj, whatever) non-weird canvas ones would probably suit you well. maybe this in white or grey?

Ok, this was basically what I was thinking. I actually do have a pair of Bass suede bucks with the red brick sole and this probably cements their status in my rotation. I guess they are a pretty good go-to summer shoe.

Oh, nice -- I actually like these a lot. The grey ones look great. I have some Keds sneakers but I'm leaning heavily towards getting rid of them because the soles are way too thin. These don't seem to have that problem.

my friend has a pair, they are pretty nice and substantial. definitely worth the money. kind of tempted on the greys for low key wear myself. there is also this:

Is there an official SW&D Vegas thread? I've looked around for a bit and couldn't find one. Can I start one without getting flamed?

If you have a receipt, you will get your full money back (less shipping).
If you don't have a receipt, you will get store credit.

That. is. it.

You can wear the **** out of it and bring it back for a full refund. Do note that there is a date on each shirt (born date), so they will check that if you don't have a receipt. If your receipt is anywhere within reason 1 year or less, they won't even bother to inspect the shirt.

I brought back 6 Brooks Broothers slim fit shirts the other day because I found... Gitman...and I got $400 back, no questions asked. Don't feel bad, they outsource the shirts to Malaysia and make them in gigantic batches--probably costs them $2-3 a shirt, if that.

Anyone with acne experience know what model these are? Interested in other white jean rec's too. Looking for something similar to a petit standard fit. Thanks.

+1 BB is pretty excellent about returning goods.
