I found this pic of the hoodie in WYWNT. It looks slim-ish (maybe a bit drapey in parts), but definately not as slim as some of the W&H hoodies.

Should I cut my (once) Raw 510s into shorts, or this still the cliche hipster pitchfork reading douchebag look? They've faded alright- but I got a new pair of Diors so my APCs can now take over the beater jean role.

Looks pretty good. Could probably be slimmer in the shoulders/arms. Whats the price tag? Might be better off with a w+h hoodie

Don't understand this at all. W+H doesn't make any hoodies remotely like that one.

Unless you really have your heart set on it, don't do it man. Get real shorts. Jorts can be rocked nicely, but it takes a pretty specific style.

I have a W&H hoodie and it is great. I thought that the Schneider might be sufficiently different (in fit and fabric) that it would be worth having around. The Schneider is on sale, and at the sale price it is comparable to W&H.

It's chambray and I don't think I've seen this done? I could be wrong but yes/no? It is $58 but I'd wait for a sale.

What do you guys think? J & M at about $90

or O'Connell's at about $150

I see absolutely no reason to spend $60 on the pair with the slight black ring as opposed to the pair with the black ring. I'd stick with the J & M's, noone will notice a difference.

Red wing GTs in black? Could use a pair of darker boots for wear with black tones; would probably prefer burgundy, would probably prefer more hiking style than work style, BUT GTs are nice too and the price is right.

Stolen pic, I'd buy new ones.
