Most boots with tall shafts (6" or 8" or more) will have side zips, otherwise just unlace them until they go on, deal with it

They look beat, but if you are getting them for a good deal then it might be worth it.

Idk if I'd say they're beat, they got some normal to-be expected creasing but besides that

So much nitpicking on this forum.

I think they're great, wear them in good health.

Look at and feel the shirts in poplin and make sure the textures feel natural with jeans. Ocbds get worn with jeans because they have a similarly rough texture, anything too smooth will look completely out of place (one of the reasons the white Van Heusen bd with baggy levis look is so repulsive).

Buy good chinos and then we can have this conversation.

And I don't know what is going on with those shirts. If you need a place to keep cigarettes you should just buy a shirt with a front pocket; if you need a place to keep bullets you should invest in a good bandolier.

yeah, i didnt think it would be a good match with jeans. i have some metallic kva pants that i would wear with these(i think the match might be ok) but i dont want to do black on black. also dont want to limit the shirt to one pair of pants as jeans are the daily wear.

but i def. see your point!!

I really think KVC ought to re-consider.

I found these Steve Madden boots online.. they retail for $100 and I think they look pretty good. I want to get boots for this season and my budget is about $100, I'm not sure if Steve Madden is SF approved but if they last me thru the fall and winter I'd get some value out of them.

why would you pay 100 dollars for ****** boots that last one season when you could pay 250 for good boots that will last ten years?
