EA, I'm not digging the argyle, but otherwise it's pretty nice.

I seem to have a lot of navy colored outerwear and I often feel that it doesn't go so well with dark denim. A possible solution?


these are much darker IRL, I'm not sure why the Farinelli's pic makes them look so light. They're only a little bit lighter than APCs in my experiences. They're definitely still dark denim. Of course, you could always wash them once or twice to lighten them up.

Agreed. Sorry, OP. (especially the first pair)

ugh got excited then realized it was sold out online and "flagship exclusive" (only at a few of the largest volume stores, none of which are in my town

)

What mall stores aren't shipping? I've had no problems with send sales from different stores, mall stores included. Have you tried contacting someone about that?

161$ on context seems like ok price? dont have any black solid shirts.

I have one and it's actually more grey than it is black.

Mine was waiting for me when I got back and it is definately more grey than black. However, I'll confirm firsthand that this is a very nice piece, typical EG detailing and fabrics and heavy enough to take a beating, thicker fabric for the cooler months ahead, and good for layering. I'd pick it up without hesitation if I were you.

I don't really wear trainers much at all anymore, but I'm really drawn to these. Any opinions? I know people generally don't like this sort of thing around here, but I think they're a pretty classic design.

I'm thinking about getting a vest in a workwear-type style, considering a few options.

Filson wool mackinaw:
filson-wool-vest-242x300.png

In either grey or charcoal, not sure which is better. If anybody can comment on the fit, that would be nice. Seems like maybe the best value for a vest of this type.

Creep by Hiroshi Awai:

A little more fancy (it has a tuxedo-style striped shirt-fabric back), almost too precious, but I rather like it (especially the wooden buttons) and it's not terribly expensive.

Shades of Greige:

Not as nice and kinda overpriced, but it has the advantage of a quilted lining.

Our Legacy:

I really liked how this one looked in the lookbook, but on the model in this shot it looks kinda cheap (and is kinda pricey).

Wings & Horns quilted chambray:

I like this one a lot but the price is fairly ridiculous.

Hey guys, Trying to keep my belongings down to a minimum. I got my peacoat, denim, basics and boots in order, but I wanted to see if this shirt would be worth it. This is an Obey chambray shirt that came out this year. It costs about $72 dollars out the door. http://www.turntablelab.com/box-scor...168/75419.html

Should I go for this one or get the Epaulet blue chambray instead? Want a piece that I can switch up between my Chino's and denim with my commando boots or brown work boot. Hoping to keep it simple with 1 shirt for this season and layer it up.

Hoping something that's flexible with these:
