Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

Yeah, real python. Barney's says they can't even ship them to CA due to their laws about that stuff.

Which makes 'em even more baller status. Buybuybuy.

I think it's too nipped at the waist; the arms could be cut smaller for how slim it fits. But it seems like it probably looks very nice in person, which is why I can't fault you for picking it. I think the cut almost demands something "runway" - narrow shoes, slim trousers, etc.

Both those belts are good, but I like the black one more. The grey one may be natural but it doesn't look like it.

That is one of the things I like about it. You know who made it by looking at the design, not the label. It is unmistakeable.

It is a striking jacket, which doesn't come through fully in the grainy, low-light iphone photos. The cut is the main thing, but the fabric also has an interesting, subtle weave. It is definitely right for someone; I can't decide if it is for me.

It is full price so I probably have some time to make a decision.

It is pretty nice and can easily be had at 40 off if you want it in another couple of months.

 

[Razele]

It's good.

I would grab it but I have a different aesthetic for work.

sperrys..60 bucks..not sure if there is a better alternative around the same price

I need a boot I can wear regularly to school (alternate with my db's/sneakers), and preferably something I can dress up with for going out sometimes too. Will be worn with my AW cougars and a slim pair of raw denim to be determined. These APCs caught my eye, and I'd rather keep it around $500 than move into $700 territory for the w+h boots. yay or nay?

 

[jet]

^no, get indys if you want that style

 

[Mossy]

definitely not set on a particular style. with that said, do you have any other recommendations in the $400-$700 price range? thx

There are a lot of nice Alden boots in that range, check out Alden of Carmel and Leather Soul.

really you cant think that out for yourself?it is a gray v neck sweater with a little gold eagle on it. i don know the rest of your wardrobe, the rest of your personal style, so I dont know. im sure you can figure out whether a heather grey v neck sweater would fit into your wardrobe. My guess is yes but who knows I may be wrong and you could be dressing like uncontrol. EDIT: sorry i just read that again and I realized how mean that sounded.I just got back home and I am pretty messed up so i am sorry. but really why can't you figure that out by yourself. this is the part of sf that pisses me off.

If you really want them wait for sale time, but I agree with Jet Alden Indy's are a better buy for the price and style.
