    J Crew S/S 10 Discussion

    J Crew S/S 10 Discussion

    There's no way you're 130lb with a 38" chest unless you're 4feet tall. I'm 5' 7" with a 37.5" chest and I weigh 125 pounds. On another note, has anyone tried the Stanton Pants? Mine came in today, and I'm kind of disgusted. I've thrown pants out for looking this worn. I don't know if they're...

    General Athletic Build Thread

    I just checked that out, and it seems you're right that, at least according to a lot of the pictures on their site, they do have a nice taper to them. What got me though is the fact that EVERYTHING is stamped aggressively with logos.

    Yes, and what does that even mean? I believe there are two so it's double the hideousness. There are dozens of different styles, and you can get them in basic colors... how on earth can a solid colored sock be ugly?

    @Jake8078... Did you get the new model 405, if so where? I just bought the Indy 405 Chrome Excel from Shoemart but there was a price increase to $450. I'm wondering if you paid for the older version but got the higher quality. Please post pics if you can... As promised. ~$310 out the door.

    Which smartwool socks do you like....so many to choose from.... https://www.smartwool.com/default.cfm#/Mens/Socks/ I know it's a vague answer but, it depends on what you're going for. I do long distance backpacking, so I own everything from their thickest performance weight down to their...

    I wear boot socks with mine...Smartwool to be exact. I do that with all my boots and size them accordingly. +1 Smartwool with EVERYTHING. I don't own any other brand socks anymore.

    Pick up my first pair of Indy Boots today. They're my first pair of footwear that I've paid over $100 for, and my feet feel like they're being hugged by angels. I was surprised that they have leather lining, as on the website it says it's some kind of duck cloth. I bought some Alden "neutral"...

    The Uniqlo in New York

    I've been searching and I'm having trouble finding accurate information on Uniqlo sizing. I'm between an XS and a S in J. Crew and most American sizes. Most XS's are too tight and S is often a little too big. Same goes with Banana Republic, etc. H&M Slim Fit in Small usually fits me well...

    The Uniqlo in New York

    They still have a whole bunch of button-front shirts. I picked up 3 oxfords in xs and going back tomorrow for a couple other things. Thanks Cookz, sweaters?

    The Uniqlo in New York

    BOOO! Even sweaters and stuff!? I'm looking to buy mostly button-downs and sweaters. Not really interested in blazers or coats. Been starting a fresh wardrobe and trying to build upon my "basics". Anyone else with 'intel'? I gotta make go/no-go a decision tonight. I'm a S or XS...

    The Uniqlo in New York

    Because of all the new stuff that's supposedly coming out on Jan 14th, is a lot of their stock low / depleted right now? I'm asking because I live in CT and am thinking of making a pilgrimage to Soho with the intent of going to uniqlo tomorrow.
