    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF MAY 11, 2015

    On my quest to find the perfect casual shoes I've become a fan of driving Mocs. I understand the nub sole isn't designed for walking around on pavement. Any good alternatives to the nub sole? I like the Tods style or even a penny strap loafer. The drivers I've seen with rubber soles are...

    Please help me pick a good versatile shoe for travel.

    Bumping this thread rather then starting a new one. The penny loafers are working out great. Perfect for the casual / smart look I'm going for. Only issue is these things are a bit uncomfortable for walking around all day. I'm tired of living in hard bottom shoes. Besides sneakers for the...

    Please help me pick a good versatile shoe for travel.

    Thanks for the comment. I'm enjoying them so far. I was just a bit surprised when I first saw them. I requested classic style penny loafers and I pointed to something similar on the wall. This is what he came up with... I was expecting something more like the Aldens posted earlier in this...

    I had these loafers made in Bangkok. What do you think? Not sure how I feel about the wrinkled up leather look. Gives it a casual moccasin look which is ok for my needs I guess. Wearing them with Levis 513 today. [/IMG][/IMG] Rather then start a new thread I'll just ask this here. Have any of...

    What do you think about this watch for $70?

    I'm looking for a clean and classy watch for under $100. Something dress casual. I walked past this one today at the local mall. It's about $70. I think it has a clean face and I love how thin it is. Can't stand when my shirt cuffs get stuck on a watch. What do you think? Can I do...

    Navy Boat Shoes. What color laces?

    Thanks for the replies. OK so boat shoes are no good with pants... I have a pair of penny loafers on the way so I can always rock those with my pants. I don't wear shorts much... But when I do, I'd like something a step up from flip flops. Penny loafers seem too formal for shorts. People do...

    Navy Boat Shoes. What color laces?

    Thanks for the reply. Those look nice. I never really liked boat shoes until I tried them on. Super comfortable and they look good. What's the general consensus on when to wear them? I was thinking only with khaki pants/ shorts close to the beach. 90% of the time I'm a five minute walk to...

    Navy Boat Shoes. What color laces?

    I want a pair of boat shoes for summer days by the beach. I figure they are a good alternative to flip flops. Navy looks sharp and I think it's a good contrast to my collection of brown shoes. They offer brown or white laces. Which do you prefer? The brown is safe, but the white with light...

    Good choices there. I just tried on a pair of tan suede bucks and damn they looked great. The suede is beautiful but I'm hesitant to buy since I'm always splashing through disgusting puddles of mysterious filth out here. I literally hose off my shoes when I get home. Here's a quick update...

    Still waiting on your suggestion... I appreciate the comments but please show me an example of something that's ter1413 approved OK? Thanks everyone. OK dark brown cordovan penny loafers for the win. Didn't see anything I liked today. Tomorrow the hunt continues... Rainy season in 'Nam so...

    Thanks... I doubt I will find any of those exact shoes where I am currently (Vietnam) but I'm getting some ideas for styles... I can find something that "looks" like those. Gotcha. So dudes rockin the penny loafers can still get laid and if I buy a pair I wont instantly go bald and grow a...

    Cool thanks! I'm heading to the store now to look around. Have a good weekend everyone.

    I appreciate your time. Are you saying dark brown horse bit loafers are trendy and douchey? I thought they were considered a classic. I just thought they had a bit more flash then the penny loafers.

    Please help me pick a good versatile shoe for travel.

    Thanks for the reply and I appreciate the suggestion. Those penny loafers are OK I guess. I just find all penny loafers safe and boring. I guess that is the purpose of them... Reminds me of when I was 9 years old and my mom would drag me to church. Just looking at other options. My local shop...

    I'd love some suggestions. Having a hard time warming up to any of the loafers I'm seeing.

    Thank you sir. I will try to find some loafers that appeal to me. I definitely don't like the ankle skin exposed look. I'd wear socks for sure.

    OK guys thanks again for all your guidance. I think I've made up my mind and just wanted to run it by whoever reads this. I am liking the looks of a brown wingtip like this. Again these will be worn with dark blue jeans and occasionally a dark navy blue suit. Look good? Should I opt for the...

    Can I wear a tailored dress shirt untucked with nice pair of dark blue jeans? Also wearing black slip on dress shoes. This is my Friday night douche bag outfit. Please critique.

    Thanks a lot guys! I will look into all of these options now. I must admit I've never owned brown shoes before... They strike me as grandpa style and too casual for a night out on the town. But of course, I don't know anything that's why I'm here. My jeans are dark blue and black. Well fitted...
