Just bought some Clark's Desert Boots in beeswax (actually the Bushacre 2s), when I tried them on they fit ok but I had thin socks, trying them around the house now with some thick ones and they're really tight, really narrow. I've done some searches and it seems like they'll stretch but I guess I need some reassurance. The left one is ok but the right is cutting off circulation, but then next size up had too much room in the toe box. I have a hard time buying shoes because I often need a wide....

Anyone able to give me advice in sizing for a Margiela 5 Zip? I'm looking at one in a Euro 50 and wondering how that compares to the fit of something like the Barbour Commander Jacket (only other jacket I own). The seller has the pit to pit measured at 23", which seems far too large for that size.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for a pair of moleskin pants with volume in the thigh and a taper below the knee. Ideally in a green, sage, beige or warm grey/ brown color.

Any ideas?

Yea sorry for the ramble. Will they stretch or do I need to return and find a different brand?

I don't see why they wouldn't, but if the right side is cutting off your circulation, then I would try to find something else.

Hi,
Planning to get someone a gift who is about to graduate medical school. Was thinking a messenger bag so he can toss the backpack he's been wearing for 8 years and start looking more professional.

Being a college student going through some financially trying times right now, I absolutely cannot spend more than 80 dollars before shipping on this (preferably under 80 including shipping). Initially wanted to get the brown leather kenneth cole "come-bag-home" bag which was on sale on amazon.com but they don't ship to Canada and seemingly no decent leather messenger bag company ships to Canada for a reasonable price. Amazon.ca is lacking as it always is compared to .com so once again no help there either.

So I'm thinking I can't go for a leather bag, so I must go for canvas...which I don't like but I guess I have no choice. Does this kind of bag suffice for canvas? It's under 80 dollars. Budget is strict, I cannot move above 80. Thanks



This is another I was looking at. It claims to be "hard" canvas which I don't understand the meaning of. Let me know what you guys think about these 2 bags and if I could go for any of them. Thanks.

Budget and location?

Located in Canada and I'd like to stick to around $250 or less but open to suggestions outside of that too

Hey - what is this style of sunglasses? Or where can I find some of good quality?

Hey everyone, I'm on the lookout for two main items:

1. Brown sportcoat. Needs to be a darker brown color, soft shoulders, 3" lapel (slightly bigger is okay), and a relatively modern cut. I like suitsupply, but the only one they have that fits this description is a $700 cashmere. Brooks Brothers was also lacking, having only plaid browns. I've looked at a large number of retailers. I'd like to keep it below $400 (I'm graduating college), but I'm willing to compromise a bit if its something perfect.

2. Chinos that are office appropriate. I've tried J Crew's essential chino in urban slim fit, but they're way too baggy on me, and the next cut down is way too slim in the thigh and seat, so it seems like J crew is out. If anyone else fits into that limbo spot, and has a pair they can recommend, I'd be much appreciative. I'd prefer a slimmer leg opening as well, which puts off brands like Epaulet (which has something like a 8.75" leg opening).

They are very similar to the Persol 714 made famous by Steve McQueen:

Very cool, but I was looking for something filled out above the bridge of the nose. Any other suggestions?

I was in between sizes on an Arc'Teryx Veilance blazer so went with the bigger one. Shoulders/chest fit great but it's slightly too long for my liking. Is this something a decent tailor would be able to deal with, or does the technical fabric make it too tricky?

It's this one if that makes a difference: http://veilance.arcteryx.com/produc...mens&materials=Coreloft&model=Mionn-IS-Blazer

Persol 2813S, maybe...?
