My name is Vivek and I live in the Baltimore/greater Washington D.C. area. I had been wearing the same shirt to a certain number of outings to the point that my friend told me to where new stuff. So I bought some Goodfellow shirts and Chinos from target, a whole bunch of clothes from Macy's, a decent amount of clothes from Brooks Brothers, Crocks, 3 sport shirts/white jeans from Nordstrom, suede loafers from Johnston and Murphy and a shirt or two/1-2 pants from Amazon and perhaps a pair of shorts. Also a suit as I'd gained quite a bit of weight since my last one and a navy blazer. I started a thread on the blazer. The suit was a Tommy Hilfiger for $200 something marked off from $600 something at Macy''s. The blazer was lauren ralph lauren. I've since learned I should've bought a more expensive suit and blazer. I will probably replace some/much of my cheaper clothing in the next few years. at least what I define as cheaper. Still have some purchases to make including double monk straps, chelsea boots, a bomber jacket etc.

Hello All

Having been a visitor here for some time now, I have always appreciated the quality posts and vast knowledge of vintage fashion that is shared.

After ending up here more and more while researching high-end vintage footwear for my eBay store I thought that it was time to give back to this great community and became a member.

Thanks for having me. I am excited to meet new people, help others, and continue expanding my fashion knowledge.

About Me:

I am from Milwaukee WI and have been selling medium to high-end vintage clothing in different capacities for some time now. Last year I expanded my horizons and started a new eBay Store in which I only sell medium to high-end vintage boots and shoes. The name of my eBay shoe store is Boots-N-Shoes if anyone is looking for great looking classic footwear.

Kindest Regards
Boots-N-Shoes

Hi SF, I finally signed up on the forum after lurking for a while. Originally I Googled my way here looking for info about shoes, but have found it's a great place for all things wardrobe related.

My closet is full of Aloha shirts, which is standard business attire here in Hawaii. So as you might guess, I'm in pretty dire need of wardrobe help.

My most recent purchase was a pair of Cobbler Union oxfords, which I'm very happy with. I'll eventually post an overview in the big CU thread.

Cheers.

JP here from the Philippines. I'm a young professional looking into building my wardrobe, something good for hot and hotter weather (SE Asia represent). Currently building my shoe collection (started with good old Goodyear welted British, of course). I was looking at some Rubinacci Marphies and wondering if they're durable and worth the purchase. I couldn't really find any info online, though.

Welcome, happy to assist. Do you have any questions?
Thanks for the welcome! I don't have any specific questions at the moment. With the wealth information here, it's sort of like browsing through a big library--pretty much any topic I could think of is covered, haha.

Welcome JP, I have SE Asia experience, mostly in Indonesia though I've spent some time in Manila. Have you any questions?

Hey man, thanks. I wanted to know if the Rubinacci Marphy loafers are fairly durable. Any tips are very much appreciated.

You're welcome! Rubinacci Marphy loafers are exquisitely styled, known for their comfort and their price point. I'm not sure which model or style you have in mind. However, if you take their deerskin or suede loafers as an example, then I would not recommend these for outside or daily wear in SE Asia. If you're mainly planning to wear these to a restaurant or being dropped off at the mall, then no problem. Suede and softer leathers don't fair well in hot, humid or rainy conditions.

Nice to have you here, welcome!
Hello everyone! Long-time viewer of the forum. Decided it’s time to give back to the community. Few words about myself; forty-something guy pursuing an academic career, classic tailoring aficionado, shoe addict. Look forward to getting to know you all.
Welcome, I can relate on the shoe addict part myself, I always seem to find another place I need lasts built for.

Hi guys I'm Frank,

I like fashion, got tons of shoes and blazers. I'm in IT and once a former colleague (Senior IT Consultant) told me that I was the most well dress IT guy he ever met! I've been called a fashionista at my christmas party once too. Hell, I'm a not so bad dresser. Love this forum for tips and reviews, been looking at it for a while but was never subscribed.

Have good one!
