Is it ok to wear brown boots/shoes with black jeans? If so, what color shirt should you match it up with?

Some searching will show you that Uniqlo's shirts have a boxier cut that's not as slim as AA.

You know that they're not in stores right? The show just happened this weekend in new york. South willard and barneys don't get them in till around early january so i don't think jet is down yet. You can see some of the fit from the runway show. Your best bet is asking SoCal as he was at the show, but even then, he only can see what was on the runway. Ervell quality and fit is pretty solid. I tried one on before and liked it. Ervell season to season doesn't change much so if you want to get something, just grab it whenever it's on sale. There are 2 really simple looks from ss09 i want to straight rip off. Easy uniform for days i need to look professional

No, it would be fine.


Personally I'd get a charcoal or black peacoat, unless your jeans are either very well worn-in or of the rare shade of dark indigo that might look good w/ navy (paging LA Guy...)

charcoal works with a good amount of stuff. I wore a charcoal peacoat last winter with black, grey, and indigo jeans it worked reasonably well with all.

I just bought a couple of both recently. I like AA because they are slimmer but they are really too long and I think that I will get them hemmed. But Uniqlo's are a bit boxier but not too much. Also I wear a medium in AA but small in solid (no design) T. I hope this helps.

What would you do if you mostly wear dark jeans and brown boots? Can you still go with Charcoal or navy?

Ok guys, need some help with this one. Does anyone know where this jacket is from or who makes it? There's a label that states "Kast" (middle left), but aside form that and some washing instructions, I can't find anything, even after searching the internets.

I have a Sterlingwear Peacoat and am wondering how far down the sleeves should go? Currently with everything buttoned up and with my hands straight down to the side, the sleeve ends right above the "V" crest between my thumb and index finger. It looks a bit long to me compared to my suit jacket, but it doesn't interfere with anything I do because once I bend my elbows, it shortens up. Anyways, any thoughts?

 

[JohnnyLaw]

briansee,

Sounds a bit long but it depends how you want to wear it. I like mine just long enough so that when I move around my gloves stay under the sleeves and no skin is exposed. You should be comfortable.

Anyone know where to get laces like these?
