Warby Parker frames are really impressive -- best 95 I've ever spent. The frames are plastic, but they're amazingly sturdy. Way better deal than raybans or whatever

Or sell it to me if it fits a 40. :devil:

Really sick of my current watch being so damn loud, but I can't decide on a color:

679960
679961

If I get the blue, I'll probably keep the strap. If I go with beige, I'll almost definitely cut the strap off and swap it out for some NATO strap.


I have navy, watch face is dark, almost black. I'd go navy or black, not a fan of the khaki.

This is more of a shall I keep or not.

Got a Dries hidden placket shirt and wool flannel trousers off thecorner.
Shirt fits pretty good, besides being a bit baggy in the lower back and arms (I always have this problem).
Trousers are a touch tight on the thighs (I suspect they will loosen up with wear) and I'm not sure if they taper enough to the hem. They currently measure 7.5" and I will hem them a bit short to hit right at the ankle (as seen in the pics). Also, the pattern is a bit more apparent and "old man"-ish than I expected. Can't decide if I like it or not.

Any input is appreciated.

I like both the pieces individually, but together they don't look right.
And as much as I like the material of the trousers (seriously, it's beautiful) I think they are a bit too tight in the thighs.

I think they look great together but the thigh is a deal breaker. If yer pants lose their crease when you wear them, too tight :'(

I actually think they look pretty good I think it'd be an issue if you had skinny legs and honestly the material would really only be an issue IMO depending how you would wear them. But considering the cut they don't really stand out as out of date. The shirt just seems generic honestly to me.
