TOJ has a wallet just like that nixon (with the money clip/bar) but without the outside branding, FYI.

And you can get any color your little heart desires.

Anyone got a better suggestion for a similarly cut jean? And if I do end up with Nudies (zOMG, not selvedge), is the general rule of thumb to size down 2?

Common projects safari boots
Never tried these on and was wondering if it will look okay with stacking of straight and tapered denim.
Also, anyone know sizing on these?

If you like your sneakers a bit loose get the size up. I wear 10.5 in most sneakers, but since common projects do not make half sizes I opted down to a 10 and they fit very snug (would prefer a bit wider, but they are not uncomfortable, just use to looser sneakers).

Should/shouldn't?

Furthermore, I think no heel is a bit more masculine and lends itself to a sleeker and cleaner profile/silhouette.

No heel on something immediately takes me into sneaker territory. To me a men's heel is never feminine unless it's a Cuban/pitched heel. Things get awkward when you have a regular heel over 1" because it looks like you're trying to be taller a la your shoe. Ideally a heel should be .5-.75".

I have spoken.
