Should I or shouldn't I buy... (clothing item)?

[theom-]

I think rakers will be way too tight. They are even skinnier than NC's. I'm planning on buying grifters but can't decide on STF or SZ.

Anyone think I can pull this off?

Ande whall is like that.

Anybody familiar with the brand zuriick? Looking to buy some high tops and these caught my eye. Considering the price (<100 retail, ~50 on sale), I can't imagine they'd be built too well but they might be worth a try.

They have some chukkas i was looking at, and they sell some of the stuff at UO. I don't think the stuff is that durable though.

I'd maybe get the green ones if they go on sale for $50. Just to have them around for special occasions really. You mentioned them to me before, pink and i like those for hte most part, but know i wouldn't wear them much

Put a hole into my APCNC so I'm looking for some new jeans. To be honest, I don't want to end up with a closet full of nearly identical raw jeans. Nothing wrong with that, I just think I could put my money else where. So that now that I'm over my APCs, I'd like to invest into a skinny jean that will last me a while, is of good quality, and of great fit. I just want a simple, tapered, skinny jean with some stacking, a low rise, and can hold its hue pretty well. And not a deal breaker but nice deep pockets would be great, something I can actually put my hands in when they're cold.

I'd like to try each and every jean on but... that's not possible. But, I can say that my issues of fit with the APCNC is that I feel they don't taper well enough considering the slimness everywhere else. Also I have hip flare, and I hate it. The rise I feel is too long because I either have to hike them up or deal with hip flare. Something to do with the back yoke too, it's just awkward.

I like the Somets because of the fit and the very low rise. Sometimes I end up slouching my jeans anyways and I hate awkward hip flares.

KMW seems to also get a lot of praise and seem of great quality. Not sure how the fit compares to the Soment 008.

Ande Whall just seems like an exceptional deal, though I don't know whether or not I'm leaning more towards the Rakers or Grifters.

Iron Hearts because I get the idea that they're indestructible. Tough to fade, wears hard, lasts long. Seems great except I'm not sure if there's a fit I really like (don't know the models well enough) and the price is a turn off.

Well, I only sized down 1 in my APCNC and they aren't very skinny tight anymore, I dunno, I guess a similar tightness but skinnier in certain areas.

Does RRL Slim Fits even approach something like the Somet 008 in terms of skinniness? Interesting...

Another vote for Somet 008, they're skinny, wears very hard and stretches very little if at all.

Mackintosh for NdG from FW07.

I've never worn the Somet, so I can't say for sure, but the measurements (with the exception of the rise...) of the Somet on Context are pretty close to what I recall my RRL are.

FWIW, the RRL slim fit is probably my favorite fit I've ever worn, bordering on perfect. I like the fit so much I had my AW jeans (before they were super slim) tailored to RRL slim fit measurements. If you can, I would attempt to try on a pair, or at least look into RRL. Based on the jeans you're looking at (same fit I wear) I think you'd be happy with RRL slim fits though the other jeans are all nice too.

OK, I'm having a lot of trouble picking out a second pair of shoes to add to my wardrobe. I hope you guys can help me. To give you some background, I'm a high school student and I'm just looking for casual shoes/sneakers to where around school/town/whatever (not dress shoes or big clunky boots, etc.). At the moment I have a pair of Vans Authentics (Navy) and Nike Delta Force (Off-white, brown, and orange), both pictured below.

I normally wear jeans (planning on purchasing some slimmer fitting APC/Nudies/AW etc.), light colored khakis, and occasionally khaki shorts. I'm just wondering what you guys think would be a good choice as another shoe I should pick up. I'm trying to diversify my selection in both color and style. I had in mind the following two: Spring Court B4 White Leather

Clarks Desert Boot

I plan on getting some Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes for this summer, so I don't really want to get a boat shoe. What do you guys think? What would be a good choice to go with my wardrobe?

 

[Johnathan]

A navy blue leather belt to match some shoes I have. Is it even worth bothering?
