Speaking of linen jackets...

It's the Alden Long wing blucher. There are seconds in calf for $300 and in shell for $400 call shoemart and ask them to email you the list.
Alfred Sargent and Loake should have something similar, British would call the shoes gunboats or American blucher / brogue

Thanks. These are more than what I'm willing to spend at the moment, but once I start working a little more in the summer/fall, I will definitely look into it.

These Florsheim models--veblen, haviland--are decent value IMO. Not sure if it matters to you, but the Nordstrom site lists them as made in USA, and I'm 90% sure that's not true.

Decent value is what I was thinking. I wasn't expecting "master craftsmanship" at the price point. It's good to know that Nordstrom might be incorrectly advertising these. Shame on you, Nordstrom

just get these.

Nice, but I don't like the pebble grain leather on this particular shoe (I think that's what it is).

Top grey looks nice. I can definitely see it worn with some black jeans.

Pros: Cheap
Indestructible
Cons: Damn hipsters
Kinda huge at 22inch x 13 inch

Pros: Design - Saw a dude wearing it in Tokyo. Looked like a (tiny) boss.
Coach that doesn't scream 'lol. im coach'
Looks like a baby 5zip
Cons: Too small at 7 inch by 13 inch
Kinda pricey for its size

No clue about the quality of Jack's Spade stuff, but should I bother?

I would not even consider the first. The second one is great though.
If you can shell out the money, I'd say go for it.

I know I did a similar post a couple of days ago, but I'm really finding it difficult to find a pair of nice off-white jeans or trousers.
Don't wanna pay a lot since there's a risk I wont be wearing them much.

ATM, It's either one if these jeans


511's


Or



Cheap Swedish label



Or these trousers


Same brand as above

 

[pickpackpockpuck]

just fyi, uniqlo also makes white jeans. that's another cheap option. of those you mentioned, i'd go with the levi's, personally.

RRL makes white denim, it's unbleached selvedge so tons of nice details

I'd norrmally agree but I like the scuba-type hood.

It's not a hood, it is an S&M head cover.

Can get an Engineered Garments T-1 jacket for $150. Should I? This jacket but in khaki color

Like EG a lot and this colour is good. Don't buy if you hate elastic cuffs though, it will bother you everytime.

Just checked some on ebay and they don't seem slim enough. Too expensive for something that probably wont get a lot of wear as well.

I don't mind elastic sleeves, but the one I'd be getting is the khaki color. It looks great. Will probably get it later this week if it is still around. Thanks for the advice guys.

Fuuma, kind of surprised you like EG

those uniqlo jackets look pretty good. I like the black one for black jeans. the grey would also look good with white jeans for a summer look.
