There should be a few pairs of Aldens floating around in B&S

Can anyone recommend some brands that make light weight slim or tapered khaki-colored jeans? All price ranges, just looking for options. Thanks.

Hi all, looking to buy a burberry polo and am in Ireland, Have obviously considered the burberry website but its a little expensive for shipping. Nordstrom and saks 5th ave won't ship burberry to Ireland.

Any other suggestions??

I'm in desperate need of a spring jacket to go with my new wardrobe. The only one I have now is an old, ill-fitting, hand-me-down. Be wary, I am of an extremely limited budget, having no job due to the fact I'm underage.

Hi guys

Can anyone recommend a dark gray or charcoal sportscoat/blazer that I can wear casually with some jeans or chinos, please? < $200 if possible

If you just want a plain blazer, they're pretty much to be had anywhere

hmm not really. I've been trying to look for non-polyester blends and I've looked into all of the affiliate sites here in SF and other stockists with no success. Do you think $200 would be unreasonable for a non-polyester blend?

Any high end trench coats or Loro Piana storm system to fit a 52L?

You have to realize that the affiliate sites don't cater to budget ballers. And what's wrong with a poly blend? It'll save you a lot of money to get a blend rather than 100% wool or whatever. If you're adamant about it, Uniqlo +J (and normal line) have &lt;$100 wool blazers or you could look at used stuff and potentially get something worth quite a bit more

what kind of sunglasses should I get? thinking of getting oakley frogskins. I want a bright color though but I'm worried about it limiting their versatility. acid orange look pretty badass.

Also +1

Poly blend serves well in all weather situations.

I would like to buy a brown sebago boat shoes and debating whether i should get the white sole or brown sole. I will be using it with khakis, shorts and jeans. I really like both equally, but what do you guys think? Is one more flexible (with other clothing) or better than the other? Please advise.

Note: I posted this in the other thread also ("ask a quick question" thread).

^^^ White sole. More contrast, less ubiquitous.
