Ultimate noob thread - recommend me X in my wardrobe - post questions here please.

[Knisse]

Anyone that can recommend some nice wallets. I would like a black one, that has room for platic cards and up to 5-6 keys. So i guess it needs a zipper of some kind.

So, Spring is on its way and I need shoes for Spring/Summer. I want something low-profile and cool (temperature). I have been looking at these: http://zuriick.bigcartel.com/product/ake-bronx-m but I have no idea about sizing, comfort without socks, and quality. I also have been contemplating buying some Espadrilles but I also know nothing about brands etc.

Any suggestions for Spring/Summer shoes? I'm not really looking for converse or boat shoes (everyone has them and they have begun to bore me). I have a pair of Clark's Desert Boots and a bunch of dress shoes, nothing too casual (I need some).

Thanks!

I am looking for some basic tees and have something specific in mind, but I don't know how to find the style I want with decent prices. Ideally, what I would want would be Julius or Rick Owens style, but I just want the bare minimum of what their style entails (for tees)

Could anyone suggest decently priced tees that are long, have a u-neck (or similar), and have decent quality (soft material, good construction/durability)?

I know I COULD just buy the higher end tees, but I'd rather buy multiple cheaper ones.

Any brand suggestions or sites would be appreciated.

(It seems this is a common style in Asian countries, but I don't know where I can get them online)

Thanks!

I want to buy some sneakers to go with as many things as possible. I've read that white and black go with pretty much everything, but I wouldn't mind some other colors, like blue for example. What stuff doesn't blue go with?

Brown would be ideal i guess, a lightblue can easily look to carefree - if your wardrobe is already solid a blue/navy doesnt hurt.

This might be too broad, but I've just recently moved up to Portland, Oregon and am looking for a new all year jacket that can deal with all the rain and wetness. I was thinking maybe the Gant Rugger Traveler's jacket, but does anyone have some suggestions? I'm aiming for less than 400 USD and something that can be worn year round.

Thanks!

Right in Portland. They carry the high-end To Ki To stuff too. Great all-year jackets.

Nau is also popular.

Camp mocs are quite popular. J Crew carries the Quoddy ones in a range of colors - I've been looking at the "mint" ones.

And it's for a good cause.

I live in BC and my W+H Mountain Parka is probably my most-worn piece of outerwear.

Size up one, IMO - I went TTS with a Medium and while the fit is good, I can't really layer that much. If you buy it a size up, you'll be able to wear it almost year long in the Pac NW.

Where can one find decent leather goods; belts and wallets, etc.?

Hi,

I am looking for some cool jeans:

• used look
  
• straight
  
• grey and/or dark blue
  
• popular brand (because I live in europe)

Looking for sub $200 boots and sub $100 sneakers. I want the boots to be able to take a beating, but look nice. I'd like the sneakers to be grey or black, and this is what I've come across so far...

Boots: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/49464?feat=506794-GN2

Sneakers: http://www.converse.com/?CSID=218/#/...purcell/119007

Thoughts or suggestions?

Try diffusion lines such as Silent if you want something similar at a lower price. Still not cheap though at $70-$120 per tee, but you're not going to find what you're looking for for $15 that's for sure.
