I bought one in brown too. If you want to see pics, there at http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...=13460&page=32. I might be selling it though, I really don't need two wallets.

Water, it is the harness leather belt.

02. Nudie Straight Sven Dry Selvage - I'm choosing these because they're my favorite pair of raw jeans. Samurai's and PBJs are both tempting, but I don't own either so it's hard to say.

03. American Apparel White Crewneck Tshirt - If I'm going to wear the same thing all the time, it can't stand out. Nothing could be safer than a plain white tshirt, assuming I don't spill all over myself.

04. Engineered Garments Herringbone Bedford - Not only is this jacket incredibly beautiful and functional, but it adds a much needed touch of class when I'm drinking a can of Black Label or PBR.

05. Hanes Black Zip Hoodie - I need a Loopwheeler. In the meantime this Hanes does the job, and I'm not gonna cry if someone accidently burns me with their cigarette.

06. Leather Goods Connection Belt - I've always liked the look of brass after it's been worn a while.

07. Leather Goods Connection Wallet - This is by far the nicest wallet I've ever had. I got really sick of flimsy leather wallets and their crappy fabric linings. This is the real deal.

08. Jantzen White Shirt - While I don't actually own this yet, I am hopefully going to order one this weekend.

09. Banana Republic Grey Crewneck Sweater - Blah. I need a nice sweater.

10. Jcrew Broken In Chinos - These were given to me as a gift, and to my surprise I really liked them. (I'm already regetting not putting Ray Bans instead).


* I was curious to see what I would choose from things that I own, but I meant for the list to be anything...

Where did you get that jack for point #3?

 

[nomovement]

1.black t-shirt(s), actually, Black undies, socks, jeans, jacket, gloves, hat, scarf, etc..
2.whiskey and coke-easy on the coke.
3.powerbook-this could be lower on the list
4.Scalpel-for drawing
5.ipod-or at the very least, 1 les savy fav album, one walkmen, and one transam
6.elmer's glue-the glue of glues-works on even the most advanced of models
7.Nava cube bag-what would a student of arch. carry around but a defined volume?
8.carabiner-every "cool kid" in the world has one and its really immature and all; but I hate having **** in my pockets
9.Hi-Tops
10.girlfriend-much needed credibility to my "look"

[Lel]

1.) Alden Cordovan Shell Boots in Black

2.) Dark Navy 3 piece suit, BoO (for the low cut vest)

This + vest.

3.) White overdye oxford BoO

4.) Levi's 511 cut in RAW

But raw.

5.) Leather Jacket

6.) Buttero work boots in brown

7.) BoO Wool Crewneck in Burgundy/Wine

8.) CP white lows (or really, any comfortable designer sneakers just for something other than boots)

9.) Nudie Grey Coated Thin Finns

10.) MJK Shawl Sweater

I kind of started to fizzle out around 7. I'm not sure if I really need the last three but they seem like good staples. The 3 piece is both a normal suit, a 3 piece suit, a pair of pants, a vest, and a jacket all together and separately too.
