Does anyone see any reason it wouldn't be wise to wash my SC Okinawa's together with my SE button down "black" denim shirt? They are both due for a washing.

what color belt is more versatile for streetwear...

brown or black ??


i don't always think matching a belt to shoes is necessary for streetwear... anyone agree?

No.

If your streetwear is more on the pseudo-hipster side get a brown belt. If your streetwear is on the super-hipster side, start with a black belt and you'll need more as you go along.

You don't have to do much, IMO, as letting it age and patina is part of the charm. Cleaning it with saddle soap every once in a while is all you really need.

I got my bag from Crane's today. The leather is sort of stiff and dry feeling in certain areas. I don't know if the leather is this way at first and it softens up eventually, or perhaps the leather dried out a bit.

I like the higher v-neck on Splendid Always tees (Zappos, Revolve). Does anyone know of other brands that do this?

When I first got my Filson bag, the leather was super stiff. Don't worry about it - it will soften up pretty quickly.

Do these look too old manish to wear with jeans?

^ Not old-mannish, just not very easy on the eyes. How about these?

For something high quality yet easier on the pocket, look at the English makers, when on sale.

Any quality brands for Rugby shirts besides Canterbury of New Zealand? I would like a nice longsleeve rugby for fall, but don't wanna drop 80$.

^ Polo RL has some really decent rubgy shirts, which can be had for (relatively) cheap on eBay. Sizing is all over the place though, so make sure to ask for measurements.
