You might want to expand your budget. The only boots I can think of at that price are these: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/sto...Id=1&langId=-1 Not sure if you want something like that.

$150 is a pretty low budget, to be honest with you. Exactly what kind of style are you looking for?Originally Posted by Uncontrol
I was worried the budget would limit my options. I might need to expand it a bit. I think I am leaning towards a chukka, though most of the chukkas I see are not really to my liking and don't look like they would make it through one winter. I like the style of these but the quality looks to be subpar (even in my budget). The one review didn't help either.

Thanks for the link, I will keep those in mind. It looks like I am 2/2 on responses telling me to expand my budget. I guess I will need to go higher.

Jesus Christ that leather looks awful. Definitely pass on those.Originally Posted by onion
Edit: I'm talking about the UO ones....
I couldn't agree more. I do like the style otherwise so it seemed like a good example of what I am generally looking for. Something like that with leather that doesn't look like shiny cardboard.

What exactly distinguishes a keffiyeh from a run-of-the-mill scarf?Originally Posted by Ludeykrus
It's politically loaded depending on who you askOriginally Posted by amnesiac
wiki
the people i see wearing them look like they are either doing it as some sort of ironic or half-assed political statement, or honestly have no idea, thought it looked cool at UO and bought it on sale. Also, my scarf keeps me warm in the cold, not cool when it's hot.
Unfortunately, this did not answer my question. So a 'keffiyeh' can be worn on top of the head or around the neck, so it's not in the fold or position. Therefore, it must be the pattern, correct? So which pattern exactly makes a keffiyeh?

Are chinos appropriate to wear in fall and winter? It seems like corduroys would work better in just about every case but I have a pair of darker gold colored chinos from Uniqlo that I was curious about. If not, what other than corduroys is acceptable? Dry denim/wool pants?

For sure. That is why they come in different weights, and why some kind lined with flannel.
But like you say there are other options in fall and winter. Heavyweight chinos might not be appealing next to cords, wool flannels, moleskins, etc.

at my new apartment at school, the washing machine doesn't have a specified cold water wash. if i use the delicate cycle, will it be warm or cool water?Originally Posted by cjl2g
i thought delicates was the agitation on the wash... do the washers not have a "bright colors" setting? that's usually the cold water wash.
