yes or no? / this or that?

[Agent Orange]

that sweater is a 20€ h&m piece just buy it and see if it works out

A.P.C. Military-Style Jacket from '09 mens fall collection. Colour would be khaki. Yes or no?

[chronoaug]

The fit and finish don't look that spectacular on it and it seems like a standard f2 jacket but for APC prices (which are getting really high). I sold a black one for $35shipped a few months ago. You should check ebay or other military surplus websites for french f2 jackets first. I've seen them in khaki, black, and olive.

[adrian]

I would second the no on the APC jacket. Looks nice, but you can get a jacket which looks almost identical for half the price or less.

[Agent Orange]

i second the no, french f2 jackets go for 10€ on european ebay sites.

Need shuz for college undecided between brown clark desert boots or the tan color? these will be worn casually

[Jkerman]

i likes french f2 jackets.

[hola123]

Which Messenger bag if any?

neither. messenger bags just seem very early-2000's-queer-eye-for-the-straight-guy. at least those kinds do. i'd go for a cool rustic leather backpack instead.

dye my vans blaque? i have some extra rit dye lying around and im kind of bored. and as of late i have a strange aversion to all of my white shoo. quick photoshop mockup

[e0d9n0b5]

[Servo2000]

It makes no difference. You're wearing Vans Authentics either way.

Do it regardless.

[lucky_cloud]

I think you should try it, but the dye would probably sort of half-take on the outsole and might look weird.

darzoh, i keep looking at that apc jacket, too. it's overpriced, but I've seen apc f2s and compared them to regular, ebay-level surplus ones, and there's a significant difference. I'm still going to wait until stock hits stores and I've checked out some other options, though.

[Wesley Pipes]

dye them and post pics.

[nf one]

im actually kind of hoping at least partially stains the eyelets and soles, otherwise they'll just be the contrast stitched black ones which im not a huge fan of. and was it yohji i think that had those awesome stained sole leather hi tops? anyways ill see you guys in a few hours with some hopefully dark grayish beat kicks

[Guest winq]

i like it as it is.

[ProfMonnitoff]

can i still buy dh jeans without looking like an idiot? the pair i have fit me quite well and i was considering to just cop a black pair with the same fit.

this is of course based on internet acceptance rather than real life because i dont think anyone has ever even noticed the darted pocketz on my jeanz

[chronoaug]

I always consult TheBlinding before making any Dior Homme inquiries. I suggest you do the same.

[kunk75]

yes, i find they fit the best still. i dunno about kva ones, but i generally alternate between hedi-era dior and superfine for fit/look/comfort.

Alright I need a little help narrowing down which type of shoe I'm about to buy, so I really appreciate any input I can get.

I generally wear a lot of basic oxford shirts and prep-school style and vintage americana / workwear inspired shirts like this:

with this belt

and slim / straight dry denim like this

actually many of my jeans are a bit slimmer than that. i also wear them pretty long so there is a bit of stacking

now, another thing is my feet are big, so with the slim and stacked jeans, i think i need a slim and low profile shoe / boot as well.

so, what do u guys think?

boat shoes or topsiders like these:

traditional style desert boots like these:

common projects desert boots with sneaker soles:

or maybe boots like these:

also, i live in a place where it is warm year round and the dress code is almost always casual...

thank you!

[m1sterko]

booots i like

[kunk75]

i'd go with the trad desert boots. i'm sick to death of boat shoes and they'll look retarded past october.

[cjbreed]

thanks kunk. boat shoes are my least favorite. (i thought u might pull for the CPs...)

keep em coming guys...

[kunk75]

yeah, i've never seen the point of the CP desert boots though. plenty of solid cheaper options out there for those. same goes for CP dress shoes-i'd rather get lobb, church's, C & J or something that's been around for a million years.

[cjbreed]

booots i like

which ones? the fiorentini and baker? me too. not sure how versatile they are though...

[m1sterko]

yeah i like the last one posted, just wooooork it boy

kunk, i looked for "church's shoes" and herring shoes came up. is that what you're talkign about? im shoe noooooob.

[cjbreed]

i think the boat shoes are out.

also, someone suggested NDC. so, what about something like this?

EDIT: upon closer inspection. um...not for me.

picture removed

[kunk75]

they sell them, yes, but they're an english shoe company that's been around forever.

forgot about grensen, too. i have a pair i wear all the time when i have to dress like a grown up.

and cjbreed, i'm not felling those at all. why not just get a black cap toe that'll go with everything?

yeah i like the last one posted, just wooooork it boy
