are those m.a+ boots still around at A?

[beacons_home]

I am not sure. I emailed them yesterday to ask if they have them but I did not hear anything back yet.

[ddohnggo]

actually, i think they still have it. i checked the site and it's still there. you should call them if they don't respond tomorrow. they're quicker that way.

macuser: what's the sizing on those Testoni's like? Is the size on STP UK or US ? Thanks.

They run under US sizing on the site... I'm a 9.5 D in dress shoes, and I wear the same in Testoni. They fit perfectly, maybe a little slimmer through the heel than most other standard dress shoes (say, Allen Edmonds or C&J)

[beacons_home]

Do you have any idea of how much they cost?

[ddohnggo]

they're very expensive. i think over $2k.

[beacons_home]

Well, on second thought, I have some other stuff I could get then.

[polishmike]

yes or no? it's on sale but i'm not so sure

[as343]

yes or no? it's on sale but i'm not so sure

Not bad. I do not see any real big reason not to get it, and since it is in sale, what the hell.

[elnatural]

I been debating if to get the v-sweat from wings + horns. It looks really nice, but I'm not sure what exactly I'd wear below it. Anyone own this and have feedback on it?

[fads]

dean or jimmy? i'm feeling the dean more, but i could use a second opinion.

[maia]

yes or no? it's on sale but i'm not so sure

Yeah, not bad at all. Snap it:D

the laces are awesome on the bw boots...

dont change them. it ruins the shoe.

[beacons_home]

The original price was about $2,300 and the sale price is about $1,200. It is made made Versace.

I actually like the jimmy more. Something about the Dean just feels cheap looking to me. Also, theres something mildly cool about the contrast sole on the jimmy.

Personally, I like the Jimmy as well, but you're comparing a sneaker with a dress shoe, so really they're different looks/styles and really just depend which you think you will get more wear out of/will fit your style better.

But the Dean, to me, looks just too plain, I really dislike how the pretty much the entire side of the shoe is just un-perforated, if you're gonna do a brogue/perforated shoe, please, go all out with it, don't do it half-assed.

attachment crushed wool metal jacket? yes/no?

[homme.homme]

I tentatively say no (i'm not big on crushed blazer type jkts) ... but how much??

[tofu]

$490

i'm going to check it out tomorrow to see if the metal blend fabric amazes me or not. the blazer doesnt seem to have much going for it in the photo aside from the clasp in front.

I personally say no, really not liking the lapels. I'm also with homme on this one, I don't really like crushed jackets, and I feel like you could achieve the same effect, but in a nicer way, if you got a linen blazer like that. I have a linen Costume National one from this past s/s season, and it's my favorite of any of my blazers by far. I'm also kinda iffy on the clasp..... not sure if I like the gap it creates, but also digging the fact that it's unusual.

Metal blend? Definitely a no in that case. Shit is annoying (itches/scratches). Tried it with many Costume National items... Don't bother. Go with linen or a boiled wool to have that kind of 'rumpled' look.

The jacket itself is somewhat ugly, regardless.

[Advantage]

No on that one tofu.

Like everyone else, that slouchy crushed blazer thingy doesn't do it for me. It looks like a blazer got handled by dry cleaners from hell.

The proportion is off to me. But just now I was thinking it could actually be pulled off and look quite cool - think Ann D-esque...

Cheers mate

[tofu]

yeah you guys are right. thanks for making my decision easier

i'll just put the $500 toward the next cloak piece on here that catches my eye. can't ever have too much of those.

[constant struggle]

This suit for $400... originally $730ish.

I mean it looks like its a good deal, but what does everyone else think, im not going to be able to try it on, but ill obviously get it tailored.

You're going to have to be more descriptive w/ suits. What is the material? Who made it? What is the size and your size? Does it have vents, if so how many? Are the button on the sleeves working buttons? A suit has a dozen+ more criteria than a simple shoe or t-shirt.
