yes or no? / this or that?

[jwied82]

yeah, that's true but they appear to have a nice finish. i think dollar for dollar, superfine are best. check those too.

the only superfines ive seen have been womens, but the denim all felt pretty thin and they did not seem particularly well made compared to similar brands. The fits/cuts seemed good and some of the finishes looked alright, but my impression was they were very overpriced at retail. But ive seen them get marked down pretty low, so then they'd be a good buy for then money.

The Rafs look fine. If you're a 30, i'd rather have the mega ultimate hex cashes in supermarket for $18 less than those after shipping.

RAF by Raf quality really varies by each piece. Some stuff feels like asshole, others are actually good for the [sale] price.

[Servo2000]

colordrives>those rafs

and servo im curious, what are your measurements? from what ive seen you wear extremly small shirts (BoO XS), fairly small shoes (US8 right?) but were selling a pair of size 31 a77s

I'm 5'7 and around 125 pounds. I used to be about a half-size bigger in the waist / chest and I had sized up two sizes in the first place on the April 77's since I liked the denim of the colordrives and the overall fit but wanted them a little loose (i.e. not buttight).

I don't normally do this, nor am I much of a sunglasses person, but these are a going away present from my boss, and we narrowed it down to these two.

Persol(please excuse the lens sticker):

Paul Smith:

I feel that the Paul Smith's remind me a bit too much of all the Wayfarer action going on these days, while the Persols are more of a timeless design.

But I honestly cannot decide right now.

[magic]

I like Paul Smith more..

[Who?]

The PS frames are a much better size and shape.

[Charlie Delta]

Thanks!

Am currently leaning more towards the Persols, but need more opinions...

[fornicatard]

Paul Smith, they fit your face better.

[polishmike]

I don't like the ps ones, persols fit your style better.

[cernunnos]

in my opinion,

ps -> fits face better

persol -> fits style better

[jeepster]

what is the frame size of the paul smiths? I'm looking for a wayfarer-ish frame but with a square bottom, and those sorta hit the nail on the head.

[kunk75]

i don't pan for gold in them and since all jeans are made pretty much the same, i go for finish and ability to absorb pre-cum.

I just wish it was mesh so my rippling muscles could be seen even when I'm layering.

[midnight]

Paul smith's look MUCH better

[Servo2000]

I fucking love this belt but I feel like it's almost too Brooks Brothers / Grandpa. It would sort of make sense with the way I dress but it would drag every outfit from Faux-Ervell slimyouthmericana to just plain old Brooks Brothers unless I start wearing even tighter pants.

Also:

The full set (robe / night shirt / pants) for this is only around ~$100 or so. I feel like it's worth it just to look badass while wandering around the dorm.

no, don't do it. it won't look badass around the dorm. you'll be the weird guy who tries so hard to look cool.

[Servo2000]

How about this: settle for just the robe - but - with gold a monogram?

i'm not sure where are you going to school but i've been to few and there was always some hugh hefner wannabe who was walking around in a robe and never got any ass. his alternative outfits were sweater vests and 70s shirts that his uncle chester recommended as fly.

i never understood robes for men. where would you wear it? how far is it from the shower to your room? unless you're 70 years old and get cold in a steamy bathroom there is no excuse for a robe.

[Francis Xavier]

Paul smith's look MUCH better

Agreed.

Servo skip the robe/pj set, I have several (all gifts) and never wear any of them. If you are set on some sort of lounge wear just buy a nice pair of lounge pants or some slippers.

[Guest Phrost]

shoque tough call. 1st one looks wierd/heavy in the arms.

2nd one don't like the side paneling. i would choose 2nd. try them on irl.

Only going to buy one pair of boots for this fall/winter. Stuck on these three at the moment.

[chronoaug]

I like the first. Are those BoO or rogues gallery? Have you seen the rogues gallery by quoddy boots from the past year?
