[polishmike]

A new Kenzo Homme suit, a Fabio Inghrami shirt, a crappy old tie and some old vans.

[seenmy]

sorry but suit and trainers like that are a real no no in my book,dosent work and kkind of just cheapens the whole suit.

[bleedxslow]

Yeah, that's something awkward kids in high school do when they have to dress up. Suits and sneakers = NO!

[generic_guy]

Is that suit pic not meant to be in What are you wearing today?

Latest purchases:

First ones are Timberland Boot Company (their vintage/heritage line) and the other ones are from Ravel. Not 100% sure about either of them but they were both cheap (£23 for Timberlands and £5 for the Ravels) so I thought I'd chance it.

[DEPHT]

yea, koss headphones are some of the best headphones for the money. I got a pair of senn px100's for school myself.

[punyfig]

Get your suit altered. Unless you enjoy the sack-like look of 40-something men with a midlife crisis.

Believe me that photo is not that flattering! No wait, you spotted it!

[generic_guy]

where'd you get them? some vintage shop?

They're both new and unworn, guess that means the vintaging looks quite authentic

Timberlands were from the Timberland outfit and the others from the Ravel outlet, both in Swindon (UK)

A new Kenzo Homme suit, a Fabio Inghrami shirt, a crappy old tie and some old vans.

I'm just going to assume that you're not going to wear those shoes with that jacket and address the other issues: First, you need the sleeves moved up so that between, IMO, about a half inch to an inch of your cuff is showing, assuming that your cuff is landing in the right spot, i.e., right at the top of your wrist. The jacket fits a little like a sack overall, so definitely take it to a good tailor and he should be able to fix that up pretty well.

The pants are too long for you. They're clearly bunching up in a completely unflattering way. Try a smaller size or also take them to a tailor. Personally, I think smaller size would really fix the width-silhouette issue and probably shorten them.

Finally, pick up a nice pair of dress shoes, if you haven't already. A good introduction to dress shoes is a pair of Allen Edmonds. If you want something nicer, The Sartorialist recently posted some pictures of some incredible Lidfort's, although they're quite a bit more expensive.

Anyway, if any other sartorialist's want to post some more information hopefully they can corrent any mistakes I might've made.

Anyway, good luck with the suit.

(Edit: if you really insist on wearing sneakers, then I've seen people pull it off with those patent leather Marc Jacobs x Vans in certain colorways. That's pretty much the only one I can think of right now)

yes yes yes. the months of saving were well worth it.

road bikes are faster, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing for my needs (urban commuting). toronto is totally flat so gears are unnecessary. and derailleurs are an attraction to theives. however, unlike every other north american city, road bikes aren't the trend here... cruisers are.

I just picked this up last week. been lookin for a decent single speed for a while.

Specialized Langster. got it for $350. had to jump on it.

[red]

yes yes yes. the months of saving were well worth it.

my dad bought an $800 lance armstrong bike (i dont know the model as its not here in japan with us right now) and has never ridden it. i took it out for a ride once and he got pissed. he says hes saving it for retirement or something.

he has a wierd adoration for lance. i once told him he was dead, and he almost cried.

[watchman]

that's hilarious, but fucked up.

[jpgm]

for real. can't say that for too many people. RIP Steve Irwin

Back to the thread!

[Mbrand]

Do you believe me if I tell you they are from ZARA new collection. 39€ = 45$

The sizing is weird, don't be afraid to size down.

[mike lowrey]

over here zara actually has pretty nice shoes every now and then!

and about the suit x sneakers thing, IMO it can look good if done correctly. I've worn my marc jacobs vans' with a suit to work and I think it looks good. nowadays I wear jeans and a blazer much more often though, but anyways..

[simoh]

i'm sure most of you know how it looks like but here are some pictures...

What is the brand and model name of this wallet?

Looks pretty damn sweet!
