leather soles aren't that great to wear in rain or snow, while I've never done this before, i can definitely see value in adding a rubber half sole

regardless how 'quality' your shoes are, your leather soles will get ruined if you walk on wet salted roads...

@GDR, stay away from boot cuts. boot cut means that below the knee the pant widens, this is in theory to make room for wearing a large boot, hence the name, from your description it sounds like you want tapered jean which will narrow from the knee to the ankle therefore staying closer to your leg.

I would try levis, 511, don't be afraid of the name skinny jean it is not at and emo skinny jean, its just a slim fit jean made for smaller people. The next step up would be the 513 then 514. Finally the 520, and 521. If I were you I'd go to a store and start with the 511, and work your way up from there. If you can't find one of the options in your size you can always order online from a place with a good return policy like zappos.

As far as shirts go, look for "sport shits" opposed to "dress shirts" because as a general rule sport shirts are meant to be worn untucked and dress shirts are meant to be tucked. Check out the lands-end canvas sale, some good stuff, and nice return policy.

@Statis, I like US style but I'm a traditionalist. I could see the Korean style working for some people, as long as you realize it is much more casual, and don't try to dress it up or anything, but for jeans like you say, I think either one could work.

@Jonte, read the tag but most likely your jacket is dry clean only, if it is don't try anything fancy just bring it in and get it dry cleaned. The same applies to your jacket and dress pants. As far as removing hair and other things between cleaning get yourself a lint roller. As far as how often to get your clothes dry cleaned, only as needed, I think most people do it more often then needed, dry cleaning is hard on clothes, so you should really do it only when hanging the clothes for 24 hours wont remove the smells anymore or there are stains.
