EPTI take the food 11/12 months of the year for the record. But I dress for myself as part of creating my identity visually. (The irony is i end up in shorts and sweats more often then not, not sure what that says about visualizing my identity)

Like I'm actually looking into buying: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fC2mnaO.jpg) Because I know for a fact that I'm skinny enough to pull it off even though they're women's leggings but I just love how fucking badass they look. They'll probably sell out before they're on sale though so that's a shame. I don't really dress to impress anybody contrary to what I may post in this thread, I just like how I look overall. If I wanted to impress people (girls, I guess?) I'd wear some dadcore shit every day since girls actually love it. | ||

Nope...no general fund. Just swipe that card QQ. If it makes you feel any better, I probably spent 2.5-3K redoing my entire wardrobe in the last year. I justify it buy telling myself I'm building up the basics so its ok -_- I think i'm pretty close to the point where I can start saving up and looking around for items that aren't as common. Next on the list...Suitsupply Napoli suit and SF x Vanson jacket. God damnit. If the 2 purchases you're getting are more...conservative/normal then I think it's fine since you'll always be able to wear it. | ||

Speaking of which, what are peoples thoughts on motorcycle gear? I gear for protection first (high-end airbag jacket, gauntlet gloves, etc...) and looks only within the highest quality gear. The Italian brands seem to have pretty good styling on their high-end lines, but I'm wondering if there are alternatives that look good and keep you safe. i saw some sick gloves on b/s recently that were for motorcycling, but overall i think fashion isnt as important with something so potentially dangerous. i've read stuff about super reinforced denim though lol. pulsu i think the knee orb/pad makes it a little too feminine but if anyone can pull it off, i think its worth a try On October 18 2014 18:41 CorsairHero wrote: Nope...no general fund.

I "did" my wardrobe the year before and spent a bunch of money on stuff i've moved on from haha. although like pulse said, if i cared only about others i'd be super dadcore/trad. I still have a good amount of thatstuff but thankfully i never bought a blazer or AEs or something, just too many shirts I only wear a few times a year. suit supply is nice, though their b&m was kinda meh. people not really helpful. guy just nuked me with all like 15 of their cuts or something like what im not getting anything groundbreaking, just upgrading/expanding part of my closet already established, so it'll be fine. not suddenly branching into geos and pod shorts, as comfortable as it looks :[ | ||

Hey guys, do you know where I could find dark burgundy/reddish-maroon/chestnut leather military boots like these in the middle of the second row? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://static.fashionbeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/militaryboots.jpg) They're supposed to be from Toast AW 14, but the closest I've found on their site is this and it doesn't really look like in the picture (maybe shadows/reflection play, but still looks different). | ||

re shoes: i have all the other internet memey stuff - CDBs, CPs, and flyknits lol. im in illinois 8 months, so i get the winter pretty bad. i usually wear bombers in spring/fall though and break out the down parka when its below 30F, because below freezing = sweat pants and thermals. thx tho im feeling very kop for no reason tonight, looking at a bunch of different jumpers. but yeah i def dont have much to match with other than some "techy" stuff and im def not lunarcore. 1 more kop or not jcrew merino for 62 i need a crewneck knit/pullover for layering soon, its getting cold and my wardrobe is lacking in the midweight. suggestions welcome, but not lambswool | ||

I forget I live in California at this point lol. It's just dipping below 50s (zip up weather) here, probe have another month before its consistently below 40 and I have to wear actual coats. I have this Burberry down parka (not long tho) I bought when I was less informed but damn that thing is a monster. Got me through last years polar vortex and it's been worth the money lol. How bad does Toronto get and what do you wear when it's cold cold Edit apparently this is the place for Shetlands http://www.oconnellsclothing.com/home.php?cat=986 Tbh I want one more than I do a Schneider... | ||
