I am super pumped as I just picked up a pair of First Quality Bleecker Streets in Bob's Chili from the AE website for 225. I think they are going to be perfect for my new job in the Mid-Atlantic. Moving from a business casual enviornemt where i have been wearing Clarks DBs to still business casual but its the "downtown office" and people tend to dress on the more dress shirt and trousers side vs OCBDs/Polos and Khakis. I think the Bleeckers will be easier to dress down if needed than trying to slightly dress up clarks.

I picked up the Faribault Weekender duffle bag from Target along with the chevron-patterned Timex from Target for $56 shipped. I figure if I don't like how loud the watch is I can return it and keep the duffle for a shade under $20. Their site allowed me to stack the BOGO half off accessories promo with a straight 20% off accessories code (deal20). There's probably some other good combos folks can come up with.

I'm even willing to bet they will be posted on this site veeeeery soon, maybe even tomorrow. So I would jump on them now if you are going to do it. Hell, I might even pick up another color.

Just bought the Bleeckers in burnished brown. They're firsts, and at this price level I just couldn't resist. Initially I disliked them because of the combination of chukka style with broguing, but I've come around a bit, enough to give them a shot, anyway. Since AE has free shipping and free returns, I figure there's no harm if I wind up disliking them.
My other most recently purchase was two pairs of Wings + Horns West Point chinos, while they were on sale at Acrimony. I never tried any other Wings + Horns products before, but I really like the material, color, and construction of the chinos. And best of all, they seem to actually fit me perfectly! That's quite rare for me, but these accomplished it and I'm very happy.

Hey guys, first post here, a loyal reader of Dappered but a newbie to the forum.
Picked up a pair of Bleecker St today, black custom calf. I own 3 pairs of AEs but they are all in walnut, this is my first black pair.
Does anyone could share the break in exp of this pair (or the black leather)? Are they break in as easy as the walnuts?
Thanks a lot!New York based Beijinger, Beijing based New Yorker

After Joe's posted his "spring picks", I went to a nearby Uniqlo to check out the dry lightweight blazer. I came away very impressed.
A medium fit my body (similar to Joe's) almost perfectly. The arms were just a 1/2 inch or so long. Better yet, it wasn't nearly as chopped as some of my older Uniqlo jackets. It's about 80 percent cotton.
I picked up a light blue for $50. Based on the color and how lightweight it is (no lining at all, even sleeves), it will get plenty of play late spring, summer, early fall.

Seiko SNKN37 from their new Seiko Recraft series. Don't know how Seiko knew, but this was exactly what I've been looking for for years now. I love the vintage Seiko Automatics, but most of them are a bit too small. Vintage style, modern size, and damn look at that blue!
