Gotcha. Surprisingly, I've met many sneaker buffs this semester. Had a classmate mention he created a twitter account solely to follow his favorite brands and designers.

[JScoope]

Seriously, Twitter is great for that kind of stuff. I'm in the same boat; I don't post anything unless it's a retweet for a chance to win a free pair of kicks.

Took advantage of the AE sale and ordered a pair of black Fifth Avenues. I'm excited and can't wait for the pair to arrive.

Received my J.Crew Factory utility jacket that I bought from the 30% off sale. Perfect casual jacket. Not waterproof at all however.


Upon entering the UPS building : "Hey, Mister <my last name> )! How are you today?" I might have a problem.

@Jessy sleeves are a touch too long. Other than that, coat looks great! Might have to look into that one.

[jessy_diamond]

@SDot Sorry, it was the last one. I was looking for a similar coat, and there it is, on sale, only one left, in my size.

Just scored some brown Sid Mashburn wingtips on eBay for $300... Still a pricey shoe but my lord are they beautiful. Can't wait for them to get here. Hope the quality is on par with their list prices (over $500)

Super long time no see, everybody! Sorry I've been so absent (and that I was so abrupt about it). I want on a style "fast" for a while since finances have been tight. I've just broken that fast, though. So here I am!


First thing, I picked up one of these Hickey Freeman navy suit for $360 after 40% off:


Hickey Freeman Two-Piece Slim-Cut Suit, Navy


Hickey Freeman can be on the "generous" side with their fitting, but this one is billed as a slim fit so I'm optimistic. Plus it's dual vented, just the way I like it.


I also grabbed this Tumi quilted jacket for $55 FRICKIN' BUCKS after stacking 40% off and a $50 off coupon:


Tumi Lightweight Quilted Jacket, Olive


They make a black version, but I've got enough dark jackets, and black has never really been my color.

Welcome back, Alan! Those were some nice choices to break the fast!

[jessy_diamond]

Hey, Alan! Long time no see! Great deal on the suit.

[Acousticfoodie]

Alan! Good to see you are back!


To the subject, I purchased these recently:

[bremersm]

Well after the successful month of not spending anything I ended up needing a few things.


1. Driving Mocs to replace the boat shoes I had a hole in.

2. Navy dress pants. I have never owned navy pants and wanted something different.




Non-clothing: new iPhone 5 and tires for the Scion.

[SDot]

I usually wear the Brooks Brothers knots to keep it classy & simple. Got these to add a little flair every now and then. Cheap buy ($8 eBay w/ shipping), but pretty cool i think.





Thoughts?

If Spoo on SF can do it, you can too. Look fine to me!
