The Male 'Fashion' Thread IV

Indigo, imo.

Original post by Magnus Taylor

With a long sleeved black T shirt, would brown shoes look better with light blue jeans or indigo? Will rep!

Assuming that by "light blue" you mean this:

And by "indigo" you mean this:

I'd choose indigo. With that said, when it comes to footwear I generally prefer tan over brown, as the former will complement all but the most anaemic fades of blue-denim whereas the latter really only suits a muted indigo or black wash.

Of course, if you consider shoes an expendable purchase then you can perhaps acquire both; mine tend to be more of a long-term investment however, so until I can comfortably branch out I'll continue to favour the 'premium-but-versatile' MO that is the hallmark of a lean, yet curated wardrobe.

Unrelated; can anyone accurately classify this style of jacket?

It's by far my favourite item of winter-wear, however I purchased an 'S' rather than 'XS' in 2010 and have since been unable to find an example of comparable quality in a fit more becoming my frame.

What do you call the type of black wool jacket which has two rows of buttons with a large collar and funny epaulette thingies and similar things on your wrists?

Sweet trousers, by the way.

Thanks. They're showcased fully here:

Indeed, I've become so enamoured of the fit, material and durability that I'm even on the market for a second, identical pair, since despite owning jeans in a multitude of colours I must confess that, as of late, I seldom wear anything else.

Pro tip:

Try the numerous shaded trousers from Fat Face. They are so functional and extremely stylish too.

It's a safari jacket.

I suspect you're right; would that the woollen, zip-up style were slightly less difficult to track down in my size. Cheers.

utility jacket :

field jacket :

I'd agree with democracyforum, it looks like a different take on the field jacket, also known as the M65. Menswear has been influenced significantly by military wear since forever, and it's a favourite of mine. Also very popular this season. You can pick up some brilliant pieces from surplus stores, mainly online now, although it is good to be able to try before you buy as styles can vary widely.

Was the quality good? I'm thinking of jazzing up some gazelles, but it's pricey and if the shoe is just slapped together and looks nothing like what I made then I won't do it

If you're going to buy Gazelles go for the Indoor ones, with the gum soles. The Gazelle OG has a white rubber sole and believe me it wears down after a few weeks. Not worth the money at all, I'd be gutted if I paid to have a custom pair only to find out they last five minutes.

These are the ones I wanted to base them off, as I can't find these online.
Are they the sole you're on about?

Avoid.
