What do you guys think?


I've wanted a leather jacket for quite a while now and I just saw this. It's quite cheap so I don't know if it's good quality.

Anyone have any idea where I can find striped shirts similar to those in the above pics (sorry about the poor images), preferably long-sleeved.

I was fairly certain they were vintage shirts but I've looked through various sites to no avail.....

Cheers.

Try the 'sik silk' brand.

I bought that very same jacket last night I think it was at 12am last night. I was panicking to get to the checkout because I thought the sale would end at 12 :biggrin: then i realized it didn't. I should get it Monday. I don't know whether it will fit me or not though, I usually get size small in t shirts but not sure whether it will fit the same jacket wise.

Edit: Actually just checked and my jacket i bought last night was this, image1xl.jpg I was actually thinking of buying the one you posted but I wanted to cut the cost down, can't remember how much that one was, there was another hot looking one for £65 too but again I wanted to keep the cost down, I don't really want to spend that much on one item. This was £36.

How are you doing for stock on Bonnivelle and Cruz B? I really like Derby but I wish it was 4 buttons as opposed to 6.

What do you guys think of this? I've never worn a slouchy beanie before so not sure if it suits me or not? Don't know whether i'm wearing it right but yeah.


I'm not a fan, sorry. The rosy cheeks and slouchy hat combination make me think Christmas elf.

Also, does anyone know a website that lists when all the sales/discounts start at different stores? I remember seeing one a while back.

:colondollar::rofl: Perfect for Christmas then, my cheeks are always red, everyone always thinks i'm "going red" as if i'm embarrassed when i'm really not. Thanks for the input anyway. I'll probably wear it out anyway and see if i get any strange looks lol I kinda like it anyway so i'll keep it.

Important question. Where are some reputable places to buy leather boots, or what companies make good leather boots?

I know that Jones bootmakers and Clarks are probably good. If i had to choose between those two then I would choose Clarks.

However, what about Topman, RiverIsland, Next, Matalan? And others.

If I were to buy from Clarks
http://www.clarks.co.uk/p/20352470#reviews
But its not very water proof apparantly

If from topman something like this
http://www.topman.com/en/tmuk/produc...ents=category~[241543|207295]&bi=1&ps=20

If from next, probably this
http://www.next.co.uk/x524608s3

and if from matalan (not likely, really cheap so im going to assume quality may be bad)
http://www.matalan.co.uk/mens/footwe...-info-S2535044

I'm waiting for the Christmas/winter sale so I can save some money.

Where to buy from?

There are tonnes of Bonnivelle iirc, it didn't sell well tbh. Cruz B I don't know, it was just in the top stores, so I'd imagine they didn't produce as much. I can check tomorrow but tbh Reiss blazers are unlikely to sell out if they're only ~30% off.

There's some things I want to get on sale but I'm waiting as there are loads left and they are likely to be further reduced eventually :yep:

Do you get money off the sale stuff too? There's a 1971 bomber I want. Also another but with leather sleeves.

Nah, but I can still buy stuff using my 50% and 75% discount, it just comes off the original price.

My 75% only works for uniform though so I'm waiting for certain things to go down more than 50%.

I want them too :teeth: They should go down more, there's loads of them knocking around the company in a size small tbh, the 1971 stuff never sells full price.

If either goes sub 100 or the leather goes sub 150 ill probably just buy. Can't decide what size to get though.

If you're a 36" chest you'll want a small FO SHO. Come on you should know Reiss outerwear runs big! I'll probably get the bomber tapered, and if I get the other I'll definitely get it tapered.

But yeah, can't see the Nebraska selling out. It was one of the few items that had it's price lowered after it was released (it was originally £375 but they changed it to £325 because nobody bought it at all).

Bought a blazer from zata today. Nice fit.

Also Aldo have some nice men's shoes on sale. Hoping to pick up some smart casual shoes in the coming weeks.

Reply 975

Wanna pick up some Grenson Finbar's in black, that Reiss wool bomber with leather sleeves and save for some CP's. Next three pieces.

Reply 978



Its one of the most sought after?

They'll probably be many more bottles online after Christmas as people sell their unwanted gifts.

Reply 979

Well since Christmas is upon us, I thought I'd treat myself.
