IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 I didn't see one already, so I thought I'd start a style thread and see what everyone is wearing. Feel free to post your clothing, shoes, watches, hats..whatever!I'll start er off with my two additions this week. First, a vintage Omega watch my wife bought me for our anniversary. According to the serial number, it's from ~1939.I'm kind of shocked by how thin men's dress watches were back then. The strap is only 15mm!And next up are a new pair of Cheaney Arthur III brogues, ordered direct from the shoemaker in the UK:If you're interested, you can find these here: http://www.cheaney.c...nished-mahoganyThat's it for me for now! What is everyone else sporting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trooper 8 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Love the Cheney's! I have almost all Allen Edmonds except one pair of Crockett and Jones. My best watch is a Japanese Seiko, not quite as nice as your Omega but I told my wife I was thinking of splurging on one for my 40th. I like classic style, hate trendy crap like Tom Ford. Most of my clothes are Brooks Brothers or Lands End but I have suits made to measure at a local tailor. Also, check out Sam Hober for great custom ties.

I have a hard time with dress shirts because I'm a big dude (5'9, 240) so with the 18 neck size, and a 33 arm length (and 18/33 is pretty much impossible to get as it is) it makes it tough. Any shirt with an 18 neck size is gonna be HUGE. As backwards as it sounds, I end up having to buy slim fit shirts, otherwise the neck is right but the rest is like im wearing a sail.Oh, and my shoe trees are all allen edmonds. Theyre inexpensive and you can have them customized with your name :)Fantastic Brogues Optimus. The craftsmanship looks amazing.I couldn't be happier. The leather is crazy soft. And they have just enough flaws to tell they're hand made and not mass produced. For those not familiar with Cheaney, here's a video of their factory and how they make their shoes. I'll definitely be buying more from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Are you going to install toe/heel taps on them?Optimus, if you are having so much trouble with dress shirts, then why don't you just buy the correct neck size and get the shirts tailored by someone who knows what they are doing? I have a similar problem, 15" neck size/short arms, and every shirt I buy fits me like a tent. Take it to the tailor and boom, problem solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 Hmm undecided. Based on the wear pattern of my other shoes, I don't think I need toe taps. And the heel has a rubber section.As for shirts, I agree. Though I might try the custom route there also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the time you buy a shirt and get it tailored, you still have a shirt with armholes that are too big and maybe patterns that are off and you have paid a bunch of money for a subpar shirt. Get must-iron made to measure and you will have something much better than you can get off the rack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They even pay for minor adjustments locally, if required.Just need to get my measurements.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
