you can go with APC if you like smaller pockets. And make sure to buy straight leg. Boot cut is so 2002.http://www.tobi.com/product/22669-a-p-c-ne...?color_id=27257What is it with huge pockets the size of New Hampshire?I hear that. That's why you have to look at jeans like you do dress slacks or whatever (i.e. spend a bit more money on them). I'm a big fan of APC, Rogan, and Paul Smith denim. About $150-200 but great denim without all the bs designs on the pockets and def not farmer jeans:example:eoMMan said:Jeans for work are hard to find. On one hand, you don't want the real boring, ugly "farmer" blue jeans. On the other hand, you don't want them being too "cool" with crazy pockets, washings, holes, distressed areas, etc. It's still an office and you have too look semi-professional.

Did you see 150? I just saw toggles or whatever that is at 220. That's a lot for jeans.

considered by many as the best denim for your dollar. Roughly $160 although price is rumored to being raised to $180-200. Some of them fit a little too skinny for my taste but the :style: I have are a nice straight leg and great comfort. They are from France so if you support bloody socialist scum and eat fries, then these might be for you.Tell me more about these APCs. Look like a 501.

Believe he's looking for the green soles though. The link I posted was in the UK, but look like they do US sizes and money for purchase (could be wrong though)shop the Adidas store online...even saw them at Footlocker the other week...easy to find in the US:http://www.zappos.com/adidas-originals-sta...2-white-fairwayoffdee said:

my bad, I thought you said green trim. This is what happens when you're multitasking a boring conference call with FFA. I'm really feeling these Red trimmed Smiths on Zappos. Never seen those before.

Quote of post #1203 (pg 25) for Joe regarding APC jeans.The responses after post #1203 go into some more thoughts about APC jeans and raw/selvege denim.
These are a great pair of jeans....took a few wears where they weren't the most comfortable, but now fit like a glove.

So basically any jean colors the black guys in my high school wore in the late 80's and 90's. Perfect

$705.00 to look like a total #####? Seems worth it.

Here's a fashion tip: go to the top of a skyscraper with a wad of $100 bills and let them fly. It looks sweet.

Cool but it would be a lot better in a nice pair of denim.

And this jacket.And these clothes are cheap in comparison to some clothes you can buy. At a certain point, you have to wonder when the buyer feels ashamed to spend so much on clothes. Really. It's disgusting.

With either of those... what kind of socks? Assuming jeans.

If wear with shorts go barefoot or very short ankle socks (below the ankle bone) so they are barely showing. Black shoes are kind of tough with shorts though, so your best bet is to wear with jeans (with short, below the ankle bone socks).

My favorite thing about Vans other than comfort and :style: is designing your own shoe. Lots of fun:http://shop.vans.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ser..._-1#/selectShoe

Can't go wrong with some classic Chucks. I personally prefer the grey color the best for these as well.Only thing I caution with these is to be aware that they have absolutely no padding or arch support...like walking on a piece of cardboard basically. Get some sort of cushion insole thing if you'll be wearing them regularly.

- Not a fan of the black ones....just too "soccery" for me.- Other two are solid. For the Asics I'd swap out the neon yellow shoelace though to something more neutral (white, black or a matching grey)

Stu, not a huge deal, but if plan to wear these with shorts more than pants I prefer the slip on versions.http://www.zappos.com/converse-by-john-var...slip-pewter-mil
Classic. Can't go wrong. Definitely go with the laces. Adding $50 just so you can look like you forgot the laces is

Agree it's not worth $50, but if can find them on sale or similar to regular Chuck's I prefer them. The regular Chucks with the laces tend to make your feet look like skis due to how skinny and slim they are. Also the vibe of the no laces just lends itself more to a casual look which matches nicely with shorts.I'm not 100% certain about this, but from the pics, the John Varvatos vintage no laces looks like it may have more foot padding as well which is a plus. But, again, this is just from pics so that may not be the case.Classic. Can't go wrong. Definitely go with the laces. Adding $50 just so you can look like you forgot the laces isJ
Yes, just not a fan of useless stuff like eyelets with no laces. To me it's the same thing as suspenders drooped down not doing anything. (And yeah, a necktie is sort of in that group but that's another story...)And I guess too part of it for me is messing with a classic like Chucks. If it were a new shoe that way, I'd be better with it.JAgree it's not worth $50, but if can find them on sale or similar to regular Chuck's I prefer them.

And they're comfortable, jb. Wearing the black ones today. I love my chucks but there's not much cushioning to them. The Sambas aren't like running shoes, but definitely some cushioning. Very comfortable.J
