Say no more fam.  Barneys is your one stop shop for all booting needs.  I'd lean toward something like this.  5% off as well:

Btw... Barney's is done. But maybe they'll keep a presence around...online or a pop-up here and there. Wonder what this means for the separately owned "Barney's" Warehouse sale.

Barneys - the high-end department store known for its designer offerings - filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August.

On October 16, bankruptcy filings revealed plans for a new $271 million deal in which Authentic Brands Group - owner of brands like Nine West, Nautica, and Volcom - and investment firm B. Riley Financial would buy the Barneys name and assets.

All stores would close under the deal, though talks are ongoing for a few, including the massive Madison Avenue flagship, to stay open, a source told the Wall Street Journal

And just remembered the brand To Boot being great for quality work (office, not construction) boots. I still have a pair from the 90s- replaced the sole once or twice, but still looks decent.

I think the word you are looking for is fickle based off your other posts in here

Boots are something I am willing to spend on.  First, they are like double the material of shoes.  Second, nice boots get noticed.  Third, nice boots feel great on your feet

I am a big Paul Smith fan for boots.  You can get them on sale if you watch

TBNY is quality. I had a pair that I picked up for a song at Century 21 back in the day. I re-soled them 1x and probably had them for 10 years.

 
wound up picking up some boots from Palladium. they're waterproof so a nice winter fit for me. took them on a walk through the snow Saturday morning and had no issues with comfort, dampness, etc.

they'll fit a niche i need for this season :thumbup:  

still on the prowl for something a little less... utilitarian

Had a pair in HS

 
had some trusty leather boots that held up for about 5 seasons until i wore the soles down to basically mirror smooth. couldn't wear them in the winter anymore because they were too slippery. leather was in great shape, just the soles were shot.

i'd never had a pair of boots re-soled so i sort of wrote the boots off as unwearable and was on the brink of trashing them.  decided instead to check on a re-sole price. found a local place that does it and spent the cash to have it done.

just got them back today.  fresh new Vibram soles and a leather reconditioning. totally worth it. would recommend.

The boots that I am wearing right now (black ropers), I bought in 1990. I have no clue how many times they have been resoled, but it's lots. They are all seasons / every day attire as well. 

Other than an Onkyo receiver & JBL speakers that I bought in '89, this may be the longest lasting purchase I have on record. I bought by house in '93, and it has required more work than my ropers. 

Speaking of ... do you know Mr. Roper, or had he already moved out before your arrival? 

 
I decided I wanted to dabble in Cashmere and picked up this recently. First, cashmere is glorious. Second, I am tall and the arms are a wee bit shorter than I would have liked. Anyone have tips on a good brand that may support XLT?

 
Never watch morning TV but am off today.  Saw a NY "fashion" lady on saying skinny-tight suits for men are on the way out.  The gangster oversized suits are on the way in. Double breasted suits and sports coats are back in. 

Also the 70s-80s wider collars for men's dress shirts are coming back as well.  Shorter shorts for men are in, mini skirts and micro minis for women are in..(I like that)  Bell bottom or flared jeans for women are in (Don`t like that)

From a "fashion" perspective?  Maybe.  But, a well fitting suit with traditional lapels are always in style.

There are so many collar choices for men, I can't see any coming in or going out of style.  Wear what you like.

I agree, she was basically talking trends for fashion type men and women.  Trends take time to take hold. Just think when skinny/small suits first came out most everybody said how ridiculous they look then they took hold.   Even on NFL pre-game shows where the ex-players try to look stylish I see the suits getting a little bigger and looser.

Steve Harvey finally has his moment in the sun.

 
On another note, just realized one of my go-tos for :style: (Barneys) is now the pedestrian Saks   :yucky:    :kicksrock:

i know we're not supposed to notice (or care - because caring about fashion is for dandies), but has anyone ever had a come to jesus moment with their significant other over their clothing?

whether that be she wears clothes for teenage girls, or she dresses 40 years older than she is, or she thinks "matching"/"coordinating colors" means wearing a green shirt, green pants, green socks, green shoes, green necklace and green earrings, etc.

my wife used to demand that i shop with her because she had no confidence picking out her own clothes. and she liked the things i complimented that others were wearing. plus, when shopping for myself i'm able to quickly visually sift through and pick things i want. her idea of wanting me to go with her was "you'll pick out things i like and it will be quick"

that worked for a while... she would make sure to tell me when she got compliments on the clothes she was wearing if i picked them out.  awesome.  that said, clothes shopping with my wife is TORTURE.  pure. abject. torture.  3 hours in the same small store with her looking at and picking apart tiny details of every single item in the store.  then trying on 3400 items and discarding all of them. torture.

long ago i told her i couldn't do it anymore. spending 11 hours on Saturday & Sunday shopping for her clothes only to come back with nothing..... was killing me.

to combat this i got her one of these clothing subscription services. the clothes they send are...... not super.  lots of (imo) awful clothes. cheap material. over-priced. out of fashion. and no real coordination of goods. SHE LOVES IT. they'll send her some thigh high pleather boots, a cardigan with cats on it, some bell bottom slacks with cargo pockets and she's like "OOH! I LIKE THIS STUFF!" and i don't know what she has bought until she puts it on.

i've inadvertently armed her with the ability to shop at home and keep awful, awful, awful clothes without me being involved in the vetting process. 

upside: i'm not shopping with her

downside: i'm not shopping with her

before you get all frisky this isn't one of those "you wear what i say and if i see you in something i haven't approve you get a beating" things. this is "please, for the love of god, no, denim ankle length skirts, denim jackets and denim earrings do not look good" level bad... and it's impacting her self-esteem negatively. NOT BECAUSE I'M SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT (i'm no idiot) but because she isn't getting compliments on her clothes at work, and she feels self-conscious when we're out.... so she has reverted to a default wardrobe of sweatshirts that are 3 sizes too large, and sweatpants.

how do i help her get better at picking clothes, color coordination and just generally understanding what fits without resuscitating What Not To Wear and having her ambushed by cameras at work??

There’s a subreddit for everything

 
I think I have these Bella Canvas Tri-Blend Tees in a dozen colors at this point. 

Stupid soft, great fit, hold up well, and ~$10ea. Available in crew or v-neck. 

Legit 80% of the time I'm wearing those these days. 10% is TM Lewin dress shirts. 10% other random ####. 

 

 
Some of you may have seen those "TikTok leggings" from Amazon that are trending with bored wives. The fabric/texture of these yoga pants are supposed to lift the booty and make it look nice and round.
Well, my wife ordered them. I happened to pick up the mail the day they were delivered and decided to put them on as a joke.

Guys, my toosh looks amazing.  :eek:  
My butt has always been small and bony. Now I have 🎂for days. :wub:  
I'm gonna try to find ones that are fitted for men in time for Valentine's Day.

It’s the butt crack ruching for me. 

 
I got a golf clothes ad last week and noticed the men modeling the ads were wearing shorts that were quite a bit shorter than what we have been used to.  3-4 inches above the knee.   Then watching the LSU-Michigan BB game I noticed 2 LSU players had what was almost the 80s look in BB shorts on.  A little longer than 80s but way shorter than usual.  

So I went on some fashion sites and it appears the shorter shorts are making a come back in style magazines and ads.         Anyone jumping back in?

Jumped back in 5-10 years ago.   Normally go shorter on swimsuits but 5-7 inch inseam on traditional shorts.  If it's at or below your knee, I'd suggest a trip to the tailor.

For about 3 years now in California.

 
But please have a bit of self awareness of your body type before opting for shorter shorts. But if you have all the confidence in the world regardless of your physical appearance, go for it.
