Denim sure seems to be "in" right now, but I just can't get myself to wear any denim, other than jeans.

OK. Any suggestions for under 100?ooofhttp://m.zappos.com/sperry-top-sider-mako-2-eye-canoe-moc
Went with these over the Tretorn's for a casual shoe. Snagged a nice slightly used pair on eBay for $20. They look almost new.

I'm not a boat-shoe guy, but that particular shoe is horrible. too heavy-handed with the heel and thick sole.

Here we go. Head over to the Style Forum, Major. You seem like a really great guy. Maybe drop $400 on some suede hightops.

Yes, it has a thick sole. I get why some wouldn't like it. I was looking for something with a little more comfort and didn't care for the authentic Sperry's.

Don't worry, I have a few used pairs I dont wear anymore (slight odor, possible remnants of dog poo on sole). I'll let them go to you for $50. Let me know.

Alright, Major. Bring something of use to the thread besides horrible schtick and outrageously expensive clothes. You don't like my suggestions, that's fine. Suggest some reasonable things and leave the insults for somewhere else. Not everyone wants to spend large sums of money on clothes. You don't own any of the stuff you suggest anyway.

From what I can tell, you seem to be shot-gunning your wardrobe with $30-80 items. I suggest slowing down, taking your time, and buying fewer and nicer items that might cost a little more but that you will appreciate more and will stand the test of time.OK.

But I'm more than happy to go cheap if it's somethign I like. and am willing to see as more disposable (won't be doing this with socks any more though- I've gone cheap socks lately in 3-packs and the these things get holes too ####### fast

Outside of a nicer pair of shoes or a blazer/suit, I'm not paying $80 ore more for an article of clothing. I'm just not when you can get quality stuff for much less. A couple guys in here have made it clear that they don't like Dappered. If that's the case, we're at two opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm not a "Style Forum" type guy, but there is room for different styles out there. Unfortunately, some of the people who spend a lot of money on clothes think anything less than the best is beneath them, so they call everything else garbage. I'm not that guy, nor will I ever be.This is my approach as well.From what I can tell, you seem to be shot-gunning your wardrobe with $30-80 items.

I'll continue to post things I buy in here and some of the good deals out there. The guys around here are big boys. They can make their own decisions. Guys like Major come across like children with what they post. I'm not sure if the dude really thinks that way or its just terrible shtick. Either way, it looks foolish.

Driving mocs are bad enough, but I can stomach those.

Setting a limit on what you pay is fine. IME, you get what you pay for- so usually the things that are deep-discounted have issues, either design or construction-wise.Outside of a nicer pair of shoes or a blazer/suit, I'm not paying $80 ore more for an article of clothing.

Sure, that's how it usually works but it doesn't mean you can't get great deals. The settings where you spend most of your time should also affect what you buy, not to mention geographic location. I'd love to drive a Porsche, but it's not happening at this point in my life. Limits should be set on everything.

There's you in a nutshell, Major. Nice job. It's probably why this thread has been so dead for so long.

Just bought these BR oxfords for $70 with promo code. Nice casual shoe for jeans or slacks.

I used your BR codes to get three more pima cotton tees. Even got free shipping out of it because the sub total was over $50 even though the final total was $28 out the door.

I'm with flapgreen on that one, though those boat shoes are not my style (I rock boat shoes, but not all brown).
Here's my general guideline max price, though I'll make exceptions if I really dig a piece....
Plain t-shirts $15
Printed t-shirts $25
Collared shirts $40
Jeans $60
Chinos $50
Sweaters $40
I couldn't justify paying much more for those pieces. Cheapest way to make sure clothes fit well and look good on you..... workout.

I can't speak for everybody in this thread, but my tastes and attitudes towards fashion fall somewhere between flapgreen and major.
I don't mind spending more on some quality pieces of clothing I really like and if I can get them at sale prices....all the better.
