I bet they are quality but they're not the business. No offense but they look like orthopedic old man shoes, you can't be rocking those with the dope turtle necks that you bought from Suit Supply.

Yeah Alden's are quite bulky because they have a more traditional English last which are generally wider. I actually wear inserts in them :lolbron:

@GigoloGeoff I do like AEs but they tend to not be as comfortable for me.

But many of my other shoes are Spanish/Italian. I sort of gotten rid of most of my Allen Edmonds. I had some of the AE Strands and they were too tight on me. Many of the Aldens as you mentioned were too bulky.

Most of my shoes outside of my athletic stuff.

The double monk straps and the suede loafers are dope. When I'm wearing jeans those two are usually my first choice.

I bought them suede loafer joints for my birthday last month. :blessed:

I love suede man. I got the Chelsea Boots in 2016 also and they still look rugged when I rock them. I get my love of shoes from my dad.

Semi casual wear has been and always will be the wave, that's why Ralph is everlasting
Polo's, Pullovers, button downs, turtlenecks and certain types of jackets (shearlings, certain denim)
Paired with some quality, form fitting denim and you good
Just bagged a 30 year old jawn at the post office a few weeks ago, told her I was 27:whew:

Spier and Mackay has some awesome sales on suits. They sell 100% merino wool suits for under $500 which is a steal, throw in another $100 for tailoring and you have a suit that would easily sell for 1k for $600 maybe a little more. They don't have my size but maybe you guys can come up.

I've started my grown man shyt for a while but I'm in my mid 30s. Picked up some turtlenecks from Suitsupply last night.

I tried them on for my GF last night and they turned her on. I had a good night. :wow:

Smooth. That brown one tho. Might have to go pick up.

Those were around $200-$300?

My friend is ALL about Spier and Mackay. I may hop on some of their basics because their pricing can't be beat. I tried to get a linen shirt from them but I felt it to be too big and heavy though.

Yeah funny story is my girlfriend said "I think you should keep both of them" when I was deciding to keep one or the other. They were $120 a piece.

You can be a baller though and spend $328 and buy these cashmere ones but I'm not on that level yet. :russ:

Haha girlfriends will never steer you wrong. But sometimes they’ll tell you not to get something cause they know you’ll attract more hoes. :mjlol:
