I'm really a fan of [URL="https://www.jackthreads.com/lrg/jackets--outerwear/coats--jackets/cobra-kind-bomber/products/164105?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA&kpid=164105_576509&gclid=CjwKEAiA7ZajBRCpur2xi47n1zkSJADqV2WloLEg6zfKtOOrmKK_u7nUXEyyDgqhUERV1jCLiFhx8BoCEsHw_wcB&vortexd=174"]these[/URL] [URL="https://www.jackthreads.com/alpha-industries/jackets--outerwear/coats--jackets/ma-1-flight-jacket/products/153385"]two[/URL] since, these all good or are they shitty brands? (Jackthreads also has 20% off everything right now too...)

really dig the MA-1 because its an actual flight jacket used in vietnam and korea, main company who makes it used to make it for the military
That Urban Renewal jacket is made by Urban Outfitters and they're generally good quality. It's also $50 cheaper from Jack Threads than it is from the main site.

go to asos and search "bomber", or poke around on H&M's website, or you could go for alpha industries, they're a bit more expensive, but they're pretty much the gold standard of bombers

all im saying is how the jackets look depends heavily on how the photo is taken
this is how its advertised on amazon:

whats a good pair of boots that are decently comfy and go with almost anything?
that or a pair of shoes that lets me wear wool socks more often I have huge problems with circulation in my toes so they're almost needed when it gets cold
madisons are the most comfortable boot ive owned
[QUOTE=Rusty100;46517704]madisons are the most comfortable boot ive owned[/QUOTE]
I'll look around then.
What do you think? I did the douchiest face trying to look at my camera without looking down. aviators definitely needed, duh.

Indeed it is, it was working for me but now it's not. I'll remind to imgur after class
are earth colored tweed suits acceptable to own. because i think they look cool for sure, but i'm wondering if its the same kind of cool as a fedora, where they would be cool in their intended setting (back in the 40s) but are just cancer now. (ok because of their popularity among social retards maybe a fedora is a bad example, but you get my point)

undeniably looks cool. but it looks too casual for formal wear and too formal for casual wear
[editline]18th November 2014[/editline]
i suppose what i'm trying to say is it looks anachronistic
just absolutely fedorable
if you have to ask you can't pull it off.

It looks good in a photo shoot, but a greasy neckbeard wouldn't be able to pull it off
that looks like it would be very overdressed for 99% of occasions that would justify a suit
[editline]18th November[/editline]
would be like going black-tie to a local barbeque

don't wear this unless you happen to attend cambridge or oxford
[QUOTE=FreddiRox!;46521274]It looks good in a photo shoot, but a greasy neckbeard wouldn't be able to pull it off[/QUOTE]
well i'm not a greasy neckbeard. and can a greasy neckbeard really pull anything off?
nonetheless, it is as i thought. it's a shame they look so nice and yet cannot be pulled off.
is my jacket all good or did i fuck up
i can still maybe return it to amazon if its not good
you know, i actually think it only looks overly formal because its both a three piece suit and its brown. i think tweed suits in general needn't necessarily be that way

Might get the white one
everyone on the internet is a greasy neckbeard until proven otherwise
I have a relative who rocks that look but he owns a farm and talks like a cambridge professor
Alright so undershirts, should I wear anything underneath my black suit and white dress shirt? I can see my nips underneath if I take off the jacket and since it's a wedding reception, most likely I'll be taking off my jacket to dance later in the night.
