I have really broad shoulders. None of that skinny shit works for me either. I do wear slim fit shirts, but it usually takes me some time to find one that fits just right. I will be shopping for some new dress shirts this weekend. Need some new ties too. Anyone know of any sales happening right now? ---

A buddy of mine took me to a store in Ottawa the other day where this guy runs a retail store selling only his brand of socks: [http://moxymaus.com/](http://moxymaus.com/) He was running some crazy promotion that prompted us to buy 12 pairs right away. I’ve been wearing them for a few days and I have to say that i really like them. The quality I would say is almost as good as Duchamp / Paul Smith / Thomas Pink (only time will tell) socks but they are half the price or less. I believe he said they were made in Turkey or Portugal which to me beats made in China any day. They also have a beefed up band at the top that holds them up very very well. Some of their patterns are more mild argyles, dots or stripes but they also have some super funky coloured ones that I would say are just as fun to wear as some of the best from Duchamp. my favs that i scooped are: ![http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/690655/](http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/690655/) ![http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/690656/](http://www.styleforum.net/content/type/61/id/690656/) ---

Bing will be proud, I picked up my new pair of dress shoes from Cole Haan in the outlet mall. \<$100. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-02-24150729_zpsd0ff7dfe.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/Thorguitarist/2013-02-24150729_zpsd0ff7dfe.jpg) Also picked up a belt, tie, and pants (need to be tailored) from Calvin Klein. Dress Shirt and Socks from Banana Republic. Also got a sweater but realized it was a small when I got home. ---

Cole Haan has really come around since being sold by Nike to a PE firm. Their most recent offerings are actually cool and modern whereas for the past few years they were pretty shit. I actually bought a pair of CH shoes for work 4 years ago and returned them after one day at work. I was at the outlet last week there in NF and seriously considered buying some of the boots they had for 60% off. $350 boots (that would be over $400 in Canada) for just over $100??? yes please. My brother and I are actually going to plan a road trip to Woodbury Common just outside NYC. It’s one of the best outlets in the world from what i understand. Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise FL is pretty epic and this is supposed to be on-par with a number of one-and-only outlets like Tom Ford among others. yeah srsly… [**LINK**](http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/store_listing.asp?id=7#s_designerFashions) brunello bottega ventta brioni tom ford Carolina Herrara Dunhill Dior Gucci James Perse Loro Piana Missoni Marni Moncler Prada Roberto Cavalli Saks Ferragamo Thomas Pink Valentino Versace YSL cant wait to make a 6 hour drive just to look at heavily discounted stuff i still cant afford… ---

Went to the Burberry store…holy fuck, way too expensive. The Hugo Boss store has some good deals on denim and some shirts. I’m contemplating hitting up CK again for a suit. ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > Went to the Burberry store…holy fuck, way too expensive. The Hugo Boss store has some good deals on denim and some shirts. I’m contemplating hitting up CK again for a suit. yeah the burberry store has some good deals in the back though. a lot of the burberry stuff is genuinely worth the premium. they make some awesome gear. i’m sure i’ve mentioned it here before but the CK suit i bought there is a throw away now… the glue that fuses the jacket together is weakening… the whole thing is falling apart. the Hugo boss suit is the same deal… at least the CK suits are like $250… the Boss ones are almost twice that and they don’t fit as well and are not any better quality. The burberry london suits are fantastic… the ones made in italy, not portugal. ---

Picked up a pair of Alden Chukkas a few months ago for winter - rubber sole with goodyear welt.

those are great boots.

I can get Aldens for half off, which is why I have been leaning towards them… but I tend to agree with you on a lot of their shoes. > [@bing](#): > > those are great boots.
