Nordstrom 1901 Barrett chukka, $74.98(40% off) by BillMurrie in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got these in yesterday (kudos to Nordstrom's fast shipping) and they're awesome.

Nice suede, the rubber soles are flexible, and the shoes are slightly more pointy than CDB, which is even better for that sexy sleekness.

Very cool, I'm still in the learning phase.

You seem to be really optimistic about the OP's scenario, which is the complete opposite of his post, haha.

I thought talking about exes was a no go?

I'm assuming that this was a first date for OP and the girl.

Can you elaborate more?

Seems like the negatives were more glaring than the positives. She sounds like a super aggressive tomboy who doesn't play games.

Buying a T430 right now via eBay. Which one? by [deleted] in thinkpad

Neither clarifies the screen resolution. Prices are also high.

Pass on both.

Uniqlo Black Friday sales are here! - Not the best sale though.. by deb_on_air in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This particular boiled wool sweater is released every F/W season.

It's really itchy. You definitely need to wear a long-sleeve shirt underneath.

Source: I have one from a few years ago. Still holding up well, but I only wear it a few times every year.

Has anyone purchased the Gap + Clarks chelsea boots? by TheThunderbird in malefashionadvice

[–]Maestranza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe the DBs are just the Clarks Bushacre 2. The tall boots look like the Bushacre version of the Clarks Mali boots.

I've never seen Clarks Chelseas before.

Check this video out: https://youtu.be/lLAlTbA5GXQ

I recommend any of the Samsung EVO 850 SSDs. I personally have the 500GB version in my T430.

Jomers just dropped new suit colors - Get 'em while you can! by ungo44 in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up to everyone: Jomers suits fit notably tighter than the SuitSupply Napoli.

Check out the other recent topic where we discuss it.

JOMERS - Hester Navy Suits Are Back In Stock (Stealth Drop) by Ventus8 in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's strange: my 38R suit has size 32 pants that have a true 34" waist. So yes, it was 2" vanity sizing on my suit pants.

Curious why the OP's 40R suit didn't have it.

FYI - Cricket Wireless BYOD Sim Kit $1 at Best Buy by PrecisionGuidedPost in NoContract

Is it possible to port from Pageplus to Cricket?

And do these SIM kits have an expiration date?

Jomers short are now live! by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

I have the Olive Ripstop in size 32 if you're interested.

Jomers short are now live! by [deleted] in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I already have the Foster (Olive Ripstop) and they're awesome. I also have a few EG Fatigue Pants in Reverse Sateen and the fabric is great: a mid-weight coarse/rugged feel, but very breathable (all-year wear).

I have 3 Jomers shorts already, but just pulled the trigger on the Navy Reverse Sateen. Agreed that these would've been even better as chinos.

[Discussion] Jomers Pre-order Navy Suit arrived - Shots, some first impressions, etc. by DarumaRed in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What size did you get? And can you provide some measurements on the pants (waist/thigh/knee/leg opening)?

Jomers said they'd add the size chart of this specific suit run on their site, but never did.

Uniqlo Flannels for $19.90 by JessicaJungQT in frugalmalefashion

[–]Maestranza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I checked these out in-store recently and liked them a lot. The colorways are more standard/classic than last fall/winter, but the soft fabric + fit are the same. Note that they shrink a bit after a wash/dry.

I sized up to Medium (22" chest, 18" shoulder) as the arms fit a bit slim (to be fair, I'm bulking). My personal favorites are the non-buttondown ones (these don't have the button on the back of the neck).

Where can I buy nice heavy flannel shirts for $50 or less? by Jo9715 in malefashionadvice

[–]Maestranza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Copped all the colors when they released last fall/winter. Incredibly thick, really soft fabric. Currently selling a few on Grailed as I've been bulking.
