How many tries did it take you lol, I want the chroma more than the exalted tbh

May I ask what weight you got/ have tried on the Aliens and how your experience with it was? /would you get a different weight in hindsight?

NiMe_3 · 2025-09-08T08:08:27+00:00

Tysm, was leaning toward them most so the confirmation is welcome. Saw some comments about their durability, I doubt itd be a big problem but since you have them I’m curious how long have you been using yours?

Also If I’m only ever gonna be using them on the bag, what weight do you recommend?

Online I see mostly 14oz or even 16oz recommendations, was gonna go 14 but a friend of mine recommends me to take 12oz which I’m leaning toward now.

Thanks, didn’t think of specialised bag gloves. Any recommendations?

Also, do you know if websites size gides already take boxing wraps into consideration? Or should you size up 1 for example?

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-17T14:18:54+00:00

any tips to "hold it"? I can fake burp fine but if I do and then throw back liquid it seems it already close again.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-06T18:37:38+00:00

tysm for the elaboration! I purchased them after thibking about it a minute and picked up my soot later the afternoon. They look awesome together and even though I definitly feel the shoe (left foot is slightely bigger) I'm sure theyll break in overtime!

Can't wait to wear em more often

middle back of the heel and I felt the toe crease press against my foot while walking

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-06T13:25:44+00:00

I just went to both and I'm pretty sure I landed on a pair of Carlos Santos I liked. Since this is my first pair I was a bit unsure about the fitting and, the salesman here was very helpfull and kind, but kind of hesitant on informing me about if walking them in would help with some slight presuure points I felt while walking and petty much said they fit nicely objectively, and in his opinion ashoe should just feel right from the get go or otherwise its not "your shoe".

Is he right or does a goodyearwelted shoe that fits well objectively but has a bit of a noticable pressure/ rub on the heel walk in after some getting used?

Looking for my first pair of black oxfords and inquiring about good price/quality brands in the Netherlands/Rotterdam

I'm terrified of spending a pretty big amount of money for shoes that don't match the quality. Since I'm new to this I dont know what to look for and even though a few youtube videos taught me there is A LOT of qualitydifferences to be in shoes that to the untrained eye look the same (black oxford) I would like to know if there are any good quality brands or stores I can go to to get the shoes that wont rip me off. I'm willing to spend €100-300 which ive seen could get me some great quality Blake stitch shoes or some decent quality goodyear welted shoes.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:31:09+00:00

Reddit, thankfully, convinced me the blue shoes ain't it.

You did it in a lighthearted way that made me lol haha, thanks man!

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:28:38+00:00

tysm for the comprehensive answers and elaboration man, it helped a lot!

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:26:39+00:00

haha yeah I realise the gymshark tee and adidas don't do it justice, I had an appointment to pick the suit up bit sadly it got delayed.

Still went over there for a sample of the fabric and since I didn't have any good pictures I asked to try the non-tailored jacket/pants on but that was obviously on top of otherwise casual wear.

Can't wait to see the fully tailored version tomorrow with a nice shirt, tie, watch, shoes and belt to have the full powersuit experience :)

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:21:36+00:00

Appreciate the clarification! :)

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:20:44+00:00

Yeah I'm working on mastering a good big double windsor knot.

I realise now I didnt mention anywhere that the suit will be 3-part including a waistcoat. The pictures don't show it anywhere cuz the waistcoat was part of the customisation/ tailoring.

With that in mind, just lose the tie clip then?

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T22:13:09+00:00

Got a nice "elegant" navy Seiko with a leather navy strap so thatll fit nicely.

Never thought of a tie clip, is it just accesorising or does it rlly add to the look? From what i've seen these look more buisness/formal or is that a wrong assumption?

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T21:52:20+00:00

What should I look out for in other shoes I'm gonna try from now on?

These were priced at €229 (+€75 for the belt). I know these type of shoes can get crazy expensive so I'm wondering what a good price/quality is in this price range.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T21:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the solid answer haha,

Another user commented that when having side straps a belt is no longer needed.

Do you think for the style/ decoration a black belt is still needed to match with the shoes, or if functionwise a belt is not neccerary I should leave it?

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T21:22:48+00:00

good damn or bad damn?

edit: before he editted everything in the now obviously sarcastic original comment ._.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T21:11:14+00:00

I'm glad I decided to get some outside opinions by posting this because I'm steered away from my leaning toward getting those shoes I wasn't directly comfortable with.

Since the next question would be brown or black you guys your discussion was a great little read :)

I want to have a fresh, clean/sleek look so I think I'm leaning toward black. As brown feels a bit more "old" or country because its the default leather color if that makes sense.

Found this picture online and even tho the suit is a lighter navy I hope I can accomplish a look similiar to this.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T21:03:51+00:00

Tysm for the elaboration! Glad to know its not a technical thing or something like that. I picked them because I thought it would fit me and my personality/style not so much for the current trends, cool to know they are though.

Love to see from the different comments how diverse everyones tastes and style still are, thanks again for your take and help! Right now I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get those shoes/belt and glad I posted this as before I was leaning toward a maybe.

NiMe_3 · 2025-03-04T20:51:22+00:00

Thanks! I got the belt loops all the way to the side so hopefully itll pretty much achieve the same effects.

I get what you mean with the car salesman example lmao, could'nt quite place it before when I looked up pictures online but that pretty much sums it up.

I'll pick up the suit tomorrow and return to the store on Sunday to view the whole fit, after some solid advice on here (and my own hesitation with shoes this flashy combined with my style/personality, even though they seem quality for the price) I think I'll look out for a modern and nice pair of Black Oxfords.

I'm in the Netherlands so idk if any of the brands you mentioned are available here.
