Andrew, you know me so well! I saw that Wallet on Uncrate last week and set a notification on Kickerstart to alert me before the deal was done so I can order it.
Paul R Sanders
Not seeing that color/style of Levis when I hit the link. How can I get my hands on those?
JS
You can see them here: http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12310151&view=all&&cp=3146842.3146845.3146858.11926204
Andrew
If you click the link it’s the 511 Skinny in “Revolver” color. I actually picked up a pair while making the Getup. I’ve been looking for a grayish pair of pants.
Michael
Nice boots! I’ve been looking for an introductory pair, something affordable for me to try out before investing in a more expensive pair. Anyone have experience?
Andrew
No first-hand experience, but Sebago is known for making great boat shoes, their boots are probably pretty decent quality, especially for the price.
Michael
Glad to hear it.
If anyone is interested, I picked up the Sebago Waldo boots on overstock for $57 shipped: http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Sebago-Mens-Waldo-Leather-Boots/6748784/product.html
WCM
I love this outfit. Especially the pants. I’ve been wanting something like those for a while now.
GoKingsGo
As was already mentioned, what color/style Levi’s are those? The link didn’t shed any light. Also, unrelated but anybody know of a similar site/blog that lays outfits but for women ? Thanks
JS
The pants can be found here: http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12310151&view=all&&cp=3146842.3146845.3146858.11926204
Andrew
They’re the 511 Skinny in Revolver. Try the link again, it’s now working on my end.
Daniel Ballou
I can’t seem to get to that sweater on lands end, is it just my browser?
Daniel Ballou
Hm, sweater link still won’t work for me but I found it going through lands end’s website. http://www.landsend.com/pp/mens-meridian-cotton-wool-button-mock-sweater~245489_59.html?sku_0=::219
Andrew
What was the link doing when you clicked on it? I’m trying to troubleshoot these link problems.
Daniel Ballou
It looks like it is about to link to Lands end and says “forwarding to lands ends’ site” then it says www.anrdoezrs.net will not load.
Andrew
Thanks so much. If you get a chance try it again and see if it still does it. What browser are you using?
Daniel Ballou
Still seems to have a problem, I am using Chrome on a mac and I just tried using firefox and had the same issue.
I actually ordered it, but I found it just by searching their site and not through the link.
adamryan1983
This is probably my favorite get-up so far.
Andrew
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Kevin
let’s say you wanted to wear a coat and it’s colder out…my only winter boots are of a similar color to those in this getup, but my only warm winter coat is black (pea-coat ish). problem?
Andrew
I think you can make it work. Maybe keep the rest of your outfit in line with the boots versus matching the coat.

I highly, highly recommend checking out Thorogood boots. Made in America, vibram soles,waterproof, sexy as all hell. $126.
Noah G
I’m getting the boots and the trousers for sure! great post
Zach
Would these boots be okay in the snow and rain (if waterproofed)? I’m not planning on hiking in them or anything, but I’d like to be able to wear my boots out in the world without worrying about it too much.
Jen
LOVE Frank & Oak. Great picks! Always love what this site puts up.
