Sean
I always love the getups, but I have one question. I am 6’5″, so i was wondering where i could find similar shoes in a 14-15 size?
Andrew

DUDE thanks for the large size shoe options
Ryan
Andrew, any tips on how to wear the cardigan? Buttoned vs. un-buttoned, sleeves rolled or not, shirt underneath tucked or un-tucked, etc? Cardigans intimidate me.
Andrew
I would probably do one roll of the shirt sleeves over top the cardigan, buttoning 2-3 of the middle sweater buttons. Tucked/untucked depends on where you’re going and if you want to dress it up or dress it down. Cardigans are super easy to pull off with the right partners; dark jeans, shirt, nice shoes. Try a dark gray to start.
Ryan
Thanks! I’ll give it a try.
Zthoren
I go buttoned, shirt tucked (usually) with sleeves down (not rolled) with shirtsleeves peaking out at the wrist to show contrast on the arms. I like my cardigans to fit more snug than normal sweaters and this style suits me that way.
Zthoren
note, never button the bottom cardigan button. Sometimes not the second one up either.
Cheyenne
I have the shirt from JCPenney’s. I have to say that it has quickly become my “go-to”. Thanks for including it in a getup! Also, Buffalo Trace is very popular with the crowd I run with.
Andrew Roth
Not bad. The only thing I’d add is that if you’re pushing the price range to include JWB, you should really also have Redbreast 12 on that list as well.
Ethan
Tried that Cardigan on this weekend, and wasn’t a big fan. The V rose very high on the shirt (think deep V-neck shirt territory), and the fit was baggy. As an alternative, I’d suggest the Gap merino cardigan (found here: http://goo.gl/q1RD8). With the frequent sales, it should be able to be found in the $40 range, and had much better construction.
Jano
Good setup and always a huge fan of Johnnie Walker. The cardigan throws me off a bit. I love the color combination but am iffy on the style of it.
Jake
hey andrew, remember that LEC tweed herringbone blazer we love so much? fortunately (or unfortunately, as you’ll soon see,) i lost around 35 pounds since i bought it for 86 bucks, and it now fits me like a tent. I’ve been sizing down from a 42 to a 40 in everything i own, (expensive) – i was hoping you’d know of an affordable option for asimilar jacket
Donny Wisor
I actually got this cardigan at Target yesterday….I’m loving it.
Noe Garcia
are those pants dark grey?
David
Can someone enlighten me? Which Levi’s am I looking at here?
Chappys4life
What color are the pants? I think they are dark grey. Could you sub in dockers?
Austin
Hey Andrew, I’ve been scouring the web and was not able to find those shoes, any suggestions??? Thanks !!!
Andrew

I picked up the JCP shirt for $14 today. Great fit!
mikenike
where did you pick it up from
ColbyJH
On a clearance rack at JC Penney.
mikenike

It appears that JCP no longer offers it. It was a JCP exclusive.
