Andrew, I’ve gotta say I really like having a picture of the Getup assembled and worn. Sometimes it’s hard to picture in my mind’s eye how it will all fit together. Well done, as usual.
Ryan
I agree, I constantly wonder about sizing for this stuff since places like Macy’s have yet to get on the men’s fashion wagon. The picture gives me a good idea of overall cut of the product.
Dmitri
The picture really does help! Great as usual, although the watch does seen a little tame.
Adam
I think the watch has some nice subtle detail. Clearly upscale, but not gaudy.
Casey
The watch is great. Orient makes some of the best watches you may never have heard of.
Drew
@ef93d5f68b27f90f37baa3af67f45bee:disqus I have a watch similar to this. It’s a subtle detail that completes for a casual outfit or a business casual get-up. Any simple face watch with a classic brown leather band can go with almost 75% of your get-ups for the week.

Solid items. I’m diggin the shawl sweater.
And true, having items that are multi-purpose is important in keeping a piece of clothing over time. I have shirts that I could only wear in a suit, and I don’t wear them anymore because I don’t wear a suit that often. Time to toss those out and replace ’em.
PS.You have a Daniel Craig look going on in that picture
Leroy Dankins
Glad I’m not the only one, I too thought Daniel Craig.
Andrew
Youuuuuuu. I like you.
DC
Can’t find that shawl collar sweatshirt on the Levi’s site 🙁
DC
Also, neither is the jacket =(
Andrew
Yeah unfortunately as I mentioned a couple of the items are available in-store only, which I didn’t know when I picked them up. They have plenty of stores around, see if there’s one near you http://us.levi.com/storeLocator/
DC
Will do! Thanks. They do have the sweatshirt on the ASOS website but available to ship in the US. bleh..
Drew
Express and Gap have similar styles of this shawl sweater. I also found one on the cheaps at H&M.
Bo
Great, great look here! That shawl collar sweater is nice, for sure. I also have those Herringbone trousers, and the fit is excellent. Very sharp in the photo, too!
Hector
Hey Guys! I seen a very similar belt for $18 at H&M, it’s not EXACTLY the same but pretty damn close! Instead of paying over $100. Just looking out! Happy Holidays!
Tom
I like those pants, sweater, and jacket. Another home run here.
Allen
This is a solid look. However, the sweater would be much more versatile if it didn’t have the front pocket.
Andrew
That’s what I like about it – without the pocket the dressiness factor goes up.
Husker
I have been looking at those boot for a while now and am curious how they are with traction? I live in the midwest and am not sure how the traction would be in rain/snow/ice.
Andrew
They have leather soles so are more akin to dress shoes. Wouldn’t do very well in that scenario. Check out these two as alternatives:

I just picked up a pair of LL Bean’s Katahdin boots in the new cordovan color. Love them, and they’re very workboot-y. I live just outside of Chicago and work in an office but I frequently need to go back into our manufacturing shop, so these do a very nice job splitting the difference. Plus, they’ve been great for this cold rain we’ve been getting so far http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/78205?feat=katahdin-SR0&page=katahdin-iron-work-engineer-boots-plain-toe-men-s&attrValue_0=Cordovan&productId=1292313
Chris Jones
Love the herringbone trousers. I’d love to find a pair!
Justin
Definitely appreciate this live-action get up. 2 questions: are the boots in the picture the Brown or Cordovan? I’m digging your haircut – how would one tell their barber to cut their hair to achieve the same look?
Andrew
Thanks! The boots are brown according to the box, though I know they look like the cordovan.
Showing your barber the gosling should get you close:

Brock
Looking good, Andrew! Great seeing the getup put into action. Cool spot for a photo, too.
CP
I wish I could get these pants in Canada, no luck from Levi’s here.
Luke
Showing the fits like this is great! More of this please Andrew!
Sean
Love this Getup as well as the assembled photo. Its cool to see the whole outfit together. Unfortunately here in FL I will never need both top two layers, maybe one or the other. I agree with the other comments, you got a hint of Daniel Craig going on! Great work.
