Im going to DSW at lunch today to see if they have those shoes. Ive been looking for a nice pair of wing tips for awhile now and that price looks pretty fair
Jonathan
they had some cole haans that were identical but in a lighter brown look for 149.99. i liked how they fit more since they offered in 1/2 sizes as well. both looked great. they had them right up front when i walked in.
Tom
I’m a big Cole Haan fan. They are my go-to for comfort right out of the box.
Stevon
I have those herringbone pants from Gap. I love them. Not quite as drapey as the picture makes them seem. They also have a slimmer leg hole opening which is nice as well.
Andrew
Are yours the slim fit? Currently it’s saying they’re out of stock (they were in stock yesterday) but they also have a pair in “relaxed fit” which look way too drapey in the photo, but maybe they’re not so bad in person.
Stevon
Yeah, I bought the slim fit.
db
Where could I get pants similar to that style, since gap is out of stock?
Travis
I want to say I saw something similar from Clairborne at JC Penny when I was there yesterday. They were 50% off which put them at about 19.99 if memory serves.
Bryce Levet
I highly recommend checking out the JCPenney Merino Wool V Neck. The quality is good for the price and it’s a great cheap alternative to the Nordstorm one here. In store you can get at least 15% off in addition. I bought two out the door with tax for $37.

Jano
Love the two options and colors used in this setup. Aside from the Frank&Oak shirt I have almost everything listed.
Lance
Andrew – Is there any concern that the tie and pants match too much? Or does the sweater nullify that concern?
Andrew
There’s only a tiny portion of the tie poking out, and they’re not next to each other so I wouldn’t worry about it. The the tie is similar but a bit lighter.
