So does the Henley go over or under the button down or is it completely separate?
James Sowers
My guess is henley under the chambray. Pairs nicely with the tan chinos and the grey Vans.
Andrew
It goes under, this one is pretty thin.
Luke
Love, love, love all of the getups you do. Any chance we could get a spring/summer beach wedding one? Keep it up! 😀
Gmoney-zero
Dude thanks for posting this stuff and keep it up. Your articles have kept me from shopping like a clod many a time.
Andrew
Awesome! 🙂
Classic
the RW 875 is the perfect casual boot
Ken
I have a henley and chambray already. The “timeless” pair of chinos would be a good addition to most guy’s wardrobes.
Christopher Dello Russo
I really like how you offer some cheaper alternatives for the items in the ensemble. I work on a pretty tight budget and I appreciate any chance to save a buck or two.
Definitely keep it going with future The Getups 🙂
Amond
Nice paring, “The Getup” is my favorite continuing post on this website.
jbird669
Thanks for doing this! I also appreciate the frugal alternatives.
John Jensen
Shirt stays untucked, yes?
Jim
Boy, check out that timex. Took them longer than I expected to copy wood and faulks design.
Chris Jones
It’s just a basic weekender.
Ben
AFAIK that isnt a standard weekender strap. People throw on leather straps all the time.
Kyle
The Thorogood 804 is a similar boot to those redwings if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative. They are in the $150 range I believe.

Thanks for that! To be honest, I think I like the look of those even more than the Red Wings.
Brad New
Hey Andrew,
It looks like you are missing your “share” icons. Would like to put this on Pinterest! Always a fan. Thanks
Chris Jones
The issue I have with chambray is that it often looks a bit too much like a jean shirt (like the one above REALLY looks like something my in-laws from southwest missouri would wear). I’d like to find a really nice chambray, but still worry that friends wouldn’t know the difference.
Andrew
Mine from 20jeans just came and it’s definitely more work shirt than jean shirt.
Chris Jones
That one is MUCH better. I’ve actually been looking at one from Target. I don’t think it’s ACTUALLY chambray but I still like it: http://www.target.com/p/merona-men-s-button-down-indigo/-/A-15101005#prodSlot=medium_1_1
Andrew
Oh yeah, nice. A little more dress shirt-y.

I’ve got the Gap chambray as pictured above and it actually doesn’t resemble a denim shirt in person. A very nice shirt both in the fabric and fit.
Also, sorry for the down rating, my mouse got twitchy when I tried to click on reply.
Chris Jones
No worries, and thanks for the info! 🙂 Thinking of getting a chambray shirt from Proper Cloth 🙂
Patrick
That bomber jacket is so out of place. Black is not a very versatile color, and It doesn’t look good with the earthy tones mentioned elsewhere in the article.
Someone
Click through. The jacket is actually navy.
Rt1583
It’s navy.
Someone
No belt?
Abomber
uniqlo is also offering the same chambray shirt at half the cost of the gap shirt. Just ordered and it is a great quality shirt.
stevembk
I still don’t get how people fit into slim fit jeans/chinos.
