Keep up the excellent work.

I haven’t wore NB since high school and can’t remember how they fit? I’m 10.5 in DB and 11 in Nike and Vans – any help would be appreciated.
Ron
I think an 11 should be the way to go! I wear a 10 in CDB and 11 in Nike as well. I’ve generally found New Balance and Nike have similar sizing.

Thank ya, sir

Finally a way for me to wear my brown corduroys!
Marc
Great look!
Swap the shoes for bucks and the pants for chinos and you got my winter “uniform” in the office. Comfortable, presentable, and not overly dressy. It’s great for an office where everyone wears jeans and an ill-fitting polo or t-shirt and you don’t want to also look like shit.

FYI, Orion is 18% off sitewide right now! Knocks almost $10 off the belt! Also, you can use FirstimeOLC for an added $10 off. Saves you almost $20 bucks and for a belt of that quality, that’s a steal!

It looks good on the model, but damn if I didn’t detest crew neck sweatshirts when I was a kid. Their comeback makes me want to hatepuke.
I’ve always wondered, though, with everything untucked, what keeps it all from riding up on you throughout the day, short of constantly running perimeter checks and yanking it back down?
Marc
I tuck in my shirts when wearing a sweater (personal taste), but I would assume the bottom of the sweater will hold the shirt in place (unless you’re really moving around).
TJ
I have a grey crewneck sweatshirt that I like to wear all the time, I’m glad they’re making a comeback. I’d probably throw on some blucher mocs or brown suede wingtips in place of the sneakers but over all nice look.

Don’t buy that watch. It’s super tiny and you’ll never want to wear it.
Andrew
That’s why I like it!
AJBoilanger
I bought that watch because of another post on Primer (I think…) and I wear it almost every day. Definitely got a ton of value out of it for what it costs.
Dan McKeown
I love the Live Action Getups. Keep these up!!!
Gary Burt
i volunteer to model the next get up! lol Nice post andrew!
Ross
Not a big fan of the sneakers with the outfit. Something to me looks out of place once you get to the footwear. I would probably prefer a brown leather moc toe boot. Anyone think that would work with this Getup?
