jacob
the outfit is good, but what are you doing in the last picture???
Andrew
Hey Jacob! Not sure I follow?
Jacob
The last picture of him jumping off the sidewalk
Andrew
I can’t find anything wrong with it.
Dave Oeskovic
It’s not just you. it’s weird, like he’s pushing off the edge of the sidewalk.
Andrew
Haha yeah just a cool action shot, photos of people just standing around gets kind of boring to look at and to shoot.
Jacob Crim
Not likely. It is already 90 degrees in North Carolina 🙁
Brad
Same. Consistently in the 80’s here in StL. I think this guy’s Canadian, though, so I guess I can forgive him.
Andrew
Lucky you! 🙂 A lot of us are still in the 50s and 60s. You can check out the Summer Style section until then:

I had the same thought when I first saw this post (I’m in Salt Lake City where 90+ temps are fast approaching). However, after browsing through Andrew’s link below, I revisited the “April Heat Wave” getup. It features a Uniqlo tee that’s very similar to the sweater above for only $15!
dg
Cool. I’m from SLC also.. heeeey lol
Cale
The shoes worn are the Nike Killshots II avaliable from J. Crew for around $70 for anyone interested.
Andrew
Hi Cale, we talk about that in the article, the Killshots have been discontinued and aren’t available anymore, unfortunately. They’re really popular.
Cale
Oh, sorry about that. I knew they were sold out, but I was unaware they were discontinued. That’s too bad, because they’re great shoes.
Andrew
I know! I’m super bummed.
Juan
What are your thoughts on the parka? I need something for rainy weather that looks good.
Ron DeGregorio
Not sure what happened to my comment, but what are your thoughts on this outfit for guys who are a bit more rotund. I feel like the horizontal stripes may accentuate a belly or love-handles.
Thoughts?
Zac Silk
Are there any alternatives to the Berton sweater picturered? I may have miscounted on the ASOS one, but to my count it’s more than 21.
I was just wondering as if I’m going to buy one is like it to be authentic. Many thanks guys.
Andrew
That was just the original military design from back in the day. Most don’t have 21 anymore.
Zac Silk
Thanks for clearing that up Andrew! Now I’ll go out and get one knowing that. 🙂
Omer Anwar Al Amin
What Nike’s are those?
DG
I can never find jeans in a 28 or 29 waist with 32 length *even though I’m 30/31) b/c of vanity sizing and I loathe low waist. SO I went over to Banana Republic and ordered some Traveler Jeans (expensive), but actually have diff. sizes that look amazing. Gap.. copy your sister BR

For everyone looking for the Killshot 2 , you should check out the Nike Sb Zoom Skate shoes . You can customize them like I did in the link above and they have a very similar look
Andrew
Great alternative!

So sad that Nike Disco’d the Killshots. Love my pair. Officially putting them into semi-retirement for this summer so I can keep them looking new.
