Hmm, are you older than I thought?

Do you have to be old to wear penny loafers?

I don't think you have to be, but both my grandma's have those

Your grandmas have purple penny loafers? They must be pretty cool ladies.

I talked to my mom last night and got some family gossip, apparently my grandma is the sidepiece for some guy who has a girlfriend in Chicago

I may need those shoes actually

Unfortunately I don't see men's in purple. Cole Haan is having a 30% off sale right now though.

i was in their 64112 store yesterday looking at some chukkas but decided to sleep on it. the friends & family goes through today, so if you're going to pull the trigger now is the time.
although, i don't think i've ever bought anything from cole haan at full price.

i have a suede pair of cole haan lunargrand chuckas that i really like except they run about a half size big
i wear a 13, but in these i would need a 12.5 but they don't make them in 12.5
here's the ones i am looking at
http://www.colehaan.com/original-grand-chukka-woodbury-ivory/C20740.html?dwvar_C20740_color=Woodbury-ivory&dwvar_C20740_width=M#cgid=mens_shoes_boots&start=35
they would go w/ jeans or khakis
the lunargrand sole is probably an individual taste thing but after wearing them, i love it, very light and comfortable.

also looking at these-
http://www.timberland.com/shop/timberland-boot-company-mens-collection/mens-timberland-boot-company-wodehouse-chukkas-75509242
i have other boots from tbc and they're really good quality

i'll prob just get the cole haan ones though, w/ 30% off bringing them to just under $200

Have you tried wearing 3 pairs of socks?

Mrs. Gooch · « **Reply #1163 on:** October 19, 2015, 02:05:34 PM »

I have to decide by tomorrow whether to buy these shoes, but I hate not being able to try them on because I have very narrow feet and especially narrow in the heel.

That doesn't work for me because the shoes are generally looser in the heel than the toe. Also, I don't want my feet to be all hot and stuff.

Skipper44 · « **Reply #1166 on:** October 19, 2015, 04:43:49 PM »

Thick insoles can help a loose fit

pissclams · « **Reply #1167 on:** October 19, 2015, 04:56:44 PM »

ya i just prefer to buy shoes that fit properly

Take it to the master dating thread?

When buying shoes (booties, actually) from Cole Haan, what are the widths B or C?

A local leather company might be producing jeans soon. These will actually be made in KC unlike another local denim company's product line

Just found this tie, have not ordered though: http://www.samhober.com/american-college-university-silk-ties/kansas-state-silk-tie-12-purple-and-white.html Kansas State Silk Tie #ECO-12 (Purple & White)

I mostly wear "lavender" shirts from https://www.blanklabel.com/shirts/dress (off-the-rack fits weird)

Every day someone asks me "why are you wearing purple again?" Here is an article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jacquelynsmith/2012/10/05/steve-jobs-always-dressed-exactly-the-same-heres-who-else-does/#50e0c9371ff9 Excerpt: “When you wear something that just feels right, you are confident. And it is also great to have a trademark look. It makes you memorable and distinctive.” Others do it to be more efficient. Take Albert Einstein. It has been reported that the famous physicist bought several versions of the same grey suit because he didn’t want to waste brainpower on choosing an outfit each morning.

Guys, I bought this hat:

The flatty style is a first for me. I wore it to a family gathering and no one said anything derogatory. Might try this a bit.
