Feeling Weejuns heel block underfoot?

I recently got a pair of vintage Weejuns. I really love them, but one thing that bothers me is that I can clearly feel the heel block/cap under my foot. The edge (circled in red in the picture) of it digs into the bottom of my foot. Is this normal? Considering it’s just a leather outsole, I guess it makes sense that I can feel it.

3 questions from 1 pic here of me

I feel like I’ve been doing good at feeling more confident putting together outfits, however the still feel like I need a lot of advice. 1. I’m trying to wear my black boots more in general over white sneakers. Why I took the photo was because I feel like with a simple jeans and T-shirt outfit like this it feels off to me? Or am I the one who’s off on that. I feel like it’s the T-shirt that’s making it not work but idk 🤷‍♂️ 2. I have a lot of wider bottoms and oversized T-shirts. I think the wider bottoms work well with my body type (balancing my wider shoulders), but I feel more regular or fitted shirts might end up looking better than the oversized in the picture. I just bring it up, because I’m not sure if that’s me judging my body and how clothing looks on me incorrectly, or if I might be onto something? (Crazy amount of body dysmorphia😅)...

looking for Tie recommendations and if certain items work together?

sorry about the dirty mirror! I cleaned it after I took these photos Just picked up this suit from Todd Snyder on a deep sale. The photos with a black tie are something that I know will work but I’m trying to find other tie options. Any recommendations on other solid color ties? I’m open to patterns as well but I worry that they will clash with the pinstripe on the suit. My next question is if the Blue tie goes? I’m thinking it would be better if the blue was a darker blue but I’d be curious to hear opinions?...

ID of a sweater bought used

Just lost this sweater and I love it, so would love to get a new one. It was a bit thick and of course has a very distinct zipper. Thank you so much...

Chino and sock brand recs...

Hi all, Was using the guides before but it sounds like they may be outdated now, so wanted to ask here: - What are current thoughts on best brands entry-mid $ chinos? Let's say $100ish (not a hard limit, just a ballpark) but obviously I wouldn't be disappointed to spend less. Looking for a more traditional/tapered look vs baggy. Trying to distill what I've found in searches, it seems like Bonobos used to be the go-to but has fallen out of favor. A&F doesn't even appear to have actual chinos anymore. BR used to be maligned but now seems to be coming back into favor. Gap is so darn cheap I'm suspicious. Other go-tos? Just got some Spier and Mackay ones that seem nice enough but I don't know about durability. Also curious about Flint & Tinder 365 just because FB seems desperate for me to buy them. ...

giant tartan/flannel clothing

I have looked everywhere for gigantic oversized (long) flannel shirts and/or drop crotch pants in “classic” plaid patterns (think red/green/yellow tartans or blackwatch or even red buffalo check). Prefer clean finishes without much distressing but I’m open to suggestions. Best examples I’ve found so far are CdG, but they’re often in very small sizes....

How badly used is this jacket?

I wanted to cop this jacket for a while now, this is the only size S I can find on the internet it's listed for $135. In the description it says that it has some signs of wear. I can see some things but im not the best at seeing how badly used it is. Is it worth getting? Thanks

Help on next step forward

Heyo I was hoping some of yall can help me out here. I live in SEA and it's basically summer 24/7, so dressing (esp layering) pretty hard. However, I've been wanting to try styles outside of the de-facto starter place (uniqlo) which most guys here wear when going out. Layering is still possible but I would love some inspiration on some outfits and places to get more unique pieces with good materials that will last, or maybe places that can get me started as I have no clue where to begin even after googling. Budget wise sub 60 per piece would be ideal, but more expensive pieces can be considered. Thanks in advance!...

Do these light wash jeans go with these dark brown boots?

Help me identify this type of shirt.

I was gifted this shirt a couple years back, but I don’t wear it very often. I like the the actual look of it, but I don’t like the materials/cloth. It’s very polyester and I’d rather have something that has more/all cotton. When looking for a shirt to replace it, what would I look for, or do you have any recommendations? And maybe what would be a good idea/starting point to wear it with? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m just starting to pay attention to what I wear so I’m not super knowled...

Is there an upper limit to big shirts?

I'm looking at this wide shirt from Sillage. It is 85cm wide. It is really really cool, it is also significantly wider than even my "oversized" outwear. I have a ~36" chest if that matters. I'm just worried about possible issues with wearing outerwear over it/layering. Could be a non issue though 🤷‍♂️ ...

Shortening leather varsity jacket sleeves

I have a Dehen varsity jacket with sleeves that are too long for me. I want to get the sleeves shortened but was wondering if an elbow detail (shown in picture) is going to complicate things. For what it’s worth, it seems like the elbow detail sits at a decent place relative to my elbow, so it may be possible to just shorten from the end of the sleeve instead of the shoulder. I’m just wondering if the elbow detail will otherwise cause complications or if it should be a non-issue if it doesn’t need to be moved up....
