Thinking I need a black puffer, preferably hitting around the waist. Also need it to actually be warm as my winters are consistently in the 20s F, with a few days closer to 0 F (so down filling is appreciated). Obviously there is the TNF Nuptse. Stussy also appears to have a nice option for a similar price. Wondering what other options there are in the <$500 range, but preferably around $300.

Interesting Belt Recs

Need actually interesting belts of any material, with a particular focus on belts that are more than just plain leather with a basic buckle, eg: western and tech belts. I have some (cheap) plain leather belts that are working for me right now, and while I may need to upgrade at some point, right now I wanna see more interesting options. I'd probably prefer <$100 but don't let my budget stop you from showing me a cool belt.

Need a Fit Doctor

As many of the regulars know, I've been feeling a little in a rut over my fits recently. This thread is to help me gain a clearly idea of my style, and focus on using what i have instead of buying more clothes. Brand Inspiration: The brands that speak to me the most right now are honestly ALD, Corridor, and 4S Designs, with some minor streetwear inspo (graphic tees) as well. Some of my inspo from their lookbooks (I don't find corridor's styling particularly compelling, though I really like their clothes). Inspo album link: https://imgur.com/a/0Kb1A8b

Leather Watch Band Recs

My old watch band smells like absolute death. I have the tool to switch straps so in the market for a new one, preferably light grey or dark brown leather. Any good recs? Not sure how much I should expect to pay for this, so ~$100 or less, but <$50 is ideal. I've gone to Crown & Buckle for NATOs before, and had great experiences with their customer service, but I'm not sure about their leather. Could also go back to my watch manufacturor but it looks like their leather bands are ~$70-110.

Crossbody Bags

Title says it all. Budget is ideally <$100, so that basically rules out leather. Anyone got recs? If I could buy em in person somewhere that's a bonus.
