Anonymous asked: So my anniversary is quickly coming up and I'm stressing over what I'd like to get my boyfriend. Over the last two years he's added some great pieces to his wardrobe but his footwear is seriously lacking. I'm sensing he has some trepidation about where to start so I'd like to get him a nice pair of shoes for under $200 that can be worn with slim-fit chinos, trousers or...
Anonymous asked: I just got a real job, and now I need to wear a suit every day. Where can I buy quality suits if my budget is about 400 bucks per suit? I understand that eventually I will be able to save up and purchase nice ones, but I need a suit now.

krts-gk asked: I don't remember how I got here. Eighteen pages in and I'm contemplating my menswear decisions and holding in my laughter in a quiet office. I'll be sure to browse here for a sober second opinion before I cop ANYTHING.

Anonymous asked: "Hit me with a side part," GQ instructs us to tell our barbers. While I think the side part can work, is it just me or is the guy's haircut in the magazine completely fucked up looking? Then I see the DB blazer and turtleneck coverage and I want to just completely destroy this month's issue and pretend it never happened. What's the deal here?

thepalewop asked: Lol, I don't get your menswear guy's take on winter wear. Especially when the question involves a person wanting to stay warm/dry. First off if you need full length lined Sorel Pac's to stay dry in the city your doing something very wrong. As for a coat in -30 for under 150 bucks? Go buy a Carhartt. I'll guarantee you will be happier looking like a redneck, but being warm. ...
Anonymous asked: Hey, I live in the northern part of Canada. We regularly get minus 30 degree days here during winter. I am looking for a good heavy-duty winter jacket that can withstand, whether it's an overcoat or a puffer jacket, preferably under $150. Any ideas?

Just a Thought
If the Ultimate Warrior was into street style—assuming, of course, that he had a pot to piss in—would there be any question whether he’d wear VISVIM? Cause it’s like, drop a G, get mad streamers, ya dig?

ihaveamoustache asked: Say, NTB - I'm a minimum wage slave at the moment. Not trying to vault to Steez McQueen, and P/U principle has been one I've employed for years. I'm a mad decent thrifter. Found a pair of broken-in zip Bally ankle boots. They need soles/heels, but they were $15 (similar new ~$500). Good enough for me to snag for some regular wear. The toes are a tad worn (read: scuffed), though -...

Anonymous asked: NTB— mucho respect on everything you do. You've become a staple. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting a cropped trench coat and I wanted to know if you had any recommendations at a few different price points (500 or less). I can do standard beige/tan, but I'm highly interested in navy. Your thoughts?
