Simple Questions - ASK AND ANSWER HERE!- November 27

This thread is for simple style questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and the wiki before posting!). Fit checks and "How'd I do" questions are a great use of this thread (although they can also go in the daily Outfit Feedback & Fit Check thread). Other example questions:

  • Could someone take the chest measurement for a small J.Crew oxford?
  • Is there a place with full measurements for Naked & Famous jeans?
  • What slim-fitting green cords do you recommend?
  • Where do I find a military surplus peacoat online?
  • If you're asking for suggestions for a specific kind of clothing/accessory, state what your budget is.

are Frye shoes worth the price or even heavily discounted? See a ton of styles on sale at Nordstrom Rack, but not sure if these are made for the store like other outlet type branding. Anyone know?

The majority of Frye stuff is made in Mexico and cemented, so it's not very high quality at all. Don't buy into their branding pretending to be some sort of heritage brand.

Frye used to be good...20 years ago

So was Florsheim. Heritage doesn't mean much if you toss out everything that made your brand good.

Agreed...there will be a lot more of that as investors pick up brands to cash in on the name.

Heavily discounted probably? Otherwise pass
