Style Scenario: Nice Pints

September 9, 2013 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links results in us getting a commission (not always, but just about), which helps keep the lights on around here. We also take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

What are you going to wear? Sometimes there’s an easy answer. Sometimes not. Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. Just about every city has one (or seven). The pub that’s anything but a dive bar. They might have Coors Light and Bud on tap, but they’ve also got 30 other handles, one of which is a cask. This is a place where jeans and a t-shirt is fine, but you just might take a date there. Like your beer, you’ll want to be upgraded, but still far from snooty.

The Sweater: Extra-Fine Merino Wool Vee – $41.70 w/ BRCLUE40 ($69.50).  B.R.’s new flagship V-neck sweater. The v doesn’t dip nearly as low as their silk/cotton/cashmere, and the thickness of the all merino wool fabric is a perfect in-between. Not bulky, but not wispy thin. We could all use a little more green in our wardrobe. Code is good for 40% off through 9/10 with the usual exclusions (blazers + suit jackets)

The Shirt: L.E.C. Contrast Collar Oxford Shirt – $19.99 ($44.00). Just different enough. A grey OCBD with a white contrast collar. On sale for under $20.

The Belt: GAP Wool belt – $ 17.47 w/GAPMORE ($24.95). Maybe one of the most tempting affordable accessories of the fall. A wool belt with a scout style buckle.

The Watch: Seiko Chronograh – $140.00. One of the better looking sub $150 chronographs out there. Slightly retro feel to it thanks to the numerals. Perfect size. More over here.

The Coat: GAP Cotton/Nylon Trench – $76.70 w/ GAPMORE ($118). Looks like Gap knocked it out of the park on this one. 60% cotton, 40% nylon, a simple design and a just-right above the knee cut. Well reviewed. Now 35% off with the code GAPMORE. If you get the wool belt, you’ll trip the 40% off threshold, and the trench + belt would end up being $85.77 total.

The Beer: Deschutes Black Butte XXV. Happy 25th anniversary to the reserve version of Black Butte porter from Deschutes. The Bend Oregon based brewery produces a new version of this dessert-in-a-bottle brew each year, and taking your time with a glass in early fall is a huge treat. If you can’t find it on tap in your area, you might be able to get a bottle of it online, depending on what state you live in. Not into dark stuff? Try a biscuity dopplebock (like the Full Sail at the top of the page), an Oktoberfest, or a hop-bomb double IPA.

The Jeans: J. Crew Factory Slim Straight – $54.50. Or levi’s or whatever you have in your closet. Nice looking true-blue color on these, and they could get down to around thirty bucks with sales and codes.

The Boots: Johnston & Murphy Tyndall Chelsea – $122.46 w/ TAKE30OF. (Note: it’s not “off” but “of” for that code). Red Wings or other workboots would work here, but a Chelsea like the awesome J&M Tyndall looks a heck of a lot more sleek, and that’s good if you’re wearing slim pants. Perfect toe shape, big fan of that subtle broguing along the gore panels, and now an extra 30% off through amazon with the code TAKE30OF (not “off”, “of”). If that code dries up, try NEWFALL2  for 20% off. Hat tip to RobFG in the comments.
