Starting a capsule wardrobe, could use advice.

I’m trying to be very intentional on the pieces I buy so that anything can match.
My starting point is building off this outfit. Right now I’m trying to find decent-good quality denim shirt, some kind of low heeled casual boot/service boot/slip on. Any help is appreciated.

budget and location would be useful

on a broader level we had a couple of recent discussion threads about versatility and capsule wardrobes that may be worth reading in terms of how to structure your thinking topic-of-the-dayVersatility - Topic of the day 7/7/24 topic-of-the-dayThe Capsule Wardrobe - Topic of the day 7/9/24

USA, Washington State

Budget ~$2000

the fit you posted looks very filson-core, they have brick and mortar in Washington if you want to try things on

raisinpie•8/29/24, 11:41 PM

Unless you meant Washington DMV

zeometer•8/29/24, 11:41 PM

there's also a brick-and-mortar filson in DC

raisinpie•8/29/24, 11:43 PM

Blue owl workshop is also in Seattle

zeometer•8/29/24, 11:43 PM

is $2000 the budget for just the shirt and boots?

raisinpie•8/29/24, 11:44 PM

If you don't find anything you like at those shops, wythe, ralph Lauren, and Brycelands do great denim shirts

zeometer•8/29/24, 11:44 PM

brycelands, orslow, bronson mfg, vintage wrangler/levi's, maybe wythe all have denim shirts

zeometer•8/29/24, 11:47 PM

for the boots our legacy camions are an option if you can catch a deal, or a simpler boot by tecovas

Zzeometer is $2000 the budget for just the shirt and boots?

Budget is pretty flexible. Trying to focus on quality over quality. But boots, jacket, shirt. I have some rogue territory standard issues, & just ordered some Imogene+Willie which I hope work out

SambroOP•8/29/24, 11:54 PM

But a nice denim shirt, outcoat, and boots is mainly what I’m trying to find.

check out wythe for denim shirts:

Wythe New York

Denim Pearlsnap Shirt - Rinsed Indigo

The real icon of the west: an indigo dyed denim shirt. Take it up a few steps with a rear western yoke mirroring the most beautiful patterns of the 1940s and 50s, and custom antiqued cream pearl snaps. This shirt has all the details you'd expect of a real western shirt and then some. The indigo rope dyed denim will fad

are you looking for a water-resistant jacket or something like in the photo?

SambroOP•8/29/24, 11:58 PM

Maybe just something like in the photo for fall/spring.

SambroOP•8/29/24, 11:59 PM

Or layering in winter too, experience all 4 seasons. But I have snow gear

raisinpie•8/30/24, 12:00 AM

if quality is the only thing youre after you should just get a real mccoys repro m65 fishtail and viberg service boots

SambroOP•8/30/24, 12:01 AM

Essentially, I want to build this outfit as a base & be able to swap tops out

raisinpie•8/30/24, 12:01 AM

realistically any repro brand will make a m65 jacket, heres one from bronson https://bronsonshop.com/products/bronson-1965-us-army-1st-model-og-107-m-65-field-jacket?_pos=1&_sid=edf26ecee&_ss=r

Bronson Mfg. Co.

US Army 1st Model M-65 Field Jacket

The M-65 evolved from the M-1943 Field Coat via the M-1951 and was in service from 1965 until 2009. The color is officially “Olive Green 107”. From the M-1951, the significant changes were a storable hood, snap closures on the four main pockets, and velcro cuffs. The collar transitioned from a shirt-style collar to an upright collar. The Epaulet...

I’m not very exciting, literally trying to make a daily uniform based around black denim, it stresses me out that much

my recommendation with a smaller capsule wardrobe is to not buy everything at once. buy 1 thing per month. stop buying as much as possible, don't add something into your wardrobe until you've given yourself time to think about it.

those are suede chukkas

Recommend going to Blue Owl. Lots of cool brands there, including my fave, Freenote Cloth. Can find lots of Freenote stuff for 30-50% off if hunt well online.

quantum•8/30/24, 10:01 PM

Love Blue Owl. Also highly recommend dropping in the Filson store if you have the time, as someone else mentioned.
