If you have to reduce your wardrobe to only 5 items...

1 x footwear, 1 x legwear, 1 x belt, outerwear 1 x shirt/sweater & 1 x jacket/vest, what would it be?

To start, for me atm it is:

Boots: RMC Buco Engineer Boots
Jeans: At Last Co. Lot. 161
Belt: ACE Belt Japan
Shirt: Salvatore Piccolo "Jacquard"
Jacket/Coat: Freewheelers "Switchyard"

I am a simple guy.

Blundstone 510 boots
Levis 511 in Rigid Dragon
Any old black belt
Hanes plain black Tshirt
Vanson Comet Plu-3

Underwear I can live without. Would miss the socks though.

 

[Big J]

Crocs, skinny jeans, super tight super low V-neck tee, Zara B-6 clone. Don't need a belt coz my jeans are SO TIGHT!
+ look of effortless disdain.

Nothing fancy actually; Bertl Work Boots (made from 3-4mm thick leather, indestructible), some cheapo blue jeans, some cheapo brown belt, one thick woolen sweater, my 30+ years old Langlitz Cascade.

It would have to be practical. Several changes of underwear (not my own)...

 

[handymike]

Boots: Wolvrine 1000mi (not sure if black or brown)
Jeans: Levis 505
Belt: My wife bought me one on the Ponte Veccio in Florence- nothing fancy, but I wear it a lot.
shirt: Hanes Beefy Tee
Jacket: Goodwear Imperial or Hippie rug coat (maybe both )

Assuming it's whats in our wardrobe now...As I'd want a compromise between riding gear and comfort for off the bike, my list would be as follows.

Boots: Sidi - "Canyon"
Jeans: Dainese - D1 Kevlar jeans
Belt: Langlitz
Shirt: 100% - Shibuya Long-sleeve Barstow t-shirt.
Jacket/Coat: Aero - 1930s HB

Does this mean that my hats must go, my trenchcoats, my socks, aloha shirts and all my accoutrements? Neck ties, bow ties, cravats, cufflinks, dress buttons, tie pins, the lot?
Then it would have to be a dress shirt, with a bit of elastic to keep the cuffs together, a black bow tie, an ivory tux matched to black, wide bottomed dress trousers and two tone, black and white patent leather shoes. No socks of course, better make sure that the pants hang a tad lower.
Minimalism doesn't have to compromise standards.

I'm (mostly) going with what's in my wardrobe.

James Taylor and Son bespoke boots
Roy RS-01 Jeans
Iron Heart IHB-04 Super Heavy Double Pronged Monster Belt in Natural
Pure Blue Japan Storm Double Gauze Shirt
Good Wear Leather Jacket (either the SAT Cossack or Café Racer)

The Good Wear jacket is my "cheat" item. I'm hopefully getting one in a few months, and deciding which style to go for.

 

[Seb Lucas]

Black Rossi work boots
Black Bonds t-shirt
Black Levis
Dark green Ralph Lauren corduroy blazer
Akubra - Campdraft

Fortunately for my bank account, I have almost zero interest in jeans, belts, footwear and shirts. The jacket I would choose is the hardest part.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Can I pick 5 jackets and go naked except for a jacket?

 

[zebedee]

Pair of Loakes, Aero Highwayman, pendleton shirt, dickies canvas trousers, flat cap.

Dead in a week.

Well that's reassuring because I have never bought a denim item in my life. My idea of dress down day is to take the neck tie off and wear a cravat instead.
