I've been living with only the contents of my 46 liter Osprey and a single plastic tub of clothing for about six months now. I could do without the tub of clothing easily (and have for weeks at a time while traveling), just more convenient to not have to do laundry every 4 days and also get fresh clean clothes every day.
My recommendation is to break up with a long term partner and let her keep everything. I never wanted all that stuff to begin with and it's awesome to own so little. I could be ready (and have been) for an international 4 week flight in less than 30 minutes.
Contents are pretty basic.
Clothes/jackets all packed in packing cubes. Makes it much easier to get what you want without tearing your bag apart. Toiletries in their own toiletry bag.
The shorts and underwear can be hand washed very quickly and dry within 20 minutes. I can dress up nice enough for anything except formal weddings or funerals.
Oh, and some wool socks. One long pair for boots and pants, a few very short (no show) pairs for shorts and loafers.
Only thing I would change is making the khakis and shirts wool. But that shit is expensive. And reduce number of shirts to two or three since drying wool shirts is much faster than cotton and don't get smelly after a single day.
One more thing that is probably my favorite is a travel backpack that can stuff into a small pouch. I use it constantly and it's super small and light. I have the Amazon Basics one.
The tub of extra clothing just has a lot of extra socks (all the same pair so no hunting and matching needed), extra underwear (all ex officio), jeans (which I don't travel with but will wear at home, again multiple pairs of the exact same brand/style/size), extra grey v-neck tshirts (I own about a dozen of the same shirt, but only travel with about 4 or 5), and more dress shirts so I can look nice on a day-to-day basis. I care less about looking "nice" when traveling which is why I only take one. Tub also has several extra workout shorts and shirts, again all the same brand/style.
My dress shirts are the only thing I own that has variation. They're all the same brand and fit, just different colors/patterns.
Things I carry on myself: phone, gum, wallet, keys. Wallet is only driver's license, debit and credit card, folded up blank check, a single business card, and about $100 cash. I use a binder clip to keep it together because even the slimmest wallets more than double the bulk. Key chain has 3 keys and and a utilikey but nothing else. Very handy having a knife that makes it through TSA, in addition to a screwdriver and bottle opener.

Viola! You've got the basic bastard look for $350. Kinda crazy looking at it - over 40% of the cost is made up by the two pairs of shoes and the bomber jacket so if you're able to find deals or steals on any of those things then that would likely save you the most money.
Actually, to be fair - taxes and shipping aren't included on a lot of these purchases so that's something to be mindful of... something else to be mindful of would be that not all of these items are on sales. Sales can bring these prices, or the price of competitors similar items markedly down.
Obligatory Clarks Desert Boots. or Stinson His. Both are great, versatile, and comfy as hell. I'd also say look at some nice boat shoes like this or this. If you really want a great pair, also look at Allen Edmonds Shoe Bank for a great deal on 2nd quality. the prices are higher, but you could find a pair in the low 100's on a good enough sale. I really recommend their penny loafers, as they can be worn casually or dressed up.
I realized I've been been dressing like shit for my entire life after moving to the US last year (I'm 23). Came to this sub, found the "Basic Bastard" guide via the sidebar, and purchased a lot of cheap stuff from Amazon this Saturday to start a wardrobe. Here are the purchases:
Olive chinos
Caramel chinos
Light blue OCBD
White t-shirt
Clarke's Bushacre 2 (wanted to get the CDB, but these were $40 cheaper)
Super cheap black parka
Brown belt
I already had a grey t-shirt, and a white OCBD.
I am going to Sydney for two weeks where it's winter right now, where I'll be trying out these outfits. Please let me know if you have any (low-cost) suggestions!
you don't really need a guide on how to wear jeans and polos. Jeans basically go with any color so go to marshalls or Uniqlo and grab 5-10 polos and oxford button downs in any colors you like. You can stay way under $50 a shirt. probably 1/2 that easily.
​
Then get a pair of Clark's Bushacres in beeswax, and maybe something like a Red Wing derby from Nordstorms Rack for casual shoes since you shouldn't wear the same shoes every day.
Size 10 is also $51 for Beeswax Leather

Clarks Desert Boots is what CDBs means. Comes in lots of colors and here is a link
I created the info graphic myself in photoshop. I can try to help you find links for all the items if you would like.
Here are some links to the items. I couldn't find links for all of them:
OUTERWEAR:
TOPS:
BOTTOMS:
SHOES:
Nope, they're totally stock except for the mink oil. They're actually cheaper than CDBs too.
Shoe link
Mink oil link
To apply the mink oil I used a blow dryer to heat it up/essentially liquefy it, then used the blow dryer on the shoes to open the pores in the leather. Apply with a soft cloth, wait 15 minutes or so to soak in, then wipe off the excess. Let them dry overnight then you're good!
First post here as a rookie, looking for advice on a few shoes:
​
- My Clarks Chukkas (https://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Mens-Bushacre-Chukka-Beeswax/dp/B004DCNN64/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536692195&sr=8-3&keywords=clarks+chukka) have fallen apart (soles are cracked straight through) within 10 months or so and I'm looking to replace them with a similar aesthetic (i.e. brown/dark-ish, not black), but hopefully more durable. Any recommendations? $100-250 price point
​
- My original thought what the chukkas above didn't hold up due to water, but maybe they are just cheap since apparently the soles are rubber? Either way water gets in through the soles VERY easily. I was thinking of (in addition to the above) buying a boot that's better in the wetter weather. I want something that can be semi-casual and worn with jeans/chinos. I like the aesthetic of the AE Normandy Boots in brown, but i'm afraid they aren't built for the purpose (i.e. light-medium water/rain) since they have leather soles. Does anyone have any other recommendations that are similar within the $150-300 price range?
​
(What would be nice would be to eliminate the need for this second option and kill two birds with one stone with the Chukkas.)
​
- Lastly, I'm mostly settled on getting some AE Park Avenues in Dark Chili to go with a 3-peice BL Midnight Navy suit I am ordering. No question here, just pointing out. These won out over the darker brown or Oxblood options.
​
​
Thanks for the help!

This seems to be the best that comes from the ill defined term "smart casual". My recommendation is a pair of chinos, leather shoes, and an OCBD. And if you feel underdressed maybe a light jacket. I'm guessing you're new to MFA based on your post so I'll post some links to get you on the right track:
Sweet! Thanks for that.
But just to be clear (I'm still a bit new to Clark's) you're talking about the Beeswax Leather pair, right?
https://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Bushacre-Beeswax-Leather-US/dp/B004DCNN64/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465503249&sr=8-2&keywords=desert+boot+clarks
They drop below $50 on various random sites if you're willing to wait. I ended up getting mine at Bonton for $40.
Looks like Amazon has a listed low of $60: http://camelcamelcamel.com/Clarks-Mens-Bushacre-Beeswax-Leather/product/B004DCNN64?context=browse
I just got these, any suggestion for business casual belts that would match?
Also if I wear these with jeans, is there a specific type of belt I should wear?
Clarks
And contemplating on buying a AP Fitzroy backpack
Here
CDB's
I will keep this in mind for my next purchase although are you sure you have your information correct? Both the original and the Bushacre 2 DBs are said to have crepe soles. The color I wanted was available in both styles but the Bushacres were half the price.
I've been planning on buying the Clarks Bushacre Desert Boots but I'll be travelling to New York in the end of December, and I wanted to know if it can handle, cold and wet weather? Is there anyone who's tried them out before and can vouch for them?
Not sure what your size is, but if it's 9.5 D(M) US, it's $54.41 for beeswax with prime.
http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Mens-Bushacre-Beeswax-Leather/dp/B004DCNN64/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451435001&sr=8-1&keywords=bushacre+2
Would mink oil also be a good fit for the type of leather used on the Clarks Bushacre 2 in beeswax? If so, would it make them a darker brown? I love the boots, but I do wish they were just a tiny bit darker.
I'm sure you're familiar with them, but here are the exact ones just in case.
The ubiquitous Clarks Bushacre 2 is worth mentioning, because you can grab them for less than $70 shipped in the US. I usually wear holes through the soles of shoes within 6-9 months, and while those holes have started showing up at the 10 month mark, the upper is fine even though I don't really take care of them. It's not uncommon for the Bushacres to be on /r/frugalmalefashion for $65. Journeys and Macys carry them for $79-$120. Let me know if you want pictures.
Florsheim and John Varvatos offer some options with a dressier look around the same price, though I can't offer any first hand experience with them.
Browsing through /r/goodyearwelt may be of benefit to you if you're looking for high-quality, made to last footwear. Goodyear welting means the upper is stitched to the midsole, so when the sole wears out a cobbler can replace it. These shoes tend to be pricier, starting around $200 new for the decent stuff with the diminishing returns coming in around the $800 mark for most people, but in general, you get what you pay for.
Here's a great article on chukka options to look into should you decide to spend a bit more.
I leave in two day, and I'm confused about if I need to bring my own running shoes or not. I know that the shoes that I need to bring need to be closed toed, but they don't have to be running shoes because running shoes will be proved? If that is the case, will it be ok to bring my boots Clarks desert boots?
Yes, or a Clark's Bushacre 2, which is what I have.
if these are your "moccasin style dress shoes", then what you're looking for are chukkas (or the "desert boot").
I've got a pair of those clarks, and really like them, though the soles are a super weird soft rubber material that will wear at the edges and darken quickly, but they find a balance pretty quick, so you don't need to worry about eating through the sole super fast.
I also just picked up another pair from CK, which have a much nicer sole, but are super narrow for my usual tastes.
Like the "Dark Brown" ones here (not the beeswax ones you see when you click the link):

they'd definitely work
Tbh I have no idea. I can check for you tonight. I wear 10 and I do remember there being a little extra room so probably 10.5 TTS.
Here's the amazon listing I purchased from: https://www.amazon.com/CLARKS-Mens-Bushacre-Chukka-Boot/dp/B004DCNN64?th=1&psc=1
If anyone likes the Chukka style but doesn't want to spend $229, I wore these when I had to wear business casual for years:
Clarks Desert Boot
Clarks Men's Bushacre 2
Cheaper on Amazon.
