Where to get the peak effay suit without polyesther lining?

>>18344543
Canali with bemberg lining

Polyester sleeve lining >>> bremberg / cupro
Enjoy your lining shrinking by two sizes if you ever get caught in the rain

>>18344543
What's up with NPCs and their drive to mention polyester in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. every single day? Is it the algorithm literally forcing these npcs to post this? Their synthetic brains hooked to tiktok directly have any real cognition at this point?

Reference from the other thread: is it true that white collar people shouldn’t wear blue? I remember my dad said something similar to me when I was young. But I always assumed this was an outdated oldtimey rule

>>18344836
This sounds like something a blue collar boomer prole would say

>>18344836
I worked in a conservative investment firm and everyone wore blue shirts and red ties almost every day. It was like an unofficial dress code.

>>18344902
tbs I also worked in venture capital firm and we wore white, except fridays we wore jeans it was an unofficial dress code. Bottom line is every place is different, but there is usually some secret tongue-in-cheek dress code that you follow

>>18344836
It's an oldschool rule. If you follow "no brown in town" (in the city/office only black or colored leather, brown leather in the countryside) you might follow this rule as well. But it's 2024, nobody cares about any of these rules anymore anyway.

>>18344836
Im not white collar myself. But its pretty easy to disprove that by just visiting or walking by any office that employs white collar workers. Half of them will be wearing white and the other half will be wearing light blue. Or even just watching TV and seeing them on the news.

>>18344814
I've been avoiding plastic for like a decade now. Why are you so autistic about this subject? Every thread you sperg out any time someone mentions natural fibers. Do you work in the petroleum industry or something? Don't worry, a few dozen /tip/ posters refusing to buy garbage plastic clothing isn't going to put you out of a job. Now STFU about it.

>>18345451
That‘s why I said "oldschool". Really old. Nobody cares abour brown leather or blue shirts nowadays

>>18343927
Okay. Call me when they make chinos with >12" of rise. Anyways, I just copied everything all the fits from their catalogue to do as little thinking as possible. Their website has a guy wearing those pants and a button up, guess that's what I'm wearing.

Where can I get polos made of 100% cotton that are longer in the torso?
I'm 6'2" and most polos are simply too short. I've gotten lucky with Banana Republic's M Long sizes but those leave a lot to be desired when it comes to quality

>>18345649
Every modern big name manufacturer today is making clothes for deformed blobs that have the rough outline of a human if you squint hard enough. If you find a company making polos for normal male height and normal male weight, please get back to us. Everything is made for fat manlets these days.

>>18345654
It's just too bad nothing is made that just fits. I can get larges but they need to be tailored. I can get medium and it fits but is too short

>>18344814
isn't it good that NPCs are walking up to the facts of how dogshit polyester (PVA) is? PVA blends are built for the underclass.

Since my Bosie shetlands are way too long, I gambled and tried shrinking them. I turned them inside out and put them each in a delicates bag and washed them on the cold delicate cycle. I then dried them on the delicate cycle still in the bags. Worked out surprisingly well. They lost about two inches in length and had the unintended benefit of tightening up the neck hole a bit. Overall very pleased.

Are GH Bass any good? I just want some nice beater loafers and they're cheap enough to not care and get autistic about them

Anyone own a Shaggy Dog sweater from J Press?
I went to Cornell so I'm thinking of getting this red one but I don't know if they're scratchy or anything

>>18345699
No, more competition for the good stuff

>>18345852
roll the dice, order it and try it on

>>18345891
Zero sum thinking like an absolute moron

>>18345908
Vintage supplies are hardly elastic

>>18345649
I see that Luxire sells (expensive) polos - wonder if they'd let you customize the length (normally this is done by e-mailing them after placing your order). Though going MTM for polos is crazy, but maybe you're radicalized enough

>>18345839
Been meaning to do this but with stretching the sleeves on my Jamieson's shetland. I also see that Simon from Permanent Style screws with the shrinking/stretching like this too and has articles about it

This might be the wrong thread, but the sweater blazer in picrel looks so cozy. The only place I can find one for less than a few thousand bucks is alibaba.
Are they that niche that it really is so difficult to find them?

Girlfriend (has a trust fund) got me a hardcover copy of the preppy handbook for christmas :D

>>18346444
Why isn't she your wife?

>>18346182
Please just get a shawl cardigan

>>18346472
No. I don’t like shawl collars

Effay approved jewlery vendors? I basically only know 3 categories:

- cheap fashion crap, which I never want to buy
- "luxury" fashion brands, pretty sure LV necklaces are not effay approved and I thankfully never fell for their trinkets
- the "classics" like the tiffany heart or the van cleef thing.

There probably is a 4th category of stuff that is solid but not overpaying for the brand name, I imagine?

>>18346182
>sweater blazer
That's a jacket, meant to be something like a db harrington, with elasticated waist & cuffs

>>18346182
That's absolutely heinous.

>>18346182
kill yourself

>>18346533
That's a bit harsh innit

>>18345852
I dont have a shaggy dog but i do have some good quality shetlands. They are softer than cheaper ones but still scratchy on bare skin. Theyre supposed to be worn with collared shirts underneath.

are uniqlo OBCDs decent? I could buy vintage but shipping on ebay is like half the price of what i'd pay for a shirt and there's not much choice in eastern europe

>>18344270
Why so fucking low rise

>>18346491
Local reputable jewelers will sell the good stuff

Plz recommend good venues or social events to enjoy the company of upper-class young ladies =) All the equestrian centers around here are filled with 10 year olds, and the country clubs are packed with dumb boomers and puffer-vest wearing finance bros with horrible taste and nothing interesting to say. Help a nigga out!

Any good after Christmas sales? I need more pants and shirts

Im going to pick up a pair of rancourt penny loafers on their current 30% sale. Then i saw quoddy has 25% off on stock models. I'm trying to decide if i should grab some canoe shoes while im at it.

>>18348064
Target

>>18344270
Thoughts on this coat? I want to wear it with jeans.

>>18348064
If you're in the US having a horse is no longer a signifiger of wealth. Neoliberalism is so fucking awesome and made everyone so rich it's now affordable to large parts of the middle class. You'll only find little girls there.

>>18348331
Nice

Shirt plancket: plain, stitched on or hidden buttons?

What when?

Where is the guy who comes from the old money gazillionare family and went to Bowdoin and prepped at Exeter?

Keep doing the bit https://x.com/i/status/1864784662062633009

>>18348341
Eh, more like upper middle class or petty bourgeois. You still need to own some rural land or pay an organization fee to let your little girl ride horses.

Does /tip/ like Fred Perry?

>>18348835
there are much better options and no real attachment to the brand like the english subculture scene has

Down to one pair of jeans and thinking about getting a second. The one pair I own are Sid Mashburn and I get a lot of compliments on them so will probably just stick with a second pair but curious what else people are liking these days.

I've been considering what I'd like to wear daily and arrive at a sort of daily uniform and it's really hard to beat t-shirts, no matter how much I try. Ideally, something with a higher neck or neck detail since it always looks much more dressed. I'm so disappointed. Buildings are too fucking hot everywhere and I'm sick of it.
>Shirts
Robust, stiff, not really a good option for a less average body shape, and I don't want MTM options. I was hoping I'd find a nice RTW like Drake's, but they really don't fit muscular proportions well at all unless I just accept the tight shoulders and large neck holes compared to chest sizes.
>Shetlands/Lambswool Sweaters
Robust, stretchy, almost perfect but too fucking hot thanks to every building in the 21st century being overheated.
>Knit Polos
Not robust, stretchy, but the only decent alternative to a shirt. Can't get something nice like Smedley since it can rip so easily, so looks like a life of sexcore tier merino shit. This is horrible.

>>18348113
Do you by chance know how Quoddy and Rancourt compare in size? I'm very tempted by a pair of Rancourt boots but I don't want to print something out to measure my foot with only to have it be wrong when they actually get to me 12 weeks from now. My Quoddy bluchers are my daily shoe when there's not snow on the ground.

>>18349326
>not really a good option for a less average body shape, and I don't want MTM options.
Why not? E.g. Suitsupply does this pretty affordable
>>Shetlands/Lambswool Sweaters
>Robust, stretchy, almost perfect but too fucking hot thanks to every building in the 21st century being overheated.
Take the cotton pill anon. 100% cotton knitwear. Even the Amazon Basics one is that now.

>>18349340
>Take the cotton pill anon. 100% cotton knitwear. Even the Amazon Basics one is that now.
what about cotton fleece or french terry?

>>18344270
I tried on a black rugby shirt with a white collar at J Crew and it really did something for me BUT the bottom was way too loose. Where else can I find a decent rugby shirt? I mean what brands to look for.

I'm working on a college student budget, so I can't spend much. I'm going to get something secondhand from eBay.

>>18345264
I don't even think "no brown in town" was applicable in America in the 20th century anyway. Is this correct?

>>18346444
Nice.

>>18346491
I guess the 4th category would be local handmade sort of stuff. Maybe etsy if you avoid the junk.

>>18349326
T shirts are terrible in heat compared to lightweight linen, seersucker, or madras. Its a fucking knit fabric.

>>18349338
they fit about the same like most non-sneaker brands

>>18345843
Yeah they're beater loafers and also the go-to. Personally I go for sperries as after some oiling they're pretty much immediately broken in.

Is it my own ignorance or is buying high quality stuff looking really bleak nowadays. Literally every industry is hollowed out by low quality crap?

>>18349773
You couldn't even buy Oxfords or stitched belts in brown or cognac back in the day. Brown leather was exclusively for hiking boots and outdoorsy stuff.

Kind of bewildering how many people just see any suit at all and immediately think "business" and how recently things were different

It's not even a secret upper class code or something. Common people just knew this. But breaking with old rules and the casualization in apparel is so popular with everyone and every demographic like almost no other topic.

Imagine getting 95% of americans to agree on anything at all

>>18349880
So an 11 in Quoddy should translate into an 11 in Rancourt then? Sometimes I think the fancy measurement systems are just bullshit to make things look more sophisticated than they really are.

>>18344270
From the thumbnail I thought these guys had giant anime swords shooped onto them. Instead it was just gayfag shit

Can anyone help me find jeans and chinos with a truly straight leg for guys with a bigger waist? I’ve gained some weight, okay a lot of weight, it sucks but I still want to look decent. I can’t wear sweatpants everywhere. Every “straight leg” I try ends up looking tapered or slim so my silhouette looks terrible. Recommend me some stuff with a straight or classic fit that is truly straight.

>>18350657
For chinos just get made to measure from Suitsupply. You can type in any measurements. Might be a little more expensive but saves a lot of time

>>18350657
go for a run, lardass

>>18350657
The officers chinos from bronson.
Truly straight leg. Available up to a 38" waist.
MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE MEASUREMENT CHART AND COMPARE TO PANTS YOU ALREADY OWN.
don't just buy your typical tagged waist size as the sizing can vary.
https://bronsonshop.com/products/1944-usmc-officer-trousers-khaki?option1=Olive&option2=W29

>>18351472
would be nice if it came with adult size inseams

>>18350540
in my experience as long as the shoe is similar their sizing is similar.
also, the fancy measurement system exists because most people:
>can't figure out their actual shoe size (including width) and are either wearing a size too big or small
and
>most people only wear sneakers and have no idea what a dressier shoe should fit or what the size difference between a nike/adidas/converse to a quoddy-like brand

also, it's not fancy it's just a diy brannock device

>>18350657
you probably don't want straight, go for relaxed if you are truly a fatty

is picrel considered trad/ivy/prep? I'm looking for something like picrel, kinda preppy loungewear. I guess I also like the sweater itself, what is it called? polo sweater, collared sweater? I like the overall silhouette/look of the pic, I personally find overcoats and whatnot to be a bit ostentatious for my taste, but it works well on others

>>18351852
quarter-zip cardigan

>>18351878
not even a cardigan just a quarter-zip

>>18351885
>what is that object?
>>it's an (adjective)
no anon, you need a noun. "quarter-zip" is a adjective, it's a quarter-zip of what? a quarter-zip car? a quarter-zip handbag? it's a quarter-zip cardigan.

>>18351891
smartass fag. google "what is a cardigan" and get back to me with your correction

>>18351878
>>18351885
Thanks. so if the quarter zip were to be paired with chinos or some other pant, would this be considered tip? or “old money” as the zoomers are calling it? is there a lookbook for subtle tip?

>>18351936
The "old money" thing doesn't exist. It's a fast fashion fad.

Quater zips are not part of a classic mens wardrobe. If that's what you're asking.

They can look nice tho. Just wear it bro, why do you care if the imagined demographic that an online fad aspires to likes it?

I just watched Re-Animator and the main antagonist (or was he, I don’t know), Herbert West, for most of the film was wearing a pale blue or a white oxford shirt with a black narrow tie, black slacks and I suppose black oxfords with brown soles and I don’t know if the clothes were cut differently back then, or was everyone just slim back then, but there’s just something nonchalant and casual how he’s wearing it. Why is it that if I were to wear the same outfit I would look like a mormon but he looks very casual? Sorry for the poor image quality, it’s a screenshot from youtube.

>>18351852
Just replace the t-shirt with an ocbd or polo, the quarter-zip with a shetland, the joggers with chinos and the trainers with loafers

Ordered some rancourt loafers and they shipped right away. This makes me suspicious that they are a returned pair or something since their leadtime is usually a month or two.
Then again i ordered the most popular color of probably their most popular loafer so it's not that unrealistic that they would have some pairs around.
Wish me luck

>>18351852
>is picrel considered trad/ivy/prep?
yea

>>18352630
which one? sorry, I'm not quite sure what the diff is between trad/ivy/prep, if any

Looking for a wool hooded parka with smarter styling without the ubiquitous puffer look. Found this from Spier Mackay which looks great but I've never ordered from them before, I live in the UK. How is their sizing? I am normally S (5'8") in American brands (Ralph Lauren, Gant) but it might come up long.

Is the parka going to be as good as it looks? I am concerned about the breathability of the polyester lining, and whether it is going to make the synthetic rustle noise while moving in it. I will likely have to remove the faux fur for smarter wear.

>>18352127
>I don’t know if the clothes were cut differently back then, or was everyone just slim back then
Yes and yes. Do not buy anything labeled "slim-fit" even if you are slim. Most clothes today are made with less fabric to save money resulting in cuts that don't look aesthetically pleasing on the body. If you have an average build, you should generally be safe with clothes from J. Press and O'Connells. You'll also need pants with a mid to high rise if you are tucking your shirt in. Land's End Trad Fit chinos are my favorite option for casual pants.

>>18353060
I'm 5'7 and find their short-sized and XS jackets & coats to fit well. S is too long for me but maybe your extra inch would make it work. Lining shouldnt make rustling since its a different kind of fabric than noisy outer shells. But I probably wouldnt buy it if you just want to remove the fur. Maybe look if they have something similar without fur or try a duffle coat instead.

Sweaters make me look fat because they have way too much excess fabric at the waist. Is it possible to get them altered to cinch more?

>>18353877
I have the same damn problem with sweaters. If you look at vintage ads a lot of time they were cut baggy in the chest but with shorter lengths and tighter hems, because they knew that was a more appealing shape. Not a potato sack over your torso.
I've heard Rubato is good and I like the look but they're too expensive for me honestly. I mainly have vintage sweaters and havent figured out a goto for new ones.

Any good January sales?

What's the deal with leather soles on shoes? I'm completely new at this and now that I've spent a bit on well fitting shoes, I'm wondering how bad it is for them to walk in the snow or rain. Am I just not supposed to wear these AT ALL if the sidewalk is wet? Will snow destroy them? Are we expected to just hover unless we are indoors when wearing leather soles? Not getting a "top" or whatever the hell, they look faggy as fuck and at that point I'd just get rubber soled shoes

>>18354235
No worries in light rain, but you need to show some care to dry them properly if you're unlucky with the weather
Use galoshes when you know it will rain
Just get dainite soles if you live somewhere where it rains and snows a lot

>>18353877
Yes. For any wool sweater, you can wash it and then block it on a table and adjust to your size as it dries. I'm not a pro at this by any means, so it took me around 2 or 3 days of drying in my basement for each wool sweater. I don't have any fit pics, but just google stuff around these lines like "blocking" a sweater and you'll find good info.

>>18344270
What fragrances does /tip/ like?

>>18354345
encre noire. I use it faintly, it's super strong and wish it came in a diluted form and I didn't have to be so careful.

>>18354235
I dont know who lead you to believe leather soles are that dainty. Theyre only slippery when theyre brand-new. After a couple days of walking on concrete they'll be roughed-up enough to have traction. Ive never had an issue walking on wet or snowy streets in dress shoes. The only time i feel rubber soles are necessary is if im hiking.

>>18354251
>galoshes
ultimate 'tism
Rather wear boots and carry my loafers in my laptop bag.

>>18354426
>I dont know who lead you to believe leather soles are that dainty.
To be blunt, the statements seem to come from poorfags on the internet that cry if they scuff their $900 shoes, since they can't really afford them. I can't afford them either if I have to replace them every two or three years. A resole every 2 years seems fair, and I'd take that, but so far I'm led to believe that if you walk from your car to the office in leather soled Aldens, and there is snow outside, you'll tear through your shoes like butter and the sole will be gone in a few months, along with the entire shoe being irrecoverable. I'm not sure if the truth lies in between or close to one of these cases, but I just want more information so I can plan accordingly. If it is the case that rain or snow for a few minutes once a week will destroy these shoes, I'll have to buy an alternate pair with dainite soles for such weather.

>>18354427
Water will make leather soles wear faster but it's not that drastic, specially if it's only for a few steps. Personally I'd wear rubber soles on my daily drivers and leave leather soled shoes for special occasions, but that's just me.

>>18354345
I wish there were fragrances that are neither cheap axe bodyspray nor $100 for some bullshit fashion brand.

Just some essential oils in isopropanyl. How hard can it be. Is there no fragrance equivalent of clothing brands that have sold the same items for the last century

Alas there isn't such a thing even tho how simple it sounds.

For me, it's

>>18354345
I sampled ~100 different fragrances back in 2022-2023 and concluded the only two I really enjoyed and work with my skin are Eight and Bob, and D&G The One. Neither are overpowering or standoffish, but subtle and pleasant for those whom you share close company with. Eight and Bob for spring / summer, and The One for fall & winter. With these I am content.

its 85 degrees every day year round where I live, how can I dress nice...

>>18355203
Polos, linen blend chinos or shorts, boat shoes

>>18353060
Spier and McKay is incredibly inconsistent. I ordered five pants from them and they varied significantly in waist sizing and rise. In addition their cuts are just abysmal and designed for a stationary dummy or some human-like creature.
I can assure you that the parka in your image will be tremendously uncomfortable and you will be restricted in movement. It's cheap for a reason. If you want to be cheap, buy Jpress from the Japan site through a proxy.

>>18352425
I got a pair of those about a month ago, they've been an absolute nightmare to break in

>>18354345
I rotate between Zoologist Moth, CdG Zagorsk, CdG Avignon, and Vintage Castle depending on what I'm feeling and where I'm going. These are all very much cold weather scents though I'd say, I am looking around for some spring/summer stuff

>>18348064
>All the equestrian centers around here are filled with 10 year olds
those kids have mothers.

>>18356712
>CdG Avignon
For those who aren't in the know or don't care, CdG Incense Avignon is Morrissey's signature scent.

What the hell do I wear over a medium blue suit similar to this one?
I have only this one suit, and need to go to court on Tuesday, and it's -5C.

>>18356712
>I got a pair of those about a month ago, they've been an absolute nightmare to break in
Did you condition them when you purchased them? Unless its shell, I've never had a pair of leather shoes that did not require conditioning. Sperry is the worst offender, you buy shoes that are dried out and will start getting cracks all over if you don't immediately condition them. I use them for just fucking around and super casual wear, so I just slather them in obenaufs oil.

>>18356782
An overcoat.

>>18356782
so are you going to be outside for an hour? I still dress normally for work and don't wear a coat, its like a minute to walk from my car to the front door of my office building.

>>18356835
Too formal. I wear a suit once or twice a year and feel out of place with something like this.

>>18356858
I'm going outside for like a minute, you're right. Will probably not wear anything.

>>18356820
Not him but rancourt used horween chromexel leather, or did until very recently that stuff does NOT need conditioning out of the box it's fucking pumped full of oil during the tanning process.
The break in is rough because they are Goodyear welted loafers sitting on a big thick piece of veg tan leather.
Blake stiched loafers break in much faster and are softer out of the box, especially if they have a thinner rubber midsole and a rubber sole.
Goodyear welted loafers having a somewhat rough break in period is just kinda the nature of the beast. That's why many brands blake stich theirs instead

>>18356903
>Goodyear welted loafers having a somewhat rough break in period is just kinda the nature of the beast
I have a few Aldens and redwings. There is a break-in, but calling it "rough" is such a pussy thing to say. Just wear your shoes, human feet are not made out of gelatin. Redditors legit made me nervous when buying my first Goodyear welted iron rangers, and they were easier to break in than the cheap bates boots from boot camp. Faggots were actually posting about them crying from the sores and bruises on their feet, just utterly insane and pathetic.

I'm not sure this is the proper thread to ask, but who makes loafers with a highish heel? I only ever see Gucci with a like 1.25" heel.

>>18354983
You can get polo green for $30

Similar question to >>18350657, except instead of being fat i'm /fit/ and a midget and my measurements are retarded. I wear a 33x29 in Levis, and that's only because they don't make a 27 or 28 inch inseam for adult men. I need a pair of trousers for a wedding coming up in March; I've tried off-the-rack, made-to-measure at Nordstroms, etc., and everything always fits way too tightly in the seat.

Does anyone make menswear for little mutants like me? What's even flattering on a blocky 5'8" refrigerator build like mine?

I started looking at suitsupply; it looks like their wide-leg pant might be a good option, possibly with some tailoring to taper the lower leg a little. I'd had success with the fit of picrelated wranglers, but they're cheapo polyester and feel a little juvenile. thanks in advance anons

Do any anons have experience with Kamakura’s blazers? Half my jackets are 40R, and the other half are 38R. Their size chart isn’t very descriptive, but from what I can make out they suggest a 38(M). Can anyone else confirm?

Picrel is their “crazy madras” one that I’m interested in.

How can I be /tip/ in this snowstorm?

>>18357048
Husbands Paris makes horsebit loafers with a 1 3/8" heel. Expensive but at least you know somebody makes them

>>18351731
True. Some of their models have a fat 5cm hem which you can let out and leave 1cm. Leaves an ugly light line at the original hem though. All this and it's barely a no-break pant for me. Not a brand for tall&skinny people.

>>18345843
There's a thread on mfa praising Sebago Dan over G.H. Bass for beaters, search "beef rolls on a budget sebago"

>>18357537
Polo, chinos, trainers

>>18357385
I took a pretty nice blizzard walk yesterday in a duffle coat, merino long johns under wool slacks, and cashmere-lined leather gloves. I dont have any good boots so i wore longwing oxfords which are really effective, feet didnt get wet even after trudging through high mounds of snow.

Their sizes are weird because they use alpha sizing but do map to normal jacket sizing. I have their grey herringbone Blazer. I usually wear 40r too, but bought both their M (38) and L (40) to try. The large was much too baggy, shoulders too big, etc. Not in a good, relaxed way. The medium fits really well, but I would prefer it being slightly longer as it doesn't quite cover my ass. It's probably closer to a 40s than a 38r. Weirdly, when I first told them my measurements, they suggested XL, not sure what that was about. Anyway, I would suggest trying the medium unless you are okay buying both and returning one.

Just get the size they recommend. Are you trying to get a slim fit out of vintage ivy/kamakura classics? Their paints have to be worn at the actual waist just under your bellybutton, and unstructured jackets have some drape. Just look at the model picture and go by that. All of their items have extensive measurements for each section, just verify on something that already fits well.
I will say, unless you have the frame of a Jomon Japanese man, most things will fit poorly on you. No room for Yayois.

Parachute cloth shirts are banger as well, can tell they're going to be nearly indestructible. I might pick some more up soon, can wear them without sweaters and just a blazer on top when it's 20F outside.

>>18359011

i'm 5'3. this problem is the bane of my existence. you're going to have to get your pants tailored, hemmed, or buy a sewing machine. the last option would definitely be the cheapest and it would be a good hobby to pick up given the fact that it'll probably be difficult to find dress shirts that fit you either. i went to a korean guy recently to get my pants hemmed, i spent about 36$ but i have the feeling they're still going to be baggy around the legs. i have a pair of 32x28 ralph lauren pants coming in that i bought on ebay for a very reasonable price, about 20$, hopefully they fit. ebay a good place to find cheap pants from expensive brands with a short inseam. you'll also find that some pants are 33x29 but they'll fit like a 27 or 28.

I'm not sure if I can help you very much given you don't like baggy, but I second the other anon in telling you to buy asian brands.
Also when you thrift you're usually getting shit that's 30 years old from some dead guy's closet, so it's going to be ill fitting unless your entire wardrobe is from the same time period.

Just wear them the same as jeans. The only thing you ironically can't fit in to a casual environment is the navy blazer that Redditors are obsessed with. You can make pretty much everything in /tip/ work except that blazer with gold buttons, it's like a fedora.

>>18358277
>For reference, I'm 6'
They don't make clothes for you. I wear their large jackets and I'm 5'8". Their large is about the same as my older JPress 41R.

I'm fairly confident their sizing caps out at ~5'9" in height.
I'm 182lbs ~42" chest measurement and 36" hip (32" smallest ever when I was at ~12% bf), and their pants LARGEST size is W36 and they sell true to size, so I doubt anyone on this thread that isn't sub 5'8" can even wear their pants unless they're skeleton mode, at which case they'd top out at ~5'10" skelly as their largest inseam offered is 32"

If you're tall, their shirts really don't get much longer. I wear their size 16 shirts following their measurement guides, and they are 6 buttons with the last button right on my bellybutton, meaning even at my height I need higher waisted pants, which I've done by buying pants exclusively from them. I hear its a bit better with the NY fit shirts but those also cap out around 6' height.
I love Kamakura and their quality and fit is unmatched at that price point, but it's really made for shorter guys and I wouldn't recommend it for taller guys who unfortunately have to pay more for the quality, the likes of drakes or Jpress.

>>18360799
You're wrong, the medium fits me great at 183cm. Might be because I have a shorter torso. 182lbs is big for 5'8", so I guess you fill out the large jacket more than me

>>18360758

Zara and h&m are the type of brands that copy and disseminate trends not create them

>>18364369
So? The original question was why so many European zoomerinos are wearing baggy shit, not where the trend originated. The answer is because normie corps are showing them baggy shit. (Also, they’re not brands).

>>18364376
Baggy is finally mainstream now
I've noticed Euros usually buy whatever is on the H&M and Zara racks

>>18364398
>Baggy is finally mainstream now
I tend to look forward in time and I genuinely feel like it’s already over. With large pants it’s so easy to cross that line between cool and cringe, that the trend itself was doomed to die quickly, given the urge people and brands in general have to exaggerate everything. There are trends that remain cool even if they’re interpreted and carried out in exaggerated ways, others that die as soon as you project them under a ridiculous light.

More Kamakura in the mail. I've had their brown corduroy French chore jacket for a few months. I just received a blue corduroy blazer, but I've noticed that the material does not have the Brisbane Moss tag indicating the source of their material.
Likewise, I've had their gray ivy tweed blazer for a long while, which has an Abraham Moon tag for indicating the source of tweed, while the newly received brown version of the blazer has no such tags.

Contrary to what I initially assumed, it seems the materials with no source indication are higher quality than the UK branded ones. The stitching is also higher quality. This might explain why the French chore jacket and gray ivy tweed blazer I've owned for a while were on sale this last Black Friday, while the blue corduroy blazer and the brown ivy blazer were not on sale. I had waited for a long time and was disappointed I could not pick them up then. I couldn't wait any longer and just ordered them at full price a few days ago. I'm STILL waiting for the size 16 ecru OCBD's to come back in stock, and I regret not ordering more months ago.

>>18365532
You either want to match the tone or contrast with it enough. Avoid wearing shoes that are roughly similar but not the same shade. I like wearing sand wallabees with dark brown pants because they contrast. But usually i just wear dark brown loafers or wingtips. Also sneakers if its a more casual outfit.

>>18365897
I wish they made the undarted corduroy blazer in the same brown as the chore jacket. That brown shade seems hard to find in corduroy blazers.
I don't think the quality of the products you mentioned are why they are on sale, they're just older. The brown tweed jacket is one season newer than the grey one.
That's interesting about the quality though, I have the grey one too, so I was hesitant to get the brown when I saw the tweed source wasn't listed, but now I'm definitely reconsidering. I doubt the stitching quality difference you mentioned is related though, they're the same pattern and probably made in the same factory, so maybe just inconsistency in general.

Got a pair of trousers from Mango in this Italian navy flannel wool made in Portugal, very nice construction with cotton pocketing and horn buttons. The trousers are so nice that I feel it would be a shame not to get the blazer too. How would you casually wear a flannel suit?

>>18366658
Just wear the trousers regularly, with any other jacket. Once you're comfortable hang the jacket in reach, and there will come a day when you just feel like it and wear the jacket, too.

Any brands with dartless jackets in eu apart from John Simmons? Would be nice if it had long sizes too

>>18366043
Yeah looking at them more closely, its just hard to see the double shoulder stitching on the gray one, while its more pronounced on the brown tweed as its denser.
So I mean, the quality could also be a matter of opinion. The gray Abraham moon tweed is more relaxed and drapes well, with zero resistance on movement. The brown tweed is more usual, the kind of thing you'd see from JPress.

As for the corduroy, I wear the chore jacket (now discontinued apparently?) the same way I would a blazer. Corduroy blazer is just a pretty much a V-neck chore jacket if you really think about it.

>>18366658
>>18366658

Baggy fit in the chest is fine. Good even, it's the classic style. The neck looks like it fits well. Shoulders might be slightly too wide. Sleeves might be a tiny bit too long which excacerbates the wrinkling in the arms. But it'd look at least a bit better if you ironed it.
Also that belt is way too big proportionally and unfittingly casual for a white shirt & black pants.

If you want to look like a thug, that's independent of anything you're wearing. It's how you carry yourself and how physically imposing you legitimately are. You can easily pull off the thug look with a blazer, just watch any James Bond movie.

It's the "heringbone extra slim fit" from Haws and Curtis. It doesn't get thinner than this without going made-to-measure. Which is what I'll probably have to go for...

Does anyone have advice for wearing suit separates? I have an ugly slim black polyester suit from high school, and I'm in college. That's what I wear to career fairs. It's fairly casual where I am and although a suit makes for a good appearance, I don't like the one I have much, and a good new suit that fits me is kind of out of my budget at the moment unless I get lucky.

So, I'm considering going down a level in formality in exchange for something that fits and looks better. I'd like to wear dress pants and a suit jacket/sport coat/blazer rather than the black suit.

Can anyone give me any pointers? When I was looking at suits I wanted something in some shade of grey instead of black and with a bit of texture to it instead of the flat black of my current suit. Also something that would look good with oxford shirts instead of just dress shirts. Any help is appreciated

>Are there any benefits to a hand frame knit over machine knit other than tradition feels?
Eh, tradition feels is a big part of it, hand framed sweaters will have more stich variation and irregularities. Machine knit will be more uniform. I don't think there will be much difference in terms or give or stretchiness or anything like that.
