Is there any scans for Popeye and Fudge magazines?
>>18244742I have scans of dozens of magazines from various periods but won't share them unless tip collectively accepts the supremacy of mid rise over high rise
>>18244798Mid-Rise is better but that will never happen because people here enjoy the larp.
>>18244798we do
Personally I want a scan of this more than anything else.https://www.amazon.com/official-Sloane-Ranger-handbook-offspring/dp/0312582293

I have a quartz diver from the 90s that's not great but will get the job done. I have it on a NATO strap, but I'm pretty sure that when it gets wet the strap will just stay wet the whole time.

>>18245304I was under the impression that it was just a mirror of libgen. Thanks.
what are the best kamakura shirts? I see they have a variety of fits. I'm guessing the tokyo one is slim fit? I'd prefer a boxier fit
>>18245357The ivy series or new york relaxed fit
kop or drop trousers?
>>18245136Those do look great.Its funny, as a teen i thought menswear was totally lame because its all about little details and not expressing yourself. Now here i am analyzing the toebox shape on penny loafers.

How would you go about mixing trad/ivy/prep style with goth looks?All I can think of is wearing the old staples but in black
>>18245971I was thinking about this

>>18246168Define heavy. I like my surplus navy peacoat
>>18245971>How would you go about mixing trad/ivy/prep style with goth looks?I wouldn't.
>>18245971there truly is no reason to. all black prep just looks dorky, like waitstaff, tryhard, like shit. prep and trad tend to go for lots of color play, even within the dark academia shit like >>18246251 this anon suggested.think about what about parts of 'goth' you want to keep when you change to prep/trad. are you into victorian/vampire goth? 80s goth? "i wear an all black suit with a black shirt and a black tie and crazy combat boots, i'm so goth" goth? more importantly, you can listen to goth music while wearing light chinostl;dr- this anon is right >>18246295
>>18244860Going off of this, are there any other good Scottish/British sweater makers like Bosie? Don't say Drake's; I mean someone who specializes in knitwear. Imo all of the Scandinavian stuff looks dystopian and bland. The Scotsman have soul
Anyone have good brand for some wing tips?
>>18246410Alden, Allen Edmonds on sale, Grant Stone, Meermin, Beckett Simonon, Ranncourt, vintage Florsheim
>>18246366Jpress shaggy dogs are really good, same with Oconell's shetlands. I don't think they're made in Scotland though. I prefer Jpress, fantastic colors, incredibly warm and durable as well.

I'm looking to get a fair isle sweater. There are a lot of options, most of them I find too vibrant. I'm looking for something fairly muted in olive/brown/grey which seems difficult to find. What are your thoughts on a fair isle sweater in non-traditional colors like exclusively gray/white or navy/white?
>>18247133https://www.shetlandknitwear.com/product-category/all-over-fair-isle-jumpers/
>>18247136>https://www.shetlandknitwear.com/product-category/all-over-fair-isle-jumpers/Good site but I can't afford those, 4x the price of the Jamieson's and equivalent I was looking at
>>18247160Yeah i didn't realize those were 4x the price of their solid color sweaters.Hand knit is great and all and i like that they have fair isles made entirely with natural wool of different colors but yeah that's a bit much
>>18247133pic relI'm hesitant that this might look a bit too modern, and also may not fit with the earthy tones of everything else including the Barbours I typically wear. Although, I do think it's a warm gray.The alternative is something like this, which I also think looks strange, despite being more brown. Maybe I should just hold off on purchasing one.https://www.jamiesonsknitwear.co.uk/crew-neck-sweater---9329-eesit-243-p.asp
>>18247178the brown one is just disgusting, napoleon dynamite would wear that
>>18247181thanks, agree. not sure if the grey one looks too christmas-like with everything looking like snowflakes
>>18247133https://www.originalblues.co.uk/fair-isle-crew-339-c.aspA few that are somewhat less loud in hereSome of them have bigger neck openings then othersAlso they don't charge VAT if you don't live in the uk which is nice, some brands just pocket that extra profit
Can someone explain to me what "Old Money" aesthetic means?It just seems like earth/neutral tone prepwear
>>18247566In Zoom zoom's little brains, "Old Money" just means "rich attractive white people clothes". Conversely, Dark Academia means rich and intelligent white people clothes, Grandpacore (yes, really) means rich and old white people clothes. Self explanatory, really.

Bit of a long shot but where in Australia, Sydney specifically, do I find good menswear stores?Moved here about a year ago and it is absolutely abysmal to find anything of good quality and cut. They don't have the usual brands I am used to from Europe.Would prefer not to deal with online stores btw, I like trying on clothes before I buy them.Thanks in advance.
>>18247818There is a thread specially for Australians on styleforum. You will find it quite easily in the traditional menswear section.

>>18248267how would you improve it?
>>18248274Not that anon, but >cardigan is too small and looks like he cant even close the top button>jeans are too slim and tapered, imo a 1966 levis reproduction works best with a /tip/ outfit>shoes are too formal for jeans, loafers or derbies would work better
>>18248281Those look like derbies or bluchers to me. Not too formal but strange to wear stockless.
can collars like these (apparently called grandad collars) be used in a /tip/ way?i like the look of pic rel but don't know what to wear it with
>>18248290good morning sir
>>18248190Wow a whole AI video thanks for proving my point dude
>>18248290i think they work well as a slightly more interesting alternative to the standard unbuttoned shirt over a t-shirt style as in pic relatedbut this isn't especially /tip/
>>18247566this isn't the right place to ask thatgo to shitter and ask them what they mean instead
>>18244737I'm thinking of getting a lightly used pair of duck boots on ebaydoes anyone have general sizing tips for these shoes, specifically the LL bean ones?
My girlfriend booked a cabin in the woods as a birthday gift for the end of October, I'm going to take some tweed and see how well it blends in with the changing foliage. I know this is autistic but fuck it, it makes me happy so I'm going to run around the forest like a retard and see if I can blend in with anything.My hypothesis is the glen plaid and glen check tweeds that are multicolor with browns, oranges, greens and reds will blend in, the herringbone and barleycorn will stand out more.
>>18248698ok
Is a blazer and tie really just a cheat code for easy fashion?
>>18248786>Is a blazer and tie really just a cheat code for easy fashion?Pretty much. Throw a decent pair of chinos and loafers on and you're set. There's a reason certain looks have worked mostly unchanged for decade. Sure some things change slightly like lapel width and button height but a conservatively cut blazer that fits works just as well now as it did in the 1950s.
>>18244887>What's the best band for a watch I'm going to wear in the water?Rubber probably
>>18248098I wear Dior Homme men’s black tie.
>>18248274wear clothes that actually fit
>>18247578true, but thats on older generations for utterly failing to pass on any cultural language with which to describe these things and them having to come up with their own terms to describe fashions that dont fall under the streetwear umbrella
>>18245971You’ll look like Todd from Wedding Crashers. You can wear menswear staples in all black, it won’t be trad.

>>18244740>https://www.instagram.com/kleidsam/"Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam", or "Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam" (English: "Furthermore, (moreover) I consider that Carthage must be destroyed"), often abbreviated to "Ceterum censeo", "Carthago delenda est" (English: "Carthage must be destroyed"), is a Latin oratorical phrase. The term originates from the Roman Republic in the 2nd century BC, prior to the Third Punic War between Rome and Carthage. The expression was a call to arms by the party advocating destruction of Rome's ancient rival Carthage, which was thought to be rebuilding its capacity for further warfare. The phrase is particularly associated with the Roman senator Cato the Elder, who is said to have used it as the conclusion to all his speeches.
>>18249622I don't but they're definitely quite UK private school/oxbridge core, if that's what you want
>>18249303definitely naruhito he even wrote a book about his time at oxford. he was a huge anglophile and definitely quite into oxbridge aesthetics
>>18245136TLB makes absolutely incredible shoes for insanely good prices. I have a pair of split toe derbies from their Artista line and they easily rival my Carminas and Cheaneys

Whats this shirt pattern called?
>>18249989Get a Japanese remake rather than the Levi's one. Their version is actually quite low waisted, they only 4 buttons on the fly. Whereas the Japanese ones are often cheaper and feature a much higher waist.

Always check the size charts when buying jap shit, I had to go up 3 waist sizes the other day compared to what I wear in levis 501s.

What are some of your favorite Ivy outfits? I recently read Take Ivy and was pretty inspired to get into that kind of aesthetic. But I feel like its too larpy for some reason.
So should i get a mountain parka? I see a few good used ones out there

>>18250475

>>18250475>Take Ivydoes anyone know if an oxbridge equivalent of take ivy exists?i.e., something documenting the fashion of oxbridge students around the 60s
>>18250598>an actual penny in one loafer>the flap on the other bent, probably in the course of some legendary caperI kneel.
>>18250788Not much thought required, light blue goes with everything. Even most other shades of blue.
>>18249622They look good when worn over a shirt and tie
>>18251128This actually looks good. I steer clear of them because of the chrischan factor, but they look comfy as fuck.
>>18251128Do people actually do this outside of ralph lauren photoshoots
>>18249622All the time, they're a great throw-over for when it's a bit chilly and you are keeping it casual. I keep one in my office for when I get chilled. They are casual/beater core though. Don't think you're dressing up if you wear one.
I hate how long my shetlands are. They fit fine otherwise. Is it worth trying to shrink them or do I just need to deal with this
>>18251387Which brands do you own?>>18250803Oxbridge students aren't effay, so no
I have an academic ceremony tomorrow, do the stripes in my tie clash with the stripes on my shirt? I think it looks fine, but I’m aware of a general rule of avoiding stripes on stripes because they can clash and appear much too busy. If not this shirt, I can wear a white shirt w/ spread collar.
>>18251413harley/bosie
>>18251429Yeah, they're always quite long, and I find the collar to be quite sloppy and not tight to the neck like I prefer. If you are ever considering buying more and would be open to other brands, then there's a shetland sweater article on permanent style. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll find garment length and chest measurements of a given size which have been tabulated for different brands. Bosie actually produce the longest shetlands according to the table, which holds true with my experience. A couple inches less makes a huge difference if you can get it.https://www.permanentstyle.com/2021/12/the-guide-to-shetland-sweaters-part-two-brands.html

replied to this twice and it just didn't get posted, fuck this website >>18249532>>18249543i love polo green. i just got a big bottle of it (i live in a country where it's hard to get). i also wear polo blue EDP as a basic summer aquatic scent. dior eau sauvage is supposed to be a prep classic but it never clicked for me. but honestly, my daily office scent is old spice, it's a good clean barbershop scent and it's cheap as hell. then again, there's little conception of american prep where i live now, so i guess anything flies. >>18251420not a fan of the tie, mostly the material or weave it seems to have. if you're committed to the stripes, id probably wear a basic navy and red regimental. otherwise, the white shirt would probably be best tbqh
>>18251774Are those new bottles meant to be refillable? How do they work?
>>18251774Shortly after posting I decided to go with the white - I agree.
Need some advice. I work in an office. My wardrobe at the moment is OCBDs (3 university stripe, 2 white, 2 blue), five pairs of chinos from spier and mckay, and one pair of kamakura ivy 5 pocket khaki denim pants. Allen edmunds penny loafers, sperry venetian loafers for shoes. I wear varying colors of J.Press 3 button roll collar etc etc you know the drill. I don't have that waxed canvas barboury whatever, its not my style.Anyways, my loafers aren't in great condition and my allen edmunds feel a bit too formal. Wondering if I should get a pair of GH Bass Weejuns (they have some plaid ones on their site) or some sperry flat bottom loafers that are a bit more dressed down. I think I can wear pretty much whatever kind of shoe if I don't wear a blazer, but I get the feeling that once I put on the blazer with nice shoes, the formality goes too high for the office environment. I try to copy the OCBD blog guy, but his fits are crazy good and his clothes are all faded/worn to perfection and I'm just not there yet.Another thing, for the kamakura 5 pocket ivy pants, they're absolutely my favorite pair of pants, and I'm wondering if the pennant 5 pocket from J press is something you guys know is of decent quality. There's also duck head among others, just not sure if I should bite the bullet and order a few more off kamakura rather than test the waters with another brand that could be of lesser quality.
Why don't any brands make /tip/ camelhair sweaters anymore?
>>18251992>Another thing, for the kamakura 5 pocket ivy pants, they're absolutely my favorite pair of pants,Nobody does 5 pockets quite like japan
>>18251992>WeejunsDon't do it. I just grabbed a pair, the fit is great but the leather is cheap as shit. I'm not well trained on shoe leather quality but even I can tell the difference between these and my Allen Edmonds, Alden, Sebago, etc. My Cole Haan loafers are much higher quality, that should tell you something.I think Allen Edmonds are great, there's a certain formality cap on loafers in my opinion. If you want something that looks more casual Ranncourt, Grant Stone, Oak Street Bootmakers, Meermin and Alden have great options. Older Sebago loafers are fantastic value second hand, same with Trask loafers if you get the miUSA ones.>>18251420I think a striped shirt and striped tie can work, something feels off about the tie and jacket combo though.>>18250007Looks like Panama weavehttps://www.spierandmackay.com/product/blue---panama-ts-2960-mtm>Yesterday's fitCool weather finally hit, absolutely loving it.
>>18250597wow I think I have this exact jacket in this exact color
>>18251992Yeah current year Weejuns suck dick. What leather color and style are your Edmonds? Try a more casual material like snuff or chocolate suede with a chunky moc toe. Theyll go great with or without a blazer.
>>18251992GH Bass has the ”soft leather Loafer” which according to them is full grain leather.
>>18252189>$200>Made in a shit hole>CementedDude for 200 just buy Meermin
>>18252210They’re cemented? But the outsole is stitched?
What kind of wool trousers casually so they dont look like orphaned suit trousers and are still comfortable? Flat/Pleated, belt/adjusters, flannel/twill/?, lined/unlined, crease/no crease, turn up/not
>>18252249The more pattern/texture the trousers have, the less they look like orphaned trousers. However trousers don't suffer quite the same stigma as suit jackets, you can get away with wearing plain grey suit trousers outside of a suit and no one's going to yell that they're orphaned.If you want the most casual cut it would probably be full cut, belt, pleats and turn ups/cuffs.
>>18251774>polo greenpatrician
>>18244737what a version of this aesthetic that doesn't make you look like someone who would be easy to rob or beat up?
>>18250803The rennaissance of the British equivalent was in the 80s. Look into Sloane Ranger.
>>18252291First of all being fit obviously helps. But dude there are thousands and thousands of people who walk around big cities wearing nice clothes without getting mugged, like myself. Dont be a pussy.
>>18252291You lean away from the classroom/nerdy versions towards the sporting/outdoorsy influenced stuff. The real thing at the end of the day though is your physique and the clothes looking "lived in."

give me a /tip/ on some good hiking boots
Is the sweater guy still here?Im thinking of picking up a new jumper.I quite like these natural color frame knit ones.https://www.shetlandknitwear.com/product/crew-neck-jumper-mooskit/But im wondering if i should just go with Harley's Of Scotland.The price will be about the same, thickness is similar but the Harley's has saddle shoulders while the other is flat knit with attached sleeves.Im wondering if the saddle shoulders improve fit and help the garment keep it's shape better or if the differences are mostly aesthetic.Anything else i should be considering in the $100-$150 range other then the brands in the pastebin?
>>18252525>give me a /tip/ on some good hiking bootsIf you want the hiking boot look and aren't taking them hiking then fracap. If you have money coming out your ears Ralph Lauren purple label.If you want some outdoorsy boots that aren't that 70s hiker look then pic related from crocket and jones.If you live in northern new England then get moc boots from easymoc or yuketen

Hitting up kamakura in Japan next week, I'm set for light blue and white shirts, what else is good? I'm thinking yellow (maybe yellow university stripes), and their chambray popovers look nice. Probably budgeting about 500 for some nice shirts
>>18252818>>18252686>>18252892What about black socks?

Just bought a shitload of shirts from Spier&Mackay, they are slow as fuck shipping. I love OCBDs but their spread collars look better when you're wearing a tie IMHO. There's more room for a knot and the collar points sit under the lapels of your coat.

What type of knits do you think are nice to get in a shetland wool? I don't like when items in my wardrobe overlap and there is some redundancy, for example I think a cable knit is probably nicer and looks better in a cashmere, so I'd be less likely to buy a cable shetland. I'm just not sure what is really beautiful in shetlands and makes the most out of them. It's the same reason why I'd buy a rich heathered gray sweatshirt over a navy one.Is it worth getting non-brushed shetland or do you think brushed is the best for them?Any roll necks or are they best left to other styles, perhaps ribbed merino etc or donegals?Shetlands in dark muted colors like charcoal and olive green, only pastels, or exclusively warm lighter colors?
I took the ivy pill and now all my clothes need to be dry cleaned. Am I retarded for this?
>>18252028True, but they're also quite expensive and still need to be hemmed. The positive is that they're the best pants I've ever worn, and the site lists measurements to a T, along with the rest of their offerings. I could get two pants from J.Press for the same price however. >>18252029Darn, I did hear that they dropped down in quality just to satisfy the meme. My allen Edmuns aren't bad, they just seem ever so slightly too formal for me, pic related some of my shoes. Maybe I'll post the rest of my closet if anyone cares. >>18252291It was really hard to not look ridiculous as a younger guy, I'm glad I'm finally in my 30s and able to wear this at a real job, and yes my career choice and field of study was super motivated by my style of clothing.>>18252107>>18252107pic related my edmunds. And yeah chunky moc is what I'm looking for a bit, as like I said, I feel like my tweed sports coats are a bit too formal with the AE's.
>>18254270You don't need to dry clean everything, all your undershirts, socks, underwear, and cotton pants and OCBD's can be machine washed, just hang them up to dry, give them a good shake beforehand and once they dry just hang them up, any wrinkles are gone within the first minute of wearing, that's what I do with all my clothes. Just drop off all your dry clean items at work.
>>18254273>And yeah chunky mochttps://www.quoddy.com/collections/mens-in-stock/products/mens-blucher-shoe-whiskeyOr Some rancourt camp mocs

>>18254274>cotton pants and OCBD's can be machine washed, just hang them up to dry, give them a good shake beforehand and once they dry just hang them up, any wrinkles are gone within the first minute of wearingInteresting, this is what I have been doing for years yet all my shirts and pants are always wrinkled after washing and putting them on doesn't magically make the wrinkles go away.
>>18251992I bought those Kamakura pants from (likely) your recommendation. They're excellent, perfect fitting pants. My one concern is that I usually prefer a more substantial fabric. Hoping to find something with the same fit but heavier fabric one day.
Buck mason has some medium/high rise chinos that look pretty goodhttps://www.buckmason.com/products/uniform-khaki-paperback-twill-full-saddle-chino

>>18252291the version where I have a .38 in my jacket pocket
burgundy or brown loafers?
>>18255984I don't know why they went ahead with that name, it sounds like some shit that would get bundled in a monthly subscription box with dudewipes and squatch soaps.
>>18255343so fucking iron or steam your clothing. it's not rocket science bro
>>18256176Burgundy or black calf leather or shell Cordovan. Brown suede.
>>18256176Depends on what you're trying to wear anon tell us a little more
>>18256203Mostly khaki or olive chinos, navy or grey slacks White or blue shirts Tweed jackets or black coatsNo tie
>>18255984>>18255987you should have posted the green pics instead of the dork pics though, just saying
>>18255984Thanks for that, I'm trying new brands for chinos. My Casatlantic should come in today, Jack Donelly will be later this week. I'll give these a try too.
>>18256231Having tried both Jack Donelly M3s and Casatlantic El Jadidas, I much prefer Casatlantic
Can anyone recommend a good unfinished chino with at least a 13 inch rise? I have a long inseam, big thighs, and a big butt. All the chinos that will fit my thighs have a short rise. All the chinos that will fit my thighs and rise have a 32 inch inseam. Woe is me. I just want some pants that will fit.
>>18256605Casatlantic. They're not unfinished, but they'll sell you a 34" inseam
>>18256623What if I need a 36? I’m 6’5” and long legged.
>>18256672Go bespoke you freak
>>18254360Not bad.>>18255343Sorry, it depends on your standard for "wrinkly". I machine wash in delicates cycle (shirts buttoned up, inside out, collar and sleeves not buttoned), then flip them back right side out and button everything up to dry, indoors, 68F 50% humidity. They're always a bit stiff the moment you put them on, but they turn super soft after a few minutes as well. Its not iron smooth or fresh out of the dryer smooth, but its more than adequate for me in an office setting.>>18255821I haven't heard of anyone else here purchasing them, or purchasing from Kamakura at the same rate as I've been doing the last few months, so I'm assuming it was from my post. I've had pants with more substantial fabric, duluth trading in particular, but the issue here is the way the pants are cut to conform to the body and body movements. I have pants from Spier and McKay that are nice, but its as if they were cut and designed for someone with a different body shape. I actually just received the Kamakura unstructured ivy jacket, and it fits as if it were tailored for me, which seems absurd as its only sold in S/M/L/XL sizing. The material is for sure higher quality than any of the J.Press jackets I own. Just typing all this out, I don't think I'll even bother looking at other pants, I seriously doubt I will find anything comparable to the Kamakura pants.
>>18256682I’m not a freak. I’m a man! I figured unfinished chinos would be more prevalent. I don’t know why I thought that, but I did. Isn’t there an anon here who makes their own clothes? That seems daunting, but maybe that’s the route I have to go too.
>>18244737What do you guys think about these jeans?12.5 inch front rise btwhttps://suitsupply.com/en-ca/men/trousers/-light-blue-straight-leg-jeans/B1411.html?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A20358369110%3A149549032285%3A665279634225&nb_adtype=pla&nb_ti=pla-299237343814&nb_mi=8015150&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=B141114&nb_ppi=299237343814&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhYC5sL7aiAMVHFn_AR3rLQaYEAQYAiABEgInZvD_BwE
>>18256807Somehow it doesn't look quite right when its blue jeans. I'd still get them and just keep an untucked shirt, so I'd get the comfort without anyone noticing how high rise the pants are.
>>18256812>I'd still get them and just keep an untucked shirtMy whole goal look is a background character in a new york 1989 film, so a rolled up sleeve oxford like this or the white with slightly gray stripes
>>18256000you just have boring taste
>>18256700>I seriously doubt I will find anything comparable to the Kamakura pants.Those are some serious pants! Just getting them hemmed so I'll collect them from the tailor later today and reexamine.That's interesting about the rest of the Kamakura Line, I'll have invest. I'll likely order some custom shirts from their "Maker's Shirt" domain and get a friend to proxy as it seems half the price.
>>18252686For me it's patterned wool socks like Kiel James Patrick (only good thing he still makes since they comes from Chups in Japan), Anonymous-ism, and even Darn Tough sell.
Still rocking seersucker
>>18257309Can I breed you?
>>18256831Looks more like a waiter in New York than a background character in a film set in New York
TFW those beef roll penny loafers I ordered from Rancourt during their pre-order thing won't arrive until December... I've been waiting almost 2 months already and once they get here I won't even be able to wear them until spring lul >>18257309looking comfy anon

I've been waiting almost 2 months already and once they get here I won't even be able to wear them until spring lul I should have just fucking bought those. Now im either paying $350 for the same pair or coping with something else.Rancourt is one of the only brands making proper casual looking beef rolls. Most of the euro brand penny loafers are way too damn formal looking
Any of you guys have tattoos? Do you hide them?
>>18257450I have tattoos but none are visible unless i have my shirt off, a deliberate decision on my part
>>18257402I got my Harrison Boots early! Hopefully yours come soon too, anon. >>18257432The beef rolls are usually on the preorder sales. There should be another one coming up in spring. That’s when I’m planning on ordering mine.
Buttonless button down, thoughts?
>>18257735a what now?
>>18257735>Buttonless button down, thoughts?Anon discovers point collars.Casatlantic trousers came in, need to wash them in hot water to get the shrinkage out, inseam should be 32 but it's right under 33 at the moment. Pleased with the fit otherwise. Tie is navy, one day I'll figure out what indoor lighting makes navy show up as blue.
>>18257735pointless
>>18257790I've got a jacket that fits similar to that and I always thought the sleeves were too short. Do you think that's an alright amount of shirt sleeve to show for a more casual jacket like that? I have a hard time telling.Pants look great by the way. Jadidas?
>>18257803Just got the jacket in, going to have the sleeves let out by a 0.5-0.75 inches, right now they are a touch short for me. For casual jackets like this it's honestly not a big deal. This is a casual sport coat. Tweed, patch pockets, leather buttons and suede elbow patches means its waaaaaay down on the formality scale.Yes these are the El Jadidas.
I've got a pair of Allen Edmond park aves in that awful walnut color. Is there any way to still make these work, or am I pretty much better served by a darker brown shoe in basically every situation?
>>18257820There's literally nothing wrong with the walnut color. Get a belt in a matching shade or close to it, wear it with lighter colored fits in the spring and summer.
>>18257792actually it's pointful
what shoes should i wear with shorts (florida), i already have boat shoes but wearing them everyday smells pretty bad
>>18257820Are they pic related? Yeah, that's a pretty bad color imo. I don't know how retarded this is but could you dye/ stain them?
>>18257884Pretty much these exactly but with some subtle brogueing on the toe cap. I have a more traditional dark brown pair as well, I'm just wondering if there's any situation where the tan would actual be preferred
>>18257888There's literally nothing wrong with that color, it's just less versatile than dark brown.For suits and sport coats it works well with light to medium grey, olive and other shades of green,stone,light khaki, and light shades of navy. It's just not a fall/winter color. Don't try and dye them yourself, just put them aside for spring and summer use.If anyone wants to explain how that color doesn't pair well with the colors I mentioned, I'm all ears. Again, dark brown is a more traditional and versatile choice, but this isn't a bad color.
>>18257883Loafers and camp mocs. You shouldn't wear the same pair of shoes everyday especially if your feet are sweating.
>>18256179buck mason sounds like something you'd name your original character if you were born too early to name them drake ravenshrike
>>18257883First off buy invisible socks if you havent alreadySecond get some camp mocs birkenstocks and tevas
Does anyone wear a flatcap or whatever during winter? I just wear a red watchcap and it would be nice to have some variety, but everytime I look for one of these the model is wearing like a fucking waistcoat and all sorts of larpy shit. What about a beret or any other suggestions?
Someone please talk me out of buying tweed sneakers, I noticed that there are some tweed sambas which have recently been released. My only sneakers right now are NB 990s in gray. They're ok but I don't really like the shape, or the color, the gray is too cold and doesn't look good with the rest of my wardrobe. I remember buying them after consuming too many Drake's/ALD lookbooks.
>>18258320I have a waxed one with drop-down earflaps I wear from time to time but you're 100% right about them looking LARPy. I'd wear it significantly more if I didn't feel like an insufferable faggot every time I put it on my head, because it's very convenient and looks nice. Sometimes you just gotta rep it though. The surroundings make a big difference, if you're in some rural shithole in Tennessee you probably couldn't pull it off but countryside east coast you'll look dapper.

Where the fuck do i get 100% cotton two button pique knit polos other then PRL and that brittsh brand?The OCBD blog guy said to get the lands end mesh polos but they just changed them to be 2% spandex.I think their school uniform polos are the original 100% cotton design but i would love some other options, preferably with half decent long staple cotton and no embroidered logo.Must be pique knit none of this bullishit "luxury polo" nonsense made out of jersey fabric.
>>18258725Sunspel Riviera
>>18258725For me, it's the original
>>18258546I live in Norf Bongland and it rains way too much for suede. I've got a pair of Astorflex boots and have conditioned & waterproofed them, but if it's supposed to rain a lot I will not wear them. Thinking of getting these from Loake.
>>18258734Lacoste makes nice polos but it's obnoxious that you have to specifically source the french domestic market ones to get the good stuff
Is a 1" belt too narrow for a dress belt?
>>18258751No 1" is the standard for dress belts
>>18258750I didnt know that was an option, interesting.
>>18258751No, but it may be to narrow for your trouser's loops >>18258750Red pill me on this
>>18258765Actually im looking now and it seems like they sell the L.12.12 on the us website. I would have to do some digging to see if there is still a difference. I think the french ones used to be produced domestically but it doesn't look like they still are.
So the french Lacoste website has a few made in France polos but they are all ugly so fuck it.Maybe they make some cheap polos they sell to thridies but it looks like the standard classic they sell in US and France is the same nowhttps://www.lacoste.com/fr/lacoste/homme/vetements/polos/manches-courtes/PH5981-00.html?color=166https://www.lacoste.com/fr/lacoste/homme/vetements/polos/manches-courtes/PH6006-00.html?color=70Vhttps://www.lacoste.com/fr/lacoste/homme/vetements/polos/manches-courtes/PH8135-00.html?color=GA3https://www.lacoste.com/fr/lacoste/homme/vetements/polos/manches-courtes/PH3760-00.html?color=70V
>>18244737i need advice for ties and i think this is probably the only thread where i will get it. i am going to start a new job where i have to wear a suit and tie every day. i only have 3 ties right now that are pretty bad, they look cheap and feel cheap. what brands would you recommend for good quality ties. i am not trying to stand out with crazy patterns, but i still want the ties to be nice.
>>18258814Just buy a bunch of pre-owned silk repp ties on ebay. Brand doesn't matter too much but avoid cheap shit brands and make sure the ties are the proper length for you and are in good condition.No reason to pay $60-$100 to get new ties
>>18258814I love ties. Good brands include:S-tier: $$$ ($200+/tie)- Charvet- Hermes- Ferragamo- DrakesThese are some of the highest quality ties, both in materials and craftmanship. You will get patterns and details here you won't find anywhere else. Be aware that these are a power item in some workplaces, reserved for the bigdicks. If you show up to you first day on Wall Street wearing an Hermes critter tie, you will raise some eyebrows.A-tier: The Ivies ($70-$200/tie)- The Andover Shop- Ben Silver- Brooks Brothers- Gitman Bros.- Polo Ralph LaurenThese are great ties to build out your collection. Ties from these brands tend to have a "classic" feel, exuding a collegiate charm. Ties like a Brooks Brother #1 stripe are the closest thing that exists to an "essential" tie. B-tier: Getting Started ($20-$70/tie)- J. Crew- Vineyard Vines- The Tie BarNo one is going to be impressed when they flip your tie and see it's from the Tie Bar, but they make a huge selection of better than average quality neckwear for cheap. When I got my first white-collar job, those were all I wore. These brands aren't as sought-after as those above, and some like VV can be hit or miss, but they're a great value.I have ties from all of these brands, so ask any questions if you'd like. There's many others I left out, but hopefully this gets you started
>>18258823i will search around for some pre-owned options. >>18258848i appreciate the advice. i will probably look into the mid range ties to start. out of those in a-tier, what brand would you say has the best craftsmanship? a big problem with my cheap ties is that they all started fraying so quickly. i won't have a large amount to start and i want to make sure the ties i do get will last for a while.
>>18258320I wear a Basque beret from Laulhère. Love it as it's quite versatile and keeps you dry. Just need to put up with people occasionally saying bonjour to you.Other than that I wear wool watchcaps/beanies and kufi haji.
>>18258929how do you wear a beret without looking ridiculous? genuinely asking
>>18258814>>18258823Even ebay is overkill, any Goodwill should have 50+ 100% silk ties in pristine condition for $3.50 each
>>18259042Nta I bought a silk tie from goodwill I like but it was left tied and it has creases. What's the best way to get them out?
On a scale of one to 10 with one being rancout beefroll penny loafers and 10 being extremely european looking loafers how formal would you rate these?
>>182590855, it has sleeker lines than a casual beefroll but the near right angles towards the upper keeps it from having that sleek pointed European look.
Will I regret this purchase from suitsupply? I'm looking for a pair of wool trousers I can wear casually in the English climate.The fabric is an unknown to me but they advertise it for casual wear
>>18259475Yes, you will. Firstly, they are far too slim and those cuffs are huge. Secondly, and most importantly, navy wool trousers look awful as a separate trouser especially when they are as dark and smooth as these. I'd avoid navy at all cost really. Perhaps only decent in a flannel.
>>18259475On top of what the other guy said, "traveller fabric" makes me think they probably have some unnecessary synthetic/stretch/noniron shit.Flannel is a great choice, or even tweed. For casual pants you want more texture and a less formal color (grey is fine though).
I purchased a pair of Crockett & Jones Grasmeres for $200 AU (approximately $14.29 US)
>>18259530And then I cleaned them up :)
>>18259526No it's pure wool by Barberis. The lining is also cupro. Suitsupply doesn't sell anything synthetic including linings.
