Stop larping. You're either a balding lonely nerd or a psychopath. Stop larping.
split the brand pastebin into europe and us
>>18290446Imagine being this angry at menswear lmao, why are you projecting so hard ?
fuck up all the pastebins and pass it on to the next guy.
>>18290446>Stop larping. You're either a balding lonely nerd or a psychopath. Stop larping.
>>18290446im not balding
Is trifting for /tip/ stuff /tip/?Or do i have to spend 150 bucks for a sweater?
>>18290908Is it /tip/ to look for high quality and well-fitting chance finds at a thrift store? Sure.But you're not gonna be able to build an entire wardrobe that way. Even in nice areas, it's not that easy to find good stuff anymore, let alone in the right size. Lightweight summer stuff is even harder to find since it wears out quicker, and pastels are hard since they show stains so easily.
A few threads ago I asked how to blend goth and ivy/prep, so let me rephrase the question with background information. I like dressing /tip/, and I’ve always liked “alt” music and been attracted to women who dress goth as well as women who dress alt in other ways, but those styles look retarded and faggy on 99% of men. So:How do I signal to alt bitches that I fucking love The Cure while maintaining my style?>inb4 just talk to them about musicTalking about music is stupid and gay
stop larping
>>18291229Reevaluate your life because that post was pathetic. I’d recommend you start by lifting weights and getting a job.
>>18291099Thats why we have vinted in yurop. You can basically order second hand stuff from all over europe. I got myself gant and lacoste sweater, they look like theyre from the 90's. That being said, id trift only for sweaters and maybe jackets or coats. Maybe shirts. Id feel bad wearing second hand trousers or shoes.
>>18291229>>18291283this anon is correct. It's pretty embarrassing to want to visually broadcast your interests while stating that just talking about it like a normal person is stupid and gay. If you're that desperate, wear something like this as a casual fun shirt and be amazed that every woman over 40 likes the cure.
>>18290446Sorry you were forced to participate in this thread without your will. They had no right to do that to you
Why is the general dead? Post fits, post recent gets
>>18291491>woman over 40ewww gross
>>18291283>start by lifting weights and getting a jobMy job involves lifting weights
>>18291491Have you ever had a conversation about music? It’s the lowest form of conversation. >while maintaining my styleWay to read, retard>>18291836Based. Women over 40 don’t dress alt or goth and are wrinkly hags
>>18291880>Have you ever had a conversation about music? It’s the lowest form of conversation.Most "conversations" about art are total garbage that consist of little more than "have you heard/read/seen X" "oh yeah I liked/didn't like it."
>>18291832>Post fits, post recent getsHave you considered doing it yourself?.
>>18291943I can't believe you wear this shit on a daily basis. I can't stop laughing.
How can I make this sport jacket look more /tip/, and a little more casual? I don't want to wear a button down shirt underneath, so what sweaters would work?
>>18291943Holy shit bro, are you okay? Where’s your head…?
>>18291953>More tip>Won't wear a shirt?
I've got a beige barn coat but I'm annoyed I can't wear it with my beige chinos.
>>18291908Exactly.
Maybe you got 20 bucks to spare but 20 bucks cant buy this jumper
>>18291880>while maintaining my stylethat is the way, if you're so against having a conversation with a woman. What do you expect someone to say? wear full trad to a Cure show and look like a retard? The basis of your attraction to these women is already based on a shallow aspect of their appearance, so you doing the same isn't a huge leap.
>>18292242Not him but Ive gone to underground emo/punk shows in my preppy wardrobe and it did feel a bit odd.
>>18292319why did you do that? how old are you
>>18292335Early 20s, thats just the kind of music i like and the only clothes i own
>>18292373I guess its doable in major metropolitan areas, theres a large amount of "anonimity in the crowd" there
>>18290443Is this blazer slightly too long?
>>18292694In the torso? Not really, it should cover your ass.The shoulders however are a little too wide, that's why the top of the sleeve caves in slightly on each arm. The sleeves are also too long. That's an easy fix but you can't really fuck with shoulder width too much. The shoulders don't ruin the look and most people won't notice, just try and get something around an inch narrower in the shoulder next time.
>>18291229Goth hos will like you if you're tall and have an attractive face, so try that.
What is the model of the jacket called?
>>18292694>2 button>darted>overly paddedThe length is the least of your concerns
>>18293014anorak. That is probably the J. Press patchwork madras one
>>18292694i guess a bit, but it looks alright
>>18290443Not sure if this is the thread for it but I got hired at a place that has the full salaryman dress code (coat and tie in neutral colors and leather shoes) and I've never worn or owned a suit before. Will 200 eurobucks get me anything decent or should I just go for the cheapest suit in the clearance store?
>>18293216>Will 200 eurobucks get me anything decent or should I just go for the cheapest suit in the clearance store?New? Fuck no.Used? Absolutely
Do I have fa's permission to wear this "shaket" to my semi-formal office?
I bought some Lands End relaxed fit pleated knockabout chinos, and I really like the fit and the flap pockets. The material is subpar. Does anyone know any 100% cotton pants in a similar style/fit? I’m on a budget, but can afford around 150 USD. I’d also like to admire clothes that are out of my price range, so send those too.
>>18293314LL Bean has 100% cotton chinos for about $65. They do have a non iron treatment but they feel fine.The Bronson 1944 chinos are around $80 and would probably be perfect for you if you are happy with the fit.https://bronsonshop.com/products/1944-usmc-officer-trousers-oliveBelow $150 the chinos from warehouse co, workers japan officer trousers or the buzz rickson original spec chinos would all be a good choice.
>>18293341Also i should mention i would suggest hang drying all of these or any 100% Cotton chinos or expect the waist to shrink by about an inch. The LL Bean ones specifically might be sized with that shrinkage in mind but it depends a lot on your body.
>>18293292not for semi formal

>>18293341>>18293343>>18293357Thanks for the recs. I’ll look at the size charts for all of them. My inseam is a limiting factor for a lot of pants.
>>18293314https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/clothing/trousers/chinos
Havent bought clothes in awhile. Just ordered a new white OCBD (my current one is a bit thin and i realized the sleeves are too short) and a used duffle coat since I dont have any overcoats. Gotta be ready for winter.
>>18293677Cool choice anon.
Going to Japan soon. Where should I go for clothes? Already going to beams plus, jpress, ships, and a few boutiques. Not interested in second hand. Also, anyone know how jpress made in Japan compares to made in USA in terms of quality? I assume the sizing is different
>>18290446YOU WILL WEAR THE SKIN TIGHT LULU LEMON SWEATPANTS AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!
>>18290446>Stop larping. You're either a balding lonely nerd or a psychopath. Stop larping.No. Also I'm bald, not balding. Get it right.>>18290908You're going to have contrarians who say no, if you buy thrift you're larping, etc. At some point most fashion beyond utilitarian clothing is a larp. Reality is that it's your money, no one else is buying your shit for you. As such, spend it how you like. Also many previous excellent brands in this style have declined dramatically: Brooks Brothers, Allen Edmonds, Ralph Lauren, Florsheim, etc. So if you can get clothes for cheap from the era that they were pretty much defining this style and said clothes are still in great condition, why not buy them versus spending way more money on new items that are poorly constructed, have a shit rise, have sad collars, skinny lapels, etc.The flip side to this is there are brands still making great clothes, if you like the style it's in your own best interest to buy new from them so they stay in business. I have no issue buying new from O'Connells, Spier&Mackay, Casatlantic, Natalino, J Press, Mercer, Anglo Italian,etc. Just find a balance that works for you.>>18291953>more /tip/, and a little more casual?Based on the cut and fabric, you're already dealing with a casual sport coat. Sweaters under it would look great, but wouldn't you be wearing a shirt under the sweater? Also what's wrong with button up shirts, and why not just get a casual shirt?>>18292115That's a sign to buy different color chinos. Olive or dark brown would look good.>>18293023>>2 buttonNothing wrong with 2 button. The whole point of 3/2 was to emulate the look of 2 button.>>18293862Depends on your height and weight. Japan has some cool ivy inspired brands but they're built for Asian men.If you're at all into denim though, you're pretty much in the holy land and spoiled for choice. You'll be able to get any Japanese denim much cheaper in person than you would in the US.
>>18294352I picked up Pure Blue Japan persimmon denim from the harajuku store when I was there earlier this year. This time I'm looking for blazers/sport coats, and maybe wool trousers
>>18294367>blazers/sport coats, and maybe wool trousersUnderstood. Go here:https://www.ringjacket.shop
>>18293677I had a sharp duffel coat about 10 years ago and it was so fucking sharp but now they just seem out of style
>>18293862makers shirt/kamakura plus all the denim spots
Really horrid how seemingly 90% of brands available in continental Europe don't give easy access to pants that aren't slim fit trash. Let alone high rise.
Hey guys, I need a new jacket/coat, one that is warm enough for cool weather, but not for frigid temperatures.Something for around 45 degrees Fahrenheit, or as google tells me...7.22 celsiusAny recommendations?
>>18294440Maybe you lads are a year or two behind. Most mainstream brands here have finally shifted back to straight or relaxed/baggy pants in the last few years. But for tailoring a lot are still obsessed with slim fit and "stretch" trash with little abatement.
>>18294352shoes are way too thick and clunnky, looks bad
>>18294391Thanks, I'll check them out. Looks like their model 11 is the closest to what I'm looking for
>>18294427I'm interested in a couple of their unconstructed blazers and classic cut ivy trousers, but they aren't available on the Japanese site. Last time I was there, they mentioned only some of the products overlap between the US and Japanese markets. If they aren't on the Japanese site, they won't have them in the Japanese stores. They do have the vintage ivy OCBD line, but I already have a few of those. It looks like most of their Japanese blazers and sport coats are darted, but will check them out anyway. I will probably pick up a few ties regardless though.
>>18294889What sort of shoe would you go for with that fit?
>>18290443>>18290445LL Bean is Ivy Prep core? The workwear thread spends more money on their clothes than this.
>>18295048LL Bean has a few classic fit OCBDs, some moderately high rise cotton chinos the iconic birdseye Norwegian sweater, some /tip/ jackets and coats and a handful of classic sport shirts also some camp mocs and leather moccasin slippers. They also sell a lot of stuff that isn't particularly tip.
>>18295048>Ivy Prep corebrother why do you talk like this
>>18295057I have the slippers and a bunch of flannels. I love LL Bean.
>>18295048Almost as if it's not about spending as much money as possible.>>18295061Probably ESL
>>18295061Hark! Whatds't though art wishing I had said? Hmms't?
Any place that sells decent tweed jackets for poor fags?
>>18295048>The workwear thread spends more money on their clothes than this.If you think the amount of money you spend on clothes is a 1:1 relation to quality, you're going to have a rough time here.
>>18290443Is it just me or none of this links work?
>>18295071Ebay
>>18295080But it most definitely is. Up to a point, materials and quality of craftmanship scale directly with cost. I mean, just think about it.
>>18295071Thrift
>>18294352Kill yourself you fucking retard
>>18290443Does anyone have recommendations for types of shirts or patterns that are on the more casual end of the spectrum? Sometimes when I put on a white OCBD it feels too much like a waiter or something. Similar goes for my blue OCBDs, I like my light pink shirts the most but I don't want to wear those all the time
>>18295221university stripe
Got a nice pair of herringbone wool pants, but my dick bulges against them in a super obvious way. Anyone know any similar pants that have more room in the crotch area?
>>18295125Hop on my fat Jew cock faggot>>18295101A pair of polyester pants from Lululemon costs more than a pair of cotton ones from Spier&Mackay, does that mean you should buy the polyester stretch pants?
>>18295249You might need to distribute yourself more evenly when you put on your briefs or boxer briefs.
>>18295250Depends. If you are running a 5k you want the Lululemons. Completely stupid question.
>>18295221beige taupe grey
>>18295573I tried every adjustment I could, there's no helping it anon. They're only comfortable if I wear them super low, but they're midrise. I've tried multiple sizes with no luck, even those with waists too large, They feel like they're made for eunuchs.
>>18295618Ah yes, a very relatable and common occasion, running a 5k.
>>18295250don't be disgusting.
>>18295937To be fair, running a 5k is pretty common and pretty much the baseline for fitness.Implying you should run a 5k in fucking trousers is absurd and further proof that anon has no idea what the fuck he's talking about.>Yeah these Lululemon polyester trousers cost ten times more than a pair of running shorts so they're better and you should pick them for a 5k.
>>18291491The aesthetically repulsive thing is to wear shirts that vaguely signal an interest in a musician, without having any connection to the actual culture. It doesn't contribute to an aesthetic language beyond trying to attract other people who might understand a niche (which isn't the end of the world if its not how you dress everyday).The exception is band shirts you actually bought at a concert. You're connected to the culture, and its a legitimate conversation starter if someone asks about it. The designs are normally more unique as well, as they are often limited to a specific tour and can accomplish a similar approach to the shirt you posted. I got a cure shirt from their most recent tour, and especially with layering you can pull off a decent bohemian or slacker outfit off that can be fine in certain contexts.
>>18296143When did anyone specify trousers? He said "stretchy pants"
>>18296239Ok. Run a 5k in Lululemon stretchy "pants" versus running shorts. Better?
>>18296247Okay?
>>18295937YOU brought up Lululemon, don't act like I brought up active wear. And if we get back to price to quality ratio, Lululemon is absolutely going to be better than the Aliexpress version. Of course it's not always 1:1 price to quality, but you usually do get what you pay for. You just have to be careful that what you are paying for isn't marketing.
this is probably the closest thread to ask: anyone know much about vintage sportswear or have any resources for learning more about it? even just like a list of brands to look out for? i don't have a decade in mind like anything from 50's to when quality went to shit in the late 90s or whatever. i've thrifted a bunch of random 70's stuff and i haven't found but love all the 50's and 60's stuff i've seen. just way better made.
I'm looking at buying a MTM suit for some excessively large thighs sometime in the next few months. I'm within reasonable driving distance to J. Press, Andover Shop, Drinkwaters Cambridge, Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren. Any opinions on the best option? Leaning to J. Press for not really any particual reason. Hope to spend ~1500.
The "people" who post their fits in these generals are the lowest scum of Earth. Worst than pajeets, I dare to say.
>>18296643>i have no fit and i must whine
>>18296643You're worse than them. At least they contribute, you just complain. Your opinion has no value whatsoever.
What is it specifically about these threads that attract people who turn the threads into fucking shit? Anyway, can anyone recommend a mac coat that has a similar cut as London fog? I have on from London fog but would like to look at something more substantial like a Grenfell for example.
>>18296660>coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomtributing has to be the aim of these breadsOkay moron
>>18296675>What is it specifically about these threads that attract people who turn the threads into fucking shit?Larping as rich people when you're poor and tasteless. Simple as.
>>18296591Make a weekend trip to O'Connell's Also if you are going to wear it frequently i strongly suggest getting two pairs of suit trousers to minimize wear and tea from more frequent dry cleaning/ pressing.
>>18296591Just go direct to Rochester Tailored Clothing (formerly Hickey Freeman)
I need some comfy dadcore sneakers that go with a preppy wardrobe. Already have NB 574's but I'm looking to upgrade. Considering the 2002R for now.
>>18296820Saucony jazz in an appropriate colorway for the look.Some grey NB 990s for comfort
Throw me some good collared henley suggestions that would pair well with a sweater on top. Please.
Do you have to wear black shoes with picrel? I have a pair of burgundy penny loafers that almost look black but felt like they would look weird. I am hesitant to buy black loafers because I don't think I would wear them much unless it was with black or charcoal outfits but I don't wear those often
>>18296832I think something other than black would work better especially burgundy and that goes with everything. I think black tassel loafers work great with blue jeans.
If anyone was wondering im pretty positive that O'Connell's voe true (undyed natural color) Shetlands are made by Harley of Scotland. They use the same description about the yarn and the specs are the same.Might as well just get them from Bosie for 40% less.
Also William Lockie is the only manufacturer left in Scotland making camel hair sweaters/cardigans so just get them from whoever has the best price. It doesn't even look like any of the retailers private labeling them have customized the designs at all and the price for the exact same pieces varies by hundreds of dollars depending on the shop.
Speaking of William Lockie they are probably the last good cashmere sweater manufacturer left in Scotland. Again their stuff is privated labeled and marked up considerably by many shops but surprisingly affordable if you buy fram some tiny Scottish resellers.https://clan.com/luxury-crew-neck-cashmere-sweater2ply crewneck $334
>>18296724I've been meaning to get out there anyways.>>18296738The price seems great there.
>>18296894Nevermind im wrong about this.O'Connell's sweaters are made by Laurence Odie aka LOKL also sold as Laurence J. Smith.They are however made with Jamesons yarn hence the copied description.
Old brooks Brothers burgundy sea island cotton sweater made in usa size 42 $45 shipped
>>18296970Fucking forgot the linkhttps://www.etsy.com/listing/1720038885/vintage-1980s-brooks-brothers-burgundy?
>>18294352Cab I get an ID on the pants, friend?
Do Land's End coupons stack with their sales?
These Peter Blance shaggy shetlands look fantastic. Are they sold somewhere other then Japan?https://item.rakuten.co.jp/septis/5-0762/
>>18296975Sure: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/mixed-blue-flannel---wool-cashmere---high-rise-8350-hr01
>>18297156Answering my own question the peter blance shetlands are also made by Laurence Odie aka LOKL also sold as Laurence J. Smith and shetland wollen co.The peter blance and laurence j smith shetlands are hand frame knitted, the Shetland wollen co ones appear to be the same pattern but machine made and not as heavily brushed. That said they probably use Jamesons wool for all of them.
So my conclusion after hours of Shetland autism.Buy them from O'Connell's if you want natural color Shetlands.Import peter blance from Japan if you want a super fluffy shaggy with a relatively tight neck hole.Buy from Shetland wollen co if you want the best value and don't mind if it's not hand frame knit.https://shetlandwoollen.co/collections/brushed-jumpers-1/products/haerie-shetland-brushed-jumper-1Buy from Anderson & Co if you want a hand frame knit natural color Shetland made by little old ladies in their living rooms on the Shetland isles or want to be able to order custom hem or sleeve lengths. Ironically they are also the cheapest. I didn't ask about brushing but they might offer that as well if you ask nicely and throw them an extra 20£Note the neckholes aren't as high as the ones from the Laurence Odie brands above but they aren't blow out and loose either.https://www.shetlandknitwear.com/product-category/kellister/All of the above use Jameson's yarn, well peter blance might not but it 90% likely does. Apparently yarn from JC Rennies, which Harley of Scotland uses for their dyed jumpers is softer according to some french guy with a blog.
>>18295230This is probably what I'll go for next.>>18295928These could work, but I have a feeling they might not look too good on me. No real reasoning behind it.
Got to use my fox umbrella for the first time, very comfy. Also tore an awful hole in the side of some of my nice BB trousers though and had to change :( It would be a massive LARP where I live as a man but god damn do I want to wear full height le chameau wellies in the rain rather than my bean mocs
I can't afford it but you really can't deny that the styling for Drakes is insanely good.
>>18297416>want to be able to order custom hem or sleeve lengths.Holy shit anon, thank you. It's a bitch finding Shetlands with long enough arms, this is literally perfect for me. You have no idea how happy this makes me.>>18299210Drake's lookbooks are god tier for inspo, if you're creative you can replicate most of the outfits with pieces from other brands as well
>>18299235Send em an email, and be polite to the nice Scottish lady.They had me specify length from back collar to hem and sleeve length from center back collar to end of sleeve.Took them about two weeks to finish once i ordered. Might be a bit longer now with the holidays approaching.They basically call up a local knitter when you order, the knitter comes into their shop and gets the yarn and specs and then makes it at their house, then brings it in to the shop for their commission. It's the way things used to be done and truly a dying art.Luckily the knitters homes don't reek of smoked herring like they used to.
Finally wearing something remotely fall
>>18299235Very nice textures. Moleskin pants?
Full strap or no for the pennys?
>>18299568No
>>18299443>Moleskin pants?Good eye. Moleskin from Peter Christian.
>>18299210Is that fold on the trousers permanent or simply ironed into it after ever wash? What are these pant types called? There is no pleat visible and some are described as "flat front " on the site. So how does the fold happen without a pleat?
>>18299950Pic rel.
>>18299950>>18299951Pressing/ironing
>>18299951It's called a crease. Easier to do with a pleat since you always line up on the pleat. Drycleaners do it by pressing, you can do it at home with an iron. A little spray starch on the crease helps it set, I only use it for cotton trousers though.Certain brands have more permanent creases, I have several pairs from Spier and Mackay with nice, sharp permanent creases, I'm not sure how they do it but I'm assuming there's some sort of glue or stitching inside the pants since you can't see anything on the surface.
>>18300037So there is no way of knowing with certainty that trousers will retain a crease just from judging online pictures? I suppose its easy to pay a premium for this style only to find out it goes away after putting it in the washing machine. For example, pic rel says its a flat front trouser, yet it has a crease. But nothing in the description indicates to me how it gets there or how permanent it is. I suppose, how can I ensure a trouser retains this aesthetic when buying in person or online? Anything to look for in the material, stitching?Btw, anyone know the brand in the pic?
>>18300101>I suppose, how can I ensure a trouser retains this aesthetic when buying in person or online? Anything to look for in the material, stitching?You're overthinking it slightly, literally 30 seconds with an iron and you can crease your trousers at home.
>>18300106I tried, but the chinos I own don't fold that way. The cut simply is different and doesn't ensure the same aesthetic.
>>18300138Interesting. Are they a skinny cut? Are they cotton or a blend? I've never had a pair that I couldn't crease
>>18300187Thick cotton. Probably a skill issue. But I also think the way the seams align also has an influence.https://www.hessnatur.com/de/chino-lenn-regular-aus-bio-baumwolle/p/5646917?queryID=a49aec389948a6d577e1a50b9130874f&objectID=id_56469173832&indexName=hna-product-de-de-styleCode
>>18300101Flat front refers to the absence of pleats. It has nothing to do with a crease. Cotton will not hold a crease well. The heavier and thicker the fabric the more difficult it will be to hold a crease
>>18300218>Cotton will not hold a crease well. The heavier and thicker the fabric the more difficult it will be to hold a creaseHow can you speak so confidently and be so wrong? My moleskin trousers have a crease, my heavyweight chinos have a crease, my flannel trousers (not cotton, wool. But still heavy) have a crease. It's not that hard to make a crease that lasts all day and just needs to be touched up when you wear it again

Any of you fags actually go to HYP?
just ordered this coat, second handits hugo, looks really well preserved, 90% virgin wool 10 % cashmire, it doesnt look that old and it doesn't look like its been worn a loti never had a coat before so what am i in for?
>>18300660dry cleaning is expensive and its a bitch to pack.Looks good tho nice snag
>>18300668ThanksIs dry cleaning mandatory and what fo you get out of it?Also how old do you reckon this coat is?
>>18300696mandatory if you get it dirty.probably 2018-2019 by the looks of it, just general off the rack mall stuff.
>>18300701thanks, i think i'm gonna love itits hard to find a new coat thats not slim fit and that's not short so im happy with this one
>>18300713I was gonna say the arms look narrow but if that's what you were looking for from the start it should be perfect. I like the cut of it, enjoy it and avoid sticky materials. most things you can brush off and go about your day.
>>18300756Damn, i just noticed how narrow the sleeves are. Hopefully it wont be as noticable when i put it on.Is that some current thing?
bros, where do I find /tip/ wide fit corduroy trousers?
>>18300756Btw i was going for this. Also kinda has narrow sleevesIts similar, no?
>>18300889I got RL prepster cords W40 they are really really wide and look and feel great
>>18300889Peter Christian, Cordings, Todd SynderThe size chart for Cordings is way the fuck off, when you look at the rise you'll think holy shit this is low, turns out they measure the rise to the bottom of the waist band not the top. So the actual rise comes out to 12 inches on a 36.l
>>18300925Fuck forgot Spier and Mackay, they're great too.I think Peter Christian is a better value than the others. 13 inch rise, good thickness to the wale, fantastic cut that's not skinny but has a nice clean taper to it,tons of colors and under $100.
>>18300929>nice clean taperI don't want any taper bro. I want the GIANT fit that j.crew offers for their chinos
>>18299568Not for a first pair. I quite like a full strap in Colour 8 Cordovan, though.
>>18300660ngl this is the most boring coat I've ever seen. it's not crappy, it being Hugo probably makes it worse. A crappy coat is at least funny in a way, althought closer to scrap than to anything wearable. This is normie core.
>>18300892Gluttony isn't /tip/
Where do I find trousers with a 31" waist, 33" inseam, 12-13" rise and 13-14" thighs?
>>18301261The 31 waist and 33 inseam are the hard part, most trousers come in even numbers for each. Would you be willing to have a pair taken in at a tailor?For instance:https://www.peterchristianoutfitters.com/sand-flat-front-chinos/For a 32: 13 inch rise, 25 inch thighs, inseam of 34.
>>18301258im 6ft6 tall so W40 isn't that bad

Does anyone know the brand Oscar Robinson? Specifically their trousers?
>>18301696Correction. Oscar Jacobson.
>>18301285I've tried having a tailor take them in, but the proportions are end up looking of when removing 3" from the inseam, which is usually what I must for trousers that fit well in the thighs. Those 25" (12.5") are snugger than I like. I guess I'll have to cope with mtm
>>18301699Stay awayt. scandi
>>18301728Why?
>>18302047Straight pants and closed collar are not flattering for you.
>>18302047Looks comfy but not really tip. If you want to be more tip get pants that are less wide, tuck your shirt in, and wear your sweater properly. Also lose the tote for a briefcase or messenger bag.

Help me /tip/I have been using a backpack to take my shit to work and it has to go, it looks like something i had from college (it is)What kind of soft briefcases should i be looking at that i can shove a few water bottles a sweater and some papers in? A separate smaller pocket for sunglasses etc would be ideal. Or a messenger bag that doesn't look like something a guy on a bike would use?I don't want something formal but I look like an idiot carrying a backpack.
>>18301728Elaborate.
>>18302329A functional backpack out performes a briefcase. More functional. Doesn't mess with your shoulder. Just get a backpack. Unironically, a hiking pack with hip belt (some models you can remove them) is my recommendation. If it does not fit with your work aesthetic because the materials clash or something, I feel like it should not need to. Functionality for things meant for carrying comes over style I think. A breifcase is just not ergonomic. There hiking packs in muted colours and twill fabric too. Get one with thick, wide straps which help eliminate wrinckles in ironed shirts better than thin ones.
>>18302509nta but I've been using a backpack to commute to work for years and it causes piling on the lower back area due to rubbing when walking, even on other stuff that doesn't pill I can see light discoloration around that area. So that's one reason to use a briefcase.
>>18302516Does it have a hip belt? They reduce movement and friction.
>>18302329Despite what the anon said above about losing the tote bag, I think a tote bag is the perfect tip middle ground. Backpacks typically just don't fit the vibe and often a briefcase makes you look like a larper unless you're wearing a super nice suit with it. A tote from O'Connells, your nescac school, or a boat-and-tote is the perfect in-between.That being said a well-worn LL-Bean backpack will be about as prep as you can get.I do think there's an interesting argument to be made that given the origins of prep as a borderline "active lifestyle" dresscode modern "high label" activewear such as patagonia as a place in prep, provided it's a single piece here and there. Technical fabrics are really really good and I imagine that most people whole are from the same distribution as the original preppies use those brands when they're pursuing activities these days.I personally have a large boat-and-tote I carry my textbooks in and a smaller tote from a local co-op I use for my notebooks and laptop.
>>18302586No, it's a more minimalist design and not a hiking backpack.
So i should get something like this LL Bean tote bag?https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/117935?
Why are the japanese so perfect at this style (pics i believe from popeye magazine)
>>18302770If you're gonna go LL Bean just get the regular boat n tote or nor'easter
>>18303075>Why are the japanese so perfect at this styleThey made it up
>>18303075
>>18299210so I'm the only one that absolutely hates how those stupid little hats look?
>>18302329Maybe you could get a convertible tote like Osprey Daylite Tote in black or "tan concrete" (only normal colors)The backpack straps tuck away so you could use it in backpack mode on the days you feel more fragile about your masculinityLeather bag held in the hand kinda screams "menswear enthusiast" to me, so the above plastic tote blends in a bit more
Totes are supremely gay, I don't know how someone with balls and a dick could willingly go out in public with one. Just get a messenger bag, please.
>>18296914Very nice ty

Hi lads,Anyone know of any good trouser recommendations that have the pleat/folds below the waistline like pic related?I know it's a standard for older pant styles but I don't know the exact term for it (nor do I know of any brands that sell these garments).

Beige and olive chinos. Now what?
>>18304058If you want more chinos then british khakiIf you want something different then corduroy trousers, wool flannel trousers, tweed trousers also linen or linen / cotton blend trousers for hot weather.
>>18290443How do I get access to last thread?
>>18303646Anon, I was an infantryman in the early 2000s (had to be a good jew and do my time as a zogbot). Not sure what country you're joining up in but you get uniforms and you won't be spending much time in civilian clothes. The other soldiers are 100% going to fuck with you if you try and dress /tip, especially if you're in combat arms. Not saying it can't be done but your best bet is to keep it simple and basically get elevated versions of what guys around you are wearing. Raw denim that fits well, a couple pairs of well made chinos, a couple plain oxfords, a few good polos, etc. You're not going to be wearing a sport coat when you go out to the bar. Don't over complicate things for yourself.>>18304058I don't know what you already have but if you're starting from scratch:A darker brown pair of chinos, maybe with some burnt orange undertonesMedium grey wool trousersMoleskin trousers. I don't know why moleskin isn't mentioned often here, they feel like velvet and are amazing for cold weather without making you get overheated. Earthtones are most versatile.Wool flannel trousersCorduroy trousers, great way to add texture and visual interest to your fit. Try relaxed fit wide wale and slimmer fit needlecord depending on what look you're going for. If your other trousers are grey and earthtone, you can mix it up here and add some color. Maroon, golden yellow, burnt orange, wine, etc. I just bought a pair of emerald green and imperial purple corduroy trousers, looking forward to wearing them now that its colder.OG107 fatigues or Baker PantsSome form of patterned wool trouser. Birdseye, houndstooth, herringbone,tweed, etcWhat kind of shirts do you have?
>>18304093>>What kind of shirts do you have?Thanks for the recs. I have a blue university stripe, grey university stripe, white, light blue, navy gingham ocbd's and a few flannels.
>>18304121Grab a green stripe and a khaki/brown/tan stripe and you'll be good to go with the recs I posted. Don't sleep on tattersall either.
>>18300992Thanks it'll be a nice Christmas gift to myself
>>18302329I respectfully disagree with the above posters, I recommend a briefcase or messenger from Swaine Adeney Brigg.
Bros, how do I avoid getting clammy while wearing barbour jacket? I miss goretex desu.
>>18304093Thanks pimp. I’m going into the US Air Force as a Fusion Analyst.
>>18304351you're gonna be writing a lot of reports, if your recruiter couldn't give you a good rundown of what the job is. The linguists and network analysts are expected to be able to do your job but you won't have the same expectation to know theirs also.
>>18304351You choose a good job, don't fail out of tech school. I'm a former all-source analyst, I do cooler (and more fun) stuff now. You'll have lots of good networking opportunities once you start doing your actual job, don't blow them. Be an affable and likeable person and you can set yourself up for a solid career in our field if that's what you want. Hope you get a good duty station and not Ft. Meade or Ft. Gordon. Don't fuck up.

>>18304766Did you get full ride? My second cousin chose full ride UCLA over Stanford. My family is moving up - I was a community college transfer to UCSD.>>18304631Is it true the USAF has the least stupid people of all US Military branches? I used to surf in Oxnard and all the subhuman turds in the navy were a sight to see in person; truly the shit of the US dumped in one area.
>>18300890nice picture you fucking goober
>>18290443Yo
>>18304883I cant find the picture now but one of them had a sweater with a chest pocket that I still want.
You guys ARE wearing your vintage RL american flag sweaters today right?
>>18304808Lol I grew up surfing just south of you at places like county and all the other breaks in the bu, my dad always told stories about non-locals of tires getting slashed at the strand. Surfed there a few times with no issue. We must have grown up and/or lived relatively close to each other. Left the area in 2019 to do what I do now and wish I could go back, I still do every year or so for vacation. Oxnard is a shit place in general, it's not just the navy folks that make the area dumpy, but you would know that. Having worked with every single branch, I would say the Space Force folks are the most intelligent and most laid-back, but they're still under the department of the department of the Air Force. Generally I've found it to be true the Air Force has the least stupid people, but 90% of all enlisted members are of average intelligence so it's not like one is surrounded by super competent people. Like every branch, the smarter folks cluster in intelligence, cyber, and other ISR related career fields. Officers are of a superior breed 98% of the time regardless of branch when compared to enlisted. NAS Mugu is a big base for weapons testing, so while I'm sure there are some smart people doing testing, planning, integration, and evaluation, the vast majority of people stationed there are in some kind of maintenance related career field (dullards) or equipment operators (also dullards). Sprinkle in a few pilots and engineers as well, but that's a very small minority. The Navy is also the fattest branch of the military and woefully mismanaged (more than most other branches) so their personnel are generally philistine and gauche.

Daily reminder to stop larping.
>>18306779Well the standard for suits is drop 6 (6 inches larger jacket chest than pant waist) but i dont know about jacket waist. Certainly a few inches more for mobility.

Need people to talk me out of an impulse purchase or tell me when to actually jump on a deal. Found a BB MiUSA suit in exactly my size, fit so close it wouldn't require much in way of alterations, for $40. Problem is, I have a (grey) suit already, and I don't really wear suits. Just feels like it's something I'm *supposed* to have so I'm tempted.
>>18308880That does sound like a very rare find and a great deal. I'd feel tempted to buy it too, especially if it's in a versatile color. But if you think about it, there's probably someone else like you out there who would actually get a lot more use out of it. So if you're not really a suit wearer, just let it go rather than hoarding it in your closet.

>>18311108That's a lovely colorWhat's the right way to buy an overcoat? I've never had one before. I'm a scrawny manlet, so if I'm buying sight unseen over the internet, I usually just get the smallest size and it works out fine. But I'm worried if I get it too small, I won't be able to layer properly.

>>18311251they are typically made with that in mind, so all things being equal it would work out.
