Is trifting for /tip/ stuff /tip/?
Or do i have to spend 150 bucks for a sweater?
>>
>>18290908
Is 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?

Talking about music is stupid and gay

Thats 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
>>18291283
this 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.

that 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.

Is this blazer slightly too long?
>>
>>18292694
In 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.

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.
>>
>>18293314
LL 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-olive
Below $150 the chinos from warehouse co, workers japan officer trousers or the buzz rickson original spec chinos would all be a good choice.
>>
>>18293341
Also 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.

>Stop larping. You're either a balding lonely nerd or a psychopath. Stop larping.

No. Also I'm bald, not balding. Get it right.

>>18290908
You'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?
>>18292115
That's a sign to buy different color chinos. Olive or dark brown would look good.
>>18293023
>>2 button
Nothing wrong with 2 button. The whole point of 3/2 was to emulate the look of 2 button.

>>18293862
Depends 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.

Maybe 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.

I'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.

>>18291491
The 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.

>>18295937
YOU 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.

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.

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.

These Peter Blance shaggy shetlands look fantastic. Are they sold somewhere other then Japan?
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/septis/5-0762/

Sure: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/mixed-blue-flannel---wool-cashmere---high-rise-8350-hr01
>>
>>18297156
Answering 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-1
Buy 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.

Send 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.

Is 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?

Pressing/ironing
>>
>>18299951
It'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.

So 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.
>>
>>18300106
I tried, but the chinos I own don't fold that way. The cut simply is different and doesn't ensure the same aesthetic.
>>
>>18300138
Interesting. Are they a skinny cut? Are they cotton or a blend? I've never had a pair that I couldn't crease
>>
>>18300187
Thick cotton. Probably a skill issue. But I also think the way the seams align also has an influence.

>>
>>18300101
Flat 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 crease

How 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

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.
>>
>>18301728
Elaborate.
>>
>>18302329
A 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.
>>
>>18302509
nta 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.
>>
>>18302516
Does it have a hip belt? They reduce movement and friction.

Despite 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.

No, it's a more minimalist design and not a hiking backpack.

Maybe you could get a convertible tote like Osprey Daylite Tote in black or "tan concrete" (only normal colors)

Anon, 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.

>>18304058
I 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 undertones
Medium grey wool trousers
Moleskin 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 trousers
Corduroy 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 Pants
Some form of patterned wool trouser. Birdseye, houndstooth, herringbone,tweed, etc

Lol 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.

Are you the same anon who recommended the made in Macau Polo jacket a few threads back? Haha I picked one up myself based on your recommendation. Just got it back from the tailor today. Love it. Appreciate your high quality posts in these threads.

Yep. Modern Polo is shit, but the Macau era was pretty good due to the work Cornelia was doing for them, the 3/2 cord coats are great. Surprisingly heavy as well.

Well 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.

>>18306812
It's not a Cartier you fucking retard. It's most probably an Elgin.
>>
>>18306401
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT PIPE
>>
>>18306908
It’s an extremely rare (likely the rarest) model of the Cartier Tank you have likely never heard of because only three were ever made of them.

It literally is the same watch because both pictures are taken from Gable on the set of Red Dust. Quit coping because you were too pleb to know about the most obscure Tank ever made. I wonder who the other two buyers of that tank model were?

What are some good British brands to follow? So far I've got:
>Drake's
>Barbour
>English shoemakers like C&J, Trickers, etc
>Shetland producers
>Burberry makes awful streetwear but nice scarves and trench coats

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.
>>
>>18308880
That 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.

This sweater is apex tier knitwear
You never see 14nm geelong lambswool used for anything but the daintiest 1 ply jumpers.
This thing is 10 ply on the front (6 ply on the back and sleeves so you can still wear a jacket over it)

>are sweaters from Aran Crafts actually decent?
They are okay but you can definitely do better, what kid of sweaters are you looking for?
Cable knit? Thin jumpers? Brushed Shetlands?
Westaway & westaway has some great prices
Most of their private label stuff is made by willam locke

They also don't charge VAT if you buy from overseas

The stores you mentioned are good
Hankyu Men's
Isetan
Matsuya
United Arrows
Papa's
Brooks Brothers Japan is is different, check them out
Paul Stewart
Scotch Grain
Hinoya and Amerikaya 510 in Ameyoko for denim, workwear and Ametora
In general the following neighborhoods/shopping districts: Ginza/Yurakucho
Marunouchi
Shinjuku - it's huge, have a plan of what stores to hit. Isetan is a must
Daikanyama - maybe, a little hipsterish.
Koenji and Shimokitazawa for second hand shops, though you aren't interested
All the above are in Tokyo, I am unfamiliar with Osaka but order online from a store there called Trad House Fukusumi which is 100% /tip/. If you go to Osaka I highly recommend it. Their only website is on Rakuten

in the waist, too tight and judging by the zipper/crotch they look pulled too high for the inseam.
the cuff is also a bad choice seeing how it's just a single roll and since your are standing you should be able to see plenty of sock with normal movement and sitting down if you didn't have the cuff. it might work better if the pants were slightly longer and it was a double cuff up.
basically, i know you think they look good but your silhouette looks like a dude with joggers on

Awesome! I have that exact same MHL duffle coat.

Getting my first wool overcoat, what color should I get: charcoal, navy or black?
I'll eventually get a prince of wales gray but I don't think I should get that first.
I'm generally going to be wearing it with a suit in those colors if that matters at all
>>
>>18310951
Charcoal would probably be the most versatile

bros it's finally cold enough that i can wear this sweater my mom made for me again. she's almost done making me a quarter zip though there's no pattern since this took her like 4-5 months to make
>>
>>18311108
That's a lovely color

What'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.

If you have to ask…
>>
>>18311251
they are typically made with that in mind, so all things being equal it would work out. It seems like you're lucky in that regard, everything I order off the internet is wildly different and mostly doesn't fit. Every time I order a medium shirt it's too tight, every time I order a large it's too big. Life is hell. I think I'm just going to try to find a tailor and get everything custom.
