cop or not?
Where to get the peak effay suit without polyesther lining?
>>18344543Canali with bemberg lining
Polyester sleeve lining >>> bremberg / cuproEnjoy your lining shrinking by two sizes if you ever get caught in the rain
>>18344543What's up with NPCs and their drive to mention polyester in EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. every single day? Is it the algorithm literally forcing these npcs to post this? Their synthetic brains hooked to tiktok directly have any real cognition at this point?
Reference from the other thread: is it true that white collar people shouldn’t wear blue? I remember my dad said something similar to me when I was young. But I always assumed this was an outdated oldtimey rule
>>18344836This sounds like something a blue collar boomer prole would say
>>18344836I worked in a conservative investment firm and everyone wore blue shirts and red ties almost every day. It was like an unofficial dress code.
>>18344902tbs I also worked in venture capital firm and we wore white, except fridays we wore jeans it was an unofficial dress code. Bottom line is every place is different, but there is usually some secret tongue-in-cheek dress code that you follow
>>18344836It's an oldschool rule. If you follow "no brown in town" (in the city/office only black or colored leather, brown leather in the countryside) you might follow this rule as well. But it's 2024, nobody cares about any of these rules anymore anyway.
>>18344836Im not white collar myself. But its pretty easy to disprove that by just visiting or walking by any office that employs white collar workers. Half of them will be wearing white and the other half will be wearing light blue. Or even just watching TV and seeing them on the news.
>>18344814I've been avoiding plastic for like a decade now. Why are you so autistic about this subject? Every thread you sperg out any time someone mentions natural fibers. Do you work in the petroleum industry or something? Don't worry, a few dozen /tip/ posters refusing to buy garbage plastic clothing isn't going to put you out of a job. Now STFU about it.
>>18345451That‘s why I said "oldschool". Really old. Nobody cares abour brown leather or blue shirts nowadays
>>18343927Okay. Call me when they make chinos with >12" of rise. Anyways, I just copied everything all the fits from their catalogue to do as little thinking as possible. Their website has a guy wearing those pants and a button up, guess that's what I'm wearing.
Where can I get polos made of 100% cotton that are longer in the torso? I'm 6'2" and most polos are simply too short. I've gotten lucky with Banana Republic's M Long sizes but those leave a lot to be desired when it comes to quality
>>18345649Every modern big name manufacturer today is making clothes for deformed blobs that have the rough outline of a human if you squint hard enough. If you find a company making polos for normal male height and normal male weight, please get back to us. Everything is made for fat manlets these days.
>>18345654It's just too bad nothing is made that just fits. I can get larges but they need to be tailored. I can get medium and it fits but is too short
>>18344814isn't it good that NPCs are walking up to the facts of how dogshit polyester (PVA) is? PVA blends are built for the underclass.
Since my Bosie shetlands are way too long, I gambled and tried shrinking them. I turned them inside out and put them each in a delicates bag and washed them on the cold delicate cycle. I then dried them on the delicate cycle still in the bags. Worked out surprisingly well. They lost about two inches in length and had the unintended benefit of tightening up the neck hole a bit. Overall very pleased.
Are GH Bass any good? I just want some nice beater loafers and they're cheap enough to not care and get autistic about them
Anyone own a Shaggy Dog sweater from J Press? I went to Cornell so I'm thinking of getting this red one but I don't know if they're scratchy or anything
>>18345699No, more competition for the good stuff
>>18345852roll the dice, order it and try it on
>>18345891Zero sum thinking like an absolute moron
>>18345908Vintage supplies are hardly elastic
>>18345649I see that Luxire sells (expensive) polos - wonder if they'd let you customize the length (normally this is done by e-mailing them after placing your order). Though going MTM for polos is crazy, but maybe you're radicalized enough>>18345839Been meaning to do this but with stretching the sleeves on my Jamieson's shetland. I also see that Simon from Permanent Style screws with the shrinking/stretching like this too and has articles about it
This might be the wrong thread, but the sweater blazer in picrel looks so cozy. The only place I can find one for less than a few thousand bucks is alibaba. Are they that niche that it really is so difficult to find them?
Girlfriend (has a trust fund) got me a hardcover copy of the preppy handbook for christmas :D
>>18346444Why isn't she your wife?
>>18346182Please just get a shawl cardigan
>>18346472No. I don’t like shawl collars
Effay approved jewlery vendors? I basically only know 3 categories:- cheap fashion crap, which I never want to buy- "luxury" fashion brands, pretty sure LV necklaces are not effay approved and I thankfully never fell for their trinkets- the "classics" like the tiffany heart or the van cleef thing.There probably is a 4th category of stuff that is solid but not overpaying for the brand name, I imagine?
>>18346182>sweater blazerThat's a jacket, meant to be something like a db harrington, with elasticated waist & cuffs
>>18346182That's absolutely heinous.
>>18346182kill yourself
>>18346533That's a bit harsh innit
>>18345852I dont have a shaggy dog but i do have some good quality shetlands. They are softer than cheaper ones but still scratchy on bare skin. Theyre supposed to be worn with collared shirts underneath.
are uniqlo OBCDs decent? I could buy vintage but shipping on ebay is like half the price of what i'd pay for a shirt and there's not much choice in eastern europe
>>18344270Why so fucking low rise
>>18346491Local reputable jewelers will sell the good stuff
Plz recommend good venues or social events to enjoy the company of upper-class young ladies =) All the equestrian centers around here are filled with 10 year olds, and the country clubs are packed with dumb boomers and puffer-vest wearing finance bros with horrible taste and nothing interesting to say. Help a nigga out!
Any good after Christmas sales? I need more pants and shirts
>>18348064>upper-class young ladies>equestrian centers>Help a nigga out!
Im going to pick up a pair of rancourt penny loafers on their current 30% sale. Then i saw quoddy has 25% off on stock models. I'm trying to decide if i should grab some canoe shoes while im at it.
>>18348064Target
>>18344270Thoughts on this coat? I want to wear it with jeans.
>>18348064If you're in the US having a horse is no longer a signifiger of wealth. Neoliberalism is so fucking awesome and made everyone so rich it's now affordable to large parts of the middle class. You'll only find little girls there.
>>18348331Nice

Where is the guy who comes from the old money gazillionare family and went to Bowdoin and prepped at Exeter?Keep doing the bit https://x.com/i/status/1864784662062633009
>>18348341Eh, more like upper middle class or petty bourgeois. You still need to own some rural land or pay an organization fee to let your little girl ride horses.
Does /tip/ like Fred Perry?
>>18348835there are much better options and no real attachment to the brand like the english subculture scene has
Down to one pair of jeans and thinking about getting a second. The one pair I own are Sid Mashburn and I get a lot of compliments on them so will probably just stick with a second pair but curious what else people are liking these days.
I've been considering what I'd like to wear daily and arrive at a sort of daily uniform and it's really hard to beat t-shirts, no matter how much I try. Ideally, something with a higher neck or neck detail since it always looks much more dressed. I'm so disappointed. Buildings are too fucking hot everywhere and I'm sick of it.>ShirtsRobust, stiff, not really a good option for a less average body shape, and I don't want MTM options. I was hoping I'd find a nice RTW like Drake's, but they really don't fit muscular proportions well at all unless I just accept the tight shoulders and large neck holes compared to chest sizes.>Shetlands/Lambswool SweatersRobust, stretchy, almost perfect but too fucking hot thanks to every building in the 21st century being overheated.>Knit PolosNot robust, stretchy, but the only decent alternative to a shirt. Can't get something nice like Smedley since it can rip so easily, so looks like a life of sexcore tier merino shit. This is horrible.
>>18348113Do you by chance know how Quoddy and Rancourt compare in size? I'm very tempted by a pair of Rancourt boots but I don't want to print something out to measure my foot with only to have it be wrong when they actually get to me 12 weeks from now. My Quoddy bluchers are my daily shoe when there's not snow on the ground.
>>18349326>not really a good option for a less average body shape, and I don't want MTM options.Why not? E.g. Suitsupply does this pretty affordable>>Shetlands/Lambswool Sweaters>Robust, stretchy, almost perfect but too fucking hot thanks to every building in the 21st century being overheated.Take the cotton pill anon. 100% cotton knitwear. Even the Amazon Basics one is that now.
>>18349340>Take the cotton pill anon. 100% cotton knitwear. Even the Amazon Basics one is that now.what about cotton fleece or french terry?
>>18344270I tried on a black rugby shirt with a white collar at J Crew and it really did something for me BUT the bottom was way too loose. Where else can I find a decent rugby shirt? I mean what brands to look for.I'm working on a college student budget, so I can't spend much. I'm going to get something secondhand from eBay.
>>18345264I don't even think "no brown in town" was applicable in America in the 20th century anyway. Is this correct?
>>18346444Nice.>>18346491I guess the 4th category would be local handmade sort of stuff. Maybe etsy if you avoid the junk.
>>18349326T shirts are terrible in heat compared to lightweight linen, seersucker, or madras. Its a fucking knit fabric.
>>18349338they fit about the same like most non-sneaker brands
>>18345843Yeah they're beater loafers and also the go-to. Personally I go for sperries as after some oiling they're pretty much immediately broken in.
Is it my own ignorance or is buying high quality stuff looking really bleak nowadays. Literally every industry is hollowed out by low quality crap?
>>18349773You couldn't even buy Oxfords or stitched belts in brown or cognac back in the day. Brown leather was exclusively for hiking boots and outdoorsy stuff. Kind of bewildering how many people just see any suit at all and immediately think "business" and how recently things were differentIt's not even a secret upper class code or something. Common people just knew this. But breaking with old rules and the casualization in apparel is so popular with everyone and every demographic like almost no other topic. Imagine getting 95% of americans to agree on anything at all
>>18349880So an 11 in Quoddy should translate into an 11 in Rancourt then? Sometimes I think the fancy measurement systems are just bullshit to make things look more sophisticated than they really are.
>>18344270From the thumbnail I thought these guys had giant anime swords shooped onto them. Instead it was just gayfag shit
Can anyone help me find jeans and chinos with a truly straight leg for guys with a bigger waist? I’ve gained some weight, okay a lot of weight, it sucks but I still want to look decent. I can’t wear sweatpants everywhere. Every “straight leg” I try ends up looking tapered or slim so my silhouette looks terrible. Recommend me some stuff with a straight or classic fit that is truly straight.
>>18350657For chinos just get made to measure from Suitsupply. You can type in any measurements. Might be a little more expensive but saves a lot of time
>>18350657go for a run, lardass
>>18350657The officers chinos from bronson. Truly straight leg. Available up to a 38" waist.MAKE SURE TO LOOK AT THE MEASUREMENT CHART AND COMPARE TO PANTS YOU ALREADY OWN.don't just buy your typical tagged waist size as the sizing can vary.https://bronsonshop.com/products/1944-usmc-officer-trousers-khaki?option1=Olive&option2=W29
>>18351472would be nice if it came with adult size inseams
>>18350540in my experience as long as the shoe is similar their sizing is similar. also, the fancy measurement system exists because most people:>can't figure out their actual shoe size (including width) and are either wearing a size too big or smalland>most people only wear sneakers and have no idea what a dressier shoe should fit or what the size difference between a nike/adidas/converse to a quoddy-like brandalso, it's not fancy it's just a diy brannock device>>18350657you probably don't want straight, go for relaxed if you are truly a fatty
is picrel considered trad/ivy/prep? I'm looking for something like picrel, kinda preppy loungewear. I guess I also like the sweater itself, what is it called? polo sweater, collared sweater? I like the overall silhouette/look of the pic, I personally find overcoats and whatnot to be a bit ostentatious for my taste, but it works well on others
>>18351852quarter-zip cardigan
>>18351878not even a cardigan just a quarter-zip
>>18351885>what is that object? >>it's an (adjective)no anon, you need a noun. "quarter-zip" is a adjective, it's a quarter-zip of what? a quarter-zip car? a quarter-zip handbag? it's a quarter-zip cardigan.
>>18351891smartass fag. google "what is a cardigan" and get back to me with your correction
>>18351878>>18351885Thanks. so if the quarter zip were to be paired with chinos or some other pant, would this be considered tip? or “old money” as the zoomers are calling it? is there a lookbook for subtle tip?
>>18351936The "old money" thing doesn't exist. It's a fast fashion fad.Quater zips are not part of a classic mens wardrobe. If that's what you're asking.They can look nice tho. Just wear it bro, why do you care if the imagined demographic that an online fad aspires to likes it?
I just watched Re-Animator and the main antagonist (or was he, I don’t know), Herbert West, for most of the film was wearing a pale blue or a white oxford shirt with a black narrow tie, black slacks and I suppose black oxfords with brown soles and I don’t know if the clothes were cut differently back then, or was everyone just slim back then, but there’s just something nonchalant and casual how he’s wearing it. Why is it that if I were to wear the same outfit I would look like a mormon but he looks very casual? Sorry for the poor image quality, it’s a screenshot from youtube.
>>18351852Just replace the t-shirt with an ocbd or polo, the quarter-zip with a shetland, the joggers with chinos and the trainers with loafers
Ordered some rancourt loafers and they shipped right away. This makes me suspicious that they are a returned pair or something since their leadtime is usually a month or two.Then again i ordered the most popular color of probably their most popular loafer so it's not that unrealistic that they would have some pairs around.Wish me luck
>>18351852>is picrel considered trad/ivy/prep?yea
>>18352630which one? sorry, I'm not quite sure what the diff is between trad/ivy/prep, if any
Looking for a wool hooded parka with smarter styling without the ubiquitous puffer look. Found this from Spier Mackay which looks great but I've never ordered from them before, I live in the UK. How is their sizing? I am normally S (5'8") in American brands (Ralph Lauren, Gant) but it might come up long. Is the parka going to be as good as it looks? I am concerned about the breathability of the polyester lining, and whether it is going to make the synthetic rustle noise while moving in it. I will likely have to remove the faux fur for smarter wear.
>>18352127>I don’t know if the clothes were cut differently back then, or was everyone just slim back thenYes and yes. Do not buy anything labeled "slim-fit" even if you are slim. Most clothes today are made with less fabric to save money resulting in cuts that don't look aesthetically pleasing on the body. If you have an average build, you should generally be safe with clothes from J. Press and O'Connells. You'll also need pants with a mid to high rise if you are tucking your shirt in. Land's End Trad Fit chinos are my favorite option for casual pants.
>>18353060I'm 5'7 and find their short-sized and XS jackets & coats to fit well. S is too long for me but maybe your extra inch would make it work. Lining shouldnt make rustling since its a different kind of fabric than noisy outer shells. But I probably wouldnt buy it if you just want to remove the fur. Maybe look if they have something similar without fur or try a duffle coat instead.
>>18352817>prep
Sweaters make me look fat because they have way too much excess fabric at the waist. Is it possible to get them altered to cinch more?
>>18353877I have the same damn problem with sweaters. If you look at vintage ads a lot of time they were cut baggy in the chest but with shorter lengths and tighter hems, because they knew that was a more appealing shape. Not a potato sack over your torso. I've heard Rubato is good and I like the look but they're too expensive for me honestly. I mainly have vintage sweaters and havent figured out a goto for new ones.
Any good January sales?
What's the deal with leather soles on shoes? I'm completely new at this and now that I've spent a bit on well fitting shoes, I'm wondering how bad it is for them to walk in the snow or rain. Am I just not supposed to wear these AT ALL if the sidewalk is wet? Will snow destroy them? Are we expected to just hover unless we are indoors when wearing leather soles? Not getting a "top" or whatever the hell, they look faggy as fuck and at that point I'd just get rubber soled shoes
>>18354235No worries in light rain, but you need to show some care to dry them properly if you're unlucky with the weather Use galoshes when you know it will rainJust get dainite soles if you live somewhere where it rains and snows a lot
>>18353877Yes. For any wool sweater, you can wash it and then block it on a table and adjust to your size as it dries. I'm not a pro at this by any means, so it took me around 2 or 3 days of drying in my basement for each wool sweater. I don't have any fit pics, but just google stuff around these lines like "blocking" a sweater and you'll find good info.
>>18344270What fragrances does /tip/ like?
>>18354345encre noire. I use it faintly, it's super strong and wish it came in a diluted form and I didn't have to be so careful.
>>18354235I dont know who lead you to believe leather soles are that dainty. Theyre only slippery when theyre brand-new. After a couple days of walking on concrete they'll be roughed-up enough to have traction. Ive never had an issue walking on wet or snowy streets in dress shoes. The only time i feel rubber soles are necessary is if im hiking.
>>18354251>galoshesultimate 'tismRather wear boots and carry my loafers in my laptop bag. >>18354426>I dont know who lead you to believe leather soles are that dainty.To be blunt, the statements seem to come from poorfags on the internet that cry if they scuff their $900 shoes, since they can't really afford them. I can't afford them either if I have to replace them every two or three years. A resole every 2 years seems fair, and I'd take that, but so far I'm led to believe that if you walk from your car to the office in leather soled Aldens, and there is snow outside, you'll tear through your shoes like butter and the sole will be gone in a few months, along with the entire shoe being irrecoverable. I'm not sure if the truth lies in between or close to one of these cases, but I just want more information so I can plan accordingly. If it is the case that rain or snow for a few minutes once a week will destroy these shoes, I'll have to buy an alternate pair with dainite soles for such weather.
>>18354427Water will make leather soles wear faster but it's not that drastic, specially if it's only for a few steps. Personally I'd wear rubber soles on my daily drivers and leave leather soled shoes for special occasions, but that's just me.
>>18354345I wish there were fragrances that are neither cheap axe bodyspray nor $100 for some bullshit fashion brand.Just some essential oils in isopropanyl. How hard can it be. Is there no fragrance equivalent of clothing brands that have sold the same items for the last centuryAlas there isn't such a thing even tho how simple it sounds.
For me, it's
>>18354345I sampled ~100 different fragrances back in 2022-2023 and concluded the only two I really enjoyed and work with my skin are Eight and Bob, and D&G The One. Neither are overpowering or standoffish, but subtle and pleasant for those whom you share close company with. Eight and Bob for spring / summer, and The One for fall & winter. With these I am content.
its 85 degrees every day year round where I live, how can I dress nice...
>>18355203Polos, linen blend chinos or shorts, boat shoes
>>18353060Spier and McKay is incredibly inconsistent. I ordered five pants from them and they varied significantly in waist sizing and rise. In addition their cuts are just abysmal and designed for a stationary dummy or some human-like creature. I can assure you that the parka in your image will be tremendously uncomfortable and you will be restricted in movement. It's cheap for a reason. If you want to be cheap, buy Jpress from the Japan site through a proxy.
>>18352425I got a pair of those about a month ago, they've been an absolute nightmare to break in>>18354345I rotate between Zoologist Moth, CdG Zagorsk, CdG Avignon, and Vintage Castle depending on what I'm feeling and where I'm going. These are all very much cold weather scents though I'd say, I am looking around for some spring/summer stuff
>>18348064>All the equestrian centers around here are filled with 10 year oldsthose kids have mothers.
>>18356712>CdG AvignonFor those who aren't in the know or don't care, CdG Incense Avignon is Morrissey's signature scent.
What the hell do I wear over a medium blue suit similar to this one? I have only this one suit, and need to go to court on Tuesday, and it's -5C.
>>18356712>I got a pair of those about a month ago, they've been an absolute nightmare to break inDid you condition them when you purchased them? Unless its shell, I've never had a pair of leather shoes that did not require conditioning. Sperry is the worst offender, you buy shoes that are dried out and will start getting cracks all over if you don't immediately condition them. I use them for just fucking around and super casual wear, so I just slather them in obenaufs oil.
>>18356782An overcoat.
>>18356782so are you going to be outside for an hour? I still dress normally for work and don't wear a coat, its like a minute to walk from my car to the front door of my office building.
>>18356835Too formal. I wear a suit once or twice a year and feel out of place with something like this.>>18356858I'm going outside for like a minute, you're right. Will probably not wear anything.
>>18356820Not him but rancourt used horween chromexel leather, or did until very recently that stuff does NOT need conditioning out of the box it's fucking pumped full of oil during the tanning process.The break in is rough because they are Goodyear welted loafers sitting on a big thick piece of veg tan leather.Blake stiched loafers break in much faster and are softer out of the box, especially if they have a thinner rubber midsole and a rubber sole.Goodyear welted loafers having a somewhat rough break in period is just kinda the nature of the beast. That's why many brands blake stich theirs instead
>>18356903>Goodyear welted loafers having a somewhat rough break in period is just kinda the nature of the beastI have a few Aldens and redwings. There is a break-in, but calling it "rough" is such a pussy thing to say. Just wear your shoes, human feet are not made out of gelatin. Redditors legit made me nervous when buying my first Goodyear welted iron rangers, and they were easier to break in than the cheap bates boots from boot camp. Faggots were actually posting about them crying from the sores and bruises on their feet, just utterly insane and pathetic.
I'm not sure this is the proper thread to ask, but who makes loafers with a highish heel? I only ever see Gucci with a like 1.25" heel.
>>18354983You can get polo green for $30
Similar question to >>18350657, except instead of being fat i'm /fit/ and a midget and my measurements are retarded. I wear a 33x29 in Levis, and that's only because they don't make a 27 or 28 inch inseam for adult men. I need a pair of trousers for a wedding coming up in March; I've tried off-the-rack, made-to-measure at Nordstroms, etc., and everything always fits way too tightly in the seat.Does anyone make menswear for little mutants like me? What's even flattering on a blocky 5'8" refrigerator build like mine? I started looking at suitsupply; it looks like their wide-leg pant might be a good option, possibly with some tailoring to taper the lower leg a little. I'd had success with the fit of picrelated wranglers, but they're cheapo polyester and feel a little juvenile. thanks in advance anons
Do any anons have experience with Kamakura’s blazers? Half my jackets are 40R, and the other half are 38R. Their size chart isn’t very descriptive, but from what I can make out they suggest a 38(M). Can anyone else confirm?Picrel is their “crazy madras” one that I’m interested in.
How can I be /tip/ in this snowstorm?
>>18357048Husbands Paris makes horsebit loafers with a 1 3/8" heel. Expensive but at least you know somebody makes them>>18351731True. Some of their models have a fat 5cm hem which you can let out and leave 1cm. Leaves an ugly light line at the original hem though. All this and it's barely a no-break pant for me. Not a brand for tall&skinny people.>>18345843There's a thread on mfa praising Sebago Dan over G.H. Bass for beaters, search "beef rolls on a budget sebago"
Appropriate attire for top golf?

>>18357385I took a pretty nice blizzard walk yesterday in a duffle coat, merino long johns under wool slacks, and cashmere-lined leather gloves. I dont have any good boots so i wore longwing oxfords which are really effective, feet didnt get wet even after trudging through high mounds of snow. The only problem was my face getting hit by snow in the wind, i need some kind of face covering.
>>18357208Their sizes are weird because they use alpha sizing but do map to normal jacket sizing. I have their grey herringbone Blazer. I usually wear 40r too, but bought both their M (38) and L (40) to try. The large was much too baggy, shoulders too big, etc. Not in a good, relaxed way. The medium fits really well, but I would prefer it being slightly longer as it doesn't quite cover my ass. It's probably closer to a 40s than a 38r. Weirdly, when I first told them my measurements, they suggested XL, not sure what that was about. Anyway, I would suggest trying the medium unless you are okay buying both and returning one.
>>18357208>>18358272For reference, I'm 6' & 170lbs
>>18358272>>18358277Much appreciated anon Considering I’m a similar body type at about 5’10/5’11 and 155# , the M should be at least an ok fit
>>1835704880% of why this looks cool is camera & lens. Maybe 19% Style and maybe 1% the loafers. At most.kstrh
How bad it is to walk on tons of rock salt with leather soles.
>>18357208>>18358272Just get the size they recommend. Are you trying to get a slim fit out of vintage ivy/kamakura classics? Their paints have to be worn at the actual waist just under your bellybutton, and unstructured jackets have some drape. Just look at the model picture and go by that. All of their items have extensive measurements for each section, just verify on something that already fits well. I will say, unless you have the frame of a Jomon Japanese man, most things will fit poorly on you. No room for Yayois. Parachute cloth shirts are banger as well, can tell they're going to be nearly indestructible. I might pick some more up soon, can wear them without sweaters and just a blazer on top when it's 20F outside.
>>18359011I tried the parachute cloth shirts on last month when I was in Tokyo but wasn't a fan. I do wish they had the flap pockets on some of their vintage ivy OCBDs though
>>18356712The CdG fragrances are a bit of a challenge to get but I hear they're nice.
>>18348378Who?
>>18350259Its funny because even at the firm I work out brown shoes are the norm and the in fashion thing atm
>>18355959You convinced me not to buy from Spier and Mackay. So where can I get a good wool parka? I have tried those from a number of brands here in the UK (Hayes and Curtis, Hackett, Reiss, Ralph Lauren, Suitsupply) and they were all subpar for various reasons.
>>18344270Make sure to dress well. Ya bitch fuck a china dickTradition matters.
>>18359556Are you open to duffels?
>>18357192i'm 5'3. this problem is the bane of my existence. you're going to have to get your pants tailored, hemmed, or buy a sewing machine. the last option would definitely be the cheapest and it would be a good hobby to pick up given the fact that it'll probably be difficult to find dress shirts that fit you either. i went to a korean guy recently to get my pants hemmed, i spent about 36$ but i have the feeling they're still going to be baggy around the legs. i have a pair of 32x28 ralph lauren pants coming in that i bought on ebay for a very reasonable price, about 20$, hopefully they fit. ebay a good place to find cheap pants from expensive brands with a short inseam. you'll also find that some pants are 33x29 but they'll fit like a 27 or 28.

>>18344270Does anyone have a good recommendation for boots? Are the ones Sperry offering good or too low quality. I am looking at the more casual ones I have a separate pair of duck boots for actual outdoor stuff>>18348128This but unironically
What is the pattern called when a white shirt has a thin blue stripe every 3/4 inch or so? Googling "pinstripe shirt" brings up ones that are too close together
>>18359989uni stripe or candy stripe>>18359704start buying made-to-measure and asian brands and girls clothes
>>18360000Nah those stripes are still too close together. I was thinking of something more like pic relAlso quads
>>18359704I'm not sure if I can help you very much given you don't like baggy, but I second the other anon in telling you to buy asian brands. Also when you thrift you're usually getting shit that's 30 years old from some dead guy's closet, so it's going to be ill fitting unless your entire wardrobe is from the same time period. >>18348064Attend local community orchestras and concert bands. Just gotta drive around and attend quite a few of them as most women there will be old. >Plz recommend good venues or social events to enjoy the company of upper-class young ladies =)
>>18356782woke prickthat looks like shit kys
>>18356871Idk then a parka or something
>>18357208
*hits u with that salty ass new England stare*
quintessential /tip/ watches?
>>18360404my photo btw
>>18359704That sweater is like 3 sizes too big for you. It looks like something a 90s Japanese girl would wear to school. If you're pretty thin just look for this when you try out sweaters. >>18353921
>Kamakura gold tierYeah, I'm pretty based.
How do you rotate in wool pants for business casual when most people wear jeans and khakis?
>>18359678No, something like this but in navy
>>18360742Navy slacks and grey flannels
>>18360742Just wear them the same as jeans. The only thing you ironically can't fit in to a casual environment is the navy blazer that Redditors are obsessed with. You can make pretty much everything in /tip/ work except that blazer with gold buttons, it's like a fedora.
>>18358277>For reference, I'm 6'They don't make clothes for you. I wear their large jackets and I'm 5'8". Their large is about the same as my older JPress 41R. I'm fairly confident their sizing caps out at ~5'9" in height. I'm 182lbs ~42" chest measurement and 36" hip (32" smallest ever when I was at ~12% bf), and their pants LARGEST size is W36 and they sell true to size, so I doubt anyone on this thread that isn't sub 5'8" can even wear their pants unless they're skeleton mode, at which case they'd top out at ~5'10" skelly as their largest inseam offered is 32"If you're tall, their shirts really don't get much longer. I wear their size 16 shirts following their measurement guides, and they are 6 buttons with the last button right on my bellybutton, meaning even at my height I need higher waisted pants, which I've done by buying pants exclusively from them. I hear its a bit better with the NY fit shirts but those also cap out around 6' height.I love Kamakura and their quality and fit is unmatched at that price point, but it's really made for shorter guys and I wouldn't recommend it for taller guys who unfortunately have to pay more for the quality, the likes of drakes or Jpress.
>>18360799You're wrong, the medium fits me great at 183cm. Might be because I have a shorter torso. 182lbs is big for 5'8", so I guess you fill out the large jacket more than me
>>18360758why nigga that looks like dogshit sexcore
I want to buy some loafers for semi formal, but more casual than oxfords occasions. I dont want them to be super nice because they will basically be beaters. Anyone have any recs for semi defent loafers? I dont want the $500+ shoes, but sub $100 is too shitty. Anything ok in the $100-$200 range?
