- They definitely target schizotypial, schizoid and narcissistic anons. Personally I'm a schizoid hikikomori. Most leaders tend to be narcissists (also known as the warrior gene) and schizotypial/schizoid thinkers have autistic thinking without the cognitive impairment and for all of human history have tended to be either dysfunctional retards or paradigm shifting thinkers and transcendent virtuoso artists and the likes. My point is, those "chuds" were the most dangerous ones to the agenda behind the janny's.
- Anons the jannies did not like were deemed "schizos" to discredit them in the eyes of anons but I think a lot of people miss the big picture: Jannies were afraid and focusing their efforts heavily on severing the more creative outside-the-box thinking anons from the normiecattle. Normalizing the idea that any unusual idea or concept you haven't heard of before at face value is "schizo" before you've looked into it was a psyop in and of itself.
- Ultimately they don't want you go into the real world and do something meaningful/influential. I forgot the quote and where it's from, but ever heard that one about how in the devil's perfect world man wouldn't be tortured or anything like that, rather he'd be staring at a wall watching paint dry for eternity?

Chat, is brooks bros still a shit? I don't expect a real answer but for frame of reference, I started off with BB in the late 90s, then they started to suck, went through suit supply (meh) and propercloth (defaults to skinny fit and I basically have to DIY my own measurements if i want anything that isn't a pee wee herman suit). I've gone through multiple re-fittings and my current fit is better than it was but I'm still not thrilled especially considering everything takes a month or longer

I have a long torso and short legs so proportions have always been annoying for me, that's what sent me to propercloth in the first place, but I'm convinced that unless I pony up 10 grand for a real bespoke suit from a high end maker I might as well just go back to RTW, am I wrong here?

tl;dr should I just go back to the old brand that isn't even the same company anymore?

J Press is the only one of those I'd seriously consider, and even in their case they're quite a small operation and I'd probably have to get MTM and I'm just tired of MTM. O'Connell's looks cool but I'm not going to fucking buffalo just to buy a suit. Jack Donnelly makes nice khakis but they never have anything in stock, last time I ordered something there it took almost 3 months to get it, and they don't make suits

I'll probably just get another suit supply t b h. Or even J Press. If it's good enough for memedani it's good enough for me

The cut on O'Connell's shirts is impeccable. Unfortunately their sport shirts have 1950s sleeve lengths so the size small is only for manlets.
Anyways their Oxfords are fantastic, not baggy or oversized at all but also not skinny or slim. No skimping on fabric but they also don't have any of that tunic shirt vibe

Isn't that highly relative though? All you're saying is it fits you well, your body (except sleeve length)

the guy you replied to is a zoomer jeet twink who shits up this board constantly because he has nothing going on with his life. half of /fa/'s posts per day are made by him.the earliest i can find of him, he used to plague the watch thread for years rambling about "schizos" all the time and obsessing over some anon in florida that he didn't like.then he discovered doug and started spamming doug threads constantly.jeet anon is known to sit in threads like skincare general and balding general shilling tranny hormones and misdiagnose people. he's also known to samefag and encourage suicide in the thinspo thread. and stuff like that.he thinks he's on some tard quest to "make the next lolcow" and he's clearly been groomed by one of those 764 style COM cults.and then one day he started fixating on me because i called out a bunch of posts in the balding thread that were giving bad medical advice and misdiagnosing people.doug stopped posting around that same time, so he's been obsessing over me and dedicating like 6-8 hours per day to ruining the denim thread ever since because he has nothing in his life.at some point he started spamming my pics and saying he would "kill me in one punch" and started commenting on how i look "weak" and "like a ftm" and calling me a manlet all the time.i let him do his gay cringe little internet tough guy routine for a year or so before i mentioned that i box and i would murder him lol. go find his pic on the archive if you're curious i would literally break this kid in half haha.i just laugh at him because i know he's brown, incel and has a sad life.

The Casatlantic discussion is so funny. Just last week I tried on a few pairs in different fits and I've concluded that they are my least favorite pants of all time. They're way too high of a rise to be worn without a jacket, but they are cotton. It's very rare for me to pair a sport coat or a blazer with cotton trousers. When worn without a jacket, you look like a full-blown nerd like Steve Urkel. Don't get it twisted, I love pleated pants and I like a moderate rise. I usually wear a rise between 10-12 inches. Once you get in the >13 inch rise it looks like shit.

men worth actually looking up to and respecting to be focused on themselves. normal people don't even know what a "manlet" is. it's really only the söyjack looking redditors, sukeban women, r9k incels and fatherless brownskins who use that vernacular. if i'm wrong post a timestamped face pic.

does anyone ever ask themselves: why would i ever take the biggest losers who ever lived seriously?
i can't imagine.
z0mg some kissless loser called me a name on 4chins im sad ;_;

i was one of the first english speakers who started talking about denim on the internet and i started the denim general on here.
i bought these jeans all the way back in high school, pretty drippy for a kid in 2005. i have better fits but its a little nostalgic because i've been fading them off-and-on for so long.
a lot of the posts that look like me spamming are actually the other guy just copy and pasting my posts from the archives to try to confuse people and make it look like i'm spamming.

i drive a low miles excellent condition 1988 325is in a rare highly desired paint color. the m3 sucks ass on the street its a high strung 4 banger made for the track. my car's worth like 20-30k https://bringatrailer.com/search/?s=1988+325is
its a car that makes pretty much everyone's top 10 list of best cars ever made. they're extremely reliable, fun to drive, beautiful and tasteful. the e30 is the most accomplished platform in motorsports history.
poojeets like you do not understand class or taste because this is your first generation outside of abject poverty. and you don't know anything about cars whatsoever so you are easily impressed with stuff like an ipad in the dashboard.
you literally out yourself as third world or a woman-like male who can't turn a wrench if you're not at least aware that its a highly sought-after collector car and i have a clean ass example.

>I usually wear a rise between 10-12 inches. Once you get in the >13 inch rise it looks like shit.
10 inches (25 cm if I am correct) is almost a low rise. You can start talking about a proper high rise from 12 inches minimum (30 cm) onwards. So that makes 11 inches a mid rise. 13 is definitely okay as a high rise and it doesn’t look like shit. It will at 14 though. The reason Casatlantic pants are godawful is their absurd cut, more than the rise. High-rise trousers and jeans in general are the gold standard of men’s fashion.

>>18584494
I'm after a suit, not a shirt. I am actually fine with the shirts I'm getting from proper cloth, which is, I assume, what you're referring to with these "brands specializing in MTM"

the problem with MTM on a suit is that you either have to trust the house recommendations (I've got 3 jackets from them thus far, and 4 pairs of trousers, and after torturing them into something other than skinny fit, the best I can say is they're okay-ish) or randomly change parameters hoping not to introduce an unintended outcome like puckering or divots in a random spot because I'm not a professional tailor

I just don't think MTM for suits (as opposed to bespoke) makes that much sense unless all you care about is having the ability to add peacocky gimmicks like ticket pockets and custom liner colors, that's fun once or twice and then you find it cringe. the length and button stance were what drew me in, but there's so much more to a good fit than that, and I now realize I'm not SUCH an anatomical freak that this is worth the trouble. I'm not dead set against the idea, like I said my jacket and trouser fits are okay-ish, but just okay-ish, it needs optimizing, but I'm burned out on this. the last straw for me is the fucking obnoxious pick stitching that ISN'T optional, some materials are better at concealing that, so it's not a dealbreaker on highly textured casual jackets, but it's hard to hide on a generic business suit

>>18584517
yeah I was never really that impressed with BB shirts which is sad because that's supposedly their claim to fame, best case scenario is they're meh. I was a kamakura stan, until they closed their NYC shops, that was a betrayal and now they're dead to me now. free shipping if you spend $400! lol no

anyway I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna get j crew like memedani. I'm not after a suit to stand out as some kind of style icon, I just want something that's appropriate, not inappropriate, and doesn't draw attention to itself

Tech is in a weird rut right now... There was an over-hiring in 2020-2022, then there were layoffs, but there's still a ton of senior SWEs who are absolutely useless who haven't been laid off yet.
The big problem is that nobody is hiring new grads/juniors and half of the juniors who are hired are due to nepotism/connections not merit.

How you dress in tech seems to be negatively correlated with income. The principal SWE who makes >500k/year dresses in a cum-stained hoodie while the junior making 100k dresses like he's in finance.

They are great for walking and standing but impractical for sitting and especially driving
It can be hard to pull them off. If they are muted and formal, the clothes underneath need to match, but casual patterns and fabrics tend to be very eye catching (think of camel, large grey herringbones, houndstooths, et cetera)
If it is wide enough to fit over a suit (as it should be) it will be very loose over just a shirt or thin sweater

I've got a few Vineyard Vines OCBDs too, they're trash and I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy them, especially for the price

In order of my preference
Individualized shirts MTO (you must insist on soft unfused interlining)
O'Connell's unlined and unfused
J press trim fit (it's not skinny it's just not a full tunic fit like their regular cut)
This seasons Workers BD in supima oxford fabric
Kamakura MTO in the new York trim cut
Kamakura vintage ivy line (collars are only 3 inches)
Power gap >>>
Modern polo Ralph Lauren
The current brooks bros made in usa Oxfords (they can't even survive a few trips through the dryer)
>>
Also Mercer and sons OCBDs fit like a blouse and getting one to fit half decently on anyone but an obese boomer isn't worth the effort.

I have OCBDs from O'Connell's, J Press, Kamakura, Lands' End, Mercer & Sons, and Spier and Mackay. My favorites are easily the O'Connell's unlined and unfused because of how lightweight they are. Perfect for all seasons in the southern US. I just wish they made it in green cloth. The only OCBD I've been disappointed in is from Spier and Mackay. There is a noticeable difference in the quality of the construction compared to the other shirtmakers I listed. Their shirts are stiff and uncomfortable to wear.

First of all, combining casual with formal is very much the essence of /tip/. Second, it’s 60 years from Take Ivy which already features people wearing jeans so can we stop pretending like jeans aren’t part of /tip/? Besides, khakis in their nature aren’t any more formal than jeans.

Khakis aren't as formal as slacks/dress pants, but they go well with tip because their texture, fabric and overall look isn't as rugged and blue collar as jeans. So they don't clash thematically or visually as much.

Sport coat + casual button down + jeans is literally classic menswear at this point. It was a ubiquitous outfit all the way up until the 90s. Sport coats are not formal items. It's in the name. Sport. They pair well with jeans, and they pair well with chinos and slacks when you want to look more dressed up.
>>
>>18590829
The reason they look like aging millennial uncs is because they're redditors. They both have beards, one of them is wearing an undershirt while having 2 buttons on his collared shirt unbuttoned, and the other is unironically wearing a PRL bear sweater.

The problem with these guy is that they are completely submissive to the menswear "rules" that they've read about online. They've never once critically looked at themselves in the mirror and asked "do I actually look good?"

With the bald guy, his jacket doesn't suit him. It's unconstructed, there's nothing in the shoulders. Menswear people love to preach about the unconstructed look, but this man has sloping shoulders, the unconstructed look doesn't work for him, he needs shoulder padding, that's the point of shoulder padding, to negate sloping shoulders.

With the other guy, his whole outfit is fake. It's a careful balance of made up formal-casual scoring points. The shirt, jacket, and shoes are formal, so the sweater and jeans make it less formal. In his head, this is a perfectly balanced outfit, but in reality, nobody wears jeans and a suit jacket (and don't give me "it's a sport jacket", it's a suit jacket, it has structured shoulders, it has lapels, it's based on a tunic, it's a suit jacket.)
Same thing with their shoes, it doesn't matter if you poke holes in it, or if the lace openings are above or below the vamp, leather shoes = formal, that's reality today.

To go further on that last point

The notions of formality that most menswear enthusiasts have are grossly out of touch with reality.
You may be able to distinguish a difference in formality between white tie and black tie, but the average person cannot, to them, they are both extremely formal.

Pic related is dressed extremely formal by modern standards. Virtually nobody would even notice that he is wearing jeans, and they absolutely would never notice his shoes.
The mere presence of a suit jacket or a tie communicates that it is formal, no matter the fabric or pattern, and anything else you wear with it can do nothing to lower its formality. He could be wearing cargo shorts and sandals, it would make no difference.
That is the state of how people view classic menswear

Pic related is wearing a collared shirt, tie, and fedora. While I confess this is the most extreme example, and some wily eyed people may notice some discrepencies in his outfit, the majority of people will look at this man and consider him sharply dressed. He himself has likely dressed up like this believing it to be the smartest outfit he can think of, and if he added on a suit jacket, everyone would say he is dressed formally.

Both of these people are avid menswear enjoyers. I have no doubt that they enjoy the look of a full business suit over this half-casual frankenstein, but they have given themselves into submission of societal rules that do not exist, telling themselves that they cannot wear a business suit in the casual setting of a street. But that if they replace the slacks with jeans, if they remove the tie and poke some broguing into their shoes, that this will magically make them appear normal and acceptable to society, but this is a delusion. Nobody outside of menswear autists see these outfits as anything other than a business suit. Everyone will assume they're going to a job interview, or a wedding, etc.

Their attempt to appear socially acceptable while still dressing "classic" has failed and they might as well either wear a tshirt and cargo shorts, or stop being a bitch and just wear a proper suit, because frankly it makes no difference to the general public anyway.

Where do I find thick and short pullovers
t. 42 chest, drop 10
>>
>>18595979
Vintage, search
Shetland 42
On eBay
Or
Lambswool 42
Or email https://www.shetlandknitwear.com/
And ask nicely and they will make a sweater with whatever sleeve and body length you want
Modern knitwear is almost always going to be long in the torso
>>
>>18595979
You don't. Even if you think you do, you'll find an inch or two shorter at most which isn't really enough at all and the ribbing around the waist will still be far too loose. It will still look like you're wearing a sack given your proportions. Unfortunately, that's the nature of thicker sweaters since they don't drape as well. I'd also recommend against sizing down since it won't make much difference when you're enough sizes over what your frame should be for your height, and instead is likely to look too big and too tight at the same time, but in different areas of the body. Personally I like thicker sweaters to have a 2-3" tolerance around the chest, and lighter weight sweaters range from 4-6" extra. I tuck them a little depending on thickness or rest them above my waist band or belt to combat the length which works decently enough and has a relaxed feel.

I've been wanting to pick up a Balmacaan for a while now.
Make sure it has raglan sleeves and an interesting pattern, maybe tweed or something.
They are definitely the kind of outerwear that really lends itself to being left open as a layering piece though, so probably not something you can really wear if it actually gets super cold. Buttoned up they always just end up looking like a formless mess.

Whenever there isn't a dress code, people dress like slobs now. We're in the later stages of prole drift where it's affecting everyone, including a large portion of the elite and soon-to-be elite.
>>
>>18597209
That's the point of fashion. Every outfit is a larp of something, because you're trying to project a certain image with it. It's just a matter of whether you care enough about the message you're sending or not. In today's society most people are too uncultured, shameless and sloppy to care about it. So they don't put much thought into their outfits.

When you wear your "athleisure" NPC rags, you're larping as an athlete, despite being a fatass or a skinnyfat pussy who has never played any sport in his entire life. You may as well dress like a firefighter to school. When you wear jeans, you're larping as a miner, farmer or a construction worker from the late 1800s to 1940s. When you wear a crew neck t-shirt, you're larping as the WW2 American soldiers for whom they were invented.

Trad/Ivy/Prep clothes on the other hand were specifically designed for a lifestyle that doesn't involve any strenuous or rugged activity. So they're perfect for an urban, non-blue collar/outdoor lifestyle. These types of clothes are lighter than workwear and more elegant and varied than athletic clothes. Which is why they were adopted by university students, office workers, and men who just want to dress in a presentable and elegant way.

i have a long peacoat in navy blue and a polo shirt with my embroidered company logo (That i started, to be clear).

so i basically have to go all in on pants and shoes to maintain my tip-ness, does black slacks/black leather shoes pair to navy blue top?
>>
>>18586649
1. are you looking for a "cold weather in new york in between my taxi and my hotel" kinda look? cause that's about the only look that's in. you need to be putting on the ritz at least somewhat. polo and quarterzip mandatory.

2. they drastically, DRASTICALLY lose their power when buttoned up. even a tripple button open breasted version like my own ((it also has a zip in that makes it into a more layering focused coat but ruins lines))

3. rain is a bitch, but not as much of a bitch as the tail is.

4. this isn't a "real" winter coat. like if you're anywhere with snow that isn't just falling to be plowed then don't even bother.

5. it's aura farming to put on and take off, but getting the exact fit right is difficult. doesn't quite have the gravitas of a leather but it's way less tembermental.

if you're daring, pair it with a short sleeve tucked in office pants for a "sleezecore in winter" vibe.

oh and it's like office wear so it's gonna suck to raise your arms in an shit. It's strictly for i'm walking/longboarding/ubering to my high paid office job kinda vibes. that or high end meals.

i pair it with my hoodie as a "yeah i work in tech fucking say something", but typically putting this on means you're saying "Yeah no sport styles here, the closest you'll get is a polo."

black shoes/boots?

I just graduated from an ivy and a lot of people dress /tip/ - it's just not every day all the time since students don't have that much space to store heavily layered clothing in a tiny wardrobe.

people tended to wear a lot of trench/overcoats during cold and rainy months, and the most common daily wear was a shaggy sweater with a collared shirt underneath. in warmer months, summer jackets are pretty common. in colder months, it shifts more towards heavy jackets: herrignbone overcoats, quilted down jackets, canada goose, oilskin jackets. a lot of these outfits are classics, they aren't larp gear :(
i still dress like this often and my friends bully me.

Are there still places that sell thick warm winter coats in black?
I got a warm-ish coats from Propercloth and Kamakura. Bemberg instead of plastic, 100% wool, horn buttons ... perfect. Except not really warm enough for really cold winters. And they don't sell black anymore?
It's such an iconic classic piece of americana. So confusting how this is so hard to find. Shot from Eyes Wide Shot for reference.

"Went to an Ivy" is always code for Cornell/Dartmouth/Brown. People who went to the good ones always say the actual school.

Yeah its kinda strange those are lumped into the ivy category. When you say "Ivy league" no one thinks Penn or brown lmao, they think Harvard, Yale, Princeton.

>>18599609
Ah yes, the top 20 schools in THE WORLD are just so shitty according to anon who probably went to East Tennessee State or something

Cornell, Dartmouth and Brown certainly aren't up there in anything meaningful. Just go to Chicago or Michigan and stop wasting your parents money. Really with no bullshit, for ivies its Harvard, Yale, Princeton or bust. Didn't even know Cornell was an Ivy, just that the loser guy from the office went there.

Flannel generally is a little plebian.
That's not to say it was bad. But it is to say it will always clash with and otherwise prep outfit.

Have you ever worn either of them and compared side to side? It's subjective and you'll have to determine if the value is worth it to you, but they aren't the same cut or the same quality I'll tell you that.

"Every week" probably almost nobody. Would be an uncomfortable lifestyle even if it was financially irrelevat to you. Proof: semi-retired Jeff Bezos or Sergey Brin did not do that.

That being said, summer vacation in Europe every year is something even a large part of the middle class can afford.

The US is an unbelievably well off country. You can be a total nobody, have an office job with one or two hierarchy layers below you and be absolutely loaded. And be a total nobody: generic american guy.

You live in a lower or lower middle class bubble dude. That is not normal for middle class Europeans or Americans. Stop larping as part of our culture if you aren't part of our culture.
