From >>18610912 and >>18614671This is now a Godfather of Armani drip thread.https://www.tiktok.com/@elliot_duprey/video/7350410425709727019https://www.instagram.com/p/DCdHneLOicJ/
dude was fucking #sexcore before that retard that spams #sexcore in /fa/ was alive
I see kids wanting to dress like it's the 90's now. This is peak 90's menswear right here.
Even today as a grandpa dude suits up better than all the ball-hugging polyester propercloth morons like in >>18610912
>>18614683Pat rielly is the goat drip respect
>>18614683more pls
>>18614699yeah theres just something about 90s ties
>>18614685>>18614688Are these from instagram or something? Gay.
>>18614701What watch does he wear?
>>18614716>goat>dripFucking kill yourself, zoomer cunt.
>>18615402hard to tell for sure, but bracelet sure looks like it's a Rolex Datejust
>>18614683Peak 1989
>>18614683
The only thing that didn't age well from this era are the high heels. Everything else is totally timeless. The narrow belts are peak effey too.
He was more Gordon Gekko than Gekko was.
Gives me comfy nostalgic feelings of my late grandpa who was a business owner.
Riley was definitely one of the best dressed in his day, but being from Detroit, the Lakers were the enemy. plus as a kid I didn't know anything about fashion. the Pistons had Chuck Daly, a schlub that looked like his suit was off the rack. which was a good fit for Detroit, at least. I did like his haircut.
nba needs to enforce a dress code for coaches again

Thoughts on turtlenecks under a jacket?
kino thread
>>18617095Looks fantastic, I wish I could pull this off.
>>18617099very euro
>>18617105I appreciate you for saying that.
>>18617095That'll never happen. It's easier to stealth advertise team merch by having the coach wear it (eg. that years team shirt that has different company sponsors on it from last year).
>>18617341in the NFL they're contractually obligated to wear team/league merch. Belichick used to wear the shittest hoodies available as protest.
>>18617407delete this >>18617341even in chess they're wearing blazers with advertisements on them. no I won't post an example. >>18614685grey pants, grey sport coat and light blue shirt, I would've thought this combination would wash out the person wearing it, but somehow it doesn't? is it the red tie?
>>18614683i think a big part of what makes these photos look good is the vintage/nostalgic camera grain, and that all the photos are candid, taken when he's in motion/doing his job. idk if it's just me but you just look cooler when your suit jacket is unbuttoned, hands on hips, in pockets, etc. taking a mirror selfie with a modern smartphone camera in an idle stance and you'll look like a square no matter what>pictured: paul westhead, the guy who gave pat riley his job
>>18617248You are right. Just like Pat's Italian suits.
>>18617407>they're contractually obligated to wear team/league merchI always had a feeling that was the case. That sucks.
>>18617099Everything is too tight and short.
>>18617095Anyone recognize the watch? Pic is from the early 90s.
>>18614688Those pants are perfection, god I fucking hate skinny suits.
>>18617692I think they're just a tad too wideleg, but skinnyfit deserves to die like 70's polyester
>>18617095>>18617097>>18617678Damn, these take me back. The coach cards were the most boring I thought. But I had Blazers shit everywhere back then. And they were so good. They almost made it every year there for a while. Clyde the Glide.
>>18617692This.>>18617407That is some fucking BULLSHIT. I haven't followed pro sports really as an adult, and it seems to have all gone to shit since I was a kid. Remember Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday? You're telling me he would have to wear a sweatsuit or something with NFL logos on it?? It may work for Ditka, but it didn't for fucking Tom Landry.And they hire lip readers to try and figure out the plays so these guys have to cover their mouths... shameful shit.
>>18618589yeah, the Lakers took the west every year, but the Blazers were good. I saw Clyde play the Pistons with the same team that became the bad boy team. I think it was Rodman's rookie year
>>18617099based if you ask me, but that's because I wear it in this way
>>18618591Mike Nolan of the 49ers got around it by getting Reebok to make a suit for him, but I think they banned that as well
>>18619026He's a big guy.
>>18619258Smart guy. Too bad the league decided only cheap chinese poly garbage (marked up 500%) instead.
>>18619258Reebok? That's not even a sports team thing. What exactly is this rule? They just can't dress nice? Or they have to wear something that a big advertiser makes? You need to clarify this now, because it's getting too confusing for me.
Did Phil Jackson dress well enough to be recognized?
>>18619315I don't know exactly but Reebok was probably a sponsor of the league of his team. And yes, one anon mentioned above that coaches were forced as part of their job to wear the tacky sports clothes.
>>18619316Yes. But wasn't quite as drippy as Pat.
>>18619316
>>18619316lol forgot to turn off the tripfag nameHE STILL SUCKS COCKS THO
Pippen was shit without MJ
I should go back to suspenders
ENTERS
>>18619947wtf is that retard wearing
>>18619947worst fit ITT
>>18620051and that's saying a lot with the Belichek sweats pic
>>18620051Hes Dutch what do you expect?
>>18619600>>18619602It must have helped that he was taller than his players. Psychologically I think he could get away with a bit more. In fact, I'd be surprised if there were any really short NBA head coaches. I think being former players has a lot to do with it. I don't believe all that stuff about height dynamics since historically there have been so many short dudes who accomplished so much, but in this one scenario it seems like you'd have an edge. I'm just probably thinking that though because the Bulls won so much under PJ, but 90% of that was Jordan alone. This thread makes me feel like I'm 11 again and back in my old bedroom.
>>18620259yeah, Jackson played on the champion Knicks team with Walt "Clyde" Frasier, the only NBA team to ever have a perfect season. a good player in his day.
>>18620259I had this one
How do I mimic this style without being too formal?I can drop the tie but a sport coat will still make me stick out
>>18620541more context needed:age?scenario in which you'll be wearing it?
>>1862063826Everywhere: work, the town
>>18620638Drop the tie depending on context. Could also swap the jacket for a wool sweater. If a jacket is appropriate the less padding in the shoulders (I.e. soft tailored) the more informal and versatile. Mix and match trouser/jacket colours and textures. Loafers are also very casual.Check out: https://theanthology.net/chronicles/beyond-an-everyman-suit
>>18620699Meant for>>18620541
>>18620699thanks for linking that site.dude is the ugliest fucking dude ever, but at least he knows how to dress
>>18619315they literally have to wear something with visible logos. it's in the contract, they have to do it
>>18619947>skinny fit>cropped pants>no socks>sneakersthis is one of the worst things i've ever seen
>>18620945that's saying a lot around here
>>18620945I made that post to ridicule the fit, not to celebrate it. In case you didnt know.
>>18620944they should allow logos embroidered on the jacket the way schools that require uniforms have their crest embroidered.I mean, they won't because they want people to see the coach wearing a team item that people can buy from the NFL store, but my way would be a decent compromise.or like the black coaches could wear one of those giant iced-out medallions with the team logo. I guess that's only effay from a certain perspective, but at least it would be more fair.
>>18621044not him but yeah, we got it.sick burn, too
>>18620259actually most coaches are slightly-above-average height former point guards, as they needed to know the Xs and Os in their playing days instead of just being a giant grug who puts ball in hoop
>>18621276..are you...are you implying that only whites are smart enough to coach ball?
>>18620523Do ya know do ya know do ya know?That Mars Blackmon 'Do The Right Thing' crossover was weird. I didn't realize until years later that it was a movie character.
>>18620944Just ANY logos? Obviously it has to tie in with the team or a sponsor of the NBA.
I'm pretty late to the vintage armani obsession so I've got a question. Where should the label break be for it to actually look accurate or does it not matter as much?
>>18621680Checking back now realizing I typed label instead of lapel like a freak
>>18621793Both work actually. Coats have labels too. And if it's Armani I'm sure that label is half the fucking value anyway.
>>18621680Yes it mattersI can't remember when and in which direction sadly. I'll go digging.
>>18623529clean
>>18623614look at this pimp
>>18623617fuhgeddaboudit
>>18621885In every photo it seems that the lapel break happens right at the waistline of the pants. I only ask because I've seen a lot of jackets second hand that either have higher or lower button placement (therefore higher/lower break)
>>18617407Why doesn't he just wear a baseball cap with a logo? Or is it specified that it has to be a hoodie or something
>>18621680Generally the top button (on a 2 button jacket) would marry up with the waistline of your trousers.
>>18619478>>18620944was having the team logo or an nfl lapel pin not enough for these fucking jews?
>>18625858Of course not. Merchandise is a ridiculous money maker. The cost to profit ratio must be something sickening.
>>18614683Where do I look for blazers or sport coats cut in this sort of style? Do I need to go MTM?
>>18627166>Do I need to go MTM?yeah or vintage mostly 80s some 90s
>>18617105This.
>>18621276When random pics of 90s basketball tycoons are better advertisment for suits than that shit fashion fotographs come up with.
>>18628183"India Mart"tells you everything you need to know
>>18628160I can't believe the thread I made has stuck around 3 weeks. PS zoomers: this is Remington Steele. Go torrent episodes of it.
this belongs here
Is there a term for the lapel breaking at the waist? Thats a good observation.
>>18614685Id on the shoes?
>>18617099It's okay but I always think that shirt and tie looks better.
>>18614683>How come you wearing that suit B? For real its 85 fucking degrees out here.
>>18628542Lmao.
Why Vintage Armani Looks So Good Now:Finally a GQ article worth reading.https://archive.is/PqkoM
>>18627166No store (unless their a speciality store) would. You'd have to find a tailor who either makes older styles, is willing to M2M you one or luck out in a thrift store.
>>18628550He's buttoned that backwards hasn't he?
>>18629450The watch is on the wrong hand. Likely mirrored
>>18629451It's mirrored. That picture was recently featured in a Permanent Style article and the author (not Simon) admitted in the comments that it had been mirrored. Anon did not bother fixing it before posting.
>>18629451>>18629463Ok good that explains it. By why mirror the image in the first place?
>>18629258I have about 3 armani sport coats and none of them have the break that low
also remember when he died and that anon whose dad knew him posted? that was kino
>>18630315armani I mean, not pat
>>18628866no it fucking doesn't. Park that shit somewhere where the undercarriage isn't exposed to salt water to prevent rust.
>>18633342post fit
>>18634440another faggot futbol coach wtf
>>18631763This looks off. I cant get around the desert boots.
>>18635520too baggy, accentuated by his lack of shoulder pads, makes it look even droopier
>>18623617class
I wish I could dress like this.
bump for more old suit inspo
>>18640932unrelated to 80's armani, and seeing this is the only men's suiting thread, I really want to wear a club collar shirt but am afraid I can't pull it off
>>18641025they've always looked larpy to me and they remind me of men's portrait photos from the XIXth and XXth century
>>18641027fair enough, that choad in the pic looks insufferable
Redoill me on collars and lapels
>>18641054Collars:i won't link to those retards from gentleman's gazette... so here's a good link from Eton:https://www.etonshirts.com/ae/en/page/collarLapels:https://bespokeunit.com/suits/lapel/styles/And bonus, shirt cuffs:https://www.permanentstyle.com/2020/09/the-guide-to-shirt-cuffs.htmlpic: the cocktail cuff

>>18643325I've never seen a more fitting use of the "pencil-necked geek" moniker than this nerd
>>18641331this is what i am looking for, thank you
>>18643716you're welcome. 6 weeks and this thread is still kicking lol
>>18643695look at that nerd>>18642802>>18643325look at this goober
>>18645043I don't really see what's wrong here?
>>18645769the cravat is gaythe hankerchief is an extravagant foldthe peak lapel points are almost at the top of his shouldersit's half a size too smallthe colour is awfulit's dandyism, not dressing like a gentlemanplus negro
>>18645823
>>18645043I say we increase the country club captchas by 50 IQ points. who is with me?
>>18647013how would you feel if you didn't have lunch yesterday?
>>18647013dat's wasis
where do you get a red belt like he has in the grey suit ?
>>18625397You have to wear brand specific stuff for everything. Jack Del Rio had to make a deal with Reebok to get a custom suit made by them in the mid 2000s.
>>18617509What is the pattern on this jacket called?
>>18650659Good question. Looks like it's just stripes.
