Knit blazers y/n? Seems like a nice way not to look out of place being too dressed up wearing a real sports coat
stop posting the nigger
>>18674826Thanks, I bought a pair of 998 NBs since they were on sale and to bring in the season. My first pair of New Balances.
>>18674785Somebody is going to sperg about how Southern Tide isn't trad since it's a new brand
>>18674855Good for them. It's 4chan.
What's the best brand for long sleeved polo shirts (not rugbys)?
larp generalthe entire board laughs at you
>>18675074>all lowercaseShouldn't you be dilating your neovagina right now?
How many months has it been?
Bout to cop
>>18675229>jos a. bankI didn’t think anyone under 65 shopped there.
>>18675235I got a polo from my dead grampa that fits real nice from them so I'ma see watsup
>>18674847I dislike them personally. I really hate items that are kind of halfway to the real thing. If a blazer is called for wear a proper blazer.
Who makes roomy chinos like this with a high rise in 2026? Do the classic fit pants from J. Press fit like pic related? I tried O'Connell's chinos but they were a bit too slim
I've never dressed tip but I'll need to dress nicely for an upcoming work event, like dress pants and a blazer. What can I get that's reasonable quality/price?
>>18675585>the npc question again
>>18675585>Pini Parma and Berg & Berg make good pants but they are more dressy>LL Bean has chinos similar to this but only in light beige>Ralph Lauren sells multiple models that are near identical but overpriced or tapered>Marco O' Polo sells linen pants similar to this but they are see-through>Strokeman's sells a linen cotton blend, but again, more tapered>NN.07 and BOSS sell chinos that are very close, but they are all synthetic blend AND overpricedIt's over>>18675613Suit Supply and Spier & Mackay
>>18675621Looks very gay
>>18675686All of their "100%" wool or cotton stuff still has polyesther lining and pockets and stuff.I write a harassment email/linkedin message every 4 months to a few employees at random about this.You guys should help me write more harassment emails about plastic in clothing.
>>18675585QRD on the o'connell's chinos? Do they match the size chart? I was looking to buy a pair in plain front and double pleated.
>>18675743They will always tell you vintage trousers that were produced in Italy and France all had cotton-polyester lining and no one ever complained until we found out about microplastics.
>>18675585J.Crew Giant Fit Chinos
>>18675955If you want to look like ass that’s a great suggestion
>>18675585Timecatcher (something like Bronson, can buy both brands on Olderbest) has a new model. 34cm front rise. Ignore the huge belt in the pic
>>18676022>Bronson
>>18676038Yeah you're right, I've already been through the "bro the legs are short but they have 5cm surplus" and then you have an ugly white line where the hem was undone.That being said some of their models are longer now. 1955 Classic Selvedge Biker Jeans have 84cm inseam for example.
>>18676238Also the model in the pic I posted is 183cm tall and the inseam is 77cm - not that bad.
>>18675613just buy quality brands off ebay or poshmark
>>18676238>>18676239>inseam instead of length
>>18675585Buck Mason, alternatively RL Andrew pants on ebay
>>18676238>have to buy trousers intended for cuffing and wear them uncuffed to get a decent inseam

Should I get a Brooks Brothers "Friday Shirt" if I want something I can wear untucked in the summer with shorts
>>18677709their miusa line is short too, at least mine are and they're ~10 years old and still look great. I want a few more untuckable shirts so I'm also looking for options. It seems like most high $ ones need to be tucked in unless you get them hemmed, but I don't have any real reference pics.>untucked ocbd ishygddt this is not trad muffy will crucify youI don't care. Quit being a dweeb.
Whats a good dark brown derby/blucher in the $300-400 price range?
>>18677789I know the Lands End "Sail Rigger" shirts are a decent length to wear untucked and they're super cheap
Is J Press as bad as the Redditors say right now?
>>18678196J Press has always been pretentious historyless crap
>>18678299I mean the quality, goofball
>>18675229this style of polo just scream current "old money" fashion trend to me. When I see guys wearing it, I assume they have no idea about actual trad ivy style
>>18674847There are other options among blazers you can wear to dress down to avoid looking like a clown in something like this. I may be too European but to me it seems impossible to be overdressed with a blazer. If you want to dress it down you can leave out the tie.
>>18679273Unfortunately yes. I pity the people who have been wearing these for years because they liked the way they looked in Goodfellas and now have to see every spic and nigger copy their look from Zara. It used to be cool, now it screams H&M TikTok "Old Money Core".
>>18674785>>18674785any good places to shop, especially secondhand, near Princeton and additionally in Manhattan? I'm traveling.
Are there any suede bucks under $500? I used to have a pair of the kenton bucks from J Crew but they don't make them anymore. Also open to any recommendations of shoes that would fill a similar role. Allen Edmonds has a suede wingtip that looks beautiful but my Park Aves are not my favorite fit and its the same last. J Press has some for $585 and Grant Stone doesn't have a tan.
>>18679866Try looking at TB Phelps, they even have the classic red sole.

>>18674785Let this be your regular reminder to use online shop feedback emails to harass manufacturers to use less of the 98% cotton 2% elastane crap
>>18682610pedophile?
>>18682610Are you ok? She’s hot af.
>>18682613I was lookin at the Asphalte tough trouser and their composition section mentions 100% cotton but description says "touch of elastane". I was wondering how come they write 100% then, turns out elastane is < 1%.> Thank you for reaching out to us, and you are correct, the elasthane part is less than 1% which is why we indicate 100% cotton. The Elasthane part is strictly the minimum to ensure that the trousers don't feel rough.Why man, who cares if it feels rough
>>18682650Holy fucking kek. The absolute state.
>>18682650>> Thank you for reaching out to us, and you are correct, the elasthane part is less than 1% which is why we indicate 100% cotton. The Elasthane part is strictly the minimum to ensure that the trousers don't feel rough.>Why man, who cares if it feels roughI have a reminder for every 3 months to write a dozen emails about this issue. I also vary my email adresses. Am not through my own emails adresses yet but I will probably create throwaway accounts about it too.Never stop the harassment.
>>18678161thanks for the suggestion>>18678319I bought a chambray shirt and a cotton knit sweater on sale from jpress. Overall quality was ok if they're on sale imo. I wouldn't pay full price. This is the best pic I have of them without having to get up.The shirt is mediocre honestly. A noticeable step down in construction and overall feel vs other more premium options. This is not their made in USA line, so I can't compare.The knit sweater is made in USA and has a good feel and construction to it, but sleeve sizing makes me feel like a wizard wearing it. I buy L sizes to fit my shoulders.
I was thinking of getting my first pair of flannel trousers. I wanted these mid-gray ones (middle ones) but they're sold out in my size. Thoughts on either of the other ones? (light grey or light brown).I'm thinking the light grey is too light and would have too much contrast for a lot of winter things. I have a fuckload of light khaki/stone/beige/sand/etc pants so the light brown could either fit right in to existing outfits or would just be worth it. I have some light grey chinos and never seem to use them since they're so light.It's 8% cashmere / 92% wool and 350g so I'm not sure if the durability would be an issue.
>>18684852>8% cashmereThat has got to be absolute bottom of the barrel cashmere they're putting in there. Better to go for 100% wool.
>>18681399why do they never bother with tidying their room before recording a video?
T.M. Lewin is doing a big end of season sale right now.100% wool jackets and blazers for around 200€.100% wool trousers for under 100€.Shirts for 40 and T-Shirts for 10.
>>18675743Why don't they ever list the lining materials? Do people not care about that so they don't bother? I think I'm going to join you.
What can I do for smart casual outside of work black shoes? Like black chelseas like these are too formal. I think maybe if the leather wasn't as shiny but still.It's for use with mostly chinos. Not for sports jackets or wool trousers, but maybe one that wouldn't look out of place there but one that is much more casual think light grey chinos or stone / some kinds of beige chinos + a long sleeve merino wool sweater poloSo what can I do? Horsebit loafers would be too effeminate / formal I think. Possibly pennyloafers too. I prefer my pennyloafers brown desu.The formal kind of cap-toes? Does that even make any sense?!!?Or one of those weird minimal leather sneakers?!It just seems to elevate the formality too much vs brown so what are the middle grounds?
Where do you get good (and not boring) cotton knitwear?
>>18688231wtf are you trying to say with the red lines?

i love the look of my penny loafers with chino trousers but they feel a little bit zesty when I wear them with shorts, so I usually just go barefoot or wear my birch CVOs if I need shoes.
>>18690600>so I usually just go barefootThe fuck? Wear sandals you fucking subhuman. Sandals are trad, classy and kino.
A curation of select snuff, chocolate, and sand suede shoecrafting from Alden is my endgame
Is there a simple basics guide for this style this general would recommend? I’m generally more of a hoodie/sweatpants guy but I just got hired for an office job so I need to look the part.
>>18693299I don't have an infographic, but some general guidelines for you.1) Don't do too much. Everything you add to your outfit carries the risk of detracting from it. Let the cut and color choice speak for itself and do not overload your outfit or clothes with gaudy details.2) Don't buy an entire wardrobe at once, but also never buy an item in isolation. Instead buy one outfit that you know looks good and enjoy wearing. If you wear it every week and look forward to wearing it then you know this way of dressing is for you and you can expand your wardrobe slowly. To start out you could buy a collared shirt, a fitting pair of pants and shoes.3) The closer a garment is to your body the lighter it should be both in fabric and in color.4) Don't wear sport socks when not doing sports. The color of the socks should match the pants or shoes.5) A dark jacket with light pants is easier to coordinate than the opposite, but both combinations work.6) Mixing the formality of the different items is very appealing because it can act as a slope to get out of your comfort zone, but it's difficult to pull off.7) Not every collared shirt is equal. If done right a shirt will look effortless and elevate every outfit without drawing attention to itself. To achieve this you shouldn't think of a shirt as anything different than a t-shirt of pullover. The fabric of the shirt has to be coordinated with the rest of the outfit. Don't wear a shiny fabric the like popeline with a rough fabric like denim or vice versa. If you want to wear jeans with your shirt you can try oxford weave. A button-down collar can make an oxford shirt even more casual but will also make it more difficult to coordinate with a jacket. Linen is a summer fabric and also inherently casual.
>>186934808) When standing with your arms hanging straight down the cuff of your shirt should cover your wrist and end close to the protruding bone close to the palm of your hand. When fully buttoned up the collar should touch the neck without causing any discomfort and tightness. After putting on a shirt raise your arms straight into the air and fold the excess fabric over your waistband. This will give you freedom of movement and make you look less uptight. when tucking in your shirt.9) For pants almost everything works but they have to fit the rest of the outfit. Choose a high or mid-rise. They should have a firm fit at the waist and buttocks and for the rest of the length fall in a straight, unbroken line to the ground with minimal contact to the body. Slight tapering is ok just don't overdo it. The more casual the pants are the more form fitting they can be without looking stupid. Depending on how much money you have to burn this will either be the most or least difficult to find, because of this you should be willing to compromise on quality. Don't be ashamed to check fast fashion stores. Classic mens outfitters operate on a very slow fashion cycle and many of them have yet to adapt to the renaissance of classic cuts offered in fast fashion. Cut and fit are everything so if you have to just bite the bullet. 10) Buy black or brown shoes. I could write more here but I'm tired of it.

>>18693485Feel free to make you own list or graphic
>>18693299there is usually a list of links etc. on the first post, but for some reason this thread does not have them. /r/navyblazer also has details and guides if you're interested.
>>18693299Are you sure it's a sport coat and trousers kind of office? Nowadays people will show up to the office in jeans and a t-shirt more often than not, unless they're in sales. Even so most offices seem to top out at "smart casual" dress code which is sneakers, chinos and a t-shirt or maybe a polo or shirt.

What are our thoughts on Grant Stone? Looking to cop pic rel for a summer loafer.
>>18688306>wtf are you trying to say with the red lines?v.s., as in versus, as in which one to choose? (or some other one)>>18688870>Do not wear black shoes with khaki chinos100% agree. I almost always wear brown shoes/boots. I am looking mostly for shoes/boots to wear with gray chinos/trousers mostly.>>18688872What kind of fit would you recommend for horsebit? I can get behind penny loafers easily, but for some reason tassel loafers always look goofy, even moreso in black. I guess it depends on your style. I assume regular leather? Could suede work? I almost never see suede black shoes since usually black = more formal and suede = less formal, but maybe it could help dress it down, or would it just look ridiculous? Also don't want the shoes to look too feminine.
Damn, this new J.Press look book is looking FIRE straight bussin fr fr
>>18674785Thoughts on the Houndstooth pattern? Seems like it only for women these days. I'm open to Puppytooth. Should I avoid tooth patterns altogether?
>>18696505they used to be a better, more expensive meermin but sitll cheaper than us and eu brands but as over the years they have increased prices to eu and us levels without increasing quality
>>18674785do jewlery companies even make these anymore

>>18698195It's two circles with a hinge. Go ask any smith or metalworker in your area. That's way more powerful than buying from some meme company.
>>18698195Well, I guarantee you don't live in my country but you can research 14ct gold lockets and probably deduce the higher quality ones from the rest. If you're looking for something more intricate and detailed that is going to be more difficult. Either try shop vintage or buy a locket and go to an engraver to get it custom

who makes good linen pants? preferrably not tapered or slim shit
>>18698246get custom mage from suitsupply. Remember to use horn buttons and unlined!
This Carly Simon Martha's Vineyard concert used to be on HBO all the time when I was little. Even then I thought the styles were gay. But you guys should love it. Those were probably among the richest kids in New England that would be at that event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9cidpLcPgA
>>18698263lined linen pants seems like a pretty silly idea
I generally have lurked these threads but not posted fits. Here is one I wear in colder months.>Kiton size 46 sweater (much too big for me. I like the intentionally baggy look)>Ralph Lauren flannel pants with Maroon color Husbands of Paris belt>Trickers of London penny loafersI maybe sometimes but a white scarf or white button down shirt under the Kiton.
>>18698927do you wear a cartier watch with that?
>>18699067I am that anon ; ) But serious answer, no I don’t because the sleeve length on the oversized sweater is too long. It would just cover the watch
>>18699067Here is a pic of both the sweater and watch for reference. I know the Kiton sweater is too large for me but I actually like how it drapes off of me. I got it new with tags still on it on some site like EBay iirc for a couple hundred dollars.
>>18676022what material is shirt like that? flax?
>wearing my """"100% cotton""" wrangler cowboy cut rigid denim>notice a tiny thread poking out, pull on it, it's elastic What recourse do we even have at this point? Writing a strongly worded email for their customer service AI to read?
>>18699921Those cost like 20 bucks what are you getting all uppity about, just don't buy from them anymore if you don't like it.
Maybe this is going to sound really spergy but how would you guys change how you dress to be more active throughout your normal day? I’m trying to go for walks and do greasing the groove workouts through the day but I’m going to be honest and say that it’s not exactly practical in an oxford and penny loafers. I’m starting to understand why everyone just wears sweatpants and hoodies everywhere all the time.
>>18690600What are these?
>>18697815Herringbone is the only pattern I like
>>18700387The price is irrelevant, it's a matter of incorrect/ false product descriptions. Your take is so dumb.Anyhow, this is the response I got :>We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.Upon reviewing the Rigid Wrangler® Cowboy Cut® Original Fit Jean, we can confirm that it is made of 100% heavyweight cotton with no stretch materials included.I guess I'll take their word for it and just assume that the elastic was cross contamination from the washing machine or something, as long as I don't find more threads sticking out. I hope they are telling the truth because I like these jeans a lot.
>>18700699Polo, rugby, sweater.Comfy roomy trousers.Classic models or vintage inspired sneakers. There are also sneakers loafers (adidas, converse), some better looking than others.
My mom dressed me, the thread
how would you style these herringbone trousers? I feel like the contrast is too much but maybe I just need some contrasting texture up top or what do I even do? it looks fine from a distance but up close it's too weird idk>>18700873what kind of herringbone? how do you deal with the above issue? or do you wear it with a textured jacket only? but what about for more casual jacket-less fits? or were you talking about jackets not trousers?
>walk into my office (which is supposedly "business casual") wearing an OCBD, khakis, and loafers>"why are you so dressed up anon", says my co-worker wearing an untucked oversized polo shirt, jeans, and Air Force 1s
>>18701107It's probably not 100% cotton. Textile mills can and do mix cheap plastic materials in their supposedly 100% cotton fabrics to increase profits, especially at the low end of the price spectrum. If the brand isn't thorough enough with their QC, which is very likely at this price point because QC costs money, they're probably "unknowingly" selling 100% cotton garments that actually have some polyester or whatever mixed in.
>>18698263>unironically recommending shitsupplyholy hell lmao
>>18702049Why not. Pure cotton/wool/linen, MTO/MTM sizes, horn buttons, unlined, large selection including herringbone etc.I would never buy shirts, sports jackets or even suits there. But the trousers are nice.
Any place do good seersucker? Especially short sleeved It feels like everything is just going pure linen and I hate ironing it

>>18700699>greasing the groove workouts through the daySweatpants for you monkey.
I've browsed this thread for years but I've never really understood why it's /tip/ and not /suit/It seems to pointlessly exclude a huge chunk of fashion that most of the members of this general obviously indulge in(that is, the guys posting their highrise linen pants, loafers, and sports jackets almost certainly wear peacoats, oxfords, and corduroys) but because the general is so heavily focussed on summer attire, the whole general dies out for 6 month at a time when it's too cold to wear linen.I think there's be alot more activity if the summers were dominated by tip wearers while the winters were dominated by vintage wearers
>>18703566>/tip/>heavily focused on summer attire???
>>18702008sounds likely especially considering these jeans cost $50
>>18701961i wore an oxford tucked into jeans and some loafers and got asked "do you have an interview? are you going to quit?"
>>18699272Yeah looks like a high grade linen.
What's the furthest you could reasonably dress down high-rise wool trousers like these?Obviously you could do a button-down shirt and a long-sleeve polo or a thin turtleneck which would look great, but what about lower?Tucked-in thin high-gauge merino crewneck?Can you go lower that that too?
>>18706491what do you mean by lower? also how is a shirt more casual than a sweater?
>>18706512lower on the formality scale. I was saying that a non-buttoned top (e.g. crewneck sweater) is *generally* less formal (more casual) than a button-up shirt IMO. Obviously there's a huge variety within a single one of those categories though.I've tried pairing it with short sleeves (e.g. short sleeve sweater polo) as well but it tends to look odd, but maybe that's just me. e.g. I think >>18701829 looks dumb (or maybe just too retro) but maybe it's just his choice of things.
>>18690035Linen/cotton trousers, but ones made especially for summer. The fabric is very thin and loose textured and the cut itself is loose. Invisible (loafer) socks, loafers, a shirt with the sleeves rolled up and first one/two buttons unbuttoned.
>>18693485Literally don't see a problem with it. All of the advice is generally true, albeit somewhat broad. No one is here to spoon feed though.
>>18700387>get defrauded>just deal with itFew people like to fight over trifles, but it's all getting too much because this kind of deceiving marketing is getting normalized. It's a death by a thousand papercuts when it happens literally half the time, I don't care if I buy 20 dollar clothes, after a while it gets infuriating. I paid the money you asked for, I want you to give me what you promised you would give me, simple as.
Brown belt/shoes, tan/khaki pants. What shirt colours are appropriate? I’m thinking polo shirts here.
>>18706491>>18706512>>18706527I tried again and I think knit short sleeve polos can work, but just barely. Anything without a collar (besides turtlenecks) just seemed too incongruent. Even the high-gauge crewnecks were a bit odd, but I think they could work in some situations.
>>18674847They are cool, but they don't really have a place.
>>18707238All
>>18703566Start a classic menswear general or something, though honestly "suit" these days is as much a figurative 4 letter word as it is literally one.

But, I'm glad I did. Because I love them.

Hows the blazer fitting me? I think the waist needs to be taken in a bit, sleeves too.
I start grad school at an ivy league in the Fall (no it's not Cornell). I am already getting invited to lawn parties with faculty and students. I don't have a single navy blazer, which I feel I would probably put to use. Do I bite the bullet and get one from jpress or should I go to jcrew or bonobos or something? Or would it be too on the nose?
>>18708670update: bought a jpress blazer with a discount code
>>18708658Needs refitting mate. It looks way too oversize for your body
>>18708658>>18708837The shoulders look fine (to me a least) which is the most important part and the hardest to change. Maybe it's a tad too long? Not exactly "way too overside" but it does look a bit long, but maybe it's also your proportions making it look longer proportionally since you have narrow shoulders. Curl your fingers and it should just barely touch the bottom whereas this looks like you've got an extra inch or so of fabric there. Try short sizes (e.g. 40s instead of 40r) or regular if it's e.g. 40L. Also hard to tell without a long sleeve shirt but I'm not sure if there would be enough cuff showing.
