How did guys wear suits in the summer in the 60s? Linen suits are barely wearable in the heat, but anything lined seems like a death sentence, even if it's just lining in the arms
>>18752864The materials were Linen plus weather wasnt the same before global warming.
>>18752864Tropical wool jackets
>>18752864man's not hot
>https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-footwear-shoes/heritage-court-ii-leather-sneaker/0075393777.html?utm_source=organiccse&utm_medium=GooglePLAI want shoes similar to this to wear with jeans, any suggestions? >Why not just get these?A lot of my other stuff is polo
>>18752864Seersucker cotton and especially linen feels exactly like being naked. You can easily skip the jacket on the hottest days.
I got a guy who can make me jackets out of near anything I’d like. The question is, single or double vent?
>>187528641920s style summer suit - the material on the coat seems a bit thick but notice all the foundation garments are linen.
>>18756710double is kino
>>18752864Summer gloves
>>18752864all about the material. Linen shirts breathe rather easily. I am quite partial to The Row's Men's Summer 2026 line as they use that material incorporated into the style.
>>18752864
>>18756743Why? With a double vent the jacket can’t spread so don’t you end up sitting on it?
>>18752741Autumn/Winter is coming. Anons please talk me out of buying this harris tweed coat before I'm stupid enough to buy it.
>>18756710Double vent is considered classier as it doesn't "fishtail" (when the single vent spreads and shows your ass)
>>18757142are you 45-50 and look like this model?if so, cop if you're in your 20's... don't.
>>18757145Believe it or not I actually am a 48 white guy with mostly gray hair but I don't have this models looks. Still cop?
Is the quality really that bad?They used to make really good chinos.
>>18757153cop
I'm not a Trad/Ivy/Prep guy and I don't have a blazer in my wardrobe at the moment but want one, looking at Kamakura's site at the moment >wool, cotton, linen, etc>2 button, 3 button>structured, unstructured>blue, black, brown, etcWtf do I get
>>18757170Assuming you live somewhere with a non-tropical climate and have cooler seasons: Wool + 2 button + unstructured + blue = classic first blazer.
>>18756747Sadly no one seems to make voile shirts anymore which are arguably even better. I have a 30s/40s era arrow tuxedo shirt with a body made of voile fabric and it lets me keep cool even with a heavy weight wool barathea tuxedo jacket more suited to winter than summer. Can only imagine if I actually went and made the jacket in summer weight. Only downside is you can't take off your jacket or you look pretty naked.
>>18756710I prefer no vent
>>18756743>>18757144Damn. My first jacket, which just arrived, is single vent because I didn’t really think when he asked me. I know this isn’t really trad or ivy or prep but I have no idea what style category it belongs to. It’s made out of two different kimonos. I suppose it’s not possible to tailor a jacket into double-vent, is it?
>>18757243You can change it if there is no lining over the vents, but it will look weird. In your case it may be doable if you find similar fabrics. Good luck finding a tailor who wants to do it
>>18757246How much fabric would be needed? My tailor did include a small bit of it, maybe just a 2x6 strip
>>18757243Most people who go to the circus won't care whether your jacket is single- or double-vent. They're just there to have a good time.
>>18757284you need at least 2x6 for extension of the side part, on both sides. This is the one that sits under the back panels and will be visible when the vents open. Ideally, you'd also have the same amount also on the inner side, where it connects to the back panel. So you'd need 4 such strips. Closing the existing single vent should be possible. You cannot take the material from there and use it for the side vents, without it looking strange. My suggestion would be to get a very similarly fabric, maybe even just a plain red one, just for the vents. Best discuss it with the alterations tailor. They will probably decline it, mostly because adding the vents there is a non-standard operation for them and they usually want easy and fast work. Second, even if they can do a vent in such a way the result may look strange and leave you dissatisfied, so that's also a risk for them.
Bought myself a Barbour from the 90s.As expected, it smells old, like an old book or a crayon... It's not a particularly bad smell, but it's not something you'd want to smell like.I wonder if there's a candle, incense or something that smells like that because I keep sniffing it like a drug addict.
>>18757467>waxed jacket smells of wax
>>18757657yes, very good observationbut it's not the same smell of a wax candle
I was browsing this one website for clothing and this dude is literally wearing panties? A g-string?
>>18752741What type of women are attracted to /tip/?
>>18759596Any. You guys gotta be handsome, rich, and funny.
Where can I find some olive chinos in Europe for under 200 eurobux?
>>18759826C&A has them for 30 or 35 euros, but the pockets are a little shallow
>>18759831And rise too lowWould that it were so easy
>>18752864everybody else is wrongthey simply got used to being hot
this is your aura
im so damn sartorial
>>18757243wow this is hideous
>>18760497Talk shit post fit
>>18757467John Barbour
>>18760494He's got a good looking tuxedo.
>>18758099Thongs unironically makes your butt look really nice and tight since they lift the inner cheeks up while keeping your package compact.That's why they were originally invented, to make your ass look nice even while wearing normal pants over them.
>>18758099Has to just be an unfortunate crease on the left and caused by the pocket on the right, no?
I wish we could talk about socioeconomic class dynamics on these threadsNot in a commie way but in an anthropologist way
Why do I feel so self conscious walking around in a blazer even though I'm fit and used to seeing anime characters in school uniforms?
>>18759826made in europe those don't exist outside of salesI remember bronson mfg having some cheap trousers but their sizing is finnicky and returns are difficult
>>18761822And they're made for gook midgets
>>18761757It's because you're not used to wearing it
>>18752741Today’s trad outfit is a Uniqlo button down shirt with a vintage 1940s Elsa Schiaparelli orange and white silk tie with white chinos and George cox Chelsea boots. The brown frock coat is from Loch Hart, a Scottish brand and the other accessories are a black Varzar flatcap and a Cartier wristwatch to put the whole thing together.
>>18762134are the stripes acutally little bumps or is it just an illusion thanks to the black lines?
>>18752741From left to right:>George Cox’s Chelsea boots>Varzar flatcap>Schiaperelli necktie>Cartier Tank wristwatch>Loch Hart frock coat This is definitely a more turn of the century - 20s inspired outfit.
>>18762143It’s an illusion to appear that way. Schiaparelli was at one time Coco Chanel’s main rival and she experimented with avant- grade designs like that which play with illusion and perception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsa_Schiaparelli
I need some beater shoes that are fast to take on and off for casual wear for both summer and winterThinking white canvas sneakers with elastic laces for summer and some kind of Chelsea style rain boot for winter Thoughts?
>>18763783I mean yeah either a sneaker or a loafer for summerand then for winter a boot of your choosing adjusted for the weather you experience
Wow, these are so very pretty, they remind me of titanfall 2 skins actually and I cannot decide which one I like the most
>>18761757It's because you think about anime characters and the chud version of you wearing it, instead of the impressions of people you don't know who see you without that bias toward the impression you're making by being dressed well or behaving well. As practice, run some errands for yourself while being dressed better than average + haircut. I did it to get a library card and groceries, and the front desk was more courteous than other people they dealt with.
>Yeah I shop at JPress, how could you tell?
>>18766162People just dress so fucking bad 99% of the time that the only time I ever feel comfortable dressed up when running errands is if I just left work.
>>18752864Its no big deal when there was no AC anywhere, and a 35 year old full grown adult man was employed as a stupid bitch delivering bottles of milk but could afford to buy 100% natural material tailored to his liking, and have a stay at home slave/broodmare handwash everything.
>>18752864It wasn't as hot in the 60s despite how much maga climate deniers will screech and scream otherwise
Anyone here owner JM Weston loafers? Specifically the 180?Trying to decide between those or cordovan Crockett and Jones Harvards
Hopping on the loafer bandwagon... How/when do I wear a penny loafer? I understand that it's supposed to be a casual shoe, but so far I only have very casual loafers. The penny loafer seems to be somewhat in the middle between this and a more formal dress shoe, so I'm sorta lost.
Grey marketers tongue my anus. Nobody thinks your whiskey and cigar is classy or sexy.
>>18766550I just wore my alden LHS color 8 shell everywhere with anything. Eventually I found a pair of norwegian split toe in the same color and material on sale, and now I rotate between those two. Not much to think about, people were dumber shit everyday.
>>18766550loafers replace sneakers and will always work as long as you have a shirt up topthey are also more casual and comfortable than a pair of derbies or brogues
>>18752741I'm looking to replace my entire wardrobe in the next year or two because I've been wearing the same clothing for a decade or so.I haven't noticed up until this point because I'm a working professional that's been kicked from job to job and nobody has given a fuck. Now I am beginning to care and I want to reduce and replace my wardrobe.How much money should I be expecting to spend? I am a "young" professional entering early middle age and I want to look my age with dignity. I can get away with my current wardrobe at my job, but I want to be able to go nice places and do nice things without worrying about being underdressed. I'm going to work more on fitness for the time being and address clothing later, but I want to think about it so that when the time comes I can work with confidence, probably shedding my oldest clothing and picking out styles I like before sloughing off the excess and committing to the new style.Part of me has always wanted to wear vests every day to work, but I know that it might be more trouble than it's worth and the people I work with would find it irritating. I practically overdress as it is. If it comes down to just setting up a small wardrobe of nice weekend clothing and using blase inoffensive weekday clothing, that would probably work.
Tell me if this is a stupid idea. So I was in a wedding the other day and the bride wanted the guys to do this funky rosebud knot. Took forever, had like zero margin of error because you're working with the thin end instead of the thick one so you really need to give yourself room from the start. The guys with fat necks were borderline Donkey Kong. I looked around a bit and there's a couple other showoffy knots that are like that. Would it be ridiculous to have the Chinese make a tie with a few extra inches just on the short part but otherwise the same for the next time the wife wants me to do some origami shit, or should I just git gud?
>>18766550Friend's pic from 2018, this is a good exampleAlso rate his fit
>>18767869>needing anything more than the four-in-hand
>>18768143Those are tassels, not pennies.Still great
I quite like the JPress GTH coat
Trickers has a new loafer which is obviously their attempt to get some of the Alden/Crockett and Jones market What do we think? I like it but wonder if the toe is just a tad too narrow
This outfit from Federico Felini’s Amarcord (actor: Luigi Rossi) is the perfect sprezzetura fit done right. Though set in the 1930s, the watch, ascot, flatcap and shirt are all unmistakable 1970s sprezz.
>>18768815Are you retarded? That's merely Abissinian fashion, Saharian fit for the civil servant.
>>18768143Is that the old fart who ran USA for some time?
>>18752741Is this the Saar general?
>>18768979Yep.
>>18768958Yeah he ran the US for a year or two>ran as a moderate in 2020 who could end political polarization>runs the government as a progressive once elected and does everything he can to increase polarization further>gets hardcore dementia sometime around 2022, lets his aides run the government for him>decides in 2024 that he's going to renege on his promise to be a 1-term president, attempts to run again>stays in the race until it is obvious to literally everyone that he is too senile to hold office>puts a deeply unpopular VP as the democratic nominee without a primary because of her race and gender>in 2025 it's revealed that he has a severe form of prostate cancer, so he was literally attempting to die in officeI will genuinely celebrate when he dies. He did everything possible to make the world a worse place and is directly responsible for Trump 2.0The bar for him to be remembered as a good president was so low and he still managed to not even come close
>>18766345Charlie is /tip/ officially
How do you feel about hybrid sneaker/dress shoes?
>>18769149Worst of both
>>18769149Worst thing to happen
>>18769149>low rise>skinny fitYou should KYS yourself just for wearing chinos like that, let alone those hybrid abominations on your feet.
>>18769034When my friend sent that pic he said "he looks dead"We couldn't believe that he ran in 2020
>>18769149These will never be effay
>>18769273
The start of September so time for a new trad outfit>old navy shirt>ralph Lauren pants>truckers loafers>paul Hewitt anchor bracelet>cartier tank>kula tactical Z hat
>>18769149It’s making two good things into one shitty thing.
>>18769427flamingalso clean the cum stains off your damn mirror
>>18769427please visit the gym regularly and get rid of the faggy capI am not a fan of baseball caps or trucker caps but if you are going to wear one at least get a quality one without a logo
>>18769432The logo is Z for support of the SMO in Donetsk.

Mmmmyesss these Nantucket Reds have me feeling most refined
Is the Northumbria the solution to Scandinavian winters?
>>18752741
>>18769574guess you went a little foot loose there?
>>18769574Uhhh what happened to your feet, fren?
>>18770029Loafers too tight, double amputation. It's more common than you'd think.
i own a houndstooth harris tweed sports coat which i love. it is quite heavy and too warm for a big portion of the year. what material should i look for a year round sports coat? i'd like some texture
>>18769433your physique is weak and soft, none of your clothes fit, your watch doesn't work, your hairline is bad, and nobody cares what wars you do or don't support
Does anybody daily a tweed coat in winter? If you live somewhere with a similar climate to Ireland (where I live) how does it handle what the weather throws at it? Wind? Rain?
>>18771775Yes, I have the Berg&Berg tweed Nelson (not Nelson II), I think it's 600gsm ish with viscose lining.Tweed is loosely woven so it lets wind through very easily. Maybe not if the lining is poly. You'd need to wear a windproof layer underneath. At around -15C coat + shetland sweater + shirt is not enough and I'm thinking about buying maybe a jacket liner or sth like Patagonia Nanopuff/thin Uniqlo Puffertech.Turns out there is a reason somebody invented boiled wool, ventile and moleskin. With European winters I don't think you'd get many occasions to wear say a 900gsm boiled wool coat.
>>18768143old Joe's brain is completely mush but he did know how to dress, or at least his stylists did a good jobtrump is the complete opposite and looks bad in everything he wears
>>18769034the funny thing is they are still trying to claim he was "one of the best ever" for beating trump and "saving" us from him
Which way, white man?
>>18772153Weston
>>18771248
>>18772135>"saving" us from himYeah they "saved" us from Trump 1.0, radicalized him, and brought him back for 2.0
>>18769978Im considering dropping fin and min to jack nicholson-maxx
>>18769427You look great. Don’t listen to the cockroaches. Remember this board is composed of 49% pic related and 49% troons with striped stockings.
>>18772133Idk what you’re talking about, that fit is dogshit.
I've put on alot of weight recently and now all my clothes are too tight to be comfortable. Should I get them altered to fit, or should I just ditch dressing /tip/ entirely until I manage to lose weight? On one hand, looking good makes you feelt good, and feeling good puts you in a better position to take control of your life.But on the other hand, adjusting clothes is a pain, and fat people don't like good in general so it might be just a waste of time and I should just wear sweatpants.
>>18757285lmao
>>18772074Thanks, I'll just buy a big ugly parka then.
Bought a vintage gunclub tweed jacket. Was thinking of wearing it with jeans, loafers and a white ocbd.
>>18772395Why not the humble duffle?
I bought this shooting coat today. William Evans, made in England. It was a super good deal and I’m sure it’ll be great in the winter. I’m on the fence about what kind of work it will need to better fit me. I’m thinking I’ll definitely have the arms brought in. Do you guys think it’s too long as is? It sits maybe 75% down my thigh.
>>18772153>which way Weston manThe answer is obvious
How well do some Oxfords work with jeans?>https://www.redwingshoes.com/mens/heritage/weekender/weekender-oxford-03604.html?currency=USDI was looking at these since they're a more 'casual' style which I likeI wear lightwash blue jeans fwiw
>>18772230Thank you friend. I have more trad outfits to post but posting files is blocked right now.
Any brits and japs heredoes samurai hate court nobility/royaltydoes landed gentry hate royals and peerage
>>18773631that is not an oxford shoe, even if they call it that. it's more like a hyper casual derby shoe
>>18772153I don't get it man why do men want to show feet in ballerina shoes is it not kinda of gay?
>>18774113this was probably a lot funnier in your head
>>18773631those aren't oxfords. there is literally nothing formal or dressy or nice about those shoes. those are explicitly meant for jeans
i like ocbds but not really thick ones. i like mine thinnerwho makes good quality ones that are thinner and don't get as hot?
>>18772776the coat fits as intended, altering it will make it look worse
