Where can I buy Oxford shirts that don’t fit like garbage?

>>13660803
>we OPs always mess up the last thread at least once.

>>13711679
Kamakura (figure out whatever the slimmest fit is, it's Japanese brand), Eton slim fit, PRL slim fit.

>>13711674
Can spanishanons like myself pull off prep? I'm sort of in a loosewave terrorist look right now but I need to clean up since I'm graduating University this year to become a teacher

fall is almost here lads. time to really start dressing

gonna buy so many of these once they go on sale
>>13711689
even black people can. and some anon posted a Spanish site where you can buy Brooks Brothers withouth the regular European 40% markup, so check that out (i forgot the name of the site though, sorry).

>>13711681
Thanks for that.

>>13711689
Undoubtedly, I'm Greek and my staple style is prep. It's just a bit harder to pull of since the Mediterranean isn't exactly the coldest of places so we need to be more crafty with our fits. We can't get away with wearing sweaters over shirts all year. I can tell you what works for me if you want.

>>13711694
True that, I can finaly wear a jacket without sweating to death.

>>13711733
Please do. Warm weather fits are imperative here

>>13711698
I am the one who posted that, its El Corte Inglés, >>13711689 will know what it is.

>>13711698
when are sales?

>>13711689
In summer its easy: shorts, polo shirt and boat shoes/loafers
For university, sweater or shirt might be the best, I dont know what part of Spain are you from

>>13711674
What suit trousers you can recommend for daily usage? Should also fit with long sleeves and turtlenecks.

>>13711742
last year they did black friday sale (2x november) that, will probably be the soonest sale.
It is on endclothing, you can make a wishlist and when they go on sale you will get an e-mail.

>>13711681
Wait, bombers are preppy too?

>>13711762
it's a harrington

>>13711742
I have moved to Texas. It's my favorite state. It's even hotter here but ten milliom times more wet in the air

>>13711737
Well then I'll jump straight to summer.

Linen, fresco and merino are by far the best choices of fabrics for warm weather.

I like to think of linen as the summer equivalent to winter's flannel. Linen is light, airy and provides it's own texture and unique look to various colors. Linen trousers are my go to for summer. Linen shirts also look great albeit not very professional.

As for merino and frecso, both migh seem as odd choices since they are made of wool, however their weaving procces makes them great for summer since they are moisture wicking and also light. Fresco for the day and merino for the windy summer nights.

Tops: Long sleeved polos (I reccomend Kent Wang), thin sweaters and shirts, blue striped shirts are my favorite for summer.

Bottoms: Trousers in linen or fresco, bermuda shorts in linen look especially great due to the wrinkling that forms when sitting down and moving around.

Shoes: I wear penny loafers almost exclusively during summer for my preppy fits also exclusively in brown. I reccomend GH Bass or your fellow Spanish compatriots at Meermin.

Here's a personal example of my average summer fit from this past summer.

>>13711762
Yes, bombers can be preppy thanks to their association with varsity and letterman jackets.

>>13711744
You have to be a bit more specific.

>>13711762
It could be a Harrington. What is clear is that its suede

>>13711756
Where do they send products from? US or UK? Because the conversion rates of $ and € seems wrong. The same product in $ costs 160€ and in € 170€ with the same shipping. And I am also interested in tariffs, if it ships from UK I have no problem, if its from the US I have no pay 21% extra

>>13711770
Suit trousers in dark grey - black, something you can wear at work etc. Already wearing chinos, but want recently cop some suit trousers, pleated ones are fine too.

>>13711772
it is UK based, ships from UK. for US pricing they throw a bunch of tarrifs on the final price.
i'm Dutch so for me it is no problem (as long as no hard brexit). I buy all my Scottish made knitwear from there since it's often from the same place the US brands source their Scottish made knitwear withouth the huge mark up.

>>13711765
Try seersucker stuff when its too hot, Brooks Brothers sells them. I think its superior to linen since it doesnt look too bad once you get up of a seat

>>13711770
>merino
>warm weather

>>13711788
Well, the US price appears smaller for me than the EU one. 190$ in US version or 170€ in EU version, 190$ is 161€. How big are usually the sales?

I am used to Alan Paine knitwear for basics

>>13711744
The ones you posted. Light grey wool trousers are a fantastic wardrobe staple.

>>13711799
what exact country are you from? I'm from the netherlands, all the Fair Isles are 150 euros for me, plus shipping 9 euros.
but i'm getting used to getting fucked with prices in Europe. Atleast it is better than doing 100dollar=100euros like most brands do it.

>>13711698
sell me on this brand. why?

>>13711674
I honestly feel like we should change the general name to Americana/Ivy/Prep. Ivy and Prep is trad by default nowadays.

>>13711818
honestly, these were the cheapest made in Scotland fair isles i could find. that was my main reason.
Barbour has some cheaper ones but those are made in China (but they are supposedly also good, for 100 euros a piece I will wait and buy one when it is 25% or more off).

>>13711834
>cheapest made in Scotland fair isles
the quality of the wool is just good? they all look super comfy and the prices are reasonable enough when you compare it to jcrew, brooks brothers, etc.

>>13711831
Forgot to include a pic so here you go

is there a way to dress like this without looking try hard?

>>13711681
This is disgusting sloppy bullshit, I mean wallabees?

>>13711838
yes, they don't pill easily and are very thick. but keep in mind that it isn't merino wool or anything, and the look is very 'rustic' (dunno how to describe in English).

>>13711853
>and the look is very 'rustic'
sounds about right. thanks for the heads up. i'll probably pick one up to try out. been on the hunt for some new sweaters that have a more muted/rustic/understated look to them.

>>13711813
Spain, they are 155€ and then 15€ the shipping. But the US site seems to give both things for 161€, if they send if from the UK always, even for US site, I would save 9€ with the current conversion

>>13711838
They are probably better than JCrew with those prices

>>13711844
JFK outfits, it simple and works. George W Bush and his father might have some good and simple outfits too, since they are also Newenglanders

>>13711916
Example

>>13711707
KJP dad's closet pics are cheating.

>>13711831
Agreed.

>>13711844
Like >>13711916 said, older fits are the least "try hard" because no one was trying at all. "Prep" isn't today's wave of VV/frat attire, that's just a spin-off because fraternity life is traditionally Ivy. Too much pastel, not enough herringbone.

Found this on an old folder. Lets see who has more. Template

>>13711674
Leaf here, which puts me in peak climate for the jacket over sweater over shirt aesthetic. What are brands that I could keep an eye out for here, and brands that won't rape my monopoly money wallet?

PSA: Just bought a new grey flannel suit from J. Press (pic related) and it's the best suit I've ever owned. Going to be my go to from September-May for job interviews, weddings, funerals, etc. Switch out the jacket for a navy blazer and it'll work for church, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.

It's described as "trim-fit", however that is by J. Press standards, so I would say it's the equivalent of a regular fit suit elsewhere.

Also, if you get it in store like I did, J. Press has catalogs with coupons that discount $200 off a purchase of $1000 or more, $100 off $500, $50 off $250, and $20 of any accessory.

Core:

Oxford shirt (blue, white)
Chinos (khaki)
Shetland sweater (grey, navy)
Penny loafers (brown, black)

Start here.

this type of aesthetic is only interesting on japanese people, when white people wear this aesthetic i dont think its particularly interested or relevant in the context of fashion

>>13712238
Level 2:

Blazer (navy w/ brass buttons)
Sport coat (tweed)
Rep tie (navy and burgundy regimental stripe)
A good haircut
Confidence

Note:

>It's the current year
Factor in some contemporary elements, or else it's cosplay.

>>13712261
Level 3:

Actually wear the fucking clothes, because nothing screams prep-wannabe like squeaky clean Weejuns. Remember, god is in the details. Kids used to take sandpaper to their oxford collars.

>>13712261
Brown corduroy trousers is lvl 2

What are Fall/Winter prep/ivy fabrics or patterns? Interested in pants and sweaters. Also, what about suede boots?

>>13712278

>>13712279
True.

>>13712282
fair isle, shaggy dog, cable knit

>>13712238
Also worth mentioning that this is a good starting point for trad ladies. Maybe with the addition of a plaid skirt.

Are any of these suitable for the prep/ivy style? where to find shaggy dog in europe?

>>13712244
yeah but japanese look like shit in everything

>>13712307
it's suitable i suppose but i wouldn't buy those. for example the first one is 80 euros but still 26% polyamid, for that price only buy 100% wool ones.

I also live in Europe, some suggestions for knitwear:
https://www.endclothing.com/eu/barbour-case-fair-isle-crew-knit-mkn1027ny72.html Barbour fair isle, 105 euros (you can wait for sale if you want i usually only buy sale)
https://www.endclothing.com/eu/jamieson-s-of-shetland-fair-isle-crew-mk158-515-4.html
Jamieson made in Scotland fair isle, 145 euro
https://www.endclothing.com/eu/jamieson-s-of-shetland-crew-knit-mk838-323.html
Jamieson's crew, 115 euro, made in scotland
If you want more merino look, slimmer and thinner sweaters try brands such as William Lockie, John Smedley, Alan Paine, all made in Great Britain (price seems steep but they have sale often and good value for money).
it seems like you are spanish from your post, so for shirts you can look up Brooks Brothers on El Corte Inglés (milano fit if you are thin, regent or madison if you aren't, keep in mind it is an american brand so you most likely need milano). Also PRL (only buy them on sale though), Eton.
all this is available in Europe

>>13711770
W2c pants

>>13712244
you're missing the point entirely

>>13712307
>>13712374 and for shaggy dog style, check out Howlin , but very expensive. I wouldn't consider shaggy dog an essential, buy other basics first
>>13712282
For pants:
corduroy. It's slowly becoming a new meme so lots of brands carry it, Levi's, Brooks Brothers, Land's End
if it is really cold you can try flannel lined chinos, Brooks Brothers have them.
but if you live in spain just regular chinos with good socks will do. Socks are also important for the prep look, good patterned socks might be the hardest of all the prep things to get in Europe since most European brands don't carry nice patterned once and paying a shitton of shipping and/or markup for a pair of socks is kinda ridiculous.

>>13712374
Yes, I am Spanish, I was the one who told about BB in Corte Inglés in previous thread. I Also know Alan Paine, I have 2 wool sweaters from them (pic related), but they are thin and I wanted a chunkier knitwear to give variety todo muy wardrobe, thats why I was asking for those MD ones. Barbour Fair Isle or Jamieson FairIsle's are thick? They do look good

>>13712403
Jamieson's is very thick. I don't own Barbour one yet, when it goes on sale I'm gonna buy it, but I doubt it is as thick.

>>13712396
>but if you live in spain just regular chinos with good socks will do.
Not really, not all is sun here. my region has an average of 80% humidity and during the winter is around 0-10 ºC. I´ll try corduroys.

About socks, there are plenty spanish brands with embroidered socks: pinneaples, anchors, kiwis, avocados... Those might fit in the prep style. I can give links if you want. But there are no fair isle kind of patterned socks

>>13712344
keep telling yourself that mongrel cuck

>>13711799
Based from empirical evidence it's the best for those summer nights where it's a bit windier.

>>13712377
Thrifted, sorry man.

I'll post some of Hiroshi Watatani's illustrations.

can't wait to buy the trim green
Where can a skinny guy like me (29x32) find high waisted trousers?

>>13712278
lol I am in the process of gluing my weejuns heel back on, the shoes are probably a decade old.
Remember, you're not prep till you've showered in your loafers

>>13712671
oooooh, must have hit a nerve!

>>13713092
first, you might find this useful: http://oxfordclothbuttondown.com/2018/09/chinos-went/
moving on from that, jack donnelly's name comes up a lot for slim-fit chinos with a decent rise, but i can't speak for them. i personally wear orvis' trim fit chinos because a full-on slim fit looks pretty silly on a guy who lifts.

>>13713092
Would be very interested to hear about how one of those fits. Not interested in a skinny fit, but a little less baggy than the classic Shaggy Dog would be nice.

>>13713136
Tbh the worst part about J. Press is that they provide little to no information on sizing. Based on other menswear brands, though, trim is probably just a few steps removed from the boomer fit.

>>13713136
>>13713142
'trim is between BBs milano and regent fit' from some review I found online

Thanks OP, I was the anon in the other thread asking why there hasn't been a general in a while.
Anyways it's going to start snow in my area pretty soon, and I'm pretty light on prep outerwear. You guys have any recommended items i should get? It snows a lot and can get pretty windy, but temp doesn't drop incredible low.

>>13713202
I too am looking for a new jacket
I've been considering a navy duffel, m65, or a harrington. Considering olive too

>>13713224
w2c this bad boy

>>13713278
http://www.fivepointfox.com/2012/12/santas-little-helper.html
according to this, it's a barbour jacket, specifically a corbridge. i can't find that specific color (looks nice navy) though.

>>13713202
A waxed jacket would probably work for you. They're great for fall, spring, and (with layering) winter.
Pic related provides a good overview of your options in any case, but please don't get a fucking trench coat.

>>13713119
W2c?

>>13713092
I do t know what coulour to get

>>13713656
navy is the safest color
it's like a white or blue ocbd: you literally can't go wrong

>>13713697
fuck off navy is the most boring color jumper you could get.
Be bold anon, buy something bright
>>13713653
GH bass weejuns

>>13713202
You're welcome man, my go to heavy winter prep piece is a duffle coat. A proper lenght one. Not too tight but not extremely roomy either like in the case of Monty. A grey one is very versatile, get one in full wool, I don't think you need an extra liner.

>>13713656
I have sweaters in all of the colors you posted, while they are all versatile bottle green is by far the most interesting.

>>13713656
Pink

>>13713092
Take a look at gurkha trousers, they are mostly all high waisted, here you have a guide about gurkha shorts, but you can find long ones too.
https://streetxsprezza.wordpress.com/2017/06/22/changing-it-up-with-gurkha-shorts/

>>13713448
>http://www.fivepointfox.com/
That site should be added to the OP

>>13713202
Duffel coat, waxed cotton or peacoat might be the best options.

>>13713656
Basics: Cream, Grey, Bottle Green, Navy, Beige
Options: Breton red, pink, yellow, orange

>>13714198
W2c full wool duffle. Most of them are blended now it seems

>>13714263
Brooks Brothers has one, but they are expensive. You might be able to find cheaper ones, with 60% or more of wool I would say its enough

>>13713224
>>13714198
>>13714230
>>13714263
I would advise against duffel and peacoats. There's something about them that looks stuffy and old-fashioned. It's also worth mentioning that without a sturdy physique, they won't look right.

Instead I recommend looking into army surplus items. My favorite being a US Navy N-1 jacket from WW2 (pic related). A lot of companies make good reproductions.

>>13714389
peacoats are fedora-tier

>>13714389

>>13713744
come on man, this is like telling a guy that his first pair of shorts should be salmon colored
you get basics when starting a wardrobe, and only then so you move beyond

>>13714488
But would you consider a shaggy a basic piece in a prep wardrobe?

>>13714389
Duffles are goat. Peacoats are shit.

>>13711770
w2c pants? or at least what should i look for specifically if i want the closest thing. that fit looks really good.

>>13711790
What are those type of shoes called?

>>13714488
>this is like telling a guy that his first pair of shorts should be salmon colored
Salmon shorts are the ultimate shorts. Basic shorts are khaki, salmon and navy/blue, the rest come later

who cares, if you wore a diving suit it wouldn't magicaly become a faggot suit, it would just be a diving suit with a faggot in it.

>>13714835
Just because Paul Newman is wearing it doesn't make it prep you fucking dunce. Answer his question, how is that photo prep in any way?
Here's a tip: it's fucking not.
About milsurp being quintessential prep/ivy, that is hardly true except for a few coats that hardly qualify as milsurp anymore since they haven't been used by any army for the last century or so and became fashion items ie trench, duffle, or pea coats, khakis

>>13714854
can you fuck off and fap to your plastic 'waifu' whores you virgin freak?

>>13711744
Yoox has loads of stuff. Research the brand on different sites then buy on yoox. I recently got some nice flannel trousers.

>>13712286
hate those collars with visible buttons

>>13714863
>chambray shirt
Whats the consensus on this?

>>13714835
Paul Newman is a single individual than carry dress stuff from all styles, like any other. Military surplus has nothing to do with prep/ivy styles, although some items, cloths and patterns might come from the military, but thats the case for everything.

>>13714869

these boring "ivy" clothes have nothing to do with fashion, sorry not sorry

cosplay of 50+ years ago

>>13714563
Thank you, as I said they are thrifted without any tags, possibly a bespoke order so I can't rightly know. However the color is navy, the fabric is fresco, they are high waisted, double pleated and cuffed (5cm cuff). These are the details you should look for.

>>13714943
no of course, larping as a '70s American manual labourer or larping as the bloke from Watch Dogs is true fashion, japanese are so much more advanced than us.
oh so sorry japan-san, i have seen the true fashion light, i will pray to my dakaimura this evening

>>13714964

uncultured simpleton. The outfit in >>13714827 is a subtle reference to the naturalist aesthetic of Gustave Courbet.
Note how the fur on the overcoat lapels represent the pubic hair, soft curves of the lining peeking out represents the labia minora and the opening of the suit jacket corresponds to the entrance of the vaginal canal. The man's smiling head, the centre of stimulus, manifests the clitoris.

If trad really just boils down to nice loafers/OCBD/sweater why do I feel so overdressed when I wear it?

>>13715936
Context matters. You will be overdressed in that at a bar, but not at lunch at a mid tier restaurant.

>>13715936
That's not all trad boils down to. Regardless my solution is to swap one component of that out for something non trad/prep. So for example you could do white sneakers instead of loafers or loafers and a ocbd without the sweater. Try it.

>>13713202
Don't go for casual shit like >>13714198

You need an overcoat in a thick tweed
like pic

>>13715141
did you hang your sweater? hanging sweaters can cause them to stretch you should fold them

>>13715936
>why do I feel so overdressed when I wear it
Beta behaviour. Maybe you should just wear sweatpants, knit sneakers and an oversized sweatshirt so you fit in with the basedfolk?

Really though, if you feel overdressed wearing that then its because you don't think highly enough of yourself and you should think of people who dress too casually as inferior

>If trad really just boils down to nice loafers/OCBD/sweater

That's more basic prep and that specific combo is associated with annoying dudebros.

What other colors would you consider as being essential and iconic prep/ivy colors?

>>13711831
>I honestly feel like we should change the general name to Americana/Ivy/Prep. Ivy and Prep is trad by default nowadays.
Wouldn't the title be be Trad/Americana then?

I understand the trad part to be more of an anglo-influenced classic trad without the relaxed, playful bordering on goofy feel of prep, e.g. trad would be a three piece tweed suit with a hunting tie.

You can make out his calves. They're too tight. When he takes those boots off and wears a different pair of shoes, his trousers are going to have 0 drape and they're going to continue to look like sweat pants.

Is there a blog/guide like these for women? My sister wants to dress more properly, she has some great fits already but wants to get into it completely- but she finds it hard to start.

If there are no blogs/grams/anything, could you perhaps help and name some girl essentials, as the blue/white oxford shirt is for male?

She has great chelsea boots for the fall, what else is there?

Thanks lots

I'm in the same boat, but just a bit bigger overall. Whenever i wear sweaters I'm usually the most dressed up person there so i feel like people respect the effort. Besides, sweaters are meant to be cozy not tight.

Fuck me this looks so good but I don't know where I would wear this and not look like a tryhard. The best bet would be at the literary circle but it's full of hoodie college little schmucks and trashy "I'm not like other girls" girls so it would feel like wasting the outfit. I'm thinking of just wearing something like this, casually walk around town and stop by a coffee shop to read my book and pretend I'm important.

People who dress this way think they look so good but they all look like prematurely aged Little Lord Fauntleroys on a yachting trip.

>>13720486
No, I mean I really don't where I could casually wear something like this. On my way to work? I'm in the car. When I walk around the park after work? In the rare occasions I'm having dinner in town? Suddenly the world seems very small, a day seems very short and I don't know why would I bother with anything else than the bare minimum to get to work (I wear change clothes at work, medical laboratory and all that), and my gym clothes.

>>13720491
Part of being stylish is wearing what's appropriate. What you think looks good and really does look good may look weird on you because you aren't living that life so it just doesn't work. If you're already a person with style then wearing something stylish like that comes naturally. Clothes still function like a social uniform, so if you live a normie lifestyle don't expect to be able to pull off non-normie clothes let's be real.

>>13718330
if you always liked preppy and menswear you owe it to yourself to try stuff out. maybe focus on one item you want and try it out and see if its worth it. for me it was nice leather shoes. maybe for you its shoes, or pants. or a jacket thats a bit more trad style. do what works for you but always try shit out if you find yourself appreciating it from afar
there are a lot of really subtle dark colored clothes out there. maybe only work with a couple colors you like. for me its navy, gray, white, or earth tones. its not all bright yellow pink and blue striped garbage.

i don't see the issue. burgundy is a great color.

>>13726549
It is, but not for shirts. Jackets, vests, pants, ties, socks, gloves everything but shirts since it's a dark color and hard to combine with a jacket when it's a shirt. A good rule of thumb is that a shirt should have, at the very least, a mild contrast with the jacket with the shirt being of a lighter color than the jacket, thus why white and light blue shirts are very popular, they are easy to combine and provide a good contrast most of the time.

>>13726702

solid point.

on another note, i picked up the preppy handbook for a fiver and it's actually a pretty fun read. a lot of this is common sense but it's neat to pickup on some bits & read about the hangouts for various cities. Many are still around which is surprising.

>>13725786
This is a nice tie, even a great one, but that shirt is like eating poison.

Also the colors of the shirt and coat actively ruin the aesthetic of the tie, you don't want to have the same fucking shades recurring in every piece. Wear that tie with a white shirt and a green or brown tweed sportcoat and it'll be murder though.

>>13716325

This is a bespoke piece from Tailor Caid in Japan. I think its 4000-ish but you can get a similar bespoke coat made by HK or Shenzhen tailors for 170-500 with the same fabric. Once you go bespoke you can't go back. Alternatively, you can get a Coherence coat off the rack for about 1000 at the armoury which is really nice too

As a general rule, you only want pattern on one piece of clothing, either shirt or tie.

In this particular cae, since the pattern of the shirt is so subtle, it could work.

I'm guessing your going for a retro look with those, though.

>>13730506
you can, and should, add anything you want. it's not a larp, you're not playing dress up.
though keep in mind that prep is a well refined easy style and that certain things you add might not look good.
things that aren't prep but i feel like go with prep are turtle necks, British heritage wear, for the summer riviera style, in the winter Italian menswear, linen shirts in the summer, tennis sneakers sometimes.
just only wear it if you really think it is good, prep is just a style not a dress up convention

Exactly this. Its a set of conventions and attitudes to clothing. Its not a prescription. Relaxed fits. Old heritage stuff, patterned but sparingly, crinkled and somewhat sporty, natural fabrics. What makes some of the fits in take ivy so cool is the unfussy nature of it all. Hair is natural. It helps if you work out a bit as well. best prep fits epitomise American sprezz.
