why is it called trad when most of this clothing subculture is post-industrial?

>>14125687
What do you mean by post industrial?

Anyone tried Undandy? They make MTO shoes in Poortugal and most of their customer's creations are gaudy royal blue and golden patent leather atrocities for Indians and middle eastern dudes.
Yet the thought of ordering a pair of blake stitched shoes that you can configure yourself for 200 petrodollars is alluring, ngl.

>>14125655
Gloves, do you usually wear them when its cold?

I wear sometimes wool mittens and others wool gloves, only when its extremely cold

>>14126632
I have some light gloves that I usually use for camping that I break out if it's really cold outside. Usually sticking my hands in my pockets is enough warmth.

Who likes white cardigans? Ultimate white person clothing. I own two, but one's too short, and the other's too baggy. They work with both collared shirts and white tees.

Is cable knit superior to other types?

Where can I get a white cardigan in size Small Tall or Medium Tall?

>>14126668
>cardigan
>Tshirt

That's a bad look anon. A cardigan is basically an extension of a blazer and should be treated as such.

Anyone have any ideas for a business casual black belt? Just something to wear with slack and black derbies? I can't find anything that I really like.

>>14126772
>A cardigan is basically an extension of a blazer and should be treated as such.
But cardigans are informal clothing, whereas blazers can be used at formal events. I dont see the problem with putting a tshirt below the cardigans

>>14126668

Aran Sweater Market

anyone have shorts+sweater inspo?

Where can I get a white linen sport coat for the summer?

>>14126966
theres a pic of the kennedys wearing shorts and sweaters

Is Bill's Khakis good? Where does /prep/ get their chinos? Bonus points if they have a range of colors and maybe some linen or other light summer pants.

I know trad and frugality don't really go together but are there any quality oxford button downs with collar roll around $100 USD? as a canadian my dollar has limited purchasing power so brands like mercer&sons become pretty expensive when duties are considered, should I just go vintage?

>>14127047
bills are the gold standard imo, but I wear banana republic emerson chinos bc they are in my price range

I need inspo for southern prep. It already in the 70s here.

Is there such a thing as female prep? What kind of girls does a male prep like?

>>14126966
Based brown cords. Glad there is still snow left so they usable.

>>14127160
>Is there such a thing as female prep?
yep. try reading the preppy handbook, it has a big section on female clothing
a lot of the basics are similar to male, but usually with a skirt instead of pants (although chinos on women can look good too as long as they arent skintight, i'd mostly avoid jeans if i were you).
black clothing for women for women is very accepted compared to men but i dont really like it, i live in a preppy town and the girls often wear black and i dont really like it
>What kind of girls does a male prep like?
i like a wide variety of girls, not necessarily preppy girls but i like girls who wear a lot of skirts and dresses and girls who avoid sneakers

>>14127248
wrong pic sorry
i also assumed you ment clothing style when you asked what type of girl

>>14127047

Bonobos or Brooks Brothers

For me it's Francois Truffaut

>>14127096
going vintage is very prep trad indeed!

>>14126632
Tbh still have my great grandpa’s old leather gloves. They are super comfy but a bit bulky.

>>14125655
I have posted it before but here is the definitive brands list. Left is most authentic right is most fake prep. Sorry for cut off image.

>>14127096
Trad and frugality most definitely go together. Conspicuous consumption is for the nouveau riche.

>>14127515
This is way too absolutist and subjective. It's basically just the opinion of whoever made the graph.

those ll bean meme boots are currently on sale $119 cad

>>14127047
I get my chinos from Brooks Brothers and Massimo Dutti. I also have an old Zara one that has 6 years and had a good result with it

>>14127251
people here look very old

>>14127738
not insulated tho so you might freeze your toes off

>>14127832
I've worn these desert boots all winter, just wear insulated socks.

>>14127220
im sure it was comfy at one point but honestly its hard to see any university as anything other than an expensive rubber stamp these days

>>14127515
dont agree and barely any idea how to read it but i admire the amount of autism it takes to make graphs recreationally

>>14125687
Traditional doesn't mean dressing like a French Noble

>>14126919
>But cardigans are informal clothing, whereas blazers can be used at formal events. I dont see the problem with putting a tshirt below the cardigans
This is my thinking.

>>14127096
Trad/prep and frugality go together like cheese and crackers. It's not strange to see chinos with sewn rips, boat shoes with restitching, and patched cardigans worn at home. Brands do have meaning within the prep sphere, but there's no Gucci, or visible labeling. Subtly is key.

>>14127160
You've gotten a good reply, and consider this- gender norms in terms of clothing were not stone set amongst the richest people, that's a religious-cultural norm among poorer people. It's not unhear of for sisters to wear their brothers hand-me-downs, or for girls to were their boyfriends clothes. Picture chinos with VERY hemmed cuffs, oversized coats, and men's dress shirts. Equestian wear was also common. [but please don't do those sports, horse cruelty is the norm]

>>14128000
>>14126919
A tshirt orginated as underwear, not outer wear. It wasn't until the post war era did young men wear t's in informal settings, and it wasn't until the 1980s that it became a real thing. It should be said that form most people, wearing a dress shirt feels hyper formal, because t's are the norm. But a good shirt is soft, and not the formal semi-transparent 'dres shirts' you see in most department stores. Button shirts can even be ammended with sewing below the sternum, creating a faux-full button pull over.

>>14126782
if you don't see something you like, perhaps you don't care for the idea in general. Try a woven/braided belt, or one of the craft beaded type.

>>14125753
after the Industrial Age began, most things called Traditional usually go back a good 1000 years. Maybe you could argue modern suit culture continues the flow from the 1700s and back beyond, but it's a little stretch.

>>14127251

I did attend an Ivy business school for an university sponsored exchange. Should have not, inferiority complexes skyrocketed. Students performed considerably worse than at my home university but had companies begging the to fill their vacancies. I’m still unemployed.
Everybody dressed like utter shit tho. Like sweatpants + Patagonia vest or on of those ugly performance fabric sweaters.

What core is this and how do I achieve it?

>>14128998
>Like sweatpants + Patagonia vest or on of those ugly performance fabric sweaters.

>>14127367
I do, and when it's cold I either deal with it or I wear gloves. Putting you hands in your pockets makes you look like a unapproachable, lazy person

Look for today, twill shirt, chinos, wool sockets, one piece derby on brandy.

My dude, those look like wholecut oxfords from here. If there's an open lacing your pic absolutely obliterated it.

>>14129522
It's between 16ºc and 20ºc (around 65ºf) in most of western Europe. I was wearing cords like two weeks ago, this summer is going to be hell.

Could be, but the shape is much rounder than the average oxford.

>>14129504

baka....... forget it.

Is there a name for pants like pic related? Cotton pants that sort of resemble those of a suit, but with a more casual fit and look. They're also comfy as fuck.
They seem pretty neo-preppy to me, but I haven't really seen them much outside of Scandinavia.

obviously pic related looks shit in combination with those shoes

>>14129592
Chinos?

>>14129612
It's probably the closest I'm gonna get. I ask primarily because clothes companies here have them as a separate category from chinos, and I don't really see a huge difference either.
Maybe some anon in here has superior knowledge

>>14129551
Was it very hot last summer where you live? It's been said it will be even more hot this year.

Notorious weeb and unironic traddie Donald Keen passed away yesterday, pictured here wearing a classic 3roll2 suit while Mishima Yukio dons a crazy atomic sharkskin

>>14129592
Skandicuck as it is jokingly called.

It's a Danish/Swedish subculture of clothing with many brands like NN07, very elegant and simple yet it can be dressed up or down easily. Doesn't really fall in any old category.

>>14129488
>Imagine being so autistic that you think the reason people don't like you is because you use your pockets in the cold

>>14129666
Lel, I looked up NN07 and literally all their models were of obscure ethnicity. It just seems so out of place when models don't fit the demographic of the label. Skandicuck might be the correct term, I'm still gonna wear the pants though

>>14129652
Yes, not in the top3 from my memory but it was hot enough. On top, i have couple of weddings this summer in which i have to wear a morning dress and from my experience is truly horrific since the most thin you can find is maybe a linen waistcoat, the rest is either wool or wool/cotton.

Do people actually wear 3-roll-2 jackets in 2019? And why is the top button buttoned in the picture? Are patch pockets halal?

I've never owned a sack cut jacket either, I might try to find one in linen or something for this summer.

I'm a poor goy, how do I achieve poverty trad?

Doing up the top button on a 3roll2 was a heyday Japanese Ivy flex for some reason. Don't know about other fellas but most of my jackets are 3roll2 sacks.

>>14129900
You can get a Barbour jacket for 200€ on UK sites, it will last lots of years. You can get many offers on shirts at Brooks Brothers and Charles Tyrwitt.

Also, buy in sales if you dont have much money

>>14127047
Spier and MacKay have some of the best chinos and they don't cost very much. If you want to get something better you're going to have to pay a shitload of money.

>>14125655
>supposed to get hand me downs from your dad etc
what if my dad is fucking fat and im /fit/? Im not wearing an XXXL oxford shirt to score points with anonymous strangers on a Nigerian cock and ball torture discussion forum enthusiasts. I guess that tradition comes from a time when guys couldn't (or wouldn't) order pizza to work 4 times a week

>>14130754
you dont have to per se
but it helped me budget wise lol. especially belts, those shits are expensive as fuck
his shirts dont fit me though since my sleeve length is like 2 inches longer than his

>>14130764
you can get sleeves shortened by a tailor for less than it would cost for a new shirt.

>>14130764
yeah desu I wouldn't want to wear old sweaty shirt but belts and maybe shoes would've been a load off my bank balance if I could've borrowed from him. We are the same shoe size I think but my dad cheaps out on shoes which is inexplicable to me. Tbh I just in general prefer to get my own stuff

>>14130863
yeah but im 35 and he 33

Alright lads, I need some shoes, but I can’t decide between weejuns and brown wingtips. Any advice?

>>14130973
It depends on your other wardrobe - do you often wear sportcoats and/or suits? If so, wingtips, if not, loafers. Keep in mind that weejuns may or may not be the best choice for loafer.

>>14131004
Really? Weejuns seem very casual to me. But yeah I dress mostly casual. I have boat shoes, but it is the middle of winter so i was thinking of a more solid shoe

>>14129909
>Drake's
I thought that stuff was all darted

Who does a decent field coat? I've really been digging that aesthetic lately.

>>14131302
I bought this one from LL Bean a few months ago, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. I really like it, but I was pretty pissed off that all of the buttons were sewn on super poorly.

>>14131302
Barbour is best. I wear mine all the time.

>>14131302

You mean like an M65? Many brands to check out on that front, but A Day's March just released theirs that looks very nice. Priced at around 200€.

>>14130973
Depends on what you have, give variety to your wardrobe

>>14133094

>>14129491
>One piece derby

So you mean to say Oxford? Those look like Oxfords

>>14129671
he’s right about the etiquette though, if you give a shit keep your hands out of your pockets

Where to buy clothes in the UK, preferably places that have stores to try on? Hard to get a good fit sometimes online. Hackett? John Lewis? Barbour?

Anyone got any eton button downs? How's the collar/material?

>>14129491
im probably a little ocd but you have a visible loose thread on your chinos, directly between your legs near your crotch. its really bothering me. kindly remove it.

can you have a beard and be a prep? even if its very neatly trimmed? i never see any preps with beards.

>>14136083
I go with extremely short beard, because I think it goes better with my face

Thoughts on the jacket? Should I hem it a bit? Thrifted it yesterday.

>>14136191
yeah I think it's a bit too long
also, you look great

>>14136191
it looked decent when i just saw the left pic but after seeing right i'd definetly tailor

Thanks! I'll take it to a local tailor and have them add a vent too.

>>14136191

Well done. Go for a four-in-a-hand knot, it will look slimmer imo. Also:

>>14136208

I'd put the flap pockets in if possible.

I bought my first hats today. Two newsboy flatcaps and a bowler.

>>14136343
pics?

>>14136353

Will provide pics tomorrow when the sun shines again.

>>14136191
this is the first fit check I've seen in this thread that actually looks good

where do i buy decent wintip brogues <200

>>14136418

shoepassion, meermin come to mind. but anyhow, and this is coming from experience, go into an appropriate store and just try out different fits (lasts). I cannot stress this enough.

>>14136334

Thanks for the advise. I really need to learn more tie knots. Also I didn't pay attention to the pockets as in old movies I see them flapping open, but it really does look better with the flaps in.

>>14136476

Welcome. I found that this simple knot goes with every collar while the bigger knots just are what they are. Open flaps are more informal and closed more formal. Also, closed flap with give you a much slimmer / smoother appearance overall. But you seem to be a lanklet, so this may not apply to you. Really great job on your outfit. I would wear the same but instead of a sweater, go for a vest since I dislike the feeling of having a sweater over the shirt.

>>14126632

I need help. I have a job interview in next week at a big reinsurance firm thats headquartered in Bermuda (possibly a relevant detail idk). I've been told by my parents that the firm has a notoriously extra-preppy culture, and I want to make a good impression on my interview. Can someone recommend me a good style of tie to wear with a black suit and white shirt? I have a Brooks Brothers gift card so if possible recommendations from BB would be preferred. Thanks

>>14136694
>black suit
its a job interview not a funeral
anyway i'd pick a repp tie with red as primary color

>>14136701

Taken from Italian idea that the middle button is always done, the top is sometimes done and the bottom button is never done up

>>14135910
Fantastic places to buy ivy style clothing. In the 60s this country led the world in Ivy style fashion, it evolved into mod.
Try checking out some of the 60s style brands like John smedley, Art gallery Even Ben Sherman has just released an Ivy League range. Plus this country has the added bonus of the best suiting shops and tailors anywhere in the world

These are sexy as can be

>>14125655
Anyone got an rugby shirt inspo? Not sure how it's meant to fit with everything

I have the basic solid blue, white, and pink oxfords, what's next? Yellow, sea foam green, striped red? I guess it might be expensive because you have to go made to order for the unusual colors at most places, if they offer many colors at all.

>>14131011
Ah, sorry, by Weejuns I mean the ones specifically from Bass - I don't care for them. The embossed leather doesn't wear in well. Any other type of penny loafer will work. If you want something between a loafer and boat shoe, consider a camp moccasin.

>>14137556
Thanks, any suggestions for wing tips? Because honestly my clothes could work with both, I just wanna look at my options and see what works best

>>14137584
Also I would like to add that my preference would be thicker soles, since i don’t want them to be entirely formal either

>>14137218
id?

>>14136694

Get a dark grey or navy suit and not a shiny red tie like below (at first)

>>14136704

It looks good but you want - for a job interview - to go very classic like bordeaux or navy.

>>14137534
Light yellow and lavender for alternative plain colours and seersucker/vertical stripes in pink or blue

>>14137930

It's Impossible to get a good button down In the UK though. Only options really are john Simon's and Drake's.

The Great thing about the UK is the shoes.

>>14136191

>>14136191
Looks good, but I cannot determine if you're 22 or 42

>>14136191
ignore everyone else here, they're fucking retards. it looks genuinely really quite good, although definitely conservative (if you're aiming for that though, that's fine!). i like the tie as well, it goes with your blond hair and blue eyes.

i don't think there's any correct answer. right now, the silhouette is kinda vertical and tallish right now, and i'm wondering if the jacket contributes to that. it's personal preference i guess. not sure about the fit of the waist though

>>14136191
come on. it's just the suit that makes him look older. he's obviously in his 20s

Thick, not flimsy and thin like modern stretch and non-iron shit. Really nice color roll. I ordered 3 more and probably will just by from them for now on

>>14138510
I'm looking for more uni stripes and less common colors now, so I'm kind of disappointed they don't offer oxfords in more colors considering they have so much more variety in other dress shirts. I guess I'll have to try out Mercer or something like that next.

How to wear flannels? I’ve been stealing kjps flow. Thoughts?
>Flannel over lightweight sweater
>flannel over oxford

>>14138807

>>14138807
flannels arent prep bud, theyre low class trailer trash

>>14138807
Flannel over sweater is trying too hard and wearing a button down over anything makes you look like some retard that crawled out of the 90's. Just wear the flannel under the sweater like you would any other shirt.

>>14138834
No trailer trash would wear a $150 Pendleton flannel.

>>14138882
Speaking of Pendleton, their board shirt is intended to be worn over other layers like sweaters. Admittedly, the guy in the photo looks a bit silly doing the same.

>>14138886
typical trailer trash mindset that price = quality, prep/trad/ivy has almost nothing to do with cost

>>14138295
Family house in Brittany

>>14138807
Depends. I have some lighter flannels that I treat like a regular shirt and a heavier flannel shirt which is cut a lot bigger so I wear it like a light jacket the way that guy is.

>>14137584
Shoes are a tough thing. Good ones cost a pretty penny.

I don't know much about thicc soles. You might have better luck with a wingtip boot and dainite soles.

Try Allen Edmonds seconds. If you're willing to splurge a little more, try Allen Edmonds, Alden, Crockett and Jones, Trickers. If you want more Continental styling (i.e. sleeker lasts, which is preference), try Meermin. Stay darker in color.

15.5 inch neck and 35.5 inch sleeves. It's slim for sure, but in a good way. My next shirts will be exactly the same but with a 15.75 inch neck. Their necks seek to run a little small.

>>14138807
How come flannel look great on other people but every one I've seen in stores is thin cheap, itch and I'll fitting / boxy

>>14139074
Because you are looking at bad ones. Look at more expensive ones and they'll be nicer

>>14139068
i have to be clean shaven? how about a mustache

>>14139123
facial hair is not prep

>>14139123
For prep, yeah, definitely no facial hair.
This isn't a look soft basedboys can pull off because they can't have a beard to hide their weak jaws and chins. You gotta have the facial structure to be prep

>>14139151
Being a little bit fit is really important too. The 50 percent of users on /fa/ who are 18 year old beardless virgin twinks can't qualify for prep.

>>14139178
more than a little bit, most prep schools (where the prep style comes from) require you to play a sport each season and practices usually last 3 hours a day, 6 days a week

>>14138692

>>14138807

>>14139151
There isnt any face shape that is easily recognizable in the inspo posted

>>14139283
Good facial structure is universal across genres

How do I style bean boots in a /prep/ approved way?

>>14126966
wtc jacket?

>>14139346
>bean boots
Such a meme at this point. I'm not sure I'd wear them. Rather wear wellingtons desu.
>>14139351
Drakes. You probably can't afford it.

>>14139346
I dont have them, but I would wear it with khaki chinos or khaki/cinnammon corduroys, blue sweater and waxed cotton jacket or a duffle coat

>>14139376
>buying your tweeds from fucking Drakes in the first place
ISHYGDDT, it's literally cheaper to get them tailored fully bespoke.

>>14139346
They go with literally any other prep approved fall/winter clothing. Sweaters, oxfords, flannels, barbour, down vest, duffel coat, peacoat, etc. on top and chinos/cords/jeans for pants.

>>14139151
Sadly men aren't men like they used to be. Can you believe this man was only 36 when this picture was taken?

any brand recs?

It's all so tiresome...

>>14139631
I like LL Bean flannels from past seasons but I got one this season that seemed a bit lower quality. I still haven't decided if I'll go back to them.

>>14139738
Yikers, that’s too bad

>>14139738
>supporting BB in the first place
Their quality has been shit for a long time. Now everything is stretch and non-iron garbage that feels like plastic. And they've been pandering to niggers for a long time too.
I get all my shirts from Kamakura now and never looked back.

Can long hair be prep?

>>14139738
Tell me about it brother. Fuck this clown world.

>>14140136
Ofc

>>14138892

It does to a certain extent.
You’re not gonna shop at fast fashion stores are you?

They've always been like this

Got paid 3 days ago, already wasted way too much on preppy clothes. Time to not eat for the rest of the month and get some new shoes.

Rancourt or quoddy

Yeah, this is cringe

Was it around 2012 when streetwear took over /fa/ and menswearposting stopped almost completely?

Menswear as in dressing like a respectable adult.

Can i pull off FL Woods mariners jacket living in the US South 8 hours away from the coast without looking retarded? I'm alreadg a poser so i am not worried about that.

>>14143038
Sure, wear it. That sort of fabric or similar is what you see in nowadays jackets that most people wear

>>14142865
Hey at least we agree on one

the collar is bigger than the polo

>>14143837
whatever, it's the only thing mildly effay in this thread. Most of the posters don't even try to make an outfit look good, you just simply combine clothes that are defined as preppy and call it a fit

>>14143882
>>14144180
do you seriously live in those islands?

>>14136191
By modern standards it's entirely too long and boxy, but holy shit, you're rocking it. Like, you just manage to look genuine, and not like a cosplayer in a fit that by all means is outdated. Your height and lankiness (no offense) gives off yung Lovecraft vibes. The only thing I'd change is the tie, instead going with something more subtle and earthy.

>>14140232
Man, the trousers on the middle guy are fucking terrible.

>>14142903
It was around goffninja being memed to newfags

>>14140232
Every aspect of this picture is shit. The only good thing about it is the girl but you can't even tell that her body is super sexy because she's literally drowning in her clothes.
Those pants on the guy in the middle are giving me cancer

Good brands for rugby shirts? I've been loving the look of them and they look so comfy. What are some brands that have good ones that won't break the bank? Anything sub $50?

>>14145152
LL.bean and J crew

>>14145152
Barbarian and columbiaknit

the real question is, where tf can I get them in australia

I've been looking for rugby shirt inspo and I'm seeing tons of pics of people wearing them over shirts like pic related.
Is that a thing? Are rugby shirts worn over a shirt in the same way as sweaters or something?

>>14145194
why would you live in australia anon?

>>14145213
Yes that’s a thing or worn by itself is fine

>>14145220
I was thinking this same thing. Imagine living in that sweaty hellscape

>>14145127
Is that ivy or prep?

>>14145230

No i just summer there i assume he does in marthas vineyard

>>14136191
>that jacket
>too long
Holy fuck, is everyone in here retarded? It's the right length, you mongs. The sleeve is a bit short if anything, given that it shows the right amount of cuff even though the shirt cuff is a bit high on the wrist. If the skirt of the jacket were shorter it wouldn't even cover his ass.

>>14136191, my man, all you need to do is not tie your tie like a tube sock. Tighten that shit up and put a dimple in it.

W2C Harris Tweed jacket in Canada?

>>14145768

>>14145569
Well I took the jacket to the tailor already, and the results will be seen on Thursday. He will also lengthen the sleeves if he can, but apparently they might have been tailored before by a not-so-professional tailor, who might've have snipped off some of the extra fabric thus making the job tad bit more difficult. In any case it will be hemmed only a little bit in order to give it a more modern feel without breaking the classic over all image (I don't like the modern day slim fit style either).

As for the tie... my tie game really needs improving.

>>14127515
this is made by a blogger, and all the brands that sponser her blog just happen to be in the first 3 stages. funny eh?

>>14142098
>spring break
nobody gonna give a shit
nobody gonna care

'cause; spring break, bitch.

this stuff is all really backward looking. all the pictures are at least 50 yrs old or come from fashion catalogs....

how does the modern day prep schooled frat bro dress on a daily basis?

>>14139283
Alejandro?

>>14146311
Well, best of luck to you, Anon. I hope the hem comes out so you're happy with it, but in future, if you get a jacket with that length, I'd advise you not to sweat about it.

>>14146311
>my tie game really needs improving
Practice dimpling with a simple four-in-hand, it's really not hard to do. 20 minutes to learn, tops. Watch a YT vid maybe.

>>14136491
What type of leather are those damco gloves?

What are some good recs for white sneakers? I have a pair of all white Converse that I like but they don't fit me that well so I want to find a new pair, especially now that it's getting warmer.

>>14146431
No

>>14146496
>white Converse
soi. Onitsuka Tiger and Sperry has some decent white models, If not, go for stan smith

>>14146561
Thoughts on these Sperrys?

What are some good brogue derbies to get?

>>14147061
Like wing tips or cap toes? Probably trickers or something

>>14147063
Wingtips.
My dream shoes are the Strands by Allen Edmonds, but they're oxfords. I want something as close as possible but as a derby and with wingtips instead of a cap

>>14147098
Honestly, Crockett and Jones or trickers if you wanna shell out cash

>>14147098
Trickers are probably THE most classic makers of brogue derbies specifically. Also absurdly sturdy shoes.

>>14147542
They also have a gorgeous shape that I’ve rarely seen well recreated

What’s that brand with whale logo called

>>14147622
Vineyard vines?

>>14147622
I can tell by that closet and the plastic drawers that whoever owns that collection is actually poor as shit and LARPs as a rich prep guy

Got 3 blue oxfords in various shades, a white one, a green university striped one and probably gonna pick up a rugby shirt next week. I've got tan, khaki, olive and navy chinos. For a jacket I wear a harrington jacket.

My problem is the shoes. I have no fucking shoes to wear. What are some that brands, styles and models to check out that are must haves that won't break the bank as I start a collection?

>>14147803
Judging by your choice of clothes, some trickers wing tips would fit well, or some weejuns. I keep mentioning trickers because their design is the exact one I’ve been looking for, so I’m just shilling at this point

>>14147812
>>14147803
Should have specified. What color shoe recs?

>>14147797
Ok

>>14147797

>making broth out of leather goods
IIRC, that's what the Soviets did during the siege of Stalingrad

>>14147622
Vineyard Vines

Thoughts on this man?
Everyone seems to dislike him

>>14148218
I don't like the clothes his brand sells, I don't like the clothes he wears, I think he's a bit cringy and LARP-y but I have nothing against him personally. He's managed to create a nice brand image and I enjoy looking at his instagram once in a while, he and his wife seem like nice people.

>>14148218
He's litteraly cosplaying.
Also his brand is mostly overpriced synthetic trash.

>>14143842
the polo shirt is horrific

>>14148218
I have no idea who this is but that green is too bright for that jacket.

>>14146585
Depends on whether you're tall or not

>>14148218
Personally: he makes very good photos for his instagram, they are really colorful and also has a lot of variety since he takes pics on many different types of environments. The clothes he wear, usually arent bad combinations, but sometimes he ruins them by putting extremely bright colours, ruining with it the full outfit. Also, the caps he usually wears are full cringe

About his brand: most of the stuff seems to be overpriced and void of natural fibers. If I had to buy something from there, it might be corduroy pants, flannels and maybe polo shirts or socks. I would avoid sweaters or accesories in general except for socks, because sometimes they have some really cool designs, but a bit overpriced.

His old blog (http://www.fivepointfox.com/)) included at OP, has some cool fits

What is a versatile prep shoe for casual wear (walking around a college campus)? I usually wear Chinos/OCBD/Crewneck. I'm assuming whatever I get should be dark brown but there are a lot of options.

>>14148564
Penny or tassel loafers
Camp or blucher mocs
Boat shoes
White sneakers (Sperry, Stan Smiths, PF Flyers, etc)

>>14148660
>PF Flyers
Those are full soi

>>14148660
Blucher mocs look versatile. Is a darker brown a good color to start with?

How is this fit?

>>14149005
Too dark

>>14149005
Try something tighter around the neck, like a nose.

>>14146480
Goatskin. Very stretchy and soft.

>>14149005
>>14149038
What anon said
Those colors(olive and grey) are killing that madras
I’d just switch it out for a sold pink ocbd
Also pant is too slim imo
