Unanswered questions from last thread:

Do you have any good dufflecoat inspo?

Slacks recommendations? Reasonable price preferred

I have a medium-ish Afro, should I get an undercut?

Do you post in any other general on /fa/?

>>14605002
Didn’t see this thread sorry

>>14605015
Can you post a fro pic to give me an idea?
Also I browse sneaker general since u like to wear fire kicks when I'm not larping as prep. (Which I mostly do for work)
Now for my question. Is it a good idea to buy a cheap Uniqlo blazer to see if I like the style? I don't want to commit to a 2 or 300 dollar blazer just yet. Pic related. My only worry is that it will be too slim fit because I'm a big boi. 40 inch chest and 31 inch waist

>>14605105
I think it's a better idea to go to Goodwill and buy a high quality, classic looking blazer you can actually try on for like $12

>>14605130
do you need to pay to try something on? wtf

>>14605130
Good idea. I was actually going to go to Goodwill tomorrow to drop off some things. I'll check it out

>>14605130

Best affordable oxfords (under 50)

>>14605195
I mean he doesn't look skinny or buff but he doesn't look fat per se. Maybe just average

>>14605203
For 50-65€ you can get Polo Ralph Lauren ones in sale. Probably Gant as well

>>14605203
>>14605205
Is right, a good Oxford is a little on the pricy side. But if you truly desperately need a sub 50 Oxford go to the gap. They always have sales

Does country dress fit here?
I just want a decent sportscoat that still has functional features like a storm collar and box pockets.

>>14605313
Alan Paine, López Aragón or Cordings dont have them?

>>14605203
Oxfords are the most common shoes on sale in charity shops in my experience. Either that or just go Clarks.

>>14605451
>>14605215
>>14605214
>>14605205
>>14605203
Wait are we talking oxford shoes or oxford shirts?

You can get good used AE on eBay for under 50

Unless you're an Englishmen going for a hunt you're better off with a normal tweed sportscoat

Where to go to pick up old used smelly oxfords?

>>14605002
Fuck I wish I could wear a sweater like that but it's too fucking hot where I live 99.9% of the time.

>>14605212
Did you look at his fucking fingers?

What are your thoughts on popping the collar of a polo shirt? I know its seen as a douchebag thing nowadays, but it was in the OPH, and I am personally fond of the look. What do you guys think?

How so? I've seen this associated with fratboys and wop guidos, but I've never heard of Indians doing it?

>>14606341
You will look like the douchebag that you spoke of.

>>14606501
I have seen some moors doing it

Autumn is coming

Is corduroy a good material for a sports coat?

>>14606595
>I've spent all summer coming up with good fall and winter fits
>I'll be able to unleash them soon
>mfw

>>14606598
Yes. It's also easier to dress down than other materials, such as tweed, but it can be dressed up quite nicely.

>>14606599
The only thing I dislike about winter is my tan fading which makes me look less healthy

>>14606599
we want photos

>>14606598
It is, but I dont like it.

>>14606599
>tfw still no good fall/winter coat apart from grey overcoats

>>14606644
Get a duffle coat or a peacoat

Found this for 120€ :^)

Someone has any experience with lengthening Barbours quilted jackets sleeves? I’m 6’4 and even the XL sleeves end up way before my wrist

You look like every other twink studying economy at my uni. Hit the gym instead of buying these clothes mr spaghettihands
>>14605313
And where do you want to wear it? To hunts and horse rides at your mansion? Otherwise it’s fedoracore and the worst kind of larping

>>14606736
Awful

>>14606961
>Just don’t, this guy is just handsome. You’re probably not
But I actually am decent looking. I think 4chan users have a running assumption that other 4chan users all look like the incels that redditors say we are, when that is actually far from the truth.
>inb4 "dox yourself to prove you're handsome"

>>14606835
>Dont wear a rugby shirt, even though they're trad and look nice. People will think you look like Chris Chan, even though most normal people have never fucking heard of him.

tbqh I'd like to be high status enough or in a profession that is expected to wear suits every day. I'd take out a lot of my insecurities about dressing and eliminate all my decision making woes. Business casual is a cancer on the plannet and it should have never come into existance. There is too much room to get it wrong

This looks too homo because of:

Light pink shirt and red trousers look bad toghether, and squared end ties are not good looking

Anything over 5" inseam is frat fag

TFW poor so I cop my oxfords at gap and target. On the plus side it allows me to save up for cool watches and shoes

How does POWERSUIT differ from business professional?

>>14607816
How the fuck can you afford watches if you can't afford proper shoes?

Skip the watch until you have a proper job.

>>14607972
Power suit for making an impression. Like a speech or an interview. Basically your best blue/black suit with a red tie, maybe a modern cut to showcase your broad shoulders/slim waist/best attribute. Business suit is comfy enough to wear to work every day, but looks good

>>14607986
Thanks anon.

>>14607983
Thrifting/secondhand/smart shopping. Plus the target and uniqlo oxfords are good for slim fit, gap is good for boxy and casual.

They all hit pretty well if you keep fit/trim. That rick quote about your body being the most fashionable accessory was something I really took to heart when I first started browsing /fa/

>>14607991
A basic watch is like $1000, second hand.

Where can I buy nice pants? I've been wearing bononos for years and I found a nice fit with them, but they've completely stopped selling 100% cotton and everything is stretch bullshit now.

I mostly just want nice soft casual chinos, 100% cotton, I'll pay up to like $100+ if they're good but I would rather $80 or less. A range of colors would be nice.

>>14607994
wtf kind of watches are you buying? I just got a cute snoopy watch at the todd snyder store for like 70 dollars. Seems like we have different ideas of cheap lol

>>14608021
Try to avoid anything quartz if you can. Better to go without a watch than wear something that shows you don't know what you're doing fashion wise.

>>14608013
The Walmart buyout completely ruined them. They really did have pretty nice fitting chinos

>>14608059
I've been buying from them since before Walmart and even before Nordstrom when chinos were pretty much all they sold. It's been downhill since Walmart, but they at least still had the basic cotton chinos until recently.

>>14607990
Ftfy

>>14608082
is the powersuit dude Gordon Gekko?

>>14608089
Yes, the guy in the dark suit is. The guy in the gray double breasted suit is Jordan Belfort from Wolf of Wall Street

>>14608096
yeah thats what I thought

Anyone have pics of someone actually pulling off polo-under-OCBD look?

Does anyone know how to avoid getting scammed on ebay? I'm eyeing some brooks brothers rugby shirts but they seem too good to be true. Is grailed safe as well?

>>14608134
Check the seller's rating, reviews, how many things they've sold before especially. Some guy who has sold 300 items isn't going to turn around and throw that reputation away and scam you over a $30 shirt. That reputation is more valuable than most small-time scams.

Used clothes on ebay can be really cheap, especially when you get away from jackets/suits/etc (which are already quite cheap) so I wouldn't necessarily discount it. I buy clothes on eBay all the time and have never been scammed. Jackets, blazers, still-unfinished suits, ties with the tags still on them - probably 1/2 of my tailored wardrobe came from ebay alone. I bought an unworn, unfinished 3/2 tweed BB 1818 sack suit for $99 once.

>>14608111

Plus eBay's buyer policy is ridiculously stacked in your benefit, not the seller's. Selling on eBay can be risky because buyers can blatantly rip you off, return a box full of rags instead of an item, and you have to fight tooth and nail about it

>>14608041
I don't think watch autism has much to do with personal style. Alongside automatic I've been wearing this quartz watch (mostly for work) and aside from the non-saphire glass, it's been great.

What shirt tie combo to wear with a dark brown herringbone wool blazer? I'll wear Khaki trousers and grey flannels with it I suppose.

>>14608152
A watch serves no functional purpose in today's world OTHER than as a status symbol.

What status do you think that shows?

>>14608152
I agree that no normal person cares about watch spergery. The average person recognizes two kinds of watches: Rolex, and everything else. Wear what you like and you think looks good. I have some nice automatic watches, but my absolute favorite might be a silly quartz timex I got from j crew about a decade back

>>14608162
It's a fashion accessory. please return to the watch general and go back to arguing about which $5k watches are "shitters"

>>14608162
You can tell the time with it, retard. There are plenty of occasions/situations where it would be inappropriate/impolite to pull out your phone to check the time, but perfectly acceptable to glance at your wrist.

the pasteguide for ocbd is mostly advising custom. What BB ocbds should i get that aren't india tier? eBay? I have old jcrew ones that are too slim and small collar but i dont want to go custom what's in the 50-75$ range but with a decent roll.

>>14608221
thanks, does that film have a decent amount of good inspo in it? I have heard good things

Can you fix the size?

Where can I buy Pendleton sweaters in NYC?

Post your most recent purchase

>>14608300

I bought almost that same jacket last year. The buttons were sewn on really poorly and started falling off, but after fixing that it's a really nice jacket and I like it a lot.

Posted this in the /comfy/ thread, and it probably fits better there, but there is a bit of crossover.

I'm continuing to build my wardrobe around what I call "fieldcore". Basically I work as a natural history tour guide and I figure that's all the license I need to LARP as a palaeontologist. Lot of khaki workwear, greens and browns, comfy knits, bit of tweed here and there. Safari/Bruce/Ray Mears LARP. Nothing absurdly costumy, I've thrown a wide net.

I need some wet weather gear and I was thinking maybe milsurp waterproofs or some sort of fisherman's looking or bright raincoat, any suggestions?

>>14608529
Sounds like a based style. Pics?

>>14608562
Rather not. Even without a headshot I might be doxable, small community. Came close to being doxxed by some mental fucking psycho in the palaeo threads on /an/ which was a bit of a fright, don't want to risk it in this industry even if I'm not saying anything objectionable.

>>14608570
Do you have pics of other people wearing the style? Or, alternatively, could you post some outfit grids of this style?

>>14608574
I can bash together a grid, but it's nothing too special, just the optimal version of the "team kit" or the unofficial uniform for archaeo and palaeo digs, when you're in areas where you don't necessarily have health and safety breathing down your neck and so are forced to wear hi-vis. Certain things people do look great, others not so much, but this picture inspired me, understated, practical, pretty good looking for the style.

>>14608608
Also when you aren't in a climate dismal enough where everyone just goes in head to toe technical fabrics from one of the adventure/outdoors stores.

>>14608608
>>14608610
Nice

>>14608013
Polo Ralph Lauren, they have 100% cotton chinos in regular and slim fits with a decent range of colours

I'm about to go out, so the grid might wait a bit, but here's what I've written:

>Headwear:
-Fur felt or straw hat, fine straw looks better and raffia looks like festival throwaway rubbish but raffia is more durable.
A lot go for leather because they are cheap and crushable, but they don't look great. and there are crushable broad brimmed fur felt hats, like Akubra's Avalon.
>Neck:
-Scarf or neckerchief for sun, sweat, dust.
One option is painters' cloth sewn into a tube scarf, stretchy, good for holding water and a good face mask to keep out dust, not 100% the best looking option but very practical, and can be dyed.
>Body base/middle layers:
-chambray
-summerweight cotton work shirts in tan, khaki, greens
cotton drill as above, obviously both contrasted with the trousers.
I've found oversize cotton drill work shirts look pretty good as an outer layer, bit like a safari or field jacket in appearance but not as affected
not 100% sure of the correct terminology of the fabric type but flannel checked shirts in natural colours
>heavier layers:
-the "wooly pully"
-heavier wool field shirts like Mears is wearing above
-I mostly have a heap of natural coloured knits though
-safari/photographers' field vest fits in here, but this is where tweed gilets also look good

>Legwear
-I love khaki cotton drill. Trousers, shorts.
Pretty trad workwear where I am. Depending on where you are this is where I'd really start to sacrifice looks for comfort if need be with some technical fabric trousers.

>Footwear
-trad workboots, either from your region or elsewhere
As per above, this would be the first thing to go if I was working somewhere wet. But in most circumstances I have worked in, I dress for looks then swap out for rubber boots as needed.

I haven't done a dig where the weather is really inclement for a few years, don't really have much that fits in that's waterproof as per my question. Thinking about some fisherman's overalls though before the next one at my first dig site.

You know exactly what context I'm using LARP in, it's all over my posts.
You're just pretending to have zero reading comprehension in order to shitpost.

>>14608681
You’re an imposter .

>>14608689
You're the imposter, you need to lurk more to learn the slang before you post. You're probably such a newfag you think I'm going into the forest to dig up imaginary fossils with a pool noodle with a bunch of fat goths pretending to be vampires or something.

>>14608694
U’ve been outed. U realize there used to be sumptuary laws to prevent lower classes from impersonating those of higher nobility and office . You’re a tour guide, dress like a fucking tour guide.

Now whose the imposter, Sir Reginald Soddemeigh-Schoolboigh.

3/4 of the field clothes in my wardrobe are my work uniform, should I ditch those?

Pretending to have no reading comprehension in order to shitpost is incredibly low effort. Anyway, I'm showered and dressed, so I'm off. Feel free to play at being retarded some more while I'm out.

I don't even know what you are saying in this post, but you seem really angry. This is Ivy Trad Prep, not your "comfy core" thread pretend bullshit.

i have to dress formal for work, I'm 19 and have to wear suits. how can I dress trad without looking like mummy dressed me.
can you post examples of younger people dressing trad
for reference I'm a 70kg 6'1 ectomorph with wide shoulders and skinny hips

>>14608773
The best way of not looking like your mother dressed you, is to buy a suit that is tailored to fit you well. Spend the money at a proper boutique who does that, get a nice suit and at least 4 different ties.

Nobody here needs to give you an advice on how it should look like, they know in the boutique. Dark blue is best.

>>14608723

>>14607117
This is literally worse.

>>14608773
Navyblazer is full of pics of that in WAYWT threads

>>14608224
I'm afraid the middle ground has been hollowed out. The past few decades of popular fashion have really seen a rapid rapid race to the bottom. That affordable landsend button down that your dad would buy? It no longer exists. Nearly all brands are lowering the quality of their product to cut costs. Custom is honestly the best option for me. If you're happier with something lower quality, GAP, Abercrombie, Landsend, Charles Twyritt or TM Lewin will all do. However, they aren't in that price range (considerably cheaper) as that price range barely exists anymore. Oh and I don't think they have a good collar roll.

>>14608800

don't want to go navy Blazer, want smart casual wiith lean towards trad
I want to look like a professor / psychologist if that helps put my image in your head

Well, I'm back ,and it looks like you took me up on that.
>still pretending to have no reading comprehension
>resorting to "u mad"
Absolutely embarrassing babby's first shitposting.
Only thing I messed up in that post was forgetting the meme arrow for your affected nonsense I quoted. Other than that, the post was as coherent as the rest of them.

I'm obviously not pretending to be a palaeontologist, just like I'm not pretending to be on safari, a guy called Bruce, or Ray Mears who I also said I was LARPing as. I'm just playing dress ups. You know this, you are just pretending to be clueless about lingo and context so you have something to reeeeee about. Hell, if I had enough knowledge to be able to fool palaeontologists out in the field like you are pretending to think I try and do, I'd be able to sidestep a palaeo master's and just start writing papers anyway.

>This is Ivy Trad Prep, not your "comfy core" thread pretend bullshit.
And my original question fits in the thread because my style overlaps with country wear and I'd like some appropriate waterproofs. After I gave background to my question I only talked about my style when that other anon asked.

At least this guy is criticising what I'm wearing rather than just pretending to be a retard,
>>14608938
though if half of everyone out in the field is dressing like it, it's no more a costume than any other style in this thread, it's an occupational uniform.

>>14608300
I got some silk knit ties on Labor Day sales
>>14608723

Mango and H&M have cheap ones in case you are looking for that.

>>14608808
damn. custom just seems too pedantic and tedious i just want to buy a middle range ocbd in blue that fits and has a nice fabric

>>14609237
Barbour and Ralph Lauren are fine

>>14608988
i like your fits anon. nice silk knit tie. was thinking of picking some up soon. got some more OCBDs though during the labor day sales.

>>14608899
Who makes a nice tennis sweater?

>>14608013
Banana Republic make up the most of my closet and have the most comfortable/stylish fits. Bonobos has similar quality. Gap is a downgrade from both, but has decent fits and are still all cotton.

Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren and Gant usually release them every year

Saw this morning this one for 65€: https://silbonshop.com/es/chaquetas-cardigan-punto/jersey-preppy-beige#/529-tallas-xs/570-color-beige

>>14609546
Lacoste has one in their catalog too

>>14609546
Based, I only seem to play tennis in the fall so why not.

>>14609570
I am also a tennis player, but I wouldnt play in sweater, its too much larping and probably uncomfortable.

>>14609546
They look nice, but the stiching is so loose-knit. It seems like they would get floppy and lose their shape after a few washes (or dry cleans).

What the hell? Brooks Brothers has started adding synthetics to their sweaters at least in Red Fleece line

>>14609612
This is such a mess

>>14609612
>>14609617
Blame Zac Posen and Luxottica

>>14609635
Why luxottica?

>>14609617
>>14609612
BB is honestly fucked now. I went on their site the other day looking to just buy a regular sack blazer. The classic 3 roll 2 button navy blue one with gold buttons. But nope, from the comments it looks like they ran out of stock a long time ago with no intention to restock. The only other options are their other offerings which look structured and italian. No thanks!

>>14609617
>130 euro for cotton blend

wowee I could literally pay a poverty stricken 3rd worlder to make me that jumper out of wool for less than that

>>14608988
why do you look so wide. your clothes don't compliment your form at all

>>14609707
Yes, its overpriced, for 30€ more you can get a 100% wool one in fair isle pattern and made in UK

>>14609612
>>14609617
problem is you are looking at Red Fleece. RF is just trying to be what J Crew was 8 years ago. I have always disregarded it, it's not really BB at all.
If you look at vintage, overall BB is FAR better than it was in the 90s.
>>14609635
he's only doing their woman's stuff so no clue
>>14609654
been looking at that same blazer too, anon. Same problem, I know that feeling.

>>14609646
the Luxottica heir bought BB from Marks & Spencer in the early 2000s and, in my personal opinion, totally turned it around. It's never gonna be what it was, but it's better than a lot of places have become.

>>14605105
You should just bite the bullet and buy a nice, expensive blazer. You aren't going to have to buy another one for a long time unless you lose/gain weight. If you can't afford it now, save for it. If there are used clothing stores (even Salvation Army/Goodwill can have nice stuff sometimes) hit them up and see what you can find. They're very hit or miss but I've gotten stuff like Gucci loafers for $100.

>>14609759
Where?

>>14609784
>gucci loafers
I read that they arent that good, and that could be compared to 200€ Meermin's horsebit loafers for example. True?

I see, I just realised that you said "30 more" not "30"

>>14609792
I wish it were that cheap haha

>>14609788
>Campbells
Do you have experience with this brand? Stuff looks nice.

Also, for a first navy blazer, should I go flannel or hopsack?

>>14609788
They're fine, nothing special. Not him, but my brother has a pair of guccis and I have a pair of Verona IIs, the clone made by allen edmonds. I think mine wore better and were a little better constructed, but then again he probably didnt use trees

>>14609788
I've read that the quality of Gucci's stuff has gone downhill lately as it (and other luxury brands that aggressively signal wealth) has started to cater to niggers, Arab princes, Chinese oligarchs, and other such "people". The construction of my pair are solid but I would never pay retail price for them. At the price point of many luxury brands it'd make sense to just go bespoke, especially for something like shoes. I've never heard of Meermin, but as the classic Gucci loafers retail for $690, 200€ is a hell of a lot less.

>>14609800
>8 buttons
Imo it has to heavy army uniform connotations. He can pull off it easily being a royal but if I saw it on any norman then my first subconscious thought would be that he's larping for some military. Think these militarylike coats that were popular like 5 years ago and every faggot was wearing them. Go for 6 buttons imo.

>>14609801
my allen edmond horsebit loafers are so comfortably and had the silver option instead of gold horsebit. good pick

>>14609812
I don't want a db I just wanted to post a trad pic of charlie.

>>14609838

>>14609800
No experience with the brand, but some other anon mentioned many threads ago. Judging pictures and videos + tripadvisor reviews the brand seems to make good quality stuff for a decent price:

http://tweedlandthegentlemansclub.blogspot.com/2019/04/campbells-of-beauly-country-tailor-and.html

>>14609806
>690$
They are just too much, for 200€ you get GYW ones with similar quality, even Carmina retails for half of Gucci

>>14609840

I sort of get your point. But at least they're posting fits. To me, someone posting a medium to bad fit is still better than someone who just spams the same pics every thread.

>>14610101
Anything they make is cool because Leander wears it.

>>14609963
if everything was more earth tone. this wouldn't be half bad.

ITS SHITE BEING SCOTTISH

true prep. Where to cop?

>>14610222
People who post fits will always have more of a right to criticise others than non-fit posting shit posters. Why should anyone take seriously the opinion of someone too cowardly to post a fit?

>>14612575
yeah, hope i don't get an STD fucking Glasgow school of arthoes.

do i actually have to be rich for this shit?
give me fashionable polos

>>14612470
The design is actually cool

>>14612861
No, you dont need to be rich

>fashionable polo
Just get any plain one

dinner time

Is it just me or are some of the posters in here kinda poor?
I mean, this style, at least prep and ivy, screams "rich". I understand you don't need to be rich to afford dressing like this, but to me the style is for rich people. Maybe that is just the stereotype talking, but I don't think I'm alone out there among normies in having that impression.

And when I see some of you posting pics of yourselves, I can't stop myself from thinking it looks odd because it's clear that you're poor but you dress like that anyway.

>>14613355

>>14613325
that isnt barbour right?

Today's outfit, back to the salmon pants

>>14613369
I don't think I'm wrong. This guy >>14613325
And this guy >>14613372
As well as this guy >>14608988
They all look relatively poor.

>>14613385
This guy is extremely rich, does he look like so?

>>14613401
This guy is even wealthier, does he look rich?

>>14613403
This guy is wealthier than the previous one, does he look rich?

>>14612575
Worse to be English. At least you have stunning landscapes to camp and hike in.

>>14613355
The problem is that they're spending as little as possible on a style that's all about the details. Details that require a little bit more outlay. A little collar with no roll, standard slimfit, lightweight trousers, cheap shoes, these are all signs that they aren't spending enough on quality, prep approved brands. Actual nice clothes don't cost THAT much more than the j.crew/lands end/gap that most of these posters are wearing. The question is more of good taste rather than abject poverty imo.

For good shirts you should be spending 100$ Good shoes cost AT LEAST 300$ (good year welted from a reputable brand) A good blazer that hasn't been thrifted should be 600-1000$. Nice trousers will always cost at least 150$

Now while these prices might seem excessive to your average university student 4channer, once you have at least an alright job, they're not. Your average Joe would spend a lot more money 100 years ago on a few items of quality clothing (and like 40% of their salary on food alone lol) that would last then a long time. It's still possible to do that. Stop buying so much thin, lightweight, poorly constructed disposable junk and have a small wardrobe with a few quality pieces and you will be much happier.

Disclaimer, if you are really poor and or a student, don't follow this advice. When you're young you should be experimenting and developing your style. You don't want to spend the tiny amounts of money you have on what could be a costly sartorial mistake.

>>14613372
Your torso doesn't suit low rise pants. See if you can find something with a medium rise of 12 inches. Also, get them cuffed. White is a fine idea but I think your shirt's shoulders are too wide. They're drooping on the sides. Finally, your shirt has a little baby collar which isn't /tip/. Good effort though and I like your shoes and belt.

>>14613401
>>14613403
>>14613406
Yes they probably look very rich when they take selfies in their homes.

>>14613429
The shirt shoulders are fine, my shoulder ends where I put the arrow in the photo. The problem with the shirt is that is very loose in some areas, specially around the arms/shoulders and generates the same effect seen in >>14613406 Thats why I think that slim fit shirts usually work better in the shoulder area

How is torso related to low rise pants? Is there any guide about that?

You understand that there is a wide range of wealth from the billionaires that you posted to the upper-middle class/upper-class Nantucket WASPs that this style was birthed from, right?

They have different goals. CEOs want to look like the average man so they seem relatable. Wealthy people who don't need to care like that dress to the enviroment. Ever been to Nantucket? The Hamptons?

>>14613555
Here you go

Does this guy look like the wealthiest non-tech self made billionaire?

>>14613566
I posted no billionaires. I'm just saying it's clear that the guys with the selfies I referred to is relatively poor.

Now, maybe prep isn't for rich people only, I don't know. But that has always been my impression. It does kinda look odd tho.

>>14613426
>prep approved brands

>>14613437
I'm really struggling to see what you find "poor" looking about, what, the original hardwood floors in the half-a-million dollar home that i own. Perhaps it's the original solid oak doors. Or maybe just my outfit, perhaps the Alden cordovan shoes are too cheap? Maybe the j press sport coat isn't "ivy" enough for you?

>>14613748
Looks like the home needs renovation and it certainly doesn't look like a 500k home. I will admit I don't see much of your home, it's just the impression I got.

Yes I did read the OP but I am a poor third world shitter and need cheap oxford shirts and chinos for work. Is Uniqlo okay?

>>14608082

Second fit of the day, for the evening.

(I know, collar is ridiculous, but it was the only lavender OCBD I could find)

>>14613615
If prep approved rustles your autism replace it with 'approved list of quality brands'.

>>14614069
Ok you're shitting me if you're telling me the shoulders on this shirt aren't too wide. Also collar kind of sucks. What brand? I think you need to invest a bit more in your basics bruh.

Casual black derby shoe recommendations?

I like the DM 1461 but the shoe sole ruins the rest of it for me.

>>14614106
It was the only lavender OCBD I could find. Its from a cheap brand called Easy Wear from El Corte Inglés, quality is not high, but well, I wanted a lavender shirt. I dont consider a lavender shirt as a "basic", its actually something very rare.

See the shoulder thing now since I buttoned last button and put arms toghether, the seams of the shirt end right where the shoulder ends.

If you feel your shoulder there are two prominent bumps about an inch apart, one closer to your neck and the other farther away, the sleeve should begin at the nearer bump where the red arrow is, the shirt is just generally too big

why are you so devoted to lavender, if you don't mind me asking?

>>14613325 here

>>14613372
you're right. it's from an english oem called kingswood. comparable price and quality to barbour analogues, but the wax treatment is different so it doesnt need much maintenance. its nice not having to worry about re-waxing (plus no chance of staining leather), but it doesnt really show much natural wear, which is a downer. also another thing, i was super rough with one of the inner pockets and the stitching gave in like a month, but i got my mum to fix it and its been fine since lol (~2 years)
