>>14803079

>>14803215
I've heard it's between Gap and LL bean. My dad got me a Lands end monogrammed bathrobe last christmas and it's pretty luxurious. Paired with my katana it makes a very interesting contemporary comfy samurai fit

Noticed the new KJP flannels don't purport to be made in the USA in the descriptions. My guess is the entire brand will be chinese by next year.

>>14803255

Anyone know where I can some quality oxford shirts and sweaters for under $150?

>>14803463
I’d keep my eye on brooks brothers for holiday sales. I’m pretty sure they had a sale where you buy 4 shirts(madeinusaones) and they give you a 20-35%off.

>>14803463
Sweaters? Jamieson perhaps.

>>14803463
>>14803486
I was right they have a sale of 3 Oxford shirts for 30% off. Each one is 140$ x 3 that’d be 420 and with the 30% it would somewhere around 290 plus tax. I’m pretty sure they’ll throw in the free shipping. Imo it’s worth it.

Can one of our actual TIP guys explain this to me, this is a really old pic of clearly TIP dress, those look like bespoke tailored trousers maybe? They are very close cut to the legs. So What's the deal here. Slim-Fit Redditors please do not attempt to respond to this.

>>14803957

>>14803966
Because TIP encompasses all ranges of pant fit. Evening wear is supposed to be slimmer, and it isn't uncommon to see slimmer pants in older prep/ivy pictures.

>>14803966
TIP posters seem to have an obsession with the 50s and "drape", even though drape actually translates to clothes tailored to you that have enough fabric breathe more life to the garment through movement. It's not just baggy shit. Your picture seems to be from the 20s or 30s where clothes were closer fitting. I think this is the minimum leg width allowed when it comes to TIP, cheers

>>14804534
>athletic
bruh. homo in pic is skinny fat. also looks better when tan.
i look more like this, would also polo, not t-shirt

>>14804554
Those pants are slim fit. And the more you go to the past, the skinnier they'll go

>>14804581
as an oldfag who's always worn /tip/ shit, i find the fit orthodoxy dumb. i have dad's handed down draped 80s shit, roomy, high waisted 90s and slim/straight modern fits of chinos. Cuts change with the times. It's a style and a spirit, not a costume.

>>14802270

>>14804713
>It's a style and a spirit, not a costume
It's not. There is Rules to it. You don't want to follow them, you are not TIP. It's simple. That's the entire point of it, to have boundaries that are real and tangible.

>>14803966
That picture predates /tip/ by a couple decades.

Trad harks back to the 50s
Ivy really becomes a style in the 50s and 60s peaking at 1969 and then pretty much disappearing forever.
Prep as it is worn today owes its existence to the prep revival in the 80s

>>14804793
Nah, it's like you don't even know what style is about. Being prep for example is as much about an ethos and themes being played upon as it is about some staples. Here are some important guidelines of being prep:

clean cut, wholesome
healthy, athletic
academic, smart casual
clothing made from natural fibres
comfortable not constraining

Yes ocbds are important but i'd say the above ideas are much more important.

>>14804793
Rules are for cucks, each individual should have it's personal style, you can base it on some particular style with its guidelines, as the ones discussed here, but following it always it's hardcore LARPing. Be unique and follow this >>14804816

>>14804827
following infographics and following rules is for reddit

It's not. It's funny that every time someone contradicts anyone -> R-r-r-eddit!

Not sure what point you're trying to make. He'd look worse with longer shorts.

>>14804554
>>14804581
None of this shit is applicable. You don't wear Slim Fit because you want to be comfortable, you only wear it because you are trying to be like a girl wearing tight form fitting pants when you don't have to.

What is the most comfortable kind of casual shirt for layering? My style isn't strictly TIP but it's certainly derivative. I don't know if I should go for something like an oxford or chambray or maybe linen shirt, I just want the most comfortable shirt to wear under sweaters.

>>14805063
Slim fit is only tight if you are muscular.

Slim fit is gay. I agree fuck certain rules, but that shit looks bad on people. You got twig lanklets on here with child bearing hips and shit upper bodies wearing slim(You)knowhwoyouare). It makes your hips look rounder/wider and legs look like toothpicks bc of the tapered leg.
At least wear slim straights or a straight fit. The only way someone can pull a slim fit off is if they have a dominant upper body with narrow hips.
Aaand if you’re wearing a loose fitting fit make sure the hem/cuff ends at the mid section of your ankle! Spend some monis and get that shit tailored.

>>14805219
I think people should distinguish between slim and skinny. Skiny always. always, always looks like complete shit. But having pants that are a bit more fitted than just standard fit looks better on certain bodies. BB Regent fit suits come to mind.

Not sure on this sweater. its 27% cotton 24% wool 24% poly 19%nylon and 6% acrylic. Should I just get a full wool one instead?

>>14805735
yes

Can someone help me find a type of polo just from description?

I despise the standard polo shirt you see everywhere but I've seen polo shirts I really liked. They usually have a more relaxed collar, sometimes don't have any buttons. The collar is sometimes one piece with the rest of the shirt and sits open.

How long will top-quality wool items last if you only hand wash them?

I know that striped rugby shirts have dorky/chris-chan connotations, but what about plain rugby shirts? I've been thinking about getting one to use as a fall/winter alternative to a polo, what do you guys think?

If you look like a dork you’ll look like a dork in everything.

>>14805936
>Among normal nonchanners they do not
Not chris-chan necessarily, but many normies do associate them with dorks. Honestly, I don't personally like the striped ones, so I'm just asking if plain ones are TIP approved.

>>14805960
A plain rugby is fine but the stripes largely what differentiate it from a long sleeve polo also >>14805937

>>14806000
idk, rugbys are actually made differently and have heavier cloth than a polo shirt does

>>14805859
You'd have to fuck up pretty bad for them to not last a decade or more. Just spot wash and apply a cedar scented wool spray. If shit really hits the fan, take it to a dry cleaners.
Personally I try to never wash my knitwear, and its worked so far

>>14806488
I really like your pants, where did you get them?

>>14803966
Trad guy here, gonna try to answer this seriously.
The first thing to keep in mind is that there were a lot of fashion trends in the past as well and many of them looked like absolute shit, BUT those were discared as failed experiments and cannot be regarded as traditional (as they were not at the time, and are not now). Wearing them makes you look like a LARPer. There used to be a guy on Styleforum (I think it was) who looked like the epitome of an 80s teen-movie nerd and who insisted on only wearing the screwiest imaginable 30s and 40s trendclobber; he looked absolutely mad and probably subscribed to Chap magazine.
Trad is about timeless cuts, not about obsolete trends. So just because you can find some shit in a picture, that doesn't mean it's trad.


Secondly, it's hard to judge from one picture but it looks to me like these trousers aren't cut like a modern slim fit, they're what some people call a "guards" cut (especially noticeable on #2 from the right although he diverges from the classic guards cut by having a turn-up). These are trousers cut to resemble those of 19th-century cavalrymen, specifically the "Horse Guards" who were regarded as a dashing regiment with a good-looking uniform. They have a tapered leg, but a high rise and a fairly generous thigh, which differs from the typical slim fit; they were also typically worn with a half-break, not this hideous ankle shit that you see now (in fact, the only trouser cut I know of that has anything like an ankle length is for older winter suits, where boots are assumed and the tailor wants to keep slush and mud off your hems).
This whole thing is less important than the first point, though, since as I said I could easily be wrong going off only one photo and the general principle is more important anyway than some quibble about specific cuts.

I hope this helps.

>>14804871
I like plain or striped scarves. Muted tartan or some other check is second best. Fair isle patterns just look weird to me on scarves, like somebody cut up a jumper to wrap around his neck. I know that's irrational, but that's what taste is.

The worst scarves are those large-patterned fag scarves in modal rayon that imitate Hermés silk ones at a higher price and that various GQ-oid menswear retailers are trying to foist on guys. Those look absolutely ghastly in every way.

>>14806530
ASOS Harris Tweed, it's actual Harris Tweed and quite cheap, search for "Harris Tweed" at ASOS, they have many models all in slim fit (not skinny).

Calm down buddy. You would probably seethe less if you stopped wearing skintight, constricting slimshit crap. Lol

Shit, I wanted some cableknit wool sweater in green, but can't find any good looking one, I am looking for one with a colour close to the one I posted in previous post, but that one gets ruined with those shitty patches (also, has 20% synthetic)

>>14807077
id on pic ? i like the shoes

Also : no, the sweater would typically be thinner at the elbows

>>14807100

In last threads I saw many comments saying that boots suck or something similar? what's bad about boots? They are the perfect F/W footwear

>>14807064
they're very go to hell imo. so everything else needs to be toned down if you were to get them. like super toned down.
maybe pair it with a beige simple wool sweater and a white button down under.

$125 a pop for J Press OCBD. Dunno why anyone would waste the extra dosh on Brooks. If you're smart about it, you can abuse the 10% off welcome codes unlimited.

Omg slim fit

How do you wear cords and where do they fall on the "formality" spectrum relative to jeans->chinos->slacks?

>>14808152
Too much drape to be slim fit. They don't look like leggings.

>>14808164
Between jeans and chinos. Five pocket cords are closer to jeans, four pocket cords are closer to chinos.

>>14808152
That's a straight fit. Notice how below the knee it doesn't taper?

>>14806968
Actually it does. Now gtfo this thread you are literally cancer

Aren't most flannel shirts essentially prep? The designs on them are, just not the material but most people wouldn't know it was flannel anyway.

I rarely see flannel shirt + sportsjacket combo though here.

>>14807890
That's because they're English. The gap between English men and women's looks is like those jungle tribes in Tarzan where the women are normal human women but the men are chimps, except in reverse.

Flannel's aren't well suited to wear with a sports coat or blazers. They primarily work with prep as overshirts.

>>14808286
Lots of traditional flannels can be worn with sport coats in a kind of British way, but these flannels aren't so similar to the chunkier ones American has traditionally produced as workwear or sportwear.

Is it acceptable to wear a NATO watchstrap if I don't have a matching belt?

Difference between trad ivy and prep in terms of style?

how do I sell this look if I'm a poor 20 year old?

>>14808379
Ivy and Prep are really just marketing schemes, that were originated in the 50s. Created to sell clothing to University students on Campus. Trad, is the only actually authentic style, it originates in the wealthy families who could actually afford tailored bespoke clothing, Private Schooling, University educations pre 1950. Back when Higher Education was actually legitimate and wasn't just Paper Mills that serve to make profit off the middle/lower class.

"Holes". Get a cheap ocbd and place it towards a light, then do the same with a BB/PRL one, you'll see less light goes thought It. Also they should be softer because they use better cottons such as supima

>>14808440
I remember buying a couple VH shirts, they were cheap but decently made.

My pair of Brooks Brothers/Allen Edmonds cap toes just arrived. I think i'm gonna coooom. They're such a huge upgrade from my plebby branded shoes I got from some crappy store like 10 years ago. I kinda hope someone notices them at work next week desu. They're so aesthetic.

Only thing i'm disappointed about is that they don't fully close in the lace area because my feet are wider than I thought, but it doesn't even look bad. It's no returns anyways.

>>14808643
>I think i'm gonna coooom.
You realize how cringey this sounds I hope.

>>14804871
I like all the ones you listed except the plain colored ones, they are too dull and accesories should give some colourful vibes without ruining the outfit

can I put wool/shetland sweaters in a washing machine if there is a "hand wash" setting?

i'm really hesitant because I don't want it to be fucked up or shrunk after I buy them but surely if they didn't test hand wash, they wouldn't be selling the appliance with it??

>>14808717
Would not risk it

>>14808717

>>14808718
>>14808728
how often should I be washing them then or how many wears?
i'd imagine not often but how do i clean little things and make sure that it never gets dirty/odor since sweat accumulates anyway?

Anyone know of any company that produces a blazer like this?

>>14808495
I'll take the bait just so I can repeat what we repeat every time.
The vast majority of this thread is 25~ and working in an office. That's the basis for this thread and it's demographic.
>>14808643
which ones did you get?
>>14808717
absolutely fucking not.
>>14808733
I have sweaters that I've never washed in 2+ years of ownership. If they don't smell, there is zero point to washing them. They should never be touching your skin so no sweat should be getting on them. So unless you've spilled something or fell in dirt. Why even bother?
If you actually do need to clean your sweaters. Go to a dry cleaner that'll do it.

>>14808733
That fair isle sweater I wear in last pic hasn't been washed in the last year. Some other sweaters I have haven't been washed in 2-3 years. Wool is antibacterial and doesn't get bad smell easily. If you notice smell or it's dirty, wash hand it, if not leave it.

I put my wool in the washing machine, no problem. Doesn't your machine have a wool program? Use a special wool product, not regular stuff and NEVER put it in the dryer. Dry it flat, not hanging.

two Qs

I’m not sure if I should get brushed/shaggy sweaters or non shaggy? I like the non shaggy look more but idk.

Is there a way I can dress down an OCBD under sweater so it’s more appropriate where I am? Shirts make me warm as fuck but also it’s really too dressed up for my environment. Maybe just a long sleeve mock neck tee so there would still be visible ‘collar’ and ‘cuff’? Alternative is just a roll neck ofcourse but eh.

>>14809289
What productive contribution was made to this discussion by pointing out one exception?

>>14809335
>>14809335
1: Its up to your personal preference.
2: What environment are you in where an open-collar buttondown is "too dressed up?" Stop holding yourself to normie standards.

>>14809349
Have an extra one

>>14809335
1. Whatever you like, if you go for Shaggy: Shetland Woolen Co will be disccounted with 20% in The Idleman during Black Friday
2. Dress as you like, ignore the rest of society

Ok zoomer

How to copy his hairstyle?

>>14809356
>>14809360
Thanks, I am an engineering student and everyone here wears nothing interesting or full tech/streetwear (which I do too) and I am working in a garage most days so an OCBD isn’t practical/feels restrictive/very hot and I would really look out of place here. I’m not worried about other people’s perceptions it just doesn’t fit the environment.

Thanks for the rec and END clothing also have a sale for some knitwear too so that’s an option.

Shaggy or non shaggy is just a looks thing?
Should I be buying TTS or sizing up for a shirt/tee underneath?
I also am not sure if I should get roll or crew necks or both for variety. I’m looking at off whites/black/charcoal/brown so the roll neck will most likely be black and I’m not sure about a crew colour since my pants are all charcoal/black and I definitely don’t have ivy colour because I prefer darker colours but I look here for inspiration. If I can roll a roll neck down low enough for a collar then I’ll just get roll necks for more use.

How is this?

>>14809425
>>14809356
see this also emphasis on how restrictive and hot I find them when doing work

How is this?

>>14809426
I dislike it

>>14809425
>Shaggy or non shaggy is just a looks thing?
I read somewhere that shaggy ones are warmer bacuse the brushing spreads the wool fibers and make it harder for the heat to escape, I don't know how true that is

>>14809425
Don't wear ocbd when working in the garage, breh. It's a waste of a shirt and not practical I can imagine. At work I never dress well, it's my days off when I dress for myself that I dress 'up'.

>>14809441
yea thanks so I guess a long sleeve mock neck tee will look somewhat similar
the problem is that on my days off I just don’t go anywhere to dress up so I have to try the other days of the week

>>14802278
It may be tweed.
