I start the thread with this topic: Moleskin or Corduroy and why?

>>14840719
Moleskin. I hate cordorouy.

Daily reminder that this is how you fags look to normal people.

>>14840719
Corduroy, I LOVE the shine it has, also it's warmer. Great for F/W

>>14840724
AND??? That guy looks great.

>>14840724
>>14840724
You post this same image always within 10 min of the creation of a new thread, do you have autism? Why are you on 4chan 24/7? You know they have pills for that nowadays

>>14840719
Definitely Corduroy. I like the look and feel of the texture/pattern. Worn cords ever since i was a kid

>>14840723
>cordorouy
>The kind of person who hates corduroy is too dumb to even spell it
Kek

>>14840719
Corduroy so I can look like a based teddy bear. What are some tip pajamas? I sleep naked

Planning to pick up an OCBD from Mercer and Sons. What is an essential color aside from white? Any advice on fit specifications?

>>14841061
ecru/cream/beige can be nice. they're less harsh than white and play well with pale or reddish complexions

>>14841061
Light pink and light blue

Is it acceptable to wear a plain navy blue knit tie with a pastel pink tattersall shirt?

Going to Black Lapel to get measured for this coat. Thoughts? Suggestions?

>>14841181
Sure

>>14841196
Love that kind of coat

>>14841200

it's a $900 MTM option that will take a month to make, do you think it's worth it? How versatile would this be?

>>14841211
That's up to you, but yeah, versatility is high, specially on grey herringbone

>>14841232
Hmm, I need to decide between this brown and the grey herringbone, the only thing is that I already have a grey herringbone SB overcoat

>>14841261
Brown then, or green

>>14841061
blue, pink, light yellow. also these in uni stripe.

>>14841061
>Actually buying a Mercer OCBD
Based

>>14840719
Moleskin for sporty/innawoodsy stuff, cords for other stuff.

>>14840716
Why does nobody ever fucking post fits in these threads. It's always just a bunch of queers talking about what kind of boots to get or some other dumb shit.

>>14841232
>>14841265
For someone 6’5, Should I go for knee length or mid thigh?

>>14841402
If you want people to post fits, maybe you should go first. Be the change you want to see in the world, anon. :-)

lads where can I get decent undershirts for warmth but also to reduce wear on my shirts?
is something tight like this what I want (without the high neck)? https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-muscle-fit-long-sleeve-jersey-roll-neck-in-grey/prd/10310476

>>14841402
There are some fits in previous thread, you could post one for us

>>14841402
Because its a shitton of effort to post fits and who cares anyway, this style is clear enough to get your own inspo
Ive posted fits a couple times though

>>14841433
>a shitton of effort
Go to mirror, take a photo with your phone, upload it here... wow, it just takes 30 secs

>>14841402
I would post fits but my phone camera doesn't work.

>>14841446
30 sec i couldve used to jack off

Are there any image folders of oxfordclothbuttondown's fits? I can't access his blog.

>>14841446
I would need to expend at least 45 minutes trying to get the right angle and making sure my clothes have absolutely no wrinkles.

lol this stupid sweater makes me look fat

>>14841638
No, it doesn't. You are balding hard dude

>>14841660
Call it cope, but I've had this hairline + 5head since early middle school.

>>14841638
Those shoes are horrible please replace them. Otherwise ok fit

>>14841638
Nice. For me, it would be perfect with a the pants unrolled and the collar of the shirt resting over the sweater. I feel that way you could roll with pretty much anyone and it wouldn't be pretentious.

>>14841539
The wayback isn't working for me, I'll check out the insta though, thank you.

I only wear clothes when I leave my house

>>14841686
>>14841721
I chose the sneakers due to the walk to class being icy. They also help to keep me out larp territory.
>>14841858
It was a long day, and I really didn't care to press everything for a fit pic

I doubt npcs know what tip is. You’re not wearing a seersucker suit with a boater hat. Step outside your comfort zone.

>>14842052
normies only think of fratcore from movies and memes when they hear prep

>>14842078
You’re right

>>14842052
Wearing loafers out to a bar will get people asking why you're dressed like a grandpa. Sad but true

>>14842128
Well it depends on where you live obviously. Bumfuck nowhere yes. Paris (where I live) or any big city I imagine no.

>>14842128
Not really true at all. People don't give a fuck what you wear, let alone feel the need to talk to someone about their clothes. You're insecurity is palpable, loser.

>>14842078
yep

>>14842246
you sound like a seething bitch lol

>>14842246
So it sounds like you've never been to a party

What are some prep shoes that aren’t just straight up dress shoes? I’m just going to class wearing dress shoes makes you look like a try hard

>>14842275
It depends on what you consider "dress shoes" derbies and loafers are pretty casual but because of normies and globalization anything nicer than roshe's is labelled dressy. If you want some non leather /prep/ shoes get tretorns or some boat shoes in canvas.

>>14842264
>people make fun of me so everyone must get made fun of

If an old, tie purports to be "hand blocked in England" is it safe to assume it is entirely made in England?

>>14842275
Go with loafers.

>>14842275
Get spat shoes.

>>14841506
>he doesn’t use a prince of Wales collar

All the guys you larp as are 10+ years older than you

>>14842350
Ralph Lauren is 10 years older?

GUYS. I gave one of my tweed jackets a nice bath in cold water and let it dry flat. It's all fine, despite taking 5 days to dry but the collar/lapel seems to be not as flat down, am I supposed to iron it to sort that out?

>>14842275
chukkas

>>14842275
I just do it like this, but they might be too dressy for you too.

I hate boots. They remind me of Manual labor

>>14842128
That's false unless you only know idiots. Also don't go to bars because they're full of drunkard trash.

>>14842275
Bean Boot Mocs
Tretorn Sneakers

>>14842640
Steel toed boots and Reddit tier meme boos like Redwing depress me too anon. But as I posted earlier, a picture of Eton College, ankle boots are most definitely trad and effay.

>>14842630
What's bad with boots? If you live somewhere that's actually cold, they are practical.
>>14842128
Never happened to me. Just pick loafers with good, balanced lasts like Alden, Crockett & Jones or Carlos Santos and they won't look grandpa core.
>>14842630
Okay

Now, DESERT boots, otoh, you don't want to go down that road, if you are TIP. Because the entire design is made to be cheap. Crepe sole, they are a meme for a reason, because they are so cheap to make well. They are the boot-quivalent of Sneakers, with cemented rubber soles. Made for Infantry soldiers in the desert. Chukkas, are refined, and have the history behind them in terms of function.

>>14842666
I was wearing tassle loafers, which imo are pretty sleek as far as loafers go, and still got chirped. Then again, it's no surprise, when everyone else at the bar is in AF1s
+BD and nick, you should check out nick drake, van morrison, and leonard cohen

>>14842670
Yeah, I think it depends on the bar and the crowd. Obviously in a bar most frequented by 20-year old uni students, loafers will look off, and in some more rave-ish places as well.
I also really like MBV and Sonic Youth, but haven't listened to them in years – thanks for the reminder. Also, I am a big fan of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake, I think they were just outside of the top5. Van Morrison is good but I just never find myself actively listening to his music.

>>14841638
you're skinnyfat and nothing can hide that. start exercising

>>14842722
lol you're funny

>>14842722
You can’t even see his naked body. Those clothes fit him loose wtf lol

>>14842486
These look awful. I wouldn't associate these with tip at all.

>>14842350
Not all of us are 18 buddy.

Can somebody give me some rec. Brands for casual pants?(linen/cloth/wool)

>>14842756
Cloth?

>>14842743
They don't look awful. They are awful.

>>14842756
Bills khakis and LL bean

>>14842756
Duck head is pretty neat. So is prl. The gap if you're super poor. Just make sure to wash them on cold because they shrink like a bitch

Would rather wear some chinos from lands end

>>14842786
>PRL is bad
They are well made and the cotton is soft

Mediocre quality, foreign made, overpriced and worst of all low rise

Any Nike/Adidas niggersneaker that trash wears, is more expensive than nearly any Loafer

>>14842938
When I say mediocre I really mean Mall tier, and by foreign made I mean Chinese made. Making stupid investments and being a brand whore isn’t TIP.

>>14842878
Give examples for “nearly any loafer”. I also doubt the average sneaker user is wearing high end Jordans, Balenciagas, Yeezys, raf samons.

>>14843149
You can find lot of people wearing 150-250€ sneakers

Cop or not? Only 40€ on uniqlo it’s merino wool

These are polo chinos, I bought them at full price.

Could someone please post that picture of an Ivy Leaguer (?) walking down a college campus with white, slim fitting trousers?

I remember this picture was being posted during the slim versus drape tirade some threads ago

>>14843371
this one from take ivy?

it's worth remembering that those pictures were taken around the time that the ivy look was starting to decline

>>14843371
Those are white jeans, retard. Jeans aren't supposed to drape the way khakis do and khakis shouldn't be slim like jeans.

>>14843390
jeans shouldn't be slim either though. Straight ok, but not slim

>>14843390
this lmao
jeans: tapered or slim fit (depending on your leg)
chinos: regular or tailored (depending on your leg size again)

see pic rel

>>14843377
Yes, thank you

The problem here is that you are a feckless lout

So what do you all think of the duck boot? Just copped a pair for the shitty weather

>>14843344
Yeah sorry, I hate the constant bulge

>>14843494
She did sail across the ocean, which is pretty tip. But she's also a terrible dresser. So I would say no. Euros are notoriously non/tip/ so I would go with no overall

>>14840719
corduroy looks ridiculous

>>14843590

>Euros
>Not tip

Definitely not ivy or prep as these are American styles but hardly not read - there's different varieties of trad all over Europe (think English suiting and country trad Vs Italian style/trad / riviera core)

>>14843398
W2C tailored, 100% cotton chinos?

>>14843590
Americans all wear t shirts and basketball shorts. No one is prep anymore, even frat students (your upper class) dress like shit nowadays.
Meanwhile the upper class in Europe still wears something resembling prep day in day out

>>14843654
Cop 100% cotton chinos then get them tailored...?

>>14843670

Wew someone got triggered

>>14843753
Not mad, just having a laugh at eurotrash going all "we wuz trad n sheeeiit!"

the average american student in your poshest unis go out wearing pyjamas and sweatpants and you guys still try to claim that there is any semblance of trad left in that country

>>14843887
There isn't, not even teachers dress properly

>>14843887
Okay retard

>>14843670

American college students in the South still dress preppy. Eurofaggots wear tracksuits or pitti uomo slimshit faggotry.

>>14843956
Okay retard

where can I get cheap trousers with a lot of stretch and not slim? I understand these won’t have any quality at all and I need to get some for xmas day and I have big thighs, was just looking at Uniqlo EZY stuff

I have better trousers but I bought them for a size that I am not yet like a retard

How high is the import duty on Luxire cotton chinos in the EU?

>>14844178
zero

>>14843955

They wear their north face puffer jacket, joggers and cheap sneakers

they work in kebab shops, if they are really smart they go to a trade school and if theyre really geniuses they might make it to a uni of applied sciences

and this is not an exaggeration either, in my 300 man lecture there are maybe 2 black guys and 5 or so turks (but some amount of (south) east asians)

Confess
All my pants are slim fit

>>14841638
Lighter colours show your imperfections more than dark ones. Don't cuff those pants too much, it will look much better and maybe consider getting some proper shoes in due time.

>>14844321
See category two of my post: >pitti uomo slimshit faggotry

>>14842630

Asos you poorfag.

Be aware you won't look good.

Where does one get a blazer / coat like this?

>>14844859
Check eBay. That's where I go for blazers and knits

>>14844859
closest design I could find

>>14844912
>>14844859
I know the design is called Houndstooth fabric but I can't find many for a reasonable price or any that aren't hideous / bad quality. I copped one from Uniqlo but it's brown and I was trying to get some with more color

>>14844946
You're gonna have to search for a while or shell out. Shoes and outerwear are the most expensive part of tip

>>14844859
https://baltzar.com/products/tagliatore/beige-houndstooth-burgundy-check-wool-blazer/

is this similar enough?

>>14842630

>>14844859
Gunclub check is the pattern you are looking for. It can be found in some Abraham Moon & Son's fabrics, dunno which, and from Holland And Sherry there's one in the Ascot Soft Touch Collection and one in Moorland Tweed.

I just ordered a pretty similar jacket in Ascot Soft Touch in MTM from Herrainpukimo. Depending on the maker, it should cost about 600 - 1200 euros.

>>14843208
What in gods name are you doing anon

>>14845116
Posting a fucking fit . .

>>14844859
it's a harris tweed houndstooth. should not be too hard to find. beams also make one much like it.

Yay or nay

>>14845326
Yay

Isn't old Western Style basically "American Trad"?

>>14845362
No, old western style is old western style

>>14845367
I meant more like 19th Century Oil Baron Core,

>>14845379
That's how I dress sans the top hat.

>>14843249
Blade Runner core

>>14845016
Looks nice. Just be aware that it's an Italian jacket which won't necessarily match the the more slouchy style of/tip/ as it will be tight in the waist and short (it might not cover your bum). Look at the measurements to be sure

>>14845397
Rick Deckard is unironically kind of trad

>>14845326
Yes

>>14845397
Nah it's just retard core

>>14845326
Is that a J Crew? It looks pretty decent for them, they've been hit or miss the last year or so.

>>14845354
>>14845566
>>14845580
I got that one and this is one and yes they’re from J.Crew it’s their unisex 1988 rollneck sweater

Whaddaya guys think about wearing oxfords with chinos? Got a really nice pair of crockett and jones oxfords as a gift so want to wear them often, maybe even withbjust Chinos and a shirt+sweater

>>14845626

>>14845397
Tbh that makes more sense because I do use LunarCore as an inspiration on my style.

>>14845706
Go with Lopez Aragon, they have many houndstooth patterns to pick and they have 20% off full website, also different jacket models

>Structured
>Fused construction
>Shoulder padding

That's going to be a no from me homie.

How are zegna's shirts? I see so many of them sold so cheap at secondhand marketplaces (like one guy selling 13 of them for less than 20 euros) which makes me wonder what they are actually worth.
Also just received a Viyella shirt, feels like the golden fleece to a pleb like me

>>14844532
The majority of chinos I own have at least 1-2% stretch in them. I like to wear something comfortable and roomy. It’s either that or I size up in pants

>>14846589
Lol, why do you lurk here then?

>>14846613
BECAUSE THE MAN WANTS TO DRESS LIKE A MAN AND NOT A PREENING LOSER.

So the fuck are pants supposed to fit in the waist? How do you know? Feel like in any size one just falls off, but the other is too tight to wear comfortably. What do?

I know many guys here wear nearly always slim fit, but they don't post fits with them to avoid the shitfest, shitfest that probably comes from other slim fitters

>>14846683

Tbh slim fit looks better on me. But classic fit is way more comfy, thus trad, that’s half of the point of tip, to be comfy and not trying to be the Center of attention with form fitting tights.

tfw you will never look this good when you get older.

>>14846613
i like to discuss fashion and this is one of the few places that isnt overrun with blatant shitposting. when i shell out for new suits ill go for a more preppy cut though.

>>14846752
lol this thread has been a disaster the last 3 months

>>14846768
So you've been browsing 4channel for 3 months?

What Barbour model is the Queen wearing?

>>14846740
? He just looks fit. It’s achievable. People usually get lazy at that age and give up

>>14846768

/tip/ had some nice threads last summer. >>14846808
SLP threads usually have more oc, more fashion based discussion, and less trolls. It's quite sad how so many of the TIP threads are derailed by LARP bs

Any infographics or "starter packs" for this? I like to dress in oxfords and chinos but that's all I really know. I feel clueless trying to match shoes and stuff.

>>14846831
I’m curious to see what you consider “trolling” and “LARP bs”. Examples?

this is a start, but dont go above 2 lighthouses until you know what youre doing. also check out take ivy.

Is there a fall/winter version

Where my knit tie boys at?

>>14846971
Not that I know of, but just add LL Bean duck hunting boots to the shoe section, change the navy blazer from hopsack to wool, add corduroy and tweed sportcoats to the blazer section, maybe add fair isle sweaters to the sweater section, add a ski parka to the outerwear section, and add corduroys to the pants section.

>>14846971
>>14846990
Oh, and switch out the madras shirt for tartan flannel shirts.

>>14846971
depending on where you live you can just use the summer version. maybe swap out chinos for corduroys and twill if you need, but a good shirt, sweater and barbour jacket will keep you pretty warm. you can always wear an undershirt or even long johns if it gets too cold. maybe add in some wallabees (although theyre not traditionally preppy), or just get some bean boots instead of mocs.

>>14846993
llbean and woolrich are good placed for flannels, woolrich recently switched to manufacturing overseas though so i dont know if theyre still the same quality.

>>14846990

thanks lads

>>14847024
forgot to mention, the official preppy is good as long as you keep in mind that its satire and tone down what you wear accordingly.

>>14847020
What about wool flannels, are they /tip/? I 'vecome across a lot of older pendleton flannels and always go back and forth on purchasing

>>14840719
Moleskins are comfier, warmer and generally better but a nice pair of brown, fawn or wheat cords just looks fucking great.

>>14844946
That's not houndstooth in >>14844859 my man, that's a gun-club check. That might be why you're having trouble finding some.

>>14847175
the material doesnt matter that much, but wool flannels are warmer and can be itchy, necessetating an undershirt. long johns, a wool flannel, a cozy sweater and a duffle will get you through most winters in the northeast us, and even the midwest.

>>14841638
Hahahahahha what the fuck nigga

Here's some thoughts on tip based on my life that you might find interesting, well I now have the money to have bespoke jackets trousers and shirts made but as soon as I put them on I feel like I lose a part of myself, like I loose my edge to innovate, my drive to pull all nighters and then sleep on the floor of the office or in the car to get whatever I'm working on up and running. Putting on a jacket and trousers, let alone a suit, makes me feel like I won life, like the game has ended because I've defeated the final boss and now all that's left to do is roam around in my lvl 99 chars prancing and killing some low tier mobs, it's a pretty sickening feeling honestly.

I want life to fight back, I want to have to earn other people's respect, it keeps me on the edge, makes me feel alive. I want people to treat me normally, to know that I could go inside some run down joint and people would treat me just the same. I want to feel like the guy who washes his own car, repairs his own appliances, does his own gardening, who didn't change because of money.

It brings me great mental distress because I would love to dress tip, but I can't. I tried, for long enough, but these feelings never went away.

Embarrassing

Is the OCBD + any heavier over shirt the most kino of all clothing combinations?

I fucking love my oxfords bros. They're so stupidly versatile. I wore a white oxford under my Avalanche (hockey team) shirt and I thought it looked pretty good

>>14847338
pretty based

>>14847287
you just need to find new ways to challenge yourself. from your post you sonds like you didnt grow up preppy, so you might want to try breaking into that social circle. its full of little rules you need to learn, experiences youll never be able to have and need to make up for and appearances to keep up.

>>14847287
You have 0 confidence, anon.
You will never make it.

Thoughts?

>>14847490
Looks nice. I dont know what you intend to wear it with, but imo, it would look better with dark brown corduroys than it would with khakis.

>>14847527
Saw this on the last thread I like the shirt so I searched for one similar to it

What material does is this shirt made of? Looks like linen but it's not wrinkled to shit so I don't think it is. Can anyone help me out here?
What are some brands that offer shirts like that that I should check out?

>>14846497
>How are zegna's shirts

My only experience with them is reselling them secondhand. Sizing ran a bit small if I remember right. They seemed like decent shirts though.

>>14846497
>Viyella
Fucking based, I love my Viyella shirt.

>>14847621
That looks like linen. Maybe look at H&M Regular fit.

>>14847621
looks like chambray

>>14846971
Why don't you read the OP? It has a quick guide to prep and Ivy, with all you need

>>14846497
Viyella is fucking great man, so many people don't know them but the wool/cotton blend in chilly weather, gold.

>>14847621
Looks Linen to me.

>>14847621
Chambray

>>14847645
>>14847703
2 for linen

>>14847663
>>14847720
2 for chambray

The duality of man

>>14847621
>>14847728
Here another chambray

>>14847728
>>14847731
It has to be Linen, because there are some clearly visible lines. In chambray you won't notice those lines until you get very close to it. Another possibility could be Hemp

>>14847737
This is why I said linen

Do any of you actually go to an Ivy league or you just buy the clothes and larp

>>14847796
>Wearing shirt, sweater and chinos is LARPing

>>14847796
Ivy league students dont dress like this anymore, retard. Also, what >>14847825 said.

Is there a tweed version of this? I want to bully LARPers on /pol/

>>14847881
Holy shit nostalgia.
I remember when all of these pics took place in thread.

Fucking hilarious times.

new /fa/ sucks so bad.

Guys, is this site legit?
https://www.johnsmedleyoutlet.com

>>14847881
Its not a /pol/ thing or /fa/ thing.
Tweed is on the up right now.

is it fine to ask for cop reccs here or should i do it on the cop or not threads only?

>>14848097
Sure, it wouldn't be the first time it gets done here

I look terribly fat in photo, I don't know why

>>14848172
Prolly cause you’re fat m8, it isn’t a tough riddle

>>14848172
alright then, I stumbled upon this sweater that costs 26 euros, it seems quite nice to me but I'm a pleb so I require opinions about it

>>14847994
No lol

>>14848230
wtf of course it is!

>>14847881

I wear a lot of tweed but I live in rural Britain. What exactly is it that /pol/ does that's so bad?

>>14848237
No lol

>>14848172

Wait and give it a few years till you have actual shit to do then they'll all be like that anyway.

Are either of these cheap chink phone cases /fa/, or should I play it safe with a normal leather wallet style case? I like the designs, but I'm worried that they might be a little bit too extravagant for a preppy look

>>14848308
Who cares man buy it if you like them

>>14848221
If it's 100% wool, go for it

>>14848308
I like the one on the right

>>14848405

>I like the one on the right
Then, sorry to tell you this, but you have shit taste.

>>14847287
I’m in the same boat. If anything, I’m even more motivated now to improve my life because I’m slowly discovering I’m not even close to reaching my ceiling with every step I take down the rabbit hole. With every error I make or bad fit, I learn more about myself, and what I can do to improve things I feel should be improved upon. I then take this knowledge and apply it to my life, hoping to steer it into greater direction.

I was homeless for 5 years until earlier this year. Your ceiling today will be your floor tomorrow. We’re all going to make it.

>>14846990
hopsack is a weave not a material type. It's also usually wool.

>>14848479
Okay buddy. Worsted wool or Flannel rather than hopsack. Better?

Black gloves make you look like a peasant, white gloves are too formal unless youre wearing white tie.

If your gonna wear peccary gloves go with grey, brown, or burgundy

not good traction for city walking. I've had mine for a decade and they will 100 percent keep your feet dry though.

>>14847547
the llbean one is non-iron cotton which gives the shirt an unattractive feel and look.
check out pendleton

>>14846796
I think its one of their older weirdly named models like "Northumbria" or something like that. If you wanna get into Barbour buy a Beaufort. Ive also had an ashby and did not like it at all. Hers looks more insulated/warmer though. Beaufort isn't as heavy.

>>14847287
my friend and I have a name for the person you describe wanting to be. we call it the "Eddie Bauer Millionaire". they are the dudes that you see at flea markets wearing faded, worn out clothes (usually things they've worn for a decade at least) that have stains on them or are frayed. but when they reach for something you see a Rolex poking out. and when they are done for the day you see them load the antiques or things they bought at the flea market into an Eddie Bauer edition SUV. these are guys who have run the course and give zero fucks. they'll haggle price on things but not in an offensive way. they usually wear stuff with no branding on it but you can tell its usually orvis or ll bean or rrl or old brooks brothers. if you are east coast sometimes they are in really fucked up carhartt barn coats. these aren't outdoorsmen or camping enthusiasts but generally sportsmen of some sort. sounds like you gotta find a hobby anon that clears your head. go skiing this winter. or find someone to play tennis with. become more practical about things, and less precious about them.

>>14850833

Northumbria isn't weird Anon. It's where I live.
