Thread start topic: What are your opinions on D-Ring belts? They are definitely summer wear, is there any way of wearing them in winter?

>>14937118
Been thinking about getting some loafers that I can wear everyday, from completely casual up to business casual (I rarely dress above that I’m 19) was thinking about weejuns in dark brown or pic related? Also loafers with shorts Y/N? It should be noted I don’t really dress preppy I was told to go here after asking this question in the boots general thread

>>14937146
I am also a size 11 shoe should I go same size, up or down?

>>14937146
Don't get those from the pic, are very hard to wear and will look out of place nearly everywhere. Same model in brown is far more versatile, if you get lighter browns instead of dark brown it can work well with shorts.

Suede tassel loafers, suede string loafers and bit loafers will look better with shorts imho

I bought a vintage sack blazer from ebay and had a tailor alter the sleeve a bit. I love how this sits in the upper back! Will post more fit pics tomorrow.

>>14937185

Reminder that to be TIP you must at least (minimum requirements):
>Be White
>Be of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic descent
>Be a Protestant Christian, preferably a Mainline Protestant (fundamentalist Christianity is for rednecks)
>Wear Classic Fit clothes exclusively
>Go to college or have gone to college
>Be in shape. Lardasses are not TIP
If you're non-white, your ancestors weren't from England, Scotland, Wales or at least Ireland, you're a Catholic (Kennedy is the ONLY exception), you wear slimshit, or you haven't received/aren't recieving a college education, then you can't be TIP. Period.

>>14937187
Good cop. I've had so much difficulty finding decently fitting blazers off ebay that I've more or less given up, but the pricing is so hard to pass up

Is this too many layers?

Let's get the OC going boys. Bonus barbour pic (the tie is a knit dark brown and trousers are navy), also these are the slimmest trousers I own
>>14937187
Fantastic, have you posted fits in these threads before? I remember some two years back an anon posting a bespoke blue blazer (still had stitches on) and the backgrounds seem similiar.

>>14937361
Also the bottom half

Opinions on this for a travel bag?

>>14937361
That's an awful fucking fit, but no, a shirt sweatshirt and jacket is not too many layers.

>>14937327
>>14937364
Thank you! That must be some other anon, as I haven't posted a fit at that place before ( I had my tailor take a photo. I have posted pics before of my fits, but my phone camera sucks and I don't really have a place to take good photos. Here's one of my earlier pictures. I really need some better solution.

I really like your fit, although I'd say the jacket's buttoning point looks a bit too high for my tastes. The slimness of the trousers isn't bad at all, they suit you and seem to be quite high rise.

>>14937327
This was also my first time finding good stuff on ebay, usually shopping for jackets just doesn't work without trying them on. This time, the yoke measure and the pit to pit measure were within 0,5cm of my MTM measurements, so I thought I would give it a shot. Just got lucky I suppose, because there are so many things that could still go wrong: arm / shoulder pitch, upper back / neck posture, armhole height etc.

That's nice but seems like modern Amish

>>14937403
Yeah, I've bought three on ebay. Two are okay but the third one is too large in the shoulders and a bit too large in the chest -- I sent it to the tailor for some alterations. Will try and post pics when I get it back tomorrow.

What sort of coat would this be? All I know is that it's wool, a dark navy blue, and has both zips and buttons.

>>14937398
Are you really posting again

>tfw your wardrobe is basically complete at this point and you don't have any non-superfluous purchases left

im sure you can poke holes in it based on whatever standards/taste you have but i can't think of anything i really need. maybe a bit more variety in terms of shirt patterns and some olive chinos or something.

>>14937187
This is good.

>>14937364
Blazer's loose on you but I actually like the louche drape that gives it.

>>14937398
Why bother posting when you only have pics so low res that the tab on your braces is one pixel? It's impossible to make out whether this is good or bad.

>>14937585

>>14937614
my workplace is very casual and people here dont wear them when they aren't working. i forgot that i have one navy sportcoat i got tailored for an event 4 years ago but i havent worn it since.

>>14937623
>people here dont wear them when they aren't working
Don't ant to offend you or anything but it may be time to nut up. Dressing for others is a pretty bad idea to begin with in most cases and in yours, wherever it is you live seems to be a sad bore.

>>14937624
i just dont really have occasions to wear it (probably why other people dont wear them either). if im going out its either to hang out at a friends place or to a pub/cafe and it'd be very out of place there. do people go to bars or to friends places wearing sportcoats where you are? guess it depends on your age group too.

>>14937368
I don't like the handle. Personal opinion.

Is TIP really a "lifestyle?"

I'm saying, if you like that style you should do it regardless of if others do it. Who cares whether "people" do it?

If you save an extra 100 or so you can get AE loafers which are 1000 percent better and will last you a long time. Also you can wear them with shorts.

I've bought two brooks sack jackets and fit is perfect on both from the front. Sadly, I've just noticed that the vent is hanging open on both. My ass is too big or something. fml.

Should I get the rugby shirt tailored or does it look better when's it's a bit looser? Also the stripes are navy not black.

>>14938060
Dont think u should tuck it

>>14938060
No don’t get it tailored just kys

>>14938065
The cut is cheap and horrible. The pants look really cool and billowy but it also accentuates your narrow shoulders. As a man small top with big bottom is a very unflattering silhouette.

I would have gone with the rugby going 1-2 sizes up so it's not overly constricting with the button down underneath and boxy enough that if you did tuck it in billows out just enough to remain boxy and keeping your silhouette more like a rectangle than a triangle.

>>14938102
So pic no.1 looks better?

>>14938060
W2c trousers?

>>14937965
Actually, using longer "proper" words ("children" instead of "kids", "wealthy" instead of "rich", "beverages" instead of "drinks", etc) is a very middle class affectation.

>>14938119

>>14938060
>>14938065
You're not supposed to tuck it in when you're using it as a layering piece. Only tuck it in when you're wearing it by itself. In preppy layering, you tuck the button down and anything under it (short sleeve polo, jersey turtleneck, henley), but you don't tuck anything worn OVER the buttondown (sweater, rugby, jacket, etc)

>>14938065
Are those pants QUADRUPLE pleated?

>>14938143
Actually No

Are harringtons TIP?
Any inspo?

>>14938181
Sadly that pic you just posted is the only known Harrington inspo. It was mostly lost in the blackout of 1999 when a nasa scientist released a computer virus in an attempt to avert a y2kbased disaster

>>14938181
Yes

>>14938181
It's a pretty basic item that you shouldn't really need inspo for, but here you go. More Mcqueen.

There's a jacket at Goodwill that seems to be a sort of knockoff Harrington. It's tan with a plaid lining, but it doesn't have the elastic bottom, and the collar is pointed like a shirt collar instead of the button collar that a harrington has. Should I buy it or not? Additional question, is it acceptable to wear a tan jacket with khakis, or would that look too "matchy-matchy"? I like the way tan jackets look, but I almost always wear khakis, so I don't want to waste money on a jacket that I will barely ever wear.

>>14938226
Buy it and start to branch out from wearing khakis

>>14938217
>Mcqueen: King of TIP?
I'm not sure about "king", but a good example of the style. Of course, he wasn't always TIP, I see his style as sort of a blend of TIP, Mod, and Americana.

>>14938236
>Buy it and start to branch out from wearing khakis
I already have some other pants (brown corduroys, tan jeans, blue jeans, and a few pairs of slacks) but khakis are my usual go-to casual pants. What else should I try? I would like to get some GTH pants, but I wouldn't want to wear them everyday. If you overuse GTH stuff you start to lean more toward fratshit than TIP.

>>14937361
I like the varsity jacket look. Also where did you get that northwestern shirt?

Does anyone know if tretorns are uk or us sizing?

>>14938060
the ocbd on underneath looks weird imo

Not really American prep but English country but does anyone have a Norfolk jacket? I picked up one for a good price, they are just harder to find than your usual tweed sports jacket.

What kind of jeans do you wear? I have a pair of straight legged raw denim

>>14938319
>Dr. Livingston, I presume?

>>14938326
I also have a pair of straight legged raw denim. I don't wear jeans often but I try to keep one pair

How does one wear their pants at the waistline without looking like a total dork?

>>14938390
What? How do you wear yours?

>>14938187

Speaking of a Harrington, I picked up one of these cheap basic ones a while back. It's actually pretty comfy, the lining inside is 100% cotton.

Any inspo for fits?

>>14938399
At the hips.

>>14938429
Lol faggot. Take your low rise pants back to r*ddit.

>>14938505
They're not "low rise pants." I'm just pudgy and find wearing things at the waist uncomfortable.

>>14938719
Is tweed durable enough for everyday wear?

>>14938677
uhh thats what the zippers for

>>14938760
yes, I think so
but it depends on what you do
where I live I can only wear heavy wool stuff like two months out of the year

Oh and what about when u go #2

What did you guys think of the suits in Prada FW20

So, if one was to order a sweater what yarn are we looking at, I would like a bullet point description of any of these weave types you own and what they are best suited for
Also. If one were to buy a scarf, what weave is best for what purpose.

You have to be careful what you want, these are both cable knit "sweaters" but the left one is obviously alot thinner and different function. I use to have this amazing Polo sweater cable knit it had these flecks in it, it was off white but I gave it away to charity. I still curse giving that away before I went into my all black avant garde phase. It was a fabulous sweater that was of very high quality, that was like 7 or 8 years ago though.

>>14939060
It was knitted like the one on the right, but the actual thickness and density of each "Cable" of yarn? was very thick, it was almost like you could see every single thread of the yarn and they were very thick and large.

>>14939060
>all black avant garde phase
>7 or 8 years ago
so you were one of those gothninja kids

>>14939060
Buy a new one

>>14939019
All have the same function: keep you warm. I'd say the main difference between them is the looking and the price

>>14939086

>>14938975
>Blackhorse Lane NW1 Denim

I have been eyeing a pair of their denim for a while, how is sizing, fit, and quality from them? Apparently they used to make Drake's denim, who was the brand to really make me want some nice jeans to wear with tailoring in the first place. More pics of the fit sans jacket would be appreciated too.

>>14939311
The quality is absolutely the best I have ever seen, really great in all aspects. You can read about their superior construction from permanentstyle's review. The fit is the best I have had, but it is of course subjective. I have a pretty large ass and legs compared to my waist, and my hips are quite "long" - my hip bone is very high up, and to get trousers to navel lavel requires a huge rise. The jeans sit at 1cm below the navel for me, and what I love is the fit in the ass - the back rise is very long compared to the long rise, resulting in a balanced fit for my bigger ass. The thigh measurements are good as well, they aren't proportionally as big as the back rise but big enough so that they fit very well. The fit is nice and straight, the hems at about 20cm.

I can post fit pics later on, but I really love the jeans and recommend them. The Drake's ones, I believe, are based on the E1 model, a much slimmer, tapered variation that didn't really fit me at all. The NW1 model is more relaxed and classic, harkening to the likes of Levis' 1955 501.

>I have a pretty large ass and legs compared to my waist, and my hips are quite "long"

This is literally my exact build, and though I didn't know the term for it, I think short back rises were what usually put me off jeans I've tried on. Did you get yours at full price or do they ever have sales?

Many of those are actually buzzwords, for example: aran, aran lightweight and donegal are all merino wool. Jamieson and shetland are both shetland wool. Depending on what you are looking for, you might prefer one thing or another. Basically all are to keep you warm as the other anon said. On scarves avoid tweed scarves if your skin is sensitive to wool

>>14938975
>turtlenecc
https://eu.suitsupply.com/en/knitwear/off-white-turtleneck/SW1016.html
Is it this one? How warm and how thin is it?

>>14939415
Then I think the jeans would be good for you! I paid full price minus the 17% discount one gets from the first order. Definitely quite expensive, but I wanted the best. I have since also bought ecru denim from Luxire with the near-same measurements (they are MTM after all) for 90 euros. If you want to go cheaper, buy the blackhorse ones, and if the measurements are good for you, return them and order from Luxire. They have good japanse selvedge denim from about 100€. Definitely not as good build quality as the NW1's, but also much cheaper.

>>14939477
It is the same one, yes. One of the best turtlenecks I have had, honestly. Not overly thin, meaning you won't see through it and it doesn't feel like a thin merino sweater; instead it feels like geelong. It is very warm and comfortable. The neck itself is possibly the best I've had in a turtleneck. It is very high and tight, and doesn't look sloppy or stretched after use.
I can't think of anything better for its price.

How do I style loafers, brown and black ones?

Are black loafers and white socks not TIP?

>>14939515
Brown ones are easy, they work with everything. Black ones seem to work fine with navy chinos or jeans

>>14938975

$175 isn't a lot for a solid pair of shoes.
Honestly I can't comment on the sneakers but the ranger mocs and boat shoes are absolutely top tier. I wore sperrys a lot when I was in high school/college but I'll never go back now.
I have some calvin klein sneakers that have lasted but my next pair will be rancourt.

>>14940605
They're not terrible. I'm leaning towards Sperry's Striper shoe, especially because it's so cheap. If it falls apart, who cares, it costs 40 bucks?

What are some TIP approved colors? Is white really the only way to go?

>>14940644
>people pay $200 for piece of shit adidas and nike shoes
Not people, niggers do. I understand paying more for something made of leather, and I get it.
But I'm not paying 150 bucks for something made of canvas with a sole glued to it.

>>14940649
>Not people, niggers do. I understand paying more for something made of leather, and I get it.
I totally agree. I would get rancourt leather sneakers over canvas, I stopped wearing canvas awhile ago.
>But I'm not paying 150 bucks for something made of canvas with a sole glued to it.
fair enough. the made in america shtick also is usually what pushes me to that extra $25-50 most others won't shell out.

>>14940625
Woah, calm down sperg. Did I strike a nerve? Lol

I'll be in the city tomorrow and there is a Brooks Brothers outlet there.
I've heard conflicting things. Are their oxfords still the best? Are they worth the price? How are they different from a brand like Polo? Are you just paying a MiUSA tax for them are they really worth it?
I just want to spend my money on things worth spending it on. Otherwise I might just get a J. Press shirt instead

Today at Goodwill, I found a Hart Schaffner and Marx suit for 20 dollars. It needs to have the sleeves shortened a bit, but it fits well otherwise.

ive recently bought black horsebit loafers, what are some secret TIP rules i need to know about wearing them? or any advice on loafos in general please

>>14940884
Wear them with grey or navy suits or slacks. Black shoes do not look good with earth tones (khakis, brown tweed, etc). I am also fond of wearing them sockless with white chinos in Summer, but that comes down to personal taste.

I have a green/brown (mainly green) tweed sports jacket. Do you think a clash of black pants is too much? I really like the jacket but I don't want to wear it with green/brown pants as I feel I would look too country. I want it to look a bit more modern.

>>14940939
Wear navy or charcoal pants. The only black TIP items are tuxedos, loafers, dress shoes, and knit ties.

>>14940945
I want to be half tip and a lot of my items are dark colors/greys. Charcoal would be ok.

>>14940819
go to the outlet and look at the clothes yourself. I wouldn't buy any shirts tho, they go on sale (4 for $200) all the time.

If you went to a public high school and/or a State Uni (here in States) you're def. not TIP

True TIP:
>WASP (English, Scots, or Scots-Irish ONLY)
>at least 6 feet tall
>Blue, Grey or Green Eyes (no brown or hazel eyes)
>At least one pre-WWII ancestor (preferably paternal) who attended an Ivy (preferably Princeton or Harvard, Yale and the other

>You have at least ONE pre-WWII ancestor who was in Who's Who or the Social Register
Anything other than this is just suburban middle class McMansion dwellers posing as preps.

>>14940939

Wear grey or sand coloured flannels. Don't wear black trousers, doesn't really work there.

>>14940945
Black is like the exclamation point -bold face of Colour (in Fashion terms). This explains why it is not good for a proper classical tip look, because black emphasises and formalises and tip is casual and modest.

>>14941141
>>14941175
I am going for semi-tip inspired. Like how a dark autumn colored green sweater would go with black pants. Light colors are a bit too summer for me.

>>14941095

>>At least one pre-WWII ancestor (preferably paternal) who attended an Ivy (preferably Princeton or Harvard, Yale and the other
Nope. Dad's family was working class English people who got FUCKED by the Great Depression
>>You attended Exeter or a similar elite private boarding school, just like your father and grandfather did (and possibly even great grandfather(s))
I attended a HUGE public high school. 3000 students
>>You literally don't need college having gone to such an illustrious prep school, if you go to college it must be an Ivy or a Little Ivy, there are a handful of private schools that are acceptable as well)

It’s important to understand your own actual purposes and where you want to draw the line between
>using tip as a source for styling inspo
Vs
>becoming 100% tip meme
If you are someone who wants to create that boldness formality in casual context etc you would be retarded to not incorporate Black. Tip as a Core is an ideation and a rule set

I'd read somewhere that traditionally dress pants wear supposed fall right at the ankle so the fabric doesn't rest on the foot and fold over itself (or "break"). Your guys thoughts?

>>14941381
>charcoal is your best bet
It's really not though. With most extra dark shades of color, they run the risk of looking "not quite black", also think of a running cycle, from season to season, the more brighter colours are going to come out in the hot seasons with more sun etc.

>>14941193
Yeah I am tip inspired, more here for the tweed blazers, shirts, sweaters but not the full look. I would going out for the day, but going to a bar I don't want to wear brown moleskin pants and loafers.

>>14941381
Yeah I think a dark color looks good with dark greens, sure it's not full tip but it looks more modern.

Pic related is the kind of aesthetic that I go for.

>>14941402
>sure it's not full tip
TIP is an ideation. It's a format for dressing yourself. However, the format a result of lifestyle. Just like any other core. Punk for instance, was a lifestyle, the clothes follow the lifestyle. What lifestyle do you lead? Understand your life and then use TIP as a guide. This is a Fashion board, it's not an exclusionary private club. It's not inclusionary either though. It's about having good taste, and cultivating your own sense of what fine casual clothing is. Separate the Fashion from the lifestyle, and what do you have left: lifeless clothing.

So in a sense, anon who comes here looking to "thrift" their way into "looking TIP", is foolish. Because they are putting the idealised lifestyle before their own taste. Taste is something you earn over time, with an educated mind but having good taste naturally comes from being in the upper echelons of life, because good things are expensive.

>>14941416
BRO. I just want dark clothing to fit with a dark green blazer.

>>14941402
>T. 2009 slim prep
Hideous

>>14941418
Well with that attitude, you will never be TIP. You basically come off as Swine, and TIP is Pearls. BRO.

>>14941421
That's not even slim fit, it's just a fitted size. All my sports jackets are "classic fit" but the chest size of them is my exact chest size so they look like that pic.

>>14941422
Bro just calm your bones.

>>14941425
>That's not even slim fit, it's just a fitted

>>14941442
But that image is you, bro. If your jacket doesn't fit you well then you have an onions body. I have a 48 inch chest and near enough 17 inch arms alongside a 34 inch waist. A regular fit jacket fits me snug as it should be.

Hit the gym you dweeb.

That sojak poster has some issues

>>14941446
Ahhhh haha, this guy!
>he comes into a TIP thread

Ahhhh ahahahaha wew.

>>14941425
It’s definitely a slim fit. The guy is slim himself. The lapels are also slim and those sleeves...man I’ve heard of sleeves being too long, but damn. It’s like he stole his younger brothers jacket. Do us all a favor and do not post these terrible pictures as reference. You just got into /TIP/, yes?

>>14941449
The pure irony that slim fit was made for pencil arms people like yourself and that he thinks a guy with big arms that fills out a jacket must be wearing slim fit.

I bet you look like you're wearing your Dads jacket or brothers hand me down lol god damn. Post fit.

>>14941453
It looks regular, or maybe because my jackets fit me well it reminds me of that. Anyway, it was just an example of colors, not an endorsement of the jacket.

>You just got into /TIP/, yes

I'm from the English countryside and the roots of tip, the English countryside look and clothing is what I grew up with and worse on a daily basis while pheasant shooting etc.

I'm 35 years old now and work in the city within banking so I want a more modern look rather than the country look I wear in that setting.

Sport jackets should always be roomy.
>so I want a more modern look
Gotcha, but that doesn’t mean you should wear modern slim garbage. Stick with the classics

>>14941477
They should be roomy to accommodate layers underneath, once in layers they should not be baggy on you. By modern look I mean color scheme, I don't own any slit fit items at all.

>>14941454
>Fit/Cut/Contour of clothing
Is like a huge mile-high Wall of solid limestone. On one side of this Wall, you have
>SLIM Fit, Modern Fit, New Proportions Fit, Straight Fit, Athletic Fit, Relaxed Fit, Straight-Slim, Straight-Relaxed, Tapered-Slim etc
And all other manner of (non-Classic) cuts. Now, over on the other side of this Wall, you have
>Classic Fit
You, are on the wrong side of this wall anon. And you will never find the gate, the gate is small and narrow.

>>14941454
This. There is a lot of hate for Slim or Tappered fits, but when people post fits, those fits are actually common here. Where are the HUGE DRAPE guys?

>>14941480
>once in layers they should not be baggy on you.
That’s why I said roomy

>>14941482
Yeah apart from most jackets come in either slim fit or classic fit. A tweed sports jacket does not come in "Straight-Relaxed" fit. Do you have autism by any chance?

>You, are on the wrong side of this wall anon

I have pieces from the 80s and 90s. You know, before you were even a sperm in your daddies nut sack.

I am totally fine without my jackets looking like this...

In fact all the tip inspo pics posted here are from 70s catalogues or something, nobody ever posts their fit.

Like this guy has his well fitted:

>>14937187

While clearly this guys jacket is a little too large:

>>14937364

Mostly tip threads are little boys posting old photos who don't even own a tweed jacket.

>>14941488
>While clearly this guys jacket is a little too large
It’s just a classic fit and he’s stuffing his arms in his pockets. A lot of you seem to think a suit jacket should fit the same way as a sport jacket. Can’t fix stupid, I guess. >>14941490
Sleeves are too short, chest and waist a bit too wide. Wearing a tank underneath isn’t helping either lol. Cherrypicking. Obviously a skinny male won’t look good in normal clothing. I pity them.

>>14941500
>seem to think a suit jacket should fit the same way as a sport jacket
Vice versa

>>14941488
>Like this guy has his well fitted:
>>>14937187
you can't even fucking see it though, the perspective is too close you can't tell if it's a good fit. Yes, it has a decent contour around the back but it also might be way too long when you see the whole body from perspective.

>>14941488
>While clearly this guys jacket is a little too large:
>>>14937364
That doesn't look too large at all what the fuck are you smoking.

>>14941500
Not just that dude, even in this thread there is another Slim fitter >>14937366

And in previous threads there are many other pósters wearing Slim fit pants

Post a fit, you seem to know a lot about /tip/

>>14941533
The same jacket is in >>14938975.

>>14941462
You have two option, in my opinion. Go with the military-inspired savile row suits with strong, straight shoulders if you want something more domestic or straight to Naples with the slimmer, puckered and casual look. Personally I don’t like the other styles of English suit that I know of, and I think that the French and northern Italian styles will be too conservative for what you seek.
I will look for examples when I get home.

>>14941095
>Actually typing this out and posting it

Not all jackets in my wardrobe fit the same, I've got some looser ones and some slimmer ones.
