“We never take anything downmarket,” he said. “That’s not what we do. But there will be a lot more leisurewear and activewear. We won’t forget the tailored piece but there won’t be a huge emphasis in that area.”

Despite its reputation as a purveyor of mainly suits and sport coats, sportswear actually accounts for more than half of Brooks Brothers’ sales. “That’s true, but it needs to be 80 percent,” he said. “And although they sell a lot of sportswear, they never put emphasis on it.”

What meds? This guy is stupid and obnoxious as fuck and he dresses like shit. You should take meds nigga, this is just embarassing.

>>15485969
The cheap shirt is what kills it.

-The pants aren't bad at all, but if you can, try to find ones with a bigger waist, but less room in the hips/seat. This can probably be done by moving to a "slim" or "tailored" fit, but going one size up. Your current ones pinch too much at the waist, which makes you look like you have larger hips than you do.
-The shirt looks like some cheap polyester shit from Target, and that collar is horrible. Button that last button on the chest. Find an actual oxford cloth with a button down collar. It will cost you $85-$150, but you'll thank me. Never cheap out on the shirt.
-Shoes and belt are fine. Black or that really dark brown isn't my taste, and the shoes look like they have rubber soles, but its whatevs. Fix the shirt and you'll look 500% better and can worry about the other stuff another time

To be honest. That's probs the right way to go. It's not easy to get out of the hundreds of rental contracts so going cheap sportswear seems wise. It's not like I ever bought anything from brooks when it was a walking corpse.

You're a cuck and your fit is pretty bad honestly I think your wife will go see her bull tonight.

>>15486322
Okay, let's get this out of the way real quick, your funny little joke makes you look seem like an absolute pathetic person, I mean, why would you even joke about that? This isn't plebbit where self deprecating jokes such as these are funny, grow up a bit, "man".
Anyway, I will quickly list off everything wrong with your fit, in a somewhat lazy manner:
•shoulders are too big
•notches are slightly too high although this is a minor issue in your case
•Jackets sleeves are a bit too long, covering your shirt cuffs, creating ugly crinkles, and covering your watch all at the same time.
• the buttoning point seems to be off centre, meaning that one of your shoulders may be wider than the other but it could also be that you put it on lazily or something else but you should definitely keep this in mind.
• low waisted trousers; they show off your belt to everyone which isn't a good look, especially considering that your quarters are pretty closed. Another point on the trousers and quarters is that from what I see is that they make your legs look quite short compared to your torso, this is something that I struggle with as well but in your case it's clearly because your jacket is either too long or too closed and that you are wearing low rise trousers.
• the crinkles at the bottom don't look good at all, your trousers are too long
• your shirt is too tight because of what's going on with you placket.
• the shoes are actually terrible, something that you would get for less than €70
I think your wife is going to be less satisfied after seeing you wearing this, you cuck, sort yourself out or go back.

I mean, the fit is not good at all but will work for the occasion, but this post is pure autism. Your proportion bullshit makes absolutely no sense and some of the details you say are just for the sake of criticizing someone. Post fit

>>15487590
>Your proportion bullshit makes absolutely no sense
Looking back at it, it's not as bad as I made it out to be but it's still a problem, of course, you can't get every single detail right but you should most certainly strive for perfection.
The way the jacket is cut (either the length of it or the quarters) make his legs look a bit shorter than they might actually be so I'm really not sure how it's bullshit.
>some of the details you say are just for the sake of criticizing someone.
Such as? I just pointed out most of the things which I didn't lik in the fit and they were all pretty big issues.
Not sure how this makes me autistic hahaha I was having a bath trying to pass some time so it's quite silly of you to simply assume that I have autism just because it's a somewhat long post.

>>15487650
The 4chan critique of "you put effort into your post therefore you are autistic" is just anti-intellectual bullocks. Saying that, the op definitely needs to move away from the mirror. Mirror selfies taken on a phone with a 18mm equiv lens is the enemy of all fits and makes it impossible to give good criticism. I'm pretty sure his torso isn't that long and his photo is completely fucking it up for him.

I posted fits but covid hit so I rarely wore anything other than an ocbd with trousers in the past few months. The quality of threads has gone downhill since 2017-2018 because everytime you check the catalog there's at least one /tip/ thread so of course they are gonna get saturated.

I am a pretty small size but there is still plenty of things on eBay, just be patient. I found a very nice Harris tweed coat for £15, it's in a decent style with very good construction (hand stitching, half canvas etc).

>>15489015
got any tips on spotting the good harris tweed stuff, besides really fucking obvious shit like fake cuff buttons and weird button placements?

>>15489015
Problem is for me that all the Harris Tweed stuff has huge padded shoulders. Not /tip/

>>15489023
It's pretty easy to, most of the vintage Harris tweed is usually of decent quality. If you want to see the construction of it then just contact the seller for some pictures of the smaller details (under the collar, canvas etc.)
>>15489042
Not in my experience, plus, you can actually take out the padding, just get the shoulder width correct.

>>15489042
>take out shoulder padding

Great success?

>>15488609
I would never those trousers, but you make it work well.

>>15488712
Do you understand how few people notice tiny details like we nitpick on in real life?

Does "no white after labor day" apply to OCBDs?

>>15490835
I personally break this rule with OCBDs constantly, but I think it applies to all casual shirts.

>>15490835
Why would you follow this rule anyway?

>>15490920
Nothing matters more than following rules to the letter

>>15490835
Why would you want to follow that rule? Are you larping? Fuck stupid rules that only Stephen Schneider cares about.

There's been some discussion about rules and I agree with the train of thought that declares then bunk. This is a fashion board after all. I propose that being tippy depends on whether you ascribe to an ethos, lifestyle and an aesthetic that I'd consider tippy. At least in the American sense. I know European variants night be different. Here's what it means.
>Natural fabrics (,wool, cotton, linen etc)
>Unstructured, relaxed approach to clothing that extends to formal wear (white/black tie excepting).
>Sporty, athletic elements mixed in
>Academic
>Clean cut and understated personal grooming
>Focus on durable, long lasting clothing of good quality

It's so much better to focus on themes. You don't have to wear button downs although they fit perfectly well within the idea of a relaxed sporty approach to formal clothing. On the other side of the coin, this doesn't stop you wearing double vented jackets (which do look much better on big bummed individuals) however the fussy, fitted nature of going full euro-core would conflict with the relaxed, rumpled aspect of tippy clothing.

Anyway this just my thoughts. Tell me what you think.

>>15490961
>Clean cut
Beards can be /tip/

>>15490961
>Unstructured
But that's exactly what kicked off this "rules" discussion. Harris tweed coats tend have excessive shoulder padding.

>>15491022
>>15491022
>I know European variants night be different

American trad sport coats tend to be less padded and less structured. I have a 60s and a 70s brooks jacket and both have very minimal shoulder padding. Anyway it's not a deal breaker however if the rest of the outfit ends up being too 'fitted' then you'd be straying away from the trad aesthetic

>>15491012
Clean-cut doesn't mean clean shaven. It means being neat.

Both jackets are Tweed btw.

>>15486795
I think whites should have their autonomy stripped for their own protection.

If neither are terrible, should fit or material quality take precedence? In most period photos it seems like the latter.

>>15488614
I'm always fucking enamoured by your tweeds man, fantastic stuff! Do you post fits?

>>15486822
Thrift the blazer/sports coats. For chinos, buy Docker's. For shoes, Weejun's. I'm not sure who has the best cheap OCBDs, since I usually spend quite a bit on my shirts because imo they are the most important to ensure is comfortable.

>>15491143
In most period photos, its because people didn't have access to the range of sizes or options we have now. Fit should always take precedence.

>>15488614
Where do you source your tweeds eBay?

>>15491172
They could but many didn't care as much as they did in Europe.

>>15491201

>>15491172
They could obviously, and many did and ended up with great fits. But a lot of the stuff you are seeing in Take Ivy for example is college kids who bought a blazer at the University shop with $20 their parents sent them because of the school dress code. They didn't care about it any more than a McDonald's worker cares about their work uniform.


>>15491184
What kino?

>>15491236
This.

>>15491199
What is the correct way? Looks normal to me. Why is the belt worn in the opposite direction, though?

>>15491162
Everything in that pic is from a thrift store and cost $10 or less. I have some small mountain communities nearby that I visit.

>>15491145
I wear all my tweed in the appropriate season and get compliments, but I don't think I have any good pics. Not narcissistic enough, but I can rustle something up in a couple months.

Uh oh, the rulefag is back.

>>15491361
Black trousers are the opposite of what prep is. Yes, you can wear them but don't say that you're wearing a preppy outfit, it's that simple really.

>>15491482
This. Gray flannel or khaki universally looks better for casual wear anyway.

>>15491361
nah, you're just stupid

>>15491361
>Are rules important?
Yes
>Can rules be tastefully broken?
Yes
Both are true at the same time.

Not sure how I feel about the red pants, don't usually go this bright.

>>15492405
Could look better with a khaki or beige jacket, but this is bait anyway

>>15492412
How? This is how old preppy men dress

>>15492412
Thanks, I thought it was a bit adventurous.

>>15492414
Yes haha. I think I am the only 70 year old here.

Trad is a lifestyle

You cannot dress trad if you drive Uber

Feels bad man ;_;

>>15492502
Like the jacket but the tie is a bit too busy for me

>>15491343
If you don't know how to wear black casually you simply are not gonna make it.

what did he mean by this

>>15493040
A 70 year old wouldn't be typing out mannerisms, but in the off chance that is you you look alright. Go for a simpler striped tie, look up colour combinations. Signet ring is neat.

Put the faggotry associated with it aside, dark academia pics are essentially just TIP in fall colours aren’t they? Where can I pick up items like this (UK) if I’d like to try it without buying too high end and I have no autumn/winter wardrobe at all right now? I really like the look and idea of wearing longer wool/tweed coats or blazers which are on the looser side of fit but I don’t know the specifics or names of coats like this. Same with I’m not really sure how to go about footwear and I don’t want to wear docs or some cringe black derbies.

The thrift shops near me are shit and I’m early 20s.

>Cotton Duck (from Dutch doek,"linen canvas"), also simply duck, sometimes duck cloth or duck canvas — commonly called "canvas" outside the textile industry — is a heavy, plain-woven cotton fabric.

black/burgundy/brown penny loafers or brown brogue boots

>>15493193
thrift harder bro

>>15493226
Thanks, are loafers something that’s mild rain appropriate or not really?
Also about boots, definitely nothing black or chelsea?
I always find brown boots to be too light in colour but maybe I’m looking at the wrong shades of brown, could something towards oxblood be fine?
I’m not trying to be too TIP accurate since it’s not my whole wardrobe so maybe I could consider a thicker soles or footwear with slight alternatives unless they look like total shit. Sorry again I just don’t usually wear much colour and I’m used to wearing dark footwear almost always but I’ll give them a try if I can find the bare minimum for decent footwear because I don’t want to sink a lot into it yet.

>>15493230
Worth considering online stores? My city is shit and I don’t really know what I’m looking for just yet, don’t want to come off as some awkward autistic larper.

>>15493193
Idk what to say other than ebay. My wardrobe is already in a lot of earth/neutral tones but if you don't have that solid base it will take time to accumulate

I also don't think dark academia is "just TIP in fall colors." Black is definitely outside ivy/prep's usual comfort zone and yet the style is too sleek to be trad. Obviously wear what you like, I wear plenty of black casually with tip, but I don't think they're exactly the same

>>15493241
Dark Brown goes with practically everything
Good quality loafers will be fine in the rain

>>15493243
eBay, that's where you find some really good garnments but be warned as many are better off on a bonfire than on you.

>>15493241
>mild rain appropriate
Use anti-rain spray on whatever shoe you wear for rainy days, works like a charm.

>brown boots to be too light in colour
Go for darker shades of brown, will work great. I am sure ones with some brogueing will work great on dark academia style

>>15490448
Bought a harris tweed jacket. Can't wait for fall.

>>15493248
Thanks for advice, yeah I have to build it up so I’m just going to find what I need first then look at stores which aren’t the bottom end but somewhere middle or just below and that’s the problem since I don’t know where to look for some coats/jackets and pants. I plan to wear black still, I didn’t mean DA was just exactly TIP but for lack of better words, has some influence but I’d like something inbetween. So yes black footwear and maybe a coat but also I’m not sure what else is used that’s “sleek” other than the cuts.

>>15493256
Thanks I’ll check but I can still buy some new items if I can actually find stores for it. It’s an issue of finding non high end to me.

>>15493250
It does I just need to stop having a weird aversion to it. Brown boots has always been very worker or country feeling to me.

>>15493243
>>15493248
>>15493250
Ebay is the move. My advice is that generally when you are buying clothes on there (or etsy or any other online store), you always have to compromise on either getting things cheap, fast, or quality.

That is, if you want quality garments fast they will be expensive. If you want cheap garments fast they will be shit quality/not fit you. The best way to play the ebay game is to check back repeatedly, because the only way to get quality things cheap is to scope out the best deals over time

>>15493243
You should spend more time in physical stores to get a better sense of what separates a quality garment from shitty one.

Can a vintage 100% wool jacket/sports coat be washed in the washing machine on gentle wool cycle with cold water or 30 degrees Celsius?
I live in p00re part of Europe so those fancy delicates washing bags are not available and neither is there any dry cleaning service in my vicinity.
P.S. I tried wool washing cycle on something else but for some reason it does not drain all the water at the end, does anyone know why's that

>>15493271
No. Never wash wool in the washing machine. If you can't dry clean it, then handwash in your bathtub with detergent designed for wool, and dry it flat.

I feel like the your regular menswear enthusiast who just wants to wear adult clothes, the /sprezz/ threads have made these ones completely redundant.

>>15493682
>Viyella
Hasn't been quality for like 20 years. It's shitty Bangladesh crud now. Not sure why people keep recommending this brand.

>>15493193
If you're in the UK, ebay has plenty of wool/tweed sport coats. You'll find plenty from the 90s that are 100% wool and with a 100% viscose lining. No blends or polyester to be seen, often manufactured in the UK too. There will also be many in greys/browns to good with black and for Autumn/Winter. We are talking in most cases, less than £10.

>>15493241
I'd avoid loafers, outside of TIP circles they are a rarity, especially in the UK and when in Autumn/Winter you want boots.

>>15493248
>Black is definitely outside ivy/prep

Black and dark colors are common in inspo movies such as Dead Poets Society and The Emperors Club.

>>15493271
Put your jacket in the bath or something similar with a little washing detergent, do not use warm water, it will stretch the wool fibers, use cool water. Gently hand wash it. Then lay it flat on something such as a towel for a day or too, hanging it up again will stretch the jacket. Make sure the collar is right when you lay it flat to dry or that too will get out of shape.

After it is dry, hang it outside in the wind for a day and it should be fine after that.

>>15493344
I just ignore rigid rule makers. I think black pants/grey tweed jacket looks great, I think white pants and a salmon pink shirt only looks good in certain areas that are warm, you'll look like a fool in some cold European City in Winter.

>>15493682
Needed cheaper.
>>15493667
I’m worried about any extra import fees and returns.

>>15493721
I think a case can be made that both Dead Poets Society and Emperors Club (both films I love) belong to a subgenre of tip, but I just don't think black is generally understood as an ivy or prep color. Not even trying to be a prick about 'rules,' I wear black plenty, just saying that it's not within what we would consider the orthodox palette. I wear black plenty.

Here's Ivy Style, in praise, calling it "The Forbidden Color":

>>15493721
Black is a very formal color. It's use in the context of the casual/sporty look of ivy/prep should be sparing.

>>15493778
Academia TIP, I guess. It's just my preferred look and I don't think there is anything wrong with people wanting that look in these threads. It's a "tamer" easy entry into a TIP-like look that can fit in most places versus full 100% according to rules TIP.

>>15493779
Black becomes formal when paired with other black/formal items. I think you'll make less mistakes with your fir for new people, wearing brown pants and loafers is going to come across bad unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Most people here are TIP alone, Not in a community, not at a college, just random people dotted across the world. You're unlikely to even come across someone who emphasizes a rigid set of rules irl and only on here/online.

Each to their own though.

>>15492842
Yeah it's well made, and made in the USA to boot

>>15493723
No import fees for Europe from Canada

>I'd avoid loafers, outside of TIP circles they are a rarity,
Maybe in Seattle. We don't all live in the same place.

>>15493799
Black JM Weston 180 loafers are an absolute CLASSIC in France.

>>15493822
>Maybe in Seattle. We don't all live in the same place.

That's what I said? I doubt anyone here lives in a community with TIP people to be seen following every rule.

Some kid in Berlin does not. I mean most on the "inspo" here is 50 years old pictures.

Not a cynic, just a realist :o)

>>15493827
The point is, if some 18 year old wears them with an overall bad fit, her is going to look bad. One singular item is never going to make your fit.

Look at the stupid sneaker shit on this board, that's what teens are wearing. You better look good if you are going to wear loafers at that age. But dark boots/black pants and a grey blazer is an easy step that will look generally OK to most people in this direction.

Unless people post a picture with their message it means little anyway. Some people are just hardcore being autistic here and larping. All it does is scare away those with an interest.

>>15493834
"teens"
is that like
"youth"
?

>>15493869
Yes. Teens. Teenagers. Youth.

How do you find sweaters that fit? I find most are too big or too tight in specific areas.

>>15493875
Check all the measurements? It's not that hard to find something that fits well enough unless you have some weird body/proportions. You can also get jumpers custom made.

Bumping for a new thread :DDD

Are denim shirts /tip/?

Any music reqs aside from Vampire Weekend?

>>15494087
Anything Jazz

>>15494082
No but you could still wear them while still looking pretty decent but they're definitely not as good nor versatile as ocbds.

>>15494091
Now that madras/linen season is dead, what are some other fabrics for fall and winter besides oxford and flannel?

>>15493250
>>15493250
Wrong. Black goes with everything. Black is the most versatile, it’s like the outline of a comic drawing . Brown does not go with everything

>>15494101
Anything made of wool and some cotton garments with a tight weave such as corduroy or a twill.

Other than the glasses and mustache (it doesn't suit his face), based.

Name for this pattern? Can’t find any other tweed jackets like it in the same colour.

Black is the color of Authority, Power, Judgement. Judges wear black, Agents in the Matrix wear black suits. Black is the boldest most serious color in clothing. In so many ways it is the antithesis of TIP—- and yet that why it can be so useful to incorporate it into TIP styles. Classical 80s Power suits are black or charcoal and worn with black shoes. https://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-power-suit.htm
Black is anti tip but part of tip is breaking rules it’s a paradox

So Matrix was a trannie metaphor after all.
Ghost in the Shell?

Im ean when you get stoned it gets obvious they were all fags in the Matrix. Do it, get high and watch Teh Matrix

>>15494313

Will I look like a try hard or a Redditor if I’m 23 wearing a white button down daily even if I do nothing the whole day and live in a shithole?

>>15494357
stupid question, answer is probably yes to both

>>15494334
So it parodoxically implies you are in a position of importance or decision making prowess (technically a convergent attribute of someone who is TIP).
