I think these threads are dying because nobody posts fits. The odd one or two we do see are absolutely shocking.

Let's face it, menswear is expensive and getting good at it takes years. /fa/ is full of poor teenagers; we're probably not going to be able to make it happen.

He's a boomer. Set in his ways.

>>16009160
hes trying to as i understand it. that said, hes hardly far out of a reasonable weight, so it shouldnt be too hard for him to bring things back under control.

>>16009139
one of these two? its a cheap coat and i can feel it in the arm holes so i would rather not spend too much on it.

>>16009172
If it’s cheap and will take a beating, I’d pick the darker ones on the left

>>16009180
dont reckon they would overpower a coat like that?

how about compared to something like this? belts currently a grey metal but im gonna replace it with a brown leather buckle.

While we're on the topic of coat buttons, bought an old milsurp coat in this colour recently, but the buttons are too obnoxiously silver. What would go along with this?

>>16009257
Black, dark brown, a similar blue

>>16009235
that is a man

>>16009257
seconding dark brown. keep a similar tone to the coat if you want it to look nice.

I just picked up this jacket and I love the pattern, but am honestly struggling to pair it with anything other than denim and either simple button downs or plain T's. Can anyone offer some suggestions? I'd hate to let it collect dust just because I'm apparently uncreative.

I had this fit saved for a /tip/ thread so idk

>>16008280
Splendid

>>16008021

unsure if this jacket is too short, normally I'd go for something an inch or two longer but this was a clearance deal. Might be good for work and non-fancy occasions. sorry for slub pic.

Need an opinion on a briefcase/workbag

I want a nice leather briefcase for when we go back to the office and am debating on the style to go for.

I love the look of this Farragamo briefcase (pic related). It has that classic briefcase feel that gives off the "I'm going to work" vibe while looking very professional yet sleek.

However, I worry that it is so far in the direction of a "professional work bag" that it would look out of place if I slung it over my shoulder to go to a coffee shop or a friend's place.

Other options would be one of their other bags, or a prada briefcase. They have a more casual look about them yet they would not be out of place in any office setting.

>>16008021

>>16010831
Looking “out of place” has much to do with blending into situational contexts. The bag is fine for coffee shops and at friend gatherings, given they’re cool with what you do.

Yeah I actually got them an inch shorter than usual, L.L. Bean pants run really long. I was recommended them by this thread and besides the crazy length they are good pants.

>>16011215
>>16011233
The man titties are genetic plus being 19 related, gynocomastia. Had them since I was a very skinny ten year old nothing I can do about it. The belly in the photo is mostly due to a huge dinner and the fact that the pants I have on are too small. I lift weights regularly.

>>16009651
It is short, and the sleeve is too long. Add 1 inch on the jacket and remove 1 inch from the sleeve, that would look better

>>16009594
You pull it off but please get better shoes

What the heck kind of pants should I get? I have a few pairs of selvedge jeans (meh, I still like them despite the hate they get here), but what else should I wear?

>>16012158
Grey flannel trousers
Trousers with double pleats and turn-ups
Fishtail trousers

>>16012158
good denims alright but not the bread and butter of menswear. get some twill chinos for casual in a couple diff styles off ebay, along with some pleated wool pants in a casual colour. experiment first and spend dosh on fancy stuff later when you know what you want.

>>16012232
case in point, i spent £30 the other day on 5 things i wouldnt mind trying from decent enough brands, because ebay is full of people who just bulk buy charity shit and sell it for next to nothing regardless of actual quality, unless its got a big name on it like RL or superdry or some gay shit.

pic related is a pair of sam windsor cords for £5, theyll want a wash and an iron but it lets me see if i want this sort of colour in my wardrobe here. got those along with linen pants to try, a harrington for the bf, a pair of brown chinos for him, and a linen blue shirt. best bit is if theyre fucked or they dont match description you will probably get them for free. used is highly underrated desu.

Read a history book for once in your life.

Definitely avoid spread collars unless you will always wear them fully buttoned and with a tie.

>zooter dooter pee pee pooper

>>16012034
Higher end brands do. There is no way around it in the current market. You will pay $150-$300 for a nice pair of high rise trousers

>>16013214
how about club collars, and resort collars?

>>16013575
I don't think I've ever seen a club collar worn open or even without a tie so that should say something. Obviously resort collars are good to go for casual wear, perfect for that Riviera look.

Holy shit, I don't think I've ever seen so much cope in one post.

Lose weight, you fucking fatty.

if i have a split in the seam on the leg seam on the inside of my cuff, with a little progression to the outside, how am i best repairing it? do i need to stitch the inside seam from the top and work my way down with something like a ladder stitch, or am i best with some other method?

>>16009735
cuz your grandparents are based as fuck anon

>>16009735
some of us had people like you for parents

>>16015530
Ladder stitch sounds fine. You can also turn it inside out, press the seams flat and do a backstitch.

Anyone know a good English shoemaker other than John Lobb? I want something high quality, worn by royalty preferably, but not John Lobb because I don't like their new style. Preferred shoe style is black oxford brogue.

>>16015552
my only concern is it runs all the way up the outside a good CM or so, and i can see it coming loose above that. not sure how to do this best. ifi ladder stitch from the front it should be invisible but its corduroy and i dont like the idea of stitching it front side, but otherwise that means picking apart the hem stitching.

>>16015561

Are you the double breasted waistcoat man

Has anyone had experience tailoring SuitSupply jackets ? Is there enough fabric to widen it ? Mine looks like one the right.

>>16018161
Where would you wear that outfit?

For me, this looks acceptable if you'd go to a bar or something in a warm climate.

But then again, the colors and shoes do not say summer to me. More line autumn or spring.

And for autumn and spring, the amount of showing chest is off. Gives macho/douche show off vibes, not sprezz vibes.

Anywho, it's just my opinion. For this colder look, unless you're not going to a bar, I'd think about how you make the shirt look with those brown colors. Maybe consider buttoning up a bit.

>>16018453
Chest is hard to widen, imo. Can't tell you about suit supply, though

Has anyone else noticed how young people are buying really shitty looking suits? Thin lapels, thin ties, colours that are too bright, etc. It's so common that it seems to be the trend now, so it's becoming harder to find good suits and ties at affordable prices that look 'normal', such as the kind of suits politicians wear.

>>16018647
>Thin lapels, thin ties
No problem with that.
Politicians very often don't know how to dress, except very high rank ones who have teams of stylists who do it for them.

Menswear is wasted on moids.

>>16016823
Not my fault that I have a tiny waist

>>16018647

why the fck would you want something worn by royalty. are you mentally defcient?

>>16019969

saint crispin is romanian

and g&g make italian style shoes. i prefer them but if you want traditional english shoes stick with the old school ones

anyone got any good examples of linen pants done right in more of an anglo style? thrifted a pair but theyre so short in the leg not even pleating them can make them look not a meme. the only way they wouldnt look stupid is if i wore them without shoes on a beach.

I like the idea of a reconciliation between /tip/ and /sprezz/, but I think the general that accomplishes that needs a different name. Dressing up is good, but /menswear/ doesn’t really encompass the more casual sides of ivy and sprezz style. Where do I go if I want to post white sneakers, khakis, and a Aran sweater; or espadrilles, Gurkhas, and a linen shirt? Those fits don’t really fall under the /menswear/ category, though it would be nice to have a general that encompasses those styles

For anyone looking for legitimately high-rise casual pants, I highly recommend Bronson Repro. They have several models of khakis and Gurkhas that are actually high rise (I’m 6’0” and their 1942 model khakis sit right at my belly button) with a wide fit. They’re not tapered at all, but a tailor can taper them if that’s what you want. They’re like $80 but they’re 100% cotton and they go on sale every once in a while. I but all of my khakis from them.

If you can’t find Bronson Repros on sale but really want something high rise, you might be able to find some other WWII reproduction khakis on sale for a better price. A flood of military surplus khakis after WWII are what originally kicked off the trad/ivy/prep khaki pants trend, so those things are about as /tip/ as you can get.

>>16018885
I’m glad someone else noticed this. I’m sick of seeing politicians wearing medium blue suits and bright red ties. I’m glad that they’re branching out a little from the standard navy/charcoal suit, but I wish they’d be a little more creative.

>>16020637

That’s because your conception of “menswear” is too narrow in addition to placing too much weight on labels.

>>16020664
these look so pedestrian

>>16020682
I’m a /tipper/ too and in assure you I don’t place much weight on labels. Maybe my conception of /menswear/ is too narrow, but I think most people have the same conception. I think when most people think /menswear/, they think of suits and blazers. Whether right or wrong, that’s the perception, and that perception might discourage the sharing of casual fits

>>16020697
Guess we have to start posting casual fits :)

>>16020695
pants that sit at the belly button aren’t pedestrian. they’re very wide, which means they have plenty of room for a tailor to make them fit however you want. just a suggestion.

>>16020704
