/fa/ - Fashion

I posted in the last thread but it was archived 2 hours laters, here some friendly bump.

French cote d'azur prep

laulhere cap
Jean paul Gauthier marinière from the 80s
Brooks chinos
Bexley boat shoes (they are really nice fitting)

Gentleman farmer prep

Barbour waxed jacket
LL bean norwegian sweater from the 80s given by my dad
Same brooks chino
LL bean boots 8 inches

Same but no barbour and you can see my swiss army watch, its cheap, its 24 yo and it works like day one. (or so my mother said)

>>17645464
Nice outfit pal. I like the hat, it gives you an undeniable rular vibe that just works with the rest of the outfit. One thing I would change is maybe the shirt, I would consider trying different (less) colours.

>>17645480
Shirt is a madra purple label, a gift from my girlfriend so i really really love it even if it does not fit that great with the vibe.

>>17645459
>>17645460
>>17645464
These bland ass fits aren’t worthy of a pic neither a thread. Jesus. I wouldn’t look twice at you. This is not elevated fashion that’s NPC core my man.

>>17645566
Post BMI, skintone and fits

>>17645566
Do you think rural fashion is wearing an ensemble wih golden watch everyday? Sure, there are some things to be improved, but overall this isn't bad.

>>17645459
>>17645460
>>17645464

These are all solid. The Barbour looks great, I'm envious. I may be looking in the wrong place but I've never found one with long enough sleeves. I understand the logistics of brands not offering tall sizes, it makes finding certain items or their equivalents challenging.
I will echo the comment about shirt, I'm sure it's a great shirt and you love it but it's working against you in the fit; it would look better being the focal point in a different combination.


>Today's fit

>>17645460
I really like the jacket. Makes me jealous because I spent $100 dollars for a used one and it was totally a rep, it turned me off to Barbour jackets. I just stumbled upon some money again and am looking for a real one, not sure where to look.
>>17645464
I like the sweater a lot and good job making duck boots go with something, good inspo for those are rare. I agree it would go a lot better with a blue OCBD but separately the shirt would be great as well.
>>17645789
Great as always, love the trousers. I was wondering, what's the order of formality, what goes first, a tie or a pocket square? Is a pocket square less formal than a tie? Now that I type that I realize it probably is.
Was surprised to see you on navyblazer the other day, is it true you're Jewish?

>>17645487
>Shirt is a madra purple label, a gift from my girlfriend
Last thread you said >Same fit with no barbour but you can see the magnificient madras ralph lauren from my dad, the quality of the shirt is simply the best ive seen !

>>17645624
>rural fashion
Kek, you faggot larper. Show me one "rural" wearing barbour in 2023. Fucking clown.

>>17645900
Please anon, we aren't savages. Cite your sources when you make claims like this.

Guarantee these aren't even his photos, he probably just took them from Reddit like most people in these threads.

On the other hand he claims to be French and they are fucking degenerates, so maybe dad is his girlfriend(male).

>>17645900
kek whatta fag
>>17645915
plz stay on reddit/tiktok

Anyone got any recommendations for high waisted denim? Drake’s is the obvious choice but I’ve read their denim quality went down the tubes after they moved production to Portugal and am not too keen to pay $450 for some shitty jeans. I’ve heard Orslow 105s are good but not sure if the rise is as high. Jacket is a 60% linen/40% wool hop sack from Sid Mashburn in a muted green color. Shoes are color 8 tassels from Alden which I wear almost every day now, they just go with everything.
>>17645789
Excellent, makes me want to buy a yellow shirt.

>>17645960
>Anyone got any recommendations for high waisted denim?
wondering this as well, Baldanon wears Paul Fredericks but they don't make them in my size, sadly.
Looks good, I personally wouldn't wear such slim pants but if that's what you're going for.

>>17645915
>he is French and they are fucking degenerates, so maybe dad is his girlfriend(male)
Many such cases!
Sad.

>>17645960
peppino peppino denim fits high on me, a lot of vintage denim fits high too, i have a pair of old RRL jeans with a 13" rise
good fit, pants too slim imo

>>17645965
> Looks good, I personally wouldn't wear such slim pants but if that's what you're going for.
>>17645977
> pants too slim imo
Yeah I agree. All my dress trousers are varying shades of grey and a little too close in texture to the jacket.

Nah i had the wrong madra in my mind when i typed the description and those are my fits. Cap + watch for proof

>>17645900
Like i said i had the wrong madra in mind.

Has anyone worn Paul Stuart polo shirts? RL is too common, or recommend some Japanese brands.

>>17646032
John Smedley is the GOAT. Mashburn and Todd Snyder are also great if you’re slim.

Any fit recommendations for coping with not being born WASP?

>>17646092
>not being a WASP
Good, Protestantism is a heresy. Not being born white, though, can't help you.

>>17646146
I'm white but lack actual cultural background to become /TIP/. People raised on this lifestyle do not need to consult online forums on how to dress.

>>17645880
Not him but i got a barbour on grailed for $160, nearly new condition
Seems like $160 is/was the minimum price for a used one thats in good condition

First of the month tomorrow, so I'm probably cleaning my loafers today.

Looking for a preppy, short red sweater. I'm using picrel as inspo. I found one just like it, but it's a v-neck. Would it look weird wearing an OCBD and v-neck without a tie? Should I keep looking for a crewneck?

>>17646404
Close up of the tie bar

>>17646404
>>17646407
drop the tie bar

>>17645880
>order of formality
From what I understood, pocket squares are less formal than ties because they used to be/may still be "handkerchiefs" so you're supposed to be able to use them like fancy Kleenex. Honestly though there are so many "rules" of formality that are no longer relevant that I wouldn't worry about it. "No brown in town" used to be a rule too.

>Jewish
Yes, ethnically. I won't go into it much since it's 4chan and I'm not suicidal.

>>17645960
For high waisted denim try this out, you can search by your desired rise

https://www.selfedge.com/index.php?route=product/jean_finder

I bought a pair of Sugarcane 1947s this way, perfect jeans.

The other easy option is custom made jeans, I've used Luxire to make a pair of raw selvedge ghurka trousers. You simply tell them the rise you want and they make it. I'll try to remember to wear my pair tomorrow. Paul Frederick makes a decent pair of high waisted pleated cuffed denim trousers but I much prefer the Luxire. The PF pair is way too thin and soft, they have the ubiquitous and evil stretch to them. Berle has a similar pair, I'll look into them next. If you want dirt cheap but still excellent, Wrangler Raw Cowboy Cut Straight and Slim straight are the best value out there. Around $30-40 on Amazon and beat the shit out of anything under $100 in fit and quality, but their color isn't as dark as I'd like.

>>17645960
>Anyone got any recommendations for high waisted denim?
Momotaro has a few high waisted pairs

Are there any rugby shirts that are made for slim people instead of... rugby players? Even the RL size S looks weird on me

>>17646657
SS + GOMAD for 1 year

>>17646673
I already work out, but I'll never be "wide" or well built, it's just not feasible on my frame. Also I'm too old for that and would just get fat. The size M Ralph Lauren sweaters fit me like a glove though, my problem is specifically with rugby shirts.

Will people notice im wearing Gucci loafers or can I get away with cheaper brands like Allen Edmonds

>>17645459
Pants don't fit, hat doesn't match the season. A plain baseball cap would look better
>>17645460
Same pants, looks better though, burn that flannel
>>17645464
Again burn the flannel, change the shoes, those shoes look good with chore jackets but when the jacket is missing it looks off

Overall I think it's a good attempt and definitely better than most people just jerking off to inspo. And please for the love of God, don't take advise from >>17645789 dude is a larper that can't even properly tie a tie

>>17646405
Depends on how prominent the V is. Some of them are modest, but some of them are designed to be worn with ties and may show too much shirt.
>>17646404
Word of advise, if your dress pants bunch at the shoes while standing, they are too long. It's fine if they graze the shoes, just not bunch

>>17646802
Horrible advise

>>17646802
>It's fine if they graze the shoes, just not bunch


Alex I'll talk "Dumb niggers than don't know what a break is for $1000" please.

>>17646802
>Word of advise

Listen Paco, I know it's tough as an ESL to larp as trad but the word you're looking for is "advice".

>>17646657
Just get it tailored.

Anyone had any experience with Mercer and Sons OCBDs? I'm based in Australia and thinking about making an order. Love the unlined collars.

Just torn the crotch of my trousers… Scavini you hack ! Those cost 270€ !

>>17646407
Tie bars look stupid and redundant when you're wearing a jacket

>>17645960
Here's today's fit, these are the Luxire denim trousers I had made. Rise came out to 13 inches, next pair I'm taking up to 13.5 or 14. I've got a very long torso so I need a higher rise. Basically any rise you want they'll make.

>>17647231
Close up of tie texture, it's an old tie made from Shetland wool.

>>17647197
I really like their collars too, I'm going to buy one of their shirts next week. When it comes in I'll take plenty of pics and compare the collar to other shirts I have like BB, LL Bean, Ralph Lauren, etc

If you're interested in having custom shirts made, both of these companies have very similar collar options:


https://propercloth.com/collar-styles

https://luxire.com/pages/our-collars

The Luxire collar is a direct copy of the Mercer collar, I have no idea how they get away with straight up calling it the Mercer collar.

>>17646415
>>17647227
I didn't realize how much /tip/ hated tie bars. I'm still going to wear it, but thanks for the advice.

>>17647244
Nice color on the tie but a more traditional shinier material would look way better. This looks like the blanket my dog sleeps on

>>17645459
this is great

>>17645960
really cool, would skip stripes

>>17645789
flashy, yet stylish

>>17646404
didn't know those ties could go well with this type of suit, nice

>>17646405
thinking on buying this red sweater, I think the problem of this color may be mixing with the blue. Maybe more dark? Also ties are great with sweaters.

>>17647231
nice boots

>>17647245
Slim tie '-'

Seeing tie bars here made me regret buying them.

From what I understand, tie bars aren't preppy, but that isn't to say they don't have a place in classic menswear.

People will notice Gucci loafers but won’t think less of you for wearing something more restrained.

Fellas, should I be folding or hanging polo shirts/rugby shirts?

Today's wrinkled ass fit is brought to you by the fucking linen I ironed this morning before I left for work. Everything was neatly pressed for about an hour then it wrinkled like my ball sac. At least it's comfortable.

Also for anyone that's interested in learning more about ties:

https://us.drakes.com/blogs/news/the-drakes-guide-to-ties

I'm trying to slim my tie collection down, it's hovering around 100 now. Want to replace the ones I don't wear with better quality/more interesting ties.

>>17645901
Most of the Hunters from my family's home village wear Barbour, or something pretty similar.

Reusing the pic I posted in the waywt thread:
The shirt is from Turnbull & Asser, one of their Band A popplins,
the blazer is from Kiton,
the trousers are from Anton Meyer
and the tie is from Fumagalli.

>>17649301
ah the 19 year old LARPer is back.
real shame how that kiton blazer looks
tie close up plz?

>>17649304
Give him a break, young adult is prep age.

>>17649304
Here's the tie

>>17649312
I can be a bit larpy to be honest.

>>17649304
Lmao I'm taking a wild guess that you grew up in an economic bracket where wearing this style was common and now you're ass blasted that the perceived air of exclusivity is slipping. Do you realize how LARPy almost all fashion is? This may blow your mind but the majority of people wearing chinos aren't officers in the military, people wearing jeans aren't miners, chambray shirts aren't just for prisoners, peacoats aren't just for the navy, etc. Pull your head out of your ass and take a minute to contemplate why someone else wearing clothes they like bothers you enough that you feel compelled to cry like a bitch about it.

>>17649304
How can you call someone a LARPer than ask to see details of his outfit so you can replicate it?

>>17649427
Here's the explanation of why:
>>17649404

Anon is an ass blasted faggot since someone else dares to dress the way he does. When people bitch about gatekeeping they mean assholes like this >>17649304 who offer nothing constructive.

He's also another of the people that constantly complains but doesn't post anything useful. I've given up on expecting the crybabies to post their own fits to show how it's done, but you'd think they'd post inspo/other people's fits to show the "correct" way of doing it.

>>17649427
Because a 19 year old who buys a kiton blazer off ebay and has worn it in all of his fit pics is the definition of LARP. check out his styleforum pfp
>>17649404
stupid
>>17649444
boohoo lurk moar old ass newfag
>>17649351
looks nice

>>17649304
Of he’s a LARPer then everyone in this thread is a LARPer.
>>17649499
There’s no minimum age requirement for wearing this shit, you could say the same about a 40 year old who dresses like this. Ivy and Prep are styles that were worn by YOUNG MEN in college and continue to be worn by that demographic, to say he can’t wear these clothes because it’s a “LARP” is absurd. Kill yourself.

>>17649499
Seethe more pissbaby. Feel free to contribute anything beyond your effeminate crying.

Also lol at the pure faggotry of stalking someone across multiple sites. Maybe devote some of that energy to contributing in some small manner?

>>17649499
Reminds me of that loser who'd always bring up his Kiton sweater that he bought off the 'bay

>>17645381
>wearing button-down collars with ties
shiggy

>>17649587
Yeah man, I hope no one wears ties with Oxfords. Who the does that?

Instead of captchas can we have an IQ test to weed out really retards.

>>17649609
ironic

>>17649610
I got so mad at his dumb comment my IQ went down.

I mean who the fuck comes in and says you can't wear ties with an OCBD? Doesn't explain, leaves. I'm bothered by this to a degree that's irrational.

Baldfag is embarrassing

>>17649301
Pro tip: classic ivy blazers have a plain front, no darts
>>17649587
Completely normal. I am guessing the idea you have is that tie is more formal than tieless, and button-down is less formal than non-button? They still dont clash at all and men have always paired them together.

>>17649622
He’s keeping this death throes thread alive.

>>17649622
"Baldfag could be here" he thought "I haven't rated any fits in this thread in a while. Baldfag could post anytime". The cool AC felt good against his oxford covered chest. "I HATE BALDFAG" he thought. How Soon is Now revebrated his Bluetooth speaker as he thumbed through his aged copy of Take Ivy, dispelling his (merited) fear of Baldfag posting another fit in his thread. "Loro Piana will make the normies think you're old money" he said to himself, out loud.

>>17649693
lmao

>>17649637
He annoys people

>>17649789
You annoy me, therefore you should leave. Flawless logic.

Relaxing weekend fit. Lee/Ralph Lauren/Ralph Lauren/Allen Edmonds.

>>17650275
The pants look like hand me downs from your dad's dad. Way too baggy on you and the color also sucks. The jacket has a similar problem with fit but at least it matches your shirt well.

>>17650519
atleast he stopped wearing a tie with the lee desu

>>17647244
that tie looks a bit loose, no?

>>17649609
>>17649636
>They still dont clash at all and men have always paired them together.
Button-down collars were developed specifically because men weren't wearing ties with them, such as when playing polo. That's why they exist, so you can leave the top button(s) unbuttoned without your spread collar splaying out everywhere. When you wear them with ties it falls somewhere between wearing both a belt and suspenders and wearing a polo shirt with gym shorts.

>>17650791
First of all the purpose of the buttons is to keep the collar from flapping around and second of all it wouldn’t matter whether or not you wear a tie if the collar isn’t buttoned down.

>>17650519
>way too baggy
No they’re not lol, are we looking at the same photo?

>>17651426
They look like fucking fishermen's trousers lmao, you must be retarded if you think it's a good look. It's the boomer equivalent of zoomies in nigger sweats

what do you think of the stuff I've bought recently?

>>17649693
Kek

>>17651434

>>17651434
What the fuck are you talking about? They’re just straight fit chinos, I’m sorry they’re not skin tight retard.

>noooo it can't look like shit because baldfag's wearing it, you can't just not like his fit!
It's not my fault his shit choice of pants makes him look like an 80 year old, stop sucking his cock and getting mad on his behalf lol

Let me a wild guess, its doug

>>17651609
always impressive how his taste has remained horrible for this long

>>17651609
>>17651656
dammit, I was hoping you would think it was nice this time.

well, off I go again.

>>17651609
>>17651656
do you at least have anything nice to say about the shirts and tommy hilfiger cardigan?
the tweety bird vest is also 100% cotton so its actually decent quality, even if you aren't a fan of the patches.

>>17649052
If I want to just buy one pair of loafers should I just get the Gucci loafers? or honestly carmina is fine? Are gucci loafers worth the brand recognition?

>>17652326
>the tweety bird vest is also 100% cotton so its actually decent quality, even if you aren't a fan of the patches.

Doug this is baldfag, I've tried to be supportive and encouraging but if you post a fucking Tweety bird patch vest here and act shocked people don't like it even though it's cotton(???) I don't know what to tell you. At some point I'm forced to conclude you have a shame kink.

Tweety bird. Fuck.

>>17652345
what? its got a cute 90s kitsch to it

>>17652412
actually no reading this back i realize "kitsch" isn't exactly what we go for here
I still kinda like it, but yeah I think I might unstitch the patches if I can

>>17651443
>tweety bird patch
>/tip/
What are you doing here?

>>17652412

You know better.

>>17652428
doug is the gift that keeps on giving

>>17651478
I would defend him no matter who he was because your critique is absurd, there is literally nothing wrong with his pants. Grow up.

Which is the better blazer?
https://jpressonline.com/collections/blazers/products/solid-navy-textured-blazer-classic-fit
https://jpressonline.com/products/navy-tropical-wool-blazer?variant=32327264829487

How comfy are waxed barbour jackets? From the pictures they look a bit stiff

>>17652534
Second. Tropical wool blazer is more versatile. But if you want something that will really excel in hot weather, the top one.

>>17652443
nice that someone makes a charitable assumption about doug for once

>>17652619
Just bought one, it's coming in the mail. I'll let you know.

>>17652534
both are fully fused, J Press isnt what it used to be

>>17652619
Theyre comfy enough. They move with you. The flannel lining isnt soft at all, but youre going to be wearing other layers underneath it so it doesnt matter much. The moleskin handwarmer pockets are really soft and insulating though, i love those.

>>17652643
Any recommendations for alternatives under $1000?

>>17652656
martin greenfield

>>17652643
How can you tell they're fused? Any opinions on this one?

>>17652712
Or O'Connells?

>>17652712
experience with the brand. even the presidential line is fused. the o Connell is your best bet

>>17650275
Ive seen some posters around fa suggest you try a different formula, but honestly the sportjackets look way better on your frame than any other jackets youve posted

>>17645464
>>17645460
>>17645459
You live in an apartment complex... I mean I do too but why dress Trad?

>>17652846
do you want trad style to literally die out or something? zoomies will never be able to afford a house so if that's where you want to gatekeep trad fashion then it's already dead

>>17651443
Ok now that I've processed the cartoon vest let's look at the rest of it:
1: Top left shirts. These look good, I think you'll be fine here as long as they're cotton and fit decently. Looks safe.
2: Solid blue shit top middle . Again, looks ok as long as it's cotton.
3: Shawl cardigan. I prefer darker, monochromatic cardigans but I don't see anything wrong with this. My concern with you is mashing it up with too many other colors.
4: Topman vest. That looks like polyester, is it? If so it's trash. If not, might be ok if you pair it with a solid color sport coat.
5: Gray striped shirt. Nice I have one in this exact shade and pattern from Brooks Brothers.
6: Cartoon vest. The problem is more than the patches, it's that we both know you're going to put that with a purple sport coat and everyone will scream at you
7: Striped polo. I really hate this and I can't even explain why. It's just sad?

All in all Doug that's not too bad. Worst case scenario you get a few versatile shirts out of the deal, I think you did ok here.

>>17652918
This is fucking awful. So many things going on here: Man purse. Prefaded/distressed jeans with western crease. Boots look cheap like Doc Martens. I honestly don't know what the fuck is happening at his jeans cuff, is that another pair of pants underneath coming out? Like silk pajamas? Sweater is gaudy and doesn't really match anything else. Shirt and tie are ok but would look better with other fits. Coat is ok. I like Dior but trad isn't their thing, never really was. If anyone wants to see more, this is from their Fall 22 show.

>Today's fit
Very comfortable in the warm weather.

>>17653117
>Worst case scenario you get a few versatile shirts out of the deal
yeah thanks.
>Topman vest. That looks like polyester, is it?
shamefully i must admit it is
do you think it still might be ok with my blue flannel suit?
>Cartoon vest. The problem is more than the patches, it's that we both know you're going to put that with a purple sport coat and everyone will scream at you
first of all its a suit jacket from a suit, second of all what do you think would go well with it? maybe just a charcoal suit?
>Striped polo. I really hate this and I can't even explain why. It's just sad?
interesting
maybe "sad" is exactly the kind of vibe im going for with it desu.
imagine it with some darkwash jeans, worn white sneakers, and just a t shirt underneath. no jacket.
the image that sort of fit, especially on someone like me creates in my head is something that teeters between grunge and and tech support guy, something awkward and super uncool, but also cozy and relatable. Like, idk, incelcore or 2000s emo or something. like you look at it and the mop of curly hair on top of it and you immediately get a vibe like "this guys probably a little autistic, but he means well i guess"
i wanna that to be the kind of aesthetic i fall back on when im not wearing suits.
alternatively, i could pair it up with that blue flannel pinstripe suit or lime tonic suit and create a pretty striking but minimalistic fit.

Are you wearing a black belt with brown loafers?

>>17653843
>Polyester ok with anything
No. Force yourself to understand polyester is bad, don't buy anything with polyester, even normies can tell polyester looks off. Occasionally there are very,very rare exceptions. I found a couple of American sport shirts from the 60s and 70s that were a blend, like 70-80% cotton and the rest poly. They look good, I don't know what magic was used but there's more cotton than poly in them. I know you want to have a wardrobe "now" but every dollar you spend to have mediocre shirt now will be a dollar you will regret not being able to spend on something better later.

>Tweetie vest
I'm going to assume you magically get rid of all traces of the patches. Then you have a solid color deep green vest. It could work ok with charcoal (maybe) but I think you'd be better off pairing it with an odd sport coat. Something like a tweed or houndstooth with orange tones, that vest, and khakis. Maybe navy sport coat.

>Lime tonic suit plus polo

Jesus Doug please tell me you didn't buy a lime colored suit oh god you did didn't you?

Pair that polo with baggy blue jeans, chunky white sneakers and a black leather jacket and you'll have that nerd vibe which is what you're looking for. I'm hesitant to say this because it's far from my style but I think that would work for you. It wouldn't be tip but I think it might work.

Don't worry too much, this time its actually a good quality, 100% wool vintage suit, probably from the 70s. its a tonic fabric thats green but shimmers blue.
the pants even have frogmouth pockets, how could i such a steal up?

>>17653948
*how could ipass such a steal up

>>17653948
Really looking forward to this outfit pic.

>>17653948
You know what? Fuck it, that actually looks like something I'd impulse buy. I hope it works well for you Doug, just understand the suit itself is eye catching. Don't overload loud colors and patterns on everything else, you don't need to be maximalist on every fit. Muted color shirts. Ivory, pale blue, maybe a pale red/orange. The shirts you just bought should work for this. Sensible pattern like small stripes, small glen plaid, etc. Fight the urge to slap purple anywhere near this suit. Brown shoes work, a blue suede like the pair in my pic today would work too.

I believe in you on this one Doug and I'm looking forward to it. I think you can actually make this work and it's "you" as well.

he's a retarded boomer, don't even attempt discussing fashion with him

ok its totally over.
who makes/w2c a collared shirt like pic related that isnt paper thin or any of these modern trim fit/slim fit etc etc whatever.

>>17654044
Drake's, Kamakura, Mercer, O'Connells. On a lower tier and hopefully vintage: Brooks Brothers, L.L. Bean, PRL. Lowest quality: J.Crew, Lands End, Banana Republic.

>>17654051
Don't forget custom. Proper Cloth, Luxire, Post Romantic, etc. For the price of an OTR shirt you can get something with a much better fit. I wouldn't start out with custom though, I'd buy a shirt from Mercers or Kamakura and figure out what you like/don't like/want to change and then take measurements for your custom shirt.

>>17654033
NTA but do you consider what the model is wearing trad?
I get it, a style has to evolve over time or it becomes antiquated and dies ( wing collars, long tails on jackets, etc). But at what point does something go from an evolution of a style to an entirely different style? It's good but I would have a hard time defending it as trad but to be honest I wouldn't know what else to call it. It's not streetwear, that's for sure.

If I take a step back there are are some good elements. I like the coat for instance. From your point of view, what makes this particular fit trad?

>>17654051

>>17654033
Man purses look bad in general, and so does this example.
Prefaded/distressed jeans are for posers and tryhards, and should be ridiculed as such.
I personally don't have any problems with the boots beyond not personally likely that hig a gloss.
>barely noticeable
Might be true if they weren't a bright color that stand out against the blue of the jeans and the brown of the boots. But they are.
Standing out by being gaudy is like ironic shitposting; it's still shitposting, and this is still gaudy.
>silhouette
Not that great desu. The jacket isn't great with already long sleeves made longer by the sweater, and the lack of any sort of graceful look near the waist, and the jeans are high enough up for the slack of the socks to fucking in the line going to the foot. To say nothing of the man purse.
>color
Nothing to see here, this is some basic bitch blue/brown with a splash of yellow thrown in. Anyone who's heard of complimentary colors knows this is nothing special. Even the shirt/tie combo is just a more muted version of that same color combo, with cool grey stripes vs a warm grey tie.
>>17654190
>But you are the asshole...

Is Spier & Mackay the best option for entry-level 3-roll-2 blazers?
I have this one in mind: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/botto-giuseppe---navy-flannel---full-canvas-3892-001c9-nesc-01f-fw21

>>17654441
wow I can't believe another 5'2" asian menswear fag is a fag. I'm shocked. Next you're gonna tell me Derek Guy is a fag --- no!!!!

>>17654635
I hate their cut. And I hate horn buttons on a blazer. Also why would you want your entry blazer to be flannel. Also the only size is 36R, are you 36R?

I feel like if you're gonna demand a 3/2 blazer you should just go the whole nine yards. Sack, brass buttons, welted edge, patch pockets, you go girl. J. Press, who knows where else these days.

>>17654704
Yeah I would end up swapping the buttons out, and would wait for a restock.
O'Connell's is the other option I've found, it just doesn't have the patch pockets I was looking for
https://oconnellsclothing.com/oconnells-classic-worsted-wool-blazer-navy-x25-333001-bhv.html

First one is fine though the hat sucks on all three. Get a better button up shirt for the second and third outfits, its hideous. Otherwise you're looking good.

>>17645789
Nice fit.

>>17646404
Honestly from the thumbnail I thought it looks like a bad fit but upon opening the picture fully I love this look. Maybe get the pants tailored so they fit your ankles without the cuff and have the jacket's shoulders taken out slightly. As another poster mentioned, match the belt with the shoes. So brown shoes = brown belt etc.

>>17647231
Pretty nice fit again though not sold on the striped shirt plus patterned jacket but its fine.

I'm looking to buy a simple medium-grey suit (non-modern cuts/details, ideally /tippy/ of course) with a chest size of about 34. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells them in my size. I would prefer double breasted but I know that's hard. Where to shop, Anons?

>>17660062
Spier & Mackay do suits as small as 34. They also have a Made to Order program, so that you can configure the style. Same with SuitSupply, who I think go down as low as a 32. Honestly, entry level MtM is the way to go if you're buying a decent suit, just on the basis that you don't need to spend money getting trousers hemmed, sleeves shortened/lengthened slightly at a later date, etc.

Shitty pic of my first suit from Solito. He's going to finish and ship it in the next few weeks. It's a fox brothers cotton.

I just wanted to say I fucking love my J Press "Trim Fit" shirt. Normal Brooks Brothers shirts are fucking huge on me whenever I try them. This thing is perfect everywhere. The collar is pure perfection too

>>17660953
If you're going for a traditional look just tuck and make you're peace with the billowing. I know we're conditioned to slim fit shirts but a slightly looser oxford is sort of like pleats on trousers. Looks like trash in pics, great in motion.

>Today's fit
4 in hand doesn't work for every tie and every collar and I'm tired of pretending it does. I fucked around with multiple knots that got devoured by this fucking spread collar, double Windsor looks much better. I'll try a half Windsor next time, if you have a spread collar experiment a little.

>>17661193

If you're going for a custom shirt you can dictate the measurements. Have them give you a couple extra inches in chest and waist, make sure they don't fuck up the shoulders though.

>>17662720
Close up of shirt pattern and tie.

Bought a shirt from CT. What's the deal with these loose threads? Should I cut them?

General review:
>plastic buttons
>nice brass collar stays
>heavier cotton than I am used to, feels quite stiff (good thing)
>fit is as expected
>extremely big wrists, I don't know how they came up with it (not possible to adjust either)

All in all, I don't regret the purchase, but I am not sure if I would do it again. Good value at €30, not worth it at €90.

>>17662775
You can always get the wrists tailored by a... tailor.
Obviously they should be made to fit in the first place based on the collar size though.

>>17662720
>If you're going for a traditional look just tuck and make you're peace with the billowing.
Agreed. Ive been working on developing an ivy wardrobe for about a year and have only recently started to understand the billow. I was conflating the muffin top and the billow. The deflated muffin top look is no good, what you want is a boxy shape extending fully from the waist to the chest. I think it looks good and it feels great compared to a slim or military tucked shirt, more breathable and easy to move around in.

Gotta question and I don’t know if this is the right thread, but what would be the best color suit to pair with my dress shoes? I’m thinking charcoal but I could be retarded.

>>17662969

When it comes to clothes, ask yourself would people at a prestigious university in 1985 put the item on. Faculty or students, either works. If no one would wear it, it doesnt belong in this thread. That gives you huge amounts of wiggle room, but certain things just don't work.

Hello. I will be moving to Germany soon so I will almost start my wardrobe from scratch, any advice on what clothes I should get first for an initial wardrobe? Also having in mind the way people dress in German speaking countries/Western Europe.

I am white by the way.

>>17662775
>Should I cut them
Absolutely. Cut on lighter colors, burn on dark colors.

>>17663181
The basics are pretty much the same as they are everywhere else, one or two decent suits, good quality shirts and some casual options, jeans, chinos, polos, etc. Depending on where you'll work, you might need some more suits, but even politicians are starting to move away from the traditional suit, so decide on that only once you've know what is expected of you at work.
Northern Germany is traditionally anglophile, while southern Germany has it's own identity, but a proper suit should fit in anywhere. Bernhard Roetzle has highlighted some very good stores and tailors on his blog, feineherr.de. Vienna is not far away from major south German cities, so a lot of people do their shopping their, the same was true with north Germany and London, but Brexit has made it less popular.
Where are you moving to? I might be able to suggest some stores to do your shopping at.

Ed Meier is very famous, they used to hold Royal Warrants with the bavarian Royal Family and they have been consistently named the best menswear retailer in all of Germany. I've also heard good things about J.G. Mayer, but have never been there myself.
>>17663823
Michael Possaner is a superb tailor, or so I've heard. Knize have stores in Paris and New York and were holders of Royal Warrants with the Hapsburgs and everything I've bought from them was amazing, I have heard some negative things about their MTM and Bespoke services however.
Jungmann & Neffe have amasing accesories and I have heard that they will also do bespoke commissionings, a great place to visit if you care a lot about fabrics. Frack & Co also has a store in Vienna, which is great if you need anything related to tailcoats on a budget, they also are the only store that sells opera cloacks OTR.

>>17663892
it looks pretty weird, just get trousers with no branding at all.

>Post inspo guys come on where's the fresh inspo look at this inspo oh wow an ad from 1986 oh god oh oh God I'm gonna poooooooooooosssssttttt

This thread is slowly strangling itself because anyone that tries to post fits gets mocked when they don't look exactly like the junior year of Wharton in 1987. The concept of growth or willingness to learn is meaningless here. Contrarian faggots riddle most threads but here it's the norm. Each iteration of the thread takes longer to fill up. And before you bitches start wailing that people don't need to post themselves to make a good thread: shut the fuck up you retarded weirdo. People post their boots in the boot thread, people post their jeans in the jeans thread, they post SEXcore fits in the sexcore thread, etc etc. Anyone expecting a thread about a fashion topic and not wanting people to post pics of themselves wearing that fashion is a lunatic who should probably also leave and just buy vintage LL Bean catalogs on eBay.

If you're really interested in learning anything and improving your style, go anywhere but here. I'm disgusted saying this but r/Navyblazer is comically better, their WAYWT threads shit on nearly every fit that gets posted here, downside is of course they're redditors.

posting inspo in a fashion general... its so fucking unbelievably over...

Why is grey flannel the most versatile bottom in tailoring but grey denim is less versatile than blue, especially when paired with sport coats?

You can find inspo pics anywhere. People come to /fa/ to see shit they can’t find on instagram or an LL Beam catalogue.

>Why is grey flannel the most versatile

plebswear

>90% merino, 10% cashmere

Thoughts on this?
I am looking for an open neck jumper that is not a ugly fucking zip

I have the opportunity to dress in a trad summer fit soon. I'm going to a wedding next month in Cape Cod.
Thinking blue blazer, light beige pants maybe pleated, and a brooks bros striped blue button up. No tie brown shoes.
Question being is pleated too much, is beige pants with blue blazer tacky and is it too casual for a wedding and I was going without tie how do we feel about that.

how new are you to this? 2> months?

Question being is pleated too much,
No.

is beige pants with blue blazer tacky
No

and is it too casual for a wedding
depends on the wedding, was a dresscode specified in the invitation?

and I was going without tie how do we feel about that.
wear one, you'll always be able to take it off if no one else is wearing a tie.
