I asked this in the previous thread.
How acceptable are winchester/contrast collars in modern business environments? Were they ever stylish? Are they prep or do they fall more under the 80s wallstreet intern category? I feel like they elevate some suits but when worn without the jacket they're jarring.

We all love unlined OCBD collars here (surely). But im starting to wonder if that's the best choice for other materials/weaves. Because i recently bought a lightweight chambray and a poplin shirt, both with unlined collars. The poplin one even has the exact same collar construction as my usual OCBD's. But it lacks the roll they have, it quickly deforms and deflates. What i wonder is, do you perhaps actually want some fusing or lining in these lighter weight weaves to help keep its shape?

[Anonymous No.17720983]

I see some 3 button suits on ebay and at thrift stores. If I got one of these would I be able to have it pressed into a 2 button configuration and have it look okay or is that a dumb idea?

[Anonymous No.17721246]

Ugh, you know what's the worst? Being a skinny, so-called "ugly" guy who's into menswear with a taste that's just too darn extravagant for this cruel world. It's like a double whammy of unfairness that life decided to throw my way.

I mean, seriously, why couldn't I have been born with dashing good looks like those dudes who effortlessly charm everyone they meet? Instead, I'm stuck here with a face only a mother could love and a body that looks like it's about to be blown away by a gust of wind. Just great!

You'd think that fashion could be my saving grace, right? Nah. Even my extravagant taste seems to backfire on me. Sure, I can put together bold and daring outfits that no one else would dare to wear, but the sad truth is that they only accentuate my already unfortunate appearance. It's like the clothes themselves are mocking me!

I see those handsome guys strutting around in their stylish attire, oozing confidence, and I can't help but feel bitter. Why couldn't I have been blessed with that confidence, that charisma, that magnetic charm? Instead, I'm left with an overflowing wardrobe of "look at me" outfits that only serve to make people look away.

But you know what? I guess I'll keep playing the fashion game, even if it feels like I'm always dealt a losing hand. Maybe, just maybe, one day my extravagant taste will actually work in my favor, and people will recognize my unique sense of style for what it is – a brave and bold expression of myself in a world that seems to value nothing but perfect appearances.

So, here's to all the skinny, "ugly" guys out there with a passion for fashion – let's commiserate together and keep pushing forward, even if the mirror doesn't reflect what we wish we could be. Who knows, maybe someday we'll be the ones setting the trends and showing the world that true beauty lies not in conventional looks, but in the courage to embrace our own style, no matter what others may think. Or maybe I'm just delusional... sigh.

Absolutely. I made this mistake with my last shift from Luxire, the fabric was incredibly light and didn't have the strength to support the roll as much as I want.

Please don't listen to>>17720987, as usual there are retards in this thread that think their opinion is fact. I'd call them what they are but some people slap the report button when you call them retarded faggot niggers.

Pressing a 3 button suit down to 2 is literally how 3roll2 was created, and 3roll2 sport coats and suits are staple of trad/ivy style. The thing is this doesn't work for all fabrics in my experience. You need a decent weight wool, tweed, or corduroy. Lighter wools, cotton, linen, seersucker can come out a little wonky. Button stance is the other key factor, it works better if they're lower on the chest.


I'd say find the cheapest decent quality 3 button wool sport coat you can find and try it out. $20-40 at a thrift store, another $20-40 at your tailor depending on area,and you'll answer your own question.

[Anonymous No.17721513]

So the size of the collar roll on old Yarmouth OCBDs fluctuates based on the country it was made in. I'm buying a couple more to get precise measurements but if you go on eBay you can see there's some differences between Hong Kong, Singapore, Jamaica, China , etc. I wonder why that happened. You'd think a Yarmouth OCBD would be the same size no matter where it was made. Chest width differs too, not as dramatically.

Well, it's just Doug here. After a whole lot of rejection and disappointment, I've finally decided to throw in the towel on my extravagant and "ugly" clothing taste. Who was I kidding, trying to stand out with my bold fashion choices, thinking it could compensate for my less-than-ideal looks? It's laughable, really.

I'm giving up on expressing myself through unique pieces and quirky styles. From now on, it's all about blending into the background with hoodies and sweatpants like everyone else. Why bother standing out when all it does is draw more attention to my supposed ugliness?

Sure, I'll give this whole gaining muscle thing a shot. Maybe if I'm buff enough, people will overlook my appearance and see me as something other than an eyesore. But deep down, I know it won't change a thing.

Fashion used to be an outlet for me, a way to escape the reality of my looks and find a sense of worth. But all I've found is rejection, mockery, and judgment. Who cares about fashion anyway? It's not like it matters or makes any difference in the grand scheme of things.

So here I am, bitter and defeated, letting go of my dreams of expressing myself through clothing. What's the point of trying to be different when the world keeps reminding you that you don't belong? Maybe it's time to just blend in, fade away, and stop trying to prove myself to a world that couldn't care less.

I mean, let's be real, who even cares about my hair? It's not like a new haircut is going to miraculously fix everything that's wrong with me. But society loves to point out our flaws, so here I am, trying to salvage whatever dignity I have left.

The hairdresser probably thought they were doing me a favor by giving me a shorter cut. Little do they know that my hairline has betrayed me long ago, leaving me with this pathetic excuse of a hairstyle.

I can't even enjoy a simple haircut without feeling like a failure. It's just another reminder that I can't control the way I look or how people perceive me.
So, here's to my new haircut – a futile attempt at looking somewhat presentable in a world that loves to judge based on appearances. Who knows, maybe one day I'll learn to accept myself as I am, flaws and all.

Your “bold and daring outfits” are just garbage simply put. I look like Ashton Kutcher I have been told and I wouldn’t wear something like pic related in public and expect anything than complete ridicule. There are a million things you could do to make your frail and sickly frame look better and to hide your terrible straw hair and other unfortunate facial features but it also seems that you accentuate every single negative physical appearance you have with your fits.

You know that loud colors and “extravagant clothing” doesn’t actually equal good. There are bold outfits that one can wear to draw compliments and stand out but this isn’t it, chief. This is almost specifically designed to make you look like a stupid asshole.

I would give you actual advice on changing your hair or buying higher waisted pants with a bulky Aran sweater or a loose coat to hide your true frame or at least make it appear more masculine but it would just go in one ear and out the other and you would go straight to aliexpress to buy a twenty dollar polyester suit again.

Yes and no. I've got Yarmouths with collar points ranging from 2.5 to 3.25 inches based on what country they were made in. Chest side differs too, for my standard size ( 16-36) there's up to a six inch spread in chest width for the same model. I don't know how much of that is intentional,QC issues or changing in style over time. Makes buying them blind a pain in the ass.

polos only look good on fit people or in very stylized high-fashion type fits. if your arms and shoulders don’t fill out the polo, don’t wear it.

dark colour polos can look amazing with white chinos
and very fit people can pull off polos with the right pair of jeans - just usually loafers instead of sneakers

When I worked on Wall Street, I saw the older bankers wear them sometimes, but these collars and French cuffs just looked bad on younger bankers. The loudness of the 80s came and went. It’s not gentlemanly anymore. What’s gentlemanly now is sleek, neutral, slightly casual. When you wear a collar like that, you’re drawing attention to the fact that you’re dressed “up”. What you really want is to look dresses “down” i.e. plain shirt, no tie, no jacket, rolled sleeves. Zip-up and vest, if they weren’t a cliché at this point. Loud dress clothes just make you look childish now.

This is what I feared sadly. Still, if there's very little contrast (a very light blue shirt with a white collar), especially when it is a little bit more acceptable to dress "up", it might look decent. I recently purchased an 80s wall street style power suit by Boss. Double breasted, pinstripes, peak lapel, the works, including a winchester shirt in a very light blue, in proper lighting it looks white. If the look works I might consider wearing it again, without braces though. I guess I just love the look too much.

No such thing. You can have gigantic baggy chinos or skin tight chinos if you want. There's not rule that chinos have to fit you perfectly, they're basically military wear they're not supposed to be tailored. Wear whatever cut looks the best, feels the best and that you like the most.

To the anon in the last thread who was asking about tapering trousers, I got mine back from the tailor today. Can't post pics b/c I move tomorrow and all my shit is packed up, will do so later in the thread. Anyway, I asked her "for a bottom leg opening of 8 1/4" and to taper the trousers from the seat down." Haven't tried them on yet but they looked to have come out quite well. Really not much of an ask or a terribly difficult thing to do, if you're really autistic and have a hard time communicating with people, you can always just lay the pants out on their counter and draw a line with your finger while describing what you want. Best of luck.

I disagree about the tie. The pattern is lively and I didn't want a colorful contrast, especially since the weather outside was very grey and boring. I appreciate the feedback though.

Nice fit btw, very good for a warm sunny day. As for your question I'm not entirely sure what guidelines there are for tropical wool trousers. I usually go by gut instinct and tropical wool trousers feel very relaxed to me. I wouldn't wear it for anything too formal but it works extremely well for garden parties ect. I've only worn it on warm summer days, at cocktail parties and, well, in the tropics. Relaxed and sunny.

Black sweater, white, grey or blue OCBD, khakis, jeans, cords. Black belt, black shoes.

I don't know what it is, but something about the British and French when I visited, their clothes look so cheap.

For workwear, it looks like H&M/Zara cheap mall clothes, but worse than i've ever seen in the USA. Paper thin shirts, plastic looking shoes, pants that have a shine to them because of synthetic fabrics. I know it's not everyone, but I noticed it a lot. It really stands out when they work in the USA. Is there a reason? It wasn't like they weren't making good money working in the US.

For warm undertones try black sweater, cream shirt, dark grey or dark green trousers, black shoes (brown also works with green trousers)
For cold undertones try black sweater, white shirt, grey/light grey trousers, black shoes.

I know the vast majority of people here have never read Take Ivy, after all why should anyone take a minimal effort to educate themselves in an area of fashion when instead they can just spout bullshit opinions? Jeans have been a part of prep and ivy from the beginning and there's zero reason to avoid them. Orslow named one of their models "Ivy cut" for a reason, see pic related.
Jeans are fine as long as you don't tell yourself they are dressy. They are informal, don't wear them with a plain wool sport coat. Tweed, cord, linen, moleskin, etc are all fine. A sweater, jeans and loafers is also certainly fine. Just don't get weird predistressed skinny jeans and you'll be golden.

1: Was reading 20 posts up too much of an effort for you?
2: 40 is no where near mid, it's low.
3: Lands End are your best bet, with their perpetual sales/coupon codes you can get them for 40-50. That's genuinely the only thing remotely decent you'll get for that price.
4: Exception being if you thrift or use eBay. If you know your real size you can get Brooks Brothers, Lands End, LL Bean, Polo, J Crew etc for well under 40. If you see Bills Khakis or O'Conells for that price (it happens frequently) grab them too.

>Jeans are fine as long as you don't tell yourself they are dressy.
Agreed. Rules of thumb are not set in stone. Jeans can work but in the majority of cases it'll look mismatched with anything that isn't a simple tee or a leather jacket. It drags any look down to "informal". This can be a good thing if you want to look like a boomer that idolizes the fashion of washed up rockstars, a low level Scandinavian office worker or a late 1800's gold miner. The best I can come up with is an "informal professor" look, and honestly the jeans will still make you look like tool.

I get that you posted some 80's college pics and think they're effay. Good for you for idolizing the era of the Terminator and Miami Vice. What you fail to do is imagine those guys wearing anything else and ask yourself if it'd look better.

Jeans are informal. Sweats are informal. They're both something that go better with a tshirt than a shirt and tie. Stay away from jeans in general. You can make it work in some rare instances but they're generally mismatched and you'd probably look better wearing regular trousers anyways.

Time travel aside, I couldn't really care less. If you want to look like your "cool" uncle, that's fine. My point is you're dragging whatever clothes that elevate your style down to the level of a family BBQ.

Nobody is telling anyone not to enjoy things. Just trying to make the point that you can't keep the spirit of Ivy alive by clinging to the form it took in 1960. The fashion landscape and more importantly the rules of formality are radically different. Not only is denim here to stay, making it in line with the 'buy it for life'/timeless wardrobe philosophy of collegiate ivy style, but its incredibly versatile (provided you know how to read formality in tailoring), and it passes for business casual in most modern workplaces, effectively filling the same formality tier in 2023 that chinos did in 1960

Pay attention, there's a reason this shit works as a "uniform" and it's nearly universally flattering unless you massively fuck up the sizing, and I do mean massively.
1: Navy blazer. Works with nearly any other color so when you aren't wearing this fit you can still wear the blazer. Grey, brown, olive, pink, red, orange, it works
2: Same with khaki colored trousers except even more versatile. They can work with a black blazer (yes black hopsack blazers exist) and other shades of blue.
3: The collar is nearly universally flattering. You don't have to worry as much about ironing or wrinkles since it's buttoned down. If you have roughly a 3 inch collar point, you're fine. Plenty of room for the roll, which is more visually appealing and more comfortable. It also pulls attention away from your neck and face which is handy for some.
4: Trouser cut. Anything from slim to relaxed works here as long as it's in proportion to the rest of the fit. Higher rise is more flattering for most men, elongates the legs and brings the belt up closer to the top button. See pic, the closer the button is to the belt line the better the fit overall. Length is up to you. Highwater, no break, full break, there's a good argument for each based on tradition/precedent and they normally all look good.
5: Shoes. A good pair of brown loafers is very versatile for fits like this and more casual fits. If it's hot loafer, shirts and polo work great.
6: The shirt color itself gives you a lot of wiggle room. Light blue is classic, but you could throw white, pink, grey, red, light green, purple, yellow, peach, striped, windowpane in here and it would still look good.

Everything in this fit works together, looks good on nearly everyone, works with almost all other colors and style, and has survived relatively untouched since the end of WW2. It just works. If there was ever a TIP "basic bastard" wardrobe, the bulk of it would revolve around hammering home how versatile this is.
