eyyyyy /fa/

I'm 20 y/o and I want to get into avant-garde fashion in the future problem is, I don't know if I am too big for it? I am not fat but I am muscular.

My measurements are as follows.

Height 6'2
sleeve length 20 inches - 50cm
Shoulder to shoulder 20 inches - 50cm
chest 40 inches 100cm
waist 36 inches - 72cm

Also my feet are 12US 11UK - 30cm

What size would a blazer have to be to suit those measurements?

What designer makes clothes for tall guys?

I like Ann Demeulemeester a lot but I don't know if she makes clothes for really skinny people or big guys like me too.

Can /fa/ guide me?

Here's a pic of me doing gay shit lol.

So about those measurements?

[Anorak !!xPyeSRsxKUQ No.6452591]

You're fucked, you're going to constantly be getting everything at 60% to 80% off because XL / XXL never sells and you will probably run out of closet space quickly.

There's a big misconception that because designer models are skinny that means designer fashion is skinny which isn''t true at all.

Most designer clothes are bought by middled aged guys with solid careers and solid guts to match. Even stuff like Dior Homme went up to XXL. Infact when I was in Montreal a couple weeks ago at Michel Brisson the only Saint Laurent jeans they had left were 34 to 38 inches in the waist. You'll be fine, the only thing that might be off limits is Japanese brands that only sell in Japan, but if they've made decent enough inroads internationally then you should be able to find XL and up although you won't get the benefit of buying Japanese brands from Japan at a cheaper price.

Ah, just the guy I was looking for.

I recall you mentioning that this type of fashion is for dudes with solid careers before, in the mean time though I'm trying to get ready for when the time comes by learning as much as I can.

So is there a sweet spot when it comes to buying properly fitted shirts or blazers?

By that I mean if my shoulder length is 20inches does that mean I should be going for a jacket or shirt that is 21 or 22 inches long?? Whatabout for the sleeves and chest, etc?

I've been looking for a blazer since that last essential piece thread that was on here.

Part II

I got big feet, > 12US 11UK - 30cm

I think that's 45 or 46 in EU??

I can never find anything in my size though, I guess they dont make that many big shoes?

>I recall you mentioning that this type of fashion is for dudes with solid careers before

Anyone can wear it and it's certainly made in smaller sizes and for people with smaller pocket books but yeah I guess the point I'm trying to convey is that the guys who are holding up a lot of avant-garde designers bottom lines are buying stuff every season and wearing 48-52 or M-XL. If you watch web stores (or even visit physical stores) the smaller sizes tend to sell out quickly but that's because stores buy way less in those sizes rather than that they're the most popular. Just a misconception that is usually good to clear up.

>So is there a sweet spot when it comes to buying properly fitted shirts or blazers?

Honestly most people would probably disagree with me on this but I feel there's a lot of leeway with off the rack stuff especially because it will most likely never fit anyone perfectly in the first place anyway. I pretty regularly size up 1 or 2 and don't have a problem. If it's something more fitted like a dress shirt I'd find one that fits you really well and then take it off and measure it all over, then compare those measurements with the ones of shirts you find online. I've generally found this is the best way to go about things when you're shopping online.
It's really easy for you to fuck up measuring yourself or maybe you do it slightly differently than how they do it in another country or whatever. I don't even think I know my own body measurements but I know my pit to pit, waist laid flat, inseam, rise etc. measurements off of all my favourite fitting clothes and then I just compare those to the measurements of what's being sold online. It's much more difficult for people to fuck up when they're measuring clothing you can lay flat on a table vs a human body, both parties included.

As for the shoe question look around, I see 45's pretty regularly and like I said they almost always make it to the deep sales.

you are not big dude, not at all

i have the exact same chest and waist as you (assuming you measured it around the hips not the belly button), and my shoulders are 2 inches wider, i look like this

[Anonymous No.6452779]

>>6452728
Looks like according to my measurements I'm gonna be wearing 50 to 52.

Guess for future reference I'm gonna have to go get some shirts fitted to get it down.

As for the shoes I guess I will find some nice ones eventually if I wait around.

I've been curious, who are your favorite fashion designers? What do you usually wear?

I'm trying to expand my knowledge of designers, so far I've been learning about Ann D mainly.

Any designers in particular you think are essential?

Any good fashion-related literature as well? I learn a lot easier from books than the internet.

what the fuck, my chest is 40" also and i can easily fit into a medium (theyre just way too short on me)

ps an eu46 is a us12, not an eu45.

what size do you wear in terms of M L XL? Cause according to Anorak the sizes go 48 = M, 50 = L, 52 = XL.

I went on antonioli and it has the same sstuff on there.

[Anonymous No.6452820]

Looking into blazers right now too.

Pic related, helmut bornn. the fact that it has 2 interior pockets sold it for me, what does /fa/ think

[basedprophet !IFJ/2SLAGo No.6452854]

>>6452806
in regular length tees i have to wear a large or an extra large or my belly will stick out, but i have a disproportionately long torso, im 6'3 and have an inseam of like 32

anorak was right with the sizes but with your chest size you should be wearing medium, maybe large, depending on the brand. how much do you weigh?

[Anonymous No.6452901]

>>6452854
like 180lbs last time I weighed

[basedprophet !IFJ/2SLAGo No.6452923]

>>6452901
youre pretty much the same size as me then, a little heavier i guess

id look at the actual measurements of the blazer before looking at the size

[Anonymous No.6452970]

>>6452923
I am probably a couple pounds heavier now too..

Gonna need to find those measurements somewhere then.

I guess there's also some stuff I own from designers I wouldn't consider favourites and also lots of stuff I had in the past from designers I don't consider favourites. I'm someone that would rather have 1 piece from 10 different designers than 10 pieces from 1 designer, but obviously favouritism has sort of cropped up in my buying habits. Next purchase is probably more Visvim but I really do want to get around to having at least something from all the designers I listed who I don't have anything from and in most cases I already have a certain piece in mind.

>Any designers in particular you think are essential?

Nope, I really don't think anything is essential, I ended up with the wardrobe I have just from buying what I liked, I personally think it's really cohesive at this point but obviously someone on the internet can look at that list and find all sorts of inconsistencies when it comes to "brand synergy".

>Any good fashion-related literature as well? I learn a lot easier from books than the internet.

I think with fashion the internet is really the best place to go. It really sucks for anything pre-00's but that sort of stuff is not really relevant (although I do love learning about it). So no fashion is kind of bad for books (or I'm not looking hard enough).

Finally, good trips.
Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll read up and learn about those designers this week and then branch out even more eventually.

Wish I could ask you more but it's time for bed, see you.
