Alternative suits

[Anonymous No.8359451]

Is there such a thing as alternative suits?

I got a wide selection of classic suits, ranging from simple Hugo Boss Red Label up to Dior Homme Hedi Slimane era suits, but I found myself wondering: Is there such a thing as "alternative suits", meaning something you could wear at an office or in a courtroom but still doesn't look like a "normal" suit?

I tried Sruli but didn't find anything suitable (except for some nice coats which would look great over a good suit, pic related) and then Yohji, but his suits just give off a hobo chic flair which would be unsuitable for a professional lawyer.

but Rick's blazers/suits aren't very avant-garde to be honest, pic related.

Julius goes more in the right direction (I'll post a picture in a sec), still it seems like no one is focusing on developing the classic suit further

it looks very classic from the front, but the back is interesting. Although I ought to buy the shirt, too, for full effect.

im 19 and i leech from my parents (in university, fuck getting a job its enough bullshit stress as it is) but i wouldnt even consider wearing these fancy dress outfits in public

I don't think the jacket is "retarded". Without the shirt most people probably wouldn't notice anything too extraordinaire about it.

[Anonymous No.8359598]

>>8359594
oh no, not retarded at all. the sleeves are not utterly stupid even in the slightest, no one would laugh at you and tug on them calling you a wizard!

you're student. no one expects you to wear a suit.
I don't know what you major in but in certain lines of work you are expected to wear "fancy dress outfits".

a normal suit is perfectly fine. these suits are objectively stupid.

Look into Devoa's suiting. Perhaps still too alternative though(?)
Ya boi Daisuke has done great wool coats too.

The best suggestion I can think of is probably Carol; plenty of stuff that isn't too wild but still interesting. There's a really 'dressy' air (for lack of a better word) to a lot of his body of work that would fit the bill I think.

>tfw can't buy that Broadleaf coat, short of commissioning Sruli himself
Got pic related coming in the post tho

[Anonymous No.8359631]

that's idiotic. if you were born 30 years earlier, you'd have mocked Hedi Slimane's iconic suits in a similar fashion
>lol look at that, that's utterly ridiculous, he looks like a god damn stick figure
now those suits are probably the epitome of what you would call a well-fitted suit.

pic related; a well-fitted suit 1939

its just the fitting that has changed since then. the suits youre posting look like some video game character trying way too hard to look badass. or just a flat out hipster, which everyone hates

>Got pic related coming in the post tho
what a great piece. I love Srulis work, although most of the time it's more something I'd put in a glass casing in the middle of my flat instead of actually wearing it.

pic related, this was more than 50% off like half a year ago and I almost bought it, then decided against it because at the same time there was an YSL sale at gilt.
still, i sometimes think about it.

thank you for your recommendations, I'll look right through them and keep posting here what I like.

Devoa.
While this isn't too avant-garde, It's something I might even be able to wear during my internship at my current (rather conservative) law firm. Lovely.
(I'd have to fasten the belt tho, obviously)

Valentino.
Very much what I have been looking for.

I do, too. Might have to reconsider my stance on Valentino, not been a big fan until now. You can find that Blazer on farfetch, in case you're interested.

This is Lanvin. I like it a lot, double breasted blazers have almost vanished from business culture, at least with those <50. This modern cut might work, though.

[Anonymous No.8359735]

Issey Miyake. Unfortunately this picture gives little credit; the back of the suit is light grey.

This is the last one, I have to go study so I can secure a position that allows me to (continue to) buy those pieces. Have a nice day, /fa/.

damn nice cop. I agree that ccp suiting gives off a really cool alien-like vibe

Looks good.
The significant advantage w/ Devoa is the anatomic tailoring, on just about the opposite end of the comfort spectrum to CCP.

Check out Inaisce; Jonah puts out a lapel-less blazer every season iirc
ma+ is interesting too, might be getting too casual tho, idk

[Anonymous No.8359761]

>>8359739
it really depends on your office. In my current law firm, I'd probably not dare to go in with a mandarin collared suit, but I love the idea of it. In some more forward-thinking offices, it might be a possibility.
I'm waiting until I'm self-employed, which might still take at least 2 years.

Go and have a lurk of SZ if you're still keen
This sort of thing is their specialty; a lot more professionals wearing artisanal stuff than here.

Be prepared for a highly moderated atmosphere populated by bitchy old men tho, it's very different to here

Thanks, I'll dig up my old SZ account and ask for some more inspiration there, although I'm quite satisfied with what I have found until now anyway. Especially farfetch has a lot of fantastic pieces.

The stock from that tumblr that wasn't sold is now in a Darklands backstock. Check out nagnagnagstore if you wanted to buy any of it, prices went up though.

[Anonymous No.8363407]

>>8362886
the prices are actually very good.
Could it be that he bought a load of Sruli stuff during the sale and is now giving them away for the prices of the sale?

[Anonymous No.8363468]

>>8363407
You misunderstood what I said.
The ra278 tumblr was run by a guy called Oskar from Sweden or s/t. He was selling the remainder of past stock left in Iceland, on behalf of Sruli.
This mustn't have worked out though; at the start of this year Sruli sold the rest of that stock to Darklands Berlin, where they have it for sale now as a backstock.

When he started out he took deposits before sending anything out. He also observes Sabbath so doesn't answer work emails over the weekend; so there's been a few times where people have worried that they'd been scammed.
Really the bulk of the negativity towards him is just misdirected negativity towards SZ. Faust systematically banning everyone who spoke ill of his work is representative of everything wrong with the SZ approach.

[Anonymous No.8363568]

>>8363562
Well, SZ is mostly badly dressed mid life crisis fags, so a dated approach to online stuff isn't surprising.

[Anonymous No.8363574]

>>8363468
So is there anywhere you know of that I can buy Sruli's broadleaf coat?

[Anonymous No.8363604]

>>8363574
Unfortunately not, I've been looking for a while too.
The studio is still doing commissions though I think; if you've got the money to spend more than what the original price was.

Alternatively you could pick up the Host coat in the same bone grey wool from nagnagnag if you're a size 3.

>>8363651
Apparently retail was 1560 Euro.
Probably would cost 2k to commission one, I've got no idea how it works though.

Seeing as he does patterning digitally I'd assume they still have the file around, but you might have to compromise on fabric if they take the commission on.

Send them an email and see what happens [e-mail]
