Barbours are too expensive

>>14113251
Actually they're really good value for the quality they offer. Especially the made in England ones like the bedale.

as a prep, i find one of the hardest things to find are a good quality pair of jeans. i feel like preps cant really wear raw selvedge jeans, or any kind of crazy washes or stuff with holes. a prep should wear a basic, conservaitve pair of plain, high quality blue jeans. but such a thing is hard to find now days. can anyone relate?

>>14115181

I get mine from Pedro del Hierro, the result is far better than Levi's and are cheaper. Wrangler might be another conservative and good option

>>14115181
I wear jeans (excluding my work jeans for doing occasional physical labor) maybe once a month. I don't think they're worth spending a lot of money on, so I got a pair from Banana Republic that fits me.

>>14115181
What's wrong with raw selvedge denim? Just wash it and treat it like regular pants instead of trying to get epic sick fades.

anyone else addicted to buying this shit?
i now have the prep basics and can create outfits but i just want more and more, different colours, niche shit

Have you tried just not being poor?

We can tell who the proletarian larpers are even if you try and dress like you aren't

>>14115788
you are the LARPer because people in prep schools and Ivy league colleges no longer dress like this anyway

wdym? :)

>>14115763
oh wow i love this.

>>14115794
I went to 12 years of private elementary and college prep private high school. We had a uniform including ties K-8 so we couldn't even dress this style until high school. By that time anything other than a uniform seemed casual. Then we wore a dress code in HS that this thread's style reflects which came naturally to us after wearing uniforms... the dress codes have not changed and it is still the standard, which is why its often easy to tell the poors who try and larp it.
Our "dressing down" would be more like OP's pic... I wore similar after high school when I was at Brown 14 to 10 years ago for my first degree because almost my whole wardrobe developed into it by necessity. Now I work at a firm where its still common on business casual days when we dress down, and most of us have a similar background and still wear the style. Wearing full suit with a tie bar HHM style today though. Nice try though pleb

everyone needs to buy shit
no daddy buys his 25yo son all their clothes, thatd be cringe as fuck

>>14115931
It's not that your father buys stuff for you, it's just that you spend his money.

>>14115931
If you actually went to private/prep school... you already own it by necessity

>>14115914
Not gonna lie, I'm pretty jelly of you. Sounds like an amazing haul

>>14115950
oh. well who doesnt to some extent
>>14115968
so? you never buy new clothes? your 10year old shit is not due for replacement ever?

>>14115986
You probably haven't seen the frugality of the wealthy in New England. There's no reason to buy a new shirt/jacket/pants/car/couch/house/whatever when the ones you already own are perfectly fine. If you need to buy 2k worth of stuff, you probably aren't in the in group, therefore making you a larper.

>>14115998
im not even that guy
but you are taking LARP to extreme levels
no one goes a year withouth buying atleast a couple new shirts or new throway shoes like camp mocs or boatshoes

>>14116006
I agree but all of this is a lot.

>>14115914

>>14115998
As I said I dropped that fucking money cause hand me downs aren't viable when your dad looks like santa claus with a close shave. Not that I need to prove shit lmao but my own credentials are Ausfailian private school, rowing and rugby team followed by a time at what we call a "sandstone uni" and after graduation a placement at an international business. I actually got all this stuff cause I was finding I just simply didn't own enough for work purposes (because I hadn't before). its not a charmed Maine life but its the next best thing

Do you prepfags pray and go to Church every Sunday? You’re a LARPer if you don’t do this.

>>14115986
Yeah but I cop mostly suits now, not this style. I'm more commenting on those larping the style. I've probably got enough preppy clothes for a lifetime aside from a few pickups here and there, 3 closets of them, some of my favorite shirts I simply find the identical replacement when I wear them out. Like I said, have all of these things from necessity and haven't grown since 2004 or so, and have so much I rarely wear out clothes so I rarely need to replace much. I do buy a lot, but I collect suits now though which is wear I focus since I wear them 5-6 days a week.

Wagecucks living in flyover states larping as Prep is really hilarious

Thoughts on these hip "streamlined" collars?

>>14116031
I've been going to a High Church Anglican service its amazingly comfy. My old school chapel services were very austere low church Presbyterian but something about having outward signs makes it much more compelling. You're also more physically active with all the kneeling and standing and crossing etc. Getting dangerously close to POPERY and my grandma is very wary of it but the Rector is a great guy and its nice they have an explicit no homo rule too. You know its really old school when you get a rendition of God Save the Queen on an 1840s organ

what highschools hand out 3/2 roll navy blazers and ocbds? I went to the same private school as my dad and yet there was absolutely nothing preppy about it because no-one wears their fucking school blazer and tie after they leave the campus. We even played had rugby union and yet no-one wore the contrast collar rugby shirt, they haven't been the standard uniform for over 30 years

>>14116932
>no-one wears their fucking school blazer and tie after they leave the campus
Not the guy you're replying to but we had to wear our uniform off campus until we got home. If you were caught with your uniform untidy even a shirt untucked you got your shit fucked up.
>We even played had rugby union and yet no-one wore the contrast collar rugby shirt, they haven't been the standard uniform for over 30 years
yeah thats true at the national level too iirc today rugby uniforms are usually horizontal stripes in school/national colours made from that synthetic material. Did a double take the other day cause RL was selling a rugby shirt in my school colours lmao

I figured you guys would be the best place to ask.
What is this stile of shirt called? And do you know of any brands that have them in decent quality and price?

>>14117033
a mariniere polo?

>>14117033
That's basically a rugby shirt except the collar is navy instead of the usual white. I get mine from Columbiaknit.

>>14117072
rugby shirts have thicker stripes though

>>14117081
Rugby shirts can have thicker stripes.

This is the rugby shirt I'm wearing right now, notice the thin stripes alternating every 2 warps.

http://usa-wear.com/ostore/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_59_202&product_id=1590

Compared to a thick stripe shirt

http://usa-wear.com/ostore/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_59_60&product_id=65

I'd consider both of those rugby shirts since they both have a heavy cotton knit and a twill white collar as well as the hidden placket and rubber buttons.

Side note: The second shirt is the exact same one selling at Drakes for about 200 less.

any chance of a US rugby shirt vendor who ships to australia? We actually play rugby so its next to impossible to search google effectively. The best lead I've found is custom "year 12 jerseys" as we call them, however these are never in the classic designs and are too blatantly high school (we all get one of these in our final year)

Neither barbarian nor columbiaknit seem to ship to straya, all I've found are the SLIMFIT $200 ralph ones in department stores. It's a style that's slowly coming back in, but it's always in a fast fashion way, and not in a dependable staple kind of way

on that note, any aussies found somewhere to buy surcingle belts? Might be larp-tier here but I think it'd go nicely for a vacation look

It really isn't. Also the ocbd collars are babby tier and the shirts are too thin, too slim and too short. It's not gap but it's hardly any better than j.crew. Their sweaters are thin and the two feel pathetic compared to the higher quality stuff I've been buying as I'm getting older.

I live in Paris so I can't give yank recommendations. If you're still at university Gant is fine but once you start earning a salary, it's much nicer to buy decent clothes. The one exception for me would be some of their outerwear. I got a double decker jacket that's lasted me years. But that's one of Gant's more classic items so I'd expect it to be a bit better. Here's some recommendations.

Trousers:Natalino/Scavini/Cordings/jeans from APC/
Workwear stuff bleu de paname/albam
Casual stuff barena/maison standards/A day's march (nice sweaters)
shirts: luxire/shirtonomy mtm brooks brothers from yoox/triplstitched
workwear: boggi
outerwear: tailored vintage

Now if you're American, there's a rediculous amount of recommended stuff. Just look at the previous threads. For shirts I've had experience with Ration clothing and Kamakura shirts which are both nice.

>>14118521
>Same as a normal shirt

>>14113045
>All these people shitslinging over who is and isn't rich
If you actually came from money for real and not just online roleplaying a Nantucket gentleman who obsesses over collars - rule one mummy and daddy would have taught you is that its very rude to talk about money. Anglos don't do that. Rich Anglos never ever do. In fact the more money you have the less you talk about it. Not just because its vulgar in general to even mention money but because to make someone feel less than you is impolite. In the real world we care about a man's handshake not whether his Gucci loafers are sufficiently worn in. All this talk about the right brands and whether buying or not buying this and that gives you away as a "fake", when the real measure is morals and manners. And that is a far bigger give away and far harder to fake than owning the right clothes.

All this bullshit about who is and isn't a larper has been addressed before in these threads. It's completely fucking irrelevent. Do people not realise we are on a fashion board? It's hilarious how bent out of shape people get about ocbds and chinos considering how basic these items are. Raging against prep and arguing about who is and isn't true prep says more about a poster's sense of inferiority and ignorance of style than anything else.

Prep/ivy style is just that, a style. It's more about clean-cut styling, good hygene, good taste, no extravagance, plain and simple grooming (no dyed hair), good manners, good education and being well spoken. It's about natural fibres, long-lasting, simple styles, fabric with nice drapes and importantly, comfort. It's not about being rich anymore than streetstyle necessitates being a black american or workwear necessitates working in a factory.

Coming from old money is like the least important thing here IMO and if you think that's important you should go on /soc/ or r/Navy Blazer or some other place that prioritises 'authenticity' over personal style.

Not necessarily true. I think if you showed up to a work site with black knit tie and seersucker trousers you'd probably be laughed all the way home. Everything has a time and place. This style not just suggests but demands a certain lifestyle otherwise its just horribly out of place. So while I wouldn't say there should be some Nuremberg Laws style checking of family trees to make sure at least 5 generations back all went to the right schools I'd say if you worked in a tuna packing factory maybe forget about the brogues and stuff.

Personally depending on which part of town I go to I'll play it up or down. If you live on a housing estate your go to hell pants are going to just make your life hell.

>>14118958
>Personally depending on which part of town I go to I'll play it up or down. If you live on a housing estate your go to hell pants are going to just make your life hell.
That's pretty reasonable. You've got to work your fit into your environment. I'm going to a fairly rough part of Italy this weekend so I'm certainly not going to dress as I might here in Paris. However I would say that prep/ivy is a pretty generic, safe style that is pretty easy to modify according to the social milieu that you find yourself. Maybe it's easy for me to say since I come from a fairly preppy background (literal prep school Englishman) but I feel like the core of the style is something that anyone can get into. I mean, what's so controversial about chinos and an ocbd?

My main objection is to posters who continually go on about personal background as if it's the most important thing. I don't think they're interested in style as much as gatekeeping. We're posting on an anonymous vietnamese craigslist, who gives a fuck.

>>14118982
As I said here >>14118879
Seeing as you're from a similar background to me I'm sure you had the same talk I did as a kid where you get told to just shut up about money. Like my old pa says "the more someone talks about money the less they have of it." People who go on about shit like that are absolutely compensating for something itt or otherwise

>>14116599
>Don’t wear jeans casually
are you saying wearing jeans formally

>>14118879
I agree completely, but the reason I reiterate that certain brands are trash (ex. VV and RL) is because the individuals who buy them typically buy them as a status symbol (individuals who have a low socioeconomic status usually buy RL, middle class suburban kids usually buy VV). That doesn’t necessarily make a person a “fake”, but I’m inclined to believe they are coping if they’re a walking billboard.

Sub 100 for good shirts you must be dreaming kid

>>14119026
Yeah RL is a brand thats really become mall tier (not as badly as tommy) but they do have some good things here and there. Where I'm from its both chadcore and pajeetcore so I don't know what to make of that. If you get the discreet Polo stuff I think thats fine but you can fuck right off if you buy that huge pony shit. Real estate agents and pajeets are the target market for those shirts

>>14119010
Don’t wear jeans at all unless your doing something outside lol

Burgundy if there’s no brown

You sound like an absolute faggot
I don't even like to bother with the utter larpage in this threads I'm just here because I like the way it looks
I'm a third generation attendee to a prestigious private school as well as a very well known college prep school that i'd really not even mention on this website and everyone knows you don't dress like that because of the "rules" you dress like that because it looks good you weird fucker, its tradition
and that's real tradition, not whatever bullshit (likely founded in ~1989) school tradition you think you have

This plus talking about money makes gold digging whores appear like flies around rotten meat. Even if you thought there weren't any women nearby, some bitches with shiny eyes and no breeding will materialize and that shit's fucking horrible.

I used to buy all my chinos at Bonobos, but literally everything they sell now is stretch cotton or "high tech" bullshit. Where can I get nice chinos that are 100% cotton with no special treatments and no bullshit?

>>14118391
Different anon but you wanna focus on Barbour, Alden’s, higher end UK companies, Mercer and Sons for preppy custom made shirts. Real prep requires money see pic attached.
LL Bean is alright if you need to be frugal.

>>14119654
I’m not a huge fan of Bonobos, but they’re the only brand, that I know of, that sells high quality 7” shorts. J Crew and VV do as well but the quality isn’t as good.

>>14119819
Are you actually retarded? Should I break out my top hat instead?

bit loafers if you wanna be flashy
penny loafers if you wanna be acceptable
tassel loafers if you wanna become god

>>14118851
I'm American, what are actually good brands, ones online seem kinda tacky and I can't tell the quality

>>14119956
That's perfect, just look up some athletic inspo.
Rugby players, polo etc.

>>14119559
Not a lot I'm afraid. Would love to know any which aren't the standard trash kilo shops that only sell crap. I usually get my second hand clothes when I go back to England (charity shops are awesome).

>>14120021
I wear some out there stuff but for some reason tassel loafers are a bridge too far for me. I have very conservative footwear but hey I might risk it all and get a pair lmao
>>14120108
Personally I never buy clothes online because I can't tell quality and the sizing is often all over the place. If you've exhausted everywhere driving distance I'd say for the amount of money you'll be spending only go for the big reputable brands that have been around for a while, read reviews etc etc. This website has a few good links in this article and the sponsored ads on the side are all solid brands too.
https://www.saltwaternewengland.com/2019/02/question-to-which-clothing-brands-and.html

Again, do your research to prevent buyers remorse, but you shouldn't be disappointed by the quality of anything on that page

>>14113045
What's a good midrange chino brand lads?

>>14115752
not prep

>>14113045
I'm really struggling with the shoe part of prep. Only sufficiently dressy shoes I own are some black derbies but I don't feel like they go with the colouring of most prep attire, and I'm not red pilled enough to start into boat shoes and loafers and the like.

>>14120415
Saddles my friend if not some mocs?

>>14120415
brown is the classic ivy/prep shoe color. if you prefer lace-ups over loafers, try wearing brown bluchers or derbies w/ brouging

>>14120415
Don't tell the others but I'll often just wear sneakers bruh. I've got a couple colours of the converse one stars that I think looks fine.

>>14120392
Ll bean they have a nice rise as well

>>14120349
I always buy online because there aren't any good shops in my city. Decent sites will have their sizing readily available and if not you can always email them for info.

Then you just get a tape measure, measure your clothes and compare.

>>14120021
>tassel loafers if you wanna become god
I am thinking on getting suede ones for summer

>>14120463
>Suede for summer
You better not.

>>14120411
True, more like mixed trad. Anyway the looks and fits varies between Americans and Euros (brits included here).

>>14120538
Where I live is really hard that in summer temperatures go above 32 ºC, I dont think suede tassel loafers will be too hard. I use nobuck boat shoes and no problem at all

>>14115752
Info on the jacket?

>>14120695
It looks like an olive green M65

>>14120463
Only acceptable summer suede are white bucks

>>14121091
Desert Boots and wallabees are good options too

i want a pair of boat shoes that are really sturdy and bombproof and will last a long time, and dont mind paying extra. Do you think these gokey "worlds best boat shoes" are too grandpa-ish looking? i have no doubt the quality and construction are great, but they look sort of hideous

>>14121523
dad core boat shoe

>>14121523
yea thats disgusting, if you really want quality just go quoddy

Got my harrington jacket coming in the mail tomorrow.
What are some other prep jacket styles that look good for when it's cold but not freezing?

>>14121523
Those kinda look like my Minnetonka moccasins lol

>>14121705
Colorful lightweight windbreakers with a crew neck underneath

>>14121705
Barbour Beaufort/Ashby/Bedale. I wear my beaufort almost exclusively between 30-60 degree weather.

>>14121705
Anorak, lightweight parka, varsity jacket, military jacket (M-51), down vest/gilet, mac coat.

I'm sure this was posted on Reddit or something but what do we think of the advice?

>>14121838
It's a little basic but it's not bad advice. It would benefit from a little more variation in the shirts, especially for summer as well as a bit more color.

>>14121838
I'm not familiar with Gitman Vintage as I don't have a store near me to try them on.
How are they? They're about 130 or so for a shirt

>>14121838
Some of the brands aren't my preference, and I would rather have more variety instead of 3/4 of my oxford shirts being blue and 3/5 of my pants being khaki and the other 2 being blue. I would lean towards more linen and light shirts and less flannel and a lighter jacket, but I live somewhere hot. Maybe some boots or something for rain.

>>14121838
There is nothing wrong with it but it is very "business casual core" so try not to fall asleep when you look at yourself in the mirror. Gotta throw some yellows, reds, pinks and greens in there man. Madras Bermuda shorts, trousers with lobsters on them, belts with 3 different colours etc etc

>>14121888
Great materials
Great patterns
Decent collar roll (3 inch around about)
Annoying as fuck length
Inconsistent sizing

Buy on sale.

>>14116060
use the pennies as beaters and the guccis more sparingly

>>14117524
too small, just buy bb

>>14121838
Its a good guide for starting, some things might need a tweak though

>>14121838
things lacking in this wardrobe:
no basic white sneakers
no polo shirts
no black pants/jeans
no basic denim jacket (i would argue this is a prep essential)

>>14122147
Can people post some prep inspo with denim jackets because I'm having a hard time picturing it. Same with black pants.

>>14122147
Black denim and denim jacket seems more skater/punk than prep.

well i think 80's george michael (in his wham days) was very prep. like, the faded jeans, faded denim jacket with collar popped, and a bright polo shirt

>>14122147
Black should be only use on funerals or really important night events (suits/dinner suits)

These threads are so sad

denim isn't prep

>>14115794
this. There are far too many non-whites and poor people in ivies nowadays.

>>14122206
Why should it

>>14122361
Harvard is notorious for their diversity acceptance
If you're white and male with a 4.0 you're going to be passed over for a minority anything with a 3.5, no matter what.
Happened to my little brother with a 4.2 Every Ivy he applied to denied him

>>14122361
can confirm, my brother is at Princeton and he's told me all kinds of horror stories

>>14122454
That was the first school my brother applied to and the first he was rejected from.
If he wasn't white he'd be in

Thoughts on Gitman Bros? I don't really like to pay more than $100 for a shirt, but they look pretty nice.

>>14120021
These are a really nice model. Cordovan?

Just ordered my first oxford from Kamakura. I'm 6'3" and thin so I went with the New York slim.
If they're nice I might just keep getting more from them as they have loads of different styles and materials. Their lack of colors though is unfortunate, it's basically either white or blue with them.

>>14122379
There are thirty six thousand high schools in America. It's safe to assume at least one person at every high school hits just as hard as your brother in the grades department. Ivies can't accept all of them, if you don't have the grades you're screwed but you also need some proven finesse in a specific field, you need to indicate you're going to be an industry leader of someone of note when you graduate.

>>14122147
>>14122177
Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in here?

>>14122185
Black is also used at some weddings, depending on the time of day.

>>14122737
It's just crazy how you can have a weighted GPA of 4.2 or higher with JROTC background and all that and still be looked over but Tyrone Jefferson who can barely read gets in for being black. Or just be non-white at all or a woman. If you're a non-white woman you have the best chance of all.

I wouldn't go to Harvard for undergrad, but for something like business school or law school I would.

>>14122734
Their oxfords are based, especially the vintage ivy ones. I really want a yellow one but they don't have any in manlet fit right now, just new york fit. I also am kind of skeptical of their non button-down shirts because they all look like they have really wide spread collars.

>>14122769
Yeah, I'll probably stick to their button downs as they all look really good from their pics. I feel like I know what I'm getting with them as opposed to a dress shirt

>>14122177
Not prep more like rebel core

>>14121838
>beginner guide

Also the whole outerwear section needs to go straight into the trash

Honest opinions on Land’s End?
Imo their web gives off this cheap material vibe, but I’ve never ordered anything from there so I can be totally wrong

>>14122883
Good for low end stuff. I really like their Hyde Park OCBD and have been meaning to get a few of the polos for beater shirts.

What are good brands for casual, unconstructed, unlined summer sportcoats in light fabrics, with halal details?

Where can I cop a good rugby shirt sub $100?

>>14122963
Columbiaknit

>>14122883
>>14122891
Beware. Their OCBD’s collar is like 2.75 inches and only collars >3 can produce a quality roll, so only wear them casually without ties

>>14122759
Unironically minorities do deserve a break in the education department. If what you’re saying is true (while it probably is an exaggeration) then 20 years down the line, black and Latino populations will be much better off and there will be much less racial tension in America. Even if youre a middle class white cis white male you can safeguard a path to an Ivy by distinguishing yourself in a field. For example, you could write a short story/novel if you’re gifted in literature. Or publish a scientific paper if that is what you wish to pursue. It’s not a crapshoot for everyone it just takes some extra pinpointed focus if you have the same characteristics (white skin, a penis) as the majority of other applicants. Forgive me for any typos I’m a mobilefag.

Fuck off
I can just imagine how thick your stupid glasses are and what shade of blue your dyke hair is today.
If you work hard and earn it, you deserve it. If you're white and work for good grades you should get accepted into a good school. If you're black and do the same you deserve it as well.
If you're black and have worse grades and extracurriculars than a white then guess what? You don't get accepted over them because they earned it. That's the way it should be. Affirmative action is bullshit and no matter how you SJW pieces of shit try to spin it, it's true.
I don't care what color skin someone has. They have to earn what they get just like anyone else.

If you want to wear a jacket wear summer weight wool, cottons like madras; seersucker; and twill weaves, or linen

Their plain washed cotton chinos used to be my favorites and they had all kinds of colors, but now literally all their pants are stretch bullshit or technical synthetic bullshit, so I'm looking for a replacement. Now they sell a bunch of shirts too mostly in a bunch of loud prints, I bought one a while ago and it's alright I guess.

>>14124915

>>14124915

>>14125170
They used to be 100% cotton and based. They got bought out by Walmart so I guess that's why they're shit now.

>>14122892
The "new" J. Press has a bunch of items that fit that description, from the Japanese catalog, as does Brooks Brothers Black Fleece (rest in pieces). I believe Beams Plus has them every summer, including this year and Mr. Porter, Need Supply Co, etc have them (with heavy markups) but one can sometimes find them on Ebay for much less. I also remember Club Monaco of all places had unlined, unconstructed sack jackets for the summer a few years ago, I wonder if they still have those...


Other than that, one has to go vintage or do some unspeakable things with J Crew Wallace & Barnes or buy vintage Tommy Hilfiger stuff. If one goes with the suggestions from the other uses, the cut tends to not be a sack (waist darts and all), not to mention the cuff buttons.
