You are all a bunch of nerdy mommy’s boy faggots. You have no style of your own, you just read gay guidebooks and pretend to be rich

Dind't expected that Uniqlo might have 100% cotton chinos

Where can I get double breasted suits with trad details (pure wool, undarted, natural shoulder)? Where can I get trad three piece suits? Most trad brands (J. Press, O'Connells, etc) seem to only offer two piece single breasted suits.

>>14682218
Have you looked at Ben Silver, Cable Car Clothiers and Brooks Brothers?

>>14682236
Why? THe entire premise of this Core is that you are Rich, or at least your parents are. All else is just larping. If your parents didn't send you to prep school, or couldve at least afforded to, you can't be TIP.

None of them had what I wanted.

Are you guys into any styles other than prep? I am fond of normcore/dadcore when I want a more casual fit for the weekend, something like Trump's fit in pic related.

Retoast. So I just got a pair of mocs and on my left foot, they felt a little tight on the top part of my foot. Sizing up a half size didn't help too much, so I figured it I replace them, they'll stretch and become more comfortable.

They are the jackman bean mocs, and I sized to my brannock size just wondering if this is normal or not. (I mean according to brannock I have been wearing the wrong size for my whole life so eh)

>>14682250
Sorry bud, it ain't so. Also does anyone know how the blucher mocs on LL Bean are? I need some fall sauce for my feet

normcore and somewhat skatecore (only the tees)
might seem as a weird mix but it is quite common for dutch students who are in a frat.

>>14682331
So many of those words hurt me.
>Lauren Ralph Lauren
>Ultraflex

>>14682271
Sometimes even the same brand and at the same size, have big differences in sizing. For example I wear 44EU in a pair of Sebagos and 45EU in another pair of them

Rebloaping from end of last thread:
>>14681441
Do you know if the Uniqlo wide fit cords are good? And for that matter, if they'll restock their cords? I realized that you could get a corduroy suit for pretty cheap but I also thought I vaguely remembered the Uniqlo U stuff being some faggy limited edition.

>>14682392
Uniqlo is not fucking Tpi. Just stop this larping shit. Uniqlo is fast fucking fashion. TIP is the opposite of fast fashion. It's timeless and it never changes much because it's all classic.

>>14682404
So you are telling us that some corduroy pants aren't a timeless or classic item because they are made by Uniqlo... Yeah... it makes sense... If the same pants had a JPress in the tag you would say they are TIP

>>14682423
No! No I wouldn't!

>>14682447
So corduroy pants aren't TIP for you... Good to know

>>14682404
It's only fast fashion if you treat it like that. Uniqlo are ptetty decent quality. I've had some trousers and jeans from Uniqlo for years. Your post reeks of pointless snobbery.

>>14682467
Well, the classic and basics are normal stuff, what is fast fashion are all those collabs they do

>>14682584
>Zara chinos
This is unacceptable what the fuck's wrong with you. Get some better quality pants.

>>14682584
Stop responding to shitposters. Just hide and move on

>>14682593
They have hold up very well the past of time. They are also 100% cotton and quite warm, nowadays all their stuff has elastane.

>>14682584
Solid fit. What is the shirt's pattern?

>>14682584
Dorky as fuck. Put some weight on boy

>>14682404
Uniqlo is fine, their stuff is good for the price and lots of really classical items with no logos. The people calling out the whole prep thing refer to faggots like you

I think those shoes don't work that well with those pants, it would be better with the light khaki brogues you have

I can't find good pants here in brazil

The old dogs that work with me have nice high rises with seemingly good fabric but i'm not gonna ask them about it and risk losing my dignity

>>14682874
Search for luxury or expensive shops in your area. It is highly probable that they buy them there and not on the internet

>>14682782
Thanks, I think maybe I need some medium brown shoes. Anyone got a good resource for colour matching? Looking at the autism colour wheel there's no grey/brown and different shades of the two. I can't figure it out.

>>14682749
I dig it, love the shoes - where'd you get the pants?

>>14682874
>i'm not gonna ask them about it and risk losing my dignity
Dork, just ask them. How are you supposed to learn traditions except by receiving them from your elders? And how the fuck does it expose your dignity anyway to go "hey man where'd you get your trousers? I can't find any good shops"? Is this some hue shit where you have to stab anybody who you admit any kind of flaw or ignorance to? I think I missed that episode of Black Orpheus

>>14682944
Natalino. I'm the fag that keeps on shilling for them. Green cords I posted in the other thread are also the same brand.

>>14683017
oh yeah, i saw them referenced in the last thread. they looked really nice and the cut looked good for my body type, but I feel like I would rather have belt loops and a plain front. just how i personally feel, maybe i need to broaden my horizons some more

>>14683036
I don't miss the belt. Plain front you mean no pleats?

Sorry for the bad pic. I'm going for dinner with the gf (not imaginary) so I thought I'd change it up.

could this guy from the last thread tell me w2c blazer and trousers?

>>14683063
Read 3-4 posts above you

>>14683063
Blazer is Massimo dutti. I bought it a long time ago and I'm desperate to replace it as it's way too short.

>>14683052
yeah, i'm just not personally into pleats. they look a little too old fashioned for me

>>14683108
It's way too short because pants are high rise, it would look better with mid rise

>>14682931
https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/
Get the greys at the center and then apply monochromatic, for browns move to the red area

>>14683112
Whatever floats Ur boat m8. Single pleat doesn't stick out much to me.

>>14682205
i wish i could filter within a thread.

>>14683124
Nah, they're too short when I wear medium rise trousers. I've got a longish torso so anything under 31inches isn't going to cover my bum.

>>14683132
I find hiding time consuming but worth it.

Thoughts on this? European hunter core?

>>14683124
Ah thanks btw

>>14682392
yeah i was also curious about the wide fit cords. anyone buy them?

>>14683132
1-Install ViolentMonkey or any other usersscript addon on your web browser
2-Add 4chan X to it (https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x))
3- Go top right corner (4chan x settings)
4- Go to filter, select general.
5- Paste there /twink/i and do the same with the rest of bad words

It will filter all posts containing those words (case sensitive)

I'll add the guide in a pastebin file for that 3rd post from OP

>>14683361
This is my favourite

>>14683358
The different shetland sweaters are prep, they also have brushed ones there. The collection is quite good and can fit in many styles

Corduroy weather is back, boys.

>>14683381
Those loafers need treatment

>>14683017
I like that cuff. ID on the shirt?

>>14683413
Drake's. Got it from their factory shop for £65

In need of some good chinos. How are Uniqlos slim fit? I know they do hemming, so I wonder if they are any good for the price since that saves me some time

>>14683420
I think we need a trouser guide.

Cordings O'Connell's Uniqlo vintage (very casual)....

>>14683449
Don't do Uniqlo slimfit. Go for the vintage fit. Slimfit has a low rise, is elasticated, thinner and generally less tip

Why is Uniqlo so hyped? Because it's japanese?

>>14683471
Japanese, acceptable quality, affordable

>>14683471
Not hyped so much as commonly recommended. Most people on Reddit or 4chan are either young or too amateur to invest much money in quality clothing. Uniqlo is both cheap, decent enough and ubiquitous enough to be a good recommendation.

>>14683271
>>14683358
>>14683361

the shaggy bear sweater in that red/purple looks great. really dig this scarf as well.
lots of the pics are overly loud but bits and pieces would do well by themselves in a plain outfit.

>>14683684
No? Cords are huge this season. Every major store has a selection of them.

>>14683490
Well, in reddit there is a decent ammount of posters who spend shitloads of money on clothing.

>>14683611
I am actually sure that I saw that scarf or something really really similar when I did the sweater list (which includes some scarves as well)

>>14683684
No, as long as it is not extremely baggy.

>>14683093

ty

When buying a flannel for prep, what sizing do you aim for? Do you choose size as if it were a dress shirt, or go larger. I'd do medium by measurements.

just discovered buzz rickson. picking up about 8 pieces, are there any other resource as quality and old school?

>>14683124
>It's way too short because pants are high rise, it would look better with mid rise
Bruh no, that works the other way around. The higher your trousers sit on your waist, the shorter a jacket you can get away with. If you have a too-short jacket and low rise trousers they barely overlap and you look like a mega retard.

I recently saw an image with some solid advice but i wasnt able to download it (not the one with the school ring) it was mostly formal outfits but with casual options.

Where could I find stylish blazers similar to these ones? please

Are you wearing a khaki ocbd?

Where can I get a pure wool three button suit? (A regular three button, not a 3/2 roll)

Not what I wore today, but testing out some stuff for F/W. "Dark academia" style

>>14684897
The camera-mirror-angle thing is a nightmare, in the previous photo I look super slim and when I get closer (see floor), I become fat and my legs change a lot.

>>14684899
The stuff is Camplin navy blue peacoat, Aran Sweater Market cream aran sweater, Toro popplin button down (not seen), Gilbert Wilson of Hawick fair isle scarf, Massimo Dutti corduroy pants, Massimo Dutti woolen argyle socks, Castellano 1920 beefroll penny loafers.

>>14684742
Yeah. Gitman vintage. Bit of an odd one. I found it in a charity shop for 5€ so thought fuck it why not.

>>14684864
Regular three button should be a dime a dozen. All the manufacturers were churning then out during the 90s. Thrifting should turn them out in droves.

>>14684897
>dark academia

>>14684919
It's a nice purchase.

>>14684734
>green cords
Yes, brown shoes. Absolutely brown.

>>14682392
Bumping this question, in particular if anyone knows whether they restock and when.

>>14684899
This one is great

Been going nuts expanding my footwear now that I have a job, just copped pic from Beckett Simonon. Really wanted a pair of monk straps AND a nice pair in a burgundy/bordeaux leather, so this fits the bill really nicely for 200 bucks. It's really the only color I could justify getting right now. Seems okay enough, but I'll post pics when they come in.

See you all in January lol

>>14685217

>>14685242
Does this general hate monkstraps or something?

>>14685244
Derbies and Oxfords here. Monkstraps are for tryhards and niggers/pajeets

>>14685244
Double monks in particular are regarded as trendhopping because they were so huge in GQ-type menswear a few years back that they're now stuck with the backlash of having been a fad. Single-strap monks are better, but still kind of an Italian style element rather than the hard anglo this thread has going.

Personally I think you should just enjoy your new shoes without getting sad that /fa/ didn't like them, but that's what's going on here.

>>14685259
>sad that /fa/ didn't like them
Just /tip/, they probably have many fanboys at WAYWT or other threads

>>14684734
green + khaki has a very mil vibe but i dig it. your socks are the actual problem. brown socks with black shoes?
either go with the shoe color or pant leg color.

Anyone has any experience with Luxire, namely trousers? How are the import duties to EU? Is it better to measure your favourite pants and adjust for higher rise etc. or to measure your body?

>>14685245
Idgi. Everyone here is a tryhard anyways because I doubt anyone browsing this board is in a higher class

>>14685259
Thanks friend. I will, I never gave two shits about some GQ yuppies. I've always liked monks personally. I do prefer single monks too, but I really want a pair in this color and haven't had much luck.

Cheers

Anyone actually high class wouldn't need this thread or its advice because their friends & family would influence their style and be their resource.
This thread is just mid 20 somethings who are post college and trying to either
A. find a more adult style
B. not look like a mong in the office
C. wanting to know how menswear should fit, decent brands, fabrics, and how much they should cost.
D. wanting to wear menswear but in a more carefully casual vibe but not denim casual.
>I've always liked monks personally. I do prefer single monks too
enjoy them m8. the shoes look fine. i see people wearing monks all the time where i live/work (washington DC).
this thread definitely is anti-monk but you could always try to change our minds with a fit pic or two.

great fit from waywt
loving the color of the blazer

>>14684460
>>14684463
trust me, you don't want loud patterned blazers like that

>>14685348
this is a fantastic fit, probably one of the best ive seen in any of these threads. people here will be triggered by the black shoes, but thats because they dont know what they're doing and hold on too tightly to arbitrary fashion "rules"

>>14684481
i went to prep school so I have the wardrobe, i'm just here for inspo and sifting through the faggy debates is tedious. Has nothing to do with fragility you cunt.

>>14685373
>people here will be triggered by the black shoes
plenty of us have black shoes and they work great with navy pants. they're just not as versatile as brown shoes so we don't rec them very often unless someone expresses they already have plenty of brown shoes

>>14685348
Looks great, ngl

>>14685297
Yeah I was going for a military thing with the watch as well. Will take your advice on thanks.

Cool straw man. Black shoes go fine with navy trousers.

>>14685384
Spirited your school clothes still fit you and are of a high enough quality to satisfy you.

>>14685373
Why would anybody get triggered by black shoes with navy trousers? Or this type of gray/brown sportcoat for that matter?

No, I'm triggered by his trousers being too slim and especially too short.

it's a great fit m8. one would say almost the gold standard for this thread.

>>14685686
It's a good fit but the collar is too small for that tie, the sleeves are too long and the belt doesn't match the shoe colour. Also I'm slightly suspicious of the jacket's fit since I can't see what he looks like standing up with his arms down. No doubt it's decent but it's hardly a great fit. Still better than a lot of what we've seen so far ofc.

>>14685348
>Collar too small for tie
>Belt and watch strap don't match shoes
>Pant is Slim, short and low-rise
Overall it is fine

>>14685517

Is Madras ok in winter? Or should be exchanged for flannels?

>>14687295
Madras is for Summer and maybe Spring. You should wear flannels in Fall and Winter. Of course, if you live in a tropical area, you can wear Summer stuff year round.

How do I dress preppy in a tropical climate?

I mean what should I be wearing when it's the dry season and when it's the rainy season?

>>14687301

What if it's raining? Can I wear a barbour over a polo?

>>14687396
Not rainy:
-Linen, Seersucker, hemp or popplin shirts or polo shirts. If it is a bit cold: light merino wool sweater
-Seersucker pants, lightweight chinos, madras pants. (All this applies to shorts too)
-Loafers, drivers, boat shoes, camp mocs or canvas sneakers

On rainy times I guess you could use some lightweight Barbour, a raincoat or similar, and rain boots

Avoid lambswool, cashmere, Oxford cloth, corduroy, moleskin and other cold weather stuff

>>14687396
>What if it's raining? Can I wear a barbour over a polo
If it's raining but still hot, I would reccomend a rain slicker instead of a Barbour, it would keep you dry without making you uncomfortably warm.

>>14687396
>How do I dress preppy in a tropical climate?
Linen slacks, linen sportcoats, white or cream colored lightweight chinos, madras shirts, short sleeved polos (get them in bright colors to compliment the tropical vibe), seersucker suits, madras pants, madras shorts, seersucker shorts, khaki shorts.

What are the essentials colors of polo shirt to own? If I had the money to buy five Lacoste polos, what would be the most trad colors to get?

Poplin is an excellent hot weather material. Poplin slacks, poplin button downs, poplin golf jackets.

Er, good luck mate. You might want to try oxfam or search ebay for vintage marks and spencer (st michael) Before the 90s when they were made in Israel, and now when they're made in various 3rd world countries, the St Michael range of marks and sparks suiting was made in england.

IIRC the original Lacoste polo was white and the second color they made as parrot green, so get those. Unlike the others I think a light or mid blue is better than navy since the polos are summer wear anyway. I agree with >>14687603
that yellow and fuchsia are good last picks, the regular red is too loud.

>>14687447

>If I had the money to buy five Lacoste polos, what would be the most trad colors to get?

What's your skin tone and hair color? You need to figure out what colors you can and can't wear and match that to spring/summer colors.

Brooks Brothers usually releases seven piece packs of polo shirts. It is cool to see what colours they pick as basics

Their trad/classic collection is this one from pic

This is "the gent"

>>14685827

>>14687766
And this is "the prep". If I had to take 5, I would get 2 colours from the classic, 2 from the prep and 1 from the gent.

>>14685366
Ok. I guess it's the sort of garment that only looks good on models under certain circumstances

>>14687749
I know,and I already let one slide,even tough it was probably for the best. Truly rare.
Her fashion sense is not the best, but she dresses modestly.That comes with time so I guess I should not worry. Morals are more important.
She told her grandmother that I wear a suit to University sometimes and her grandmother told her that not too long ago everybody wore a suit to University.
The fact she's mentioning me to her grandmother and then telling me about it is probably a good thing

>>14687770
Prep pack is by far the best of these, and I say that as someone who dresses trad rather than prep. Polos are essentially casual summer- and sportswear, it's autism to wear dark colors and try to look respectable in that type of garment. If you try to stand on your dignity too much it makes you look ridiculous.

>>14687813
Good decision, those blazers are typical GQ-menswearism. In two-three years they'll look ridiculous, you'll be full of regrets, and you won't be able to shift them for love or money.

>>14687893
Do you wear same loud colours at summer nights or during spring or early fall?

>>14687913
Who the fuck changes into a different polo because it got dark? Anyway, most of the ones in the prep pack are still fine for that. Light blue isn't really a loud color.

If it's fall enough to *feel* like fall I don't wear polos, simple as that. They pretty much come out of my rotation once the weather dips below 70.

It's not expensive to get British made clothes. I have a whole shopping list made up and the most expensive thing is the shoes. I don't mind paying a bit extra for a jacket that's going to last me years.

Where's good place to get some relaxed fit, pleated cords? Looking for some nice colors too like moss green or cranberry

Club Monaco has some pretty decent cords this year. Not too skinny, good mid rise, wale isnt overly large or small. Pretty solid pants if you want something more modern.

What is a good way to transport stuff for university, gym and work in the university? Backpack, bag etc? Most do look very out of place with the rest of the style

>>14688297

>>14689019
Just hold that shit. Also, a good tipper will always have expansive pockets. I can fit a Kindle in my flannel trouser pockets

Can we discuss trad/prep lifestyle stuff/activities as well as clothes? Like talk about what we've been up to lately, discuss whether various activities are trad or not, etc?

>>14689104

Is Badminton trad? I know that Squash and Tennis are trad, but I'm not sure about Badminton.

>>14689104
I feel like this is edging on pretending and belongs more to r/navyblazer. I much prefer thinking and talking about taking inspiration from the style and generally posting and critiquing fits so we can just look better.

>>14689104
It would be nice to build these threads into sort of a trad/prep community, branching out from mere clothing discussion (but not actually abandoning clothes, just talking about other things as well). I mean, if people can make millions of "Is (thing) effay?" threads, then why can't we branch out into aspects of the trad lifestyle other than clothes?

>>14689216
>I feel like this is edging on pretending
Well, since people call us LARPers anyway, why not just embrace it?
>and belongs more to r/navyblazer.

talking about lifestyle will summon the attention seeking faggots

>>14689288
I mean literal gays though. Additionally, I don't see how talking about hunting or golf or whatever will suddenly bring a magical influx of fags to the thread.

>>14689272
Lifestyle is nice. It gives us stuff to talk about besides clothes (I know we're on fa but it's also just cool to chill) like tennis is cool to talk about. Hobbies that fit into this that people are actually into. For example I am into politics, Vidya, and interracial (bmwf) cuckolding. I would love to be able to discuss my hobbies and activities in /TIP/

>>14689297
Here's your (you)

>>14689298
Thanks but my argument was actually a satire against discussing "lifestyle" in TIP threads because it would boil down to "I golf" "I went to the country club" and other bullshit keeping up appearances things. Just dress like a tradnigger and post fits like the rest of us

>>14689342
I suppose you have a point.

You know what really peeves me? All the people who do prep completely wrong. I'm okay with other styles like streetwear, I look down on them, but they don't make me rage. What makes me rage is all the pseudopreps who make prep look bad. The bros in their vineyard vines t-shirts. The fratboys who dress like a cartoonish parody of prep, wearing pastel shorts and hot pink polos all at once because they don't realize that GTH items should be worn ONE AT A TIME. The "preppy" thots who think wearing a Barbour jacket with their yoga pants makes them classy. The MFA redditors in their tapered uniqlo khakis and slim fit oxfords. The finance bros in their midtown uniforms. It all fucking sucks, it makes prep look bad, and it tricks people who are new to prep into dressing like shit, perpetuating these styles. Are there any people left who dress trad who aren't either elderly people, or internet clothing enthusiasts?

>>14689398
At least when the OPH came out, and 80s normies tried their hands at prep, they were learning about it from a decent source.

>>14689398
At least when the OPH came out, and 80s normies tried their hands at prep, they were learning about it from a decent source. Today, they just go online and end up getting shit advice from reddit, or they copy how fratboys dress. It's infuriating.

Is fencing prep? I know it's eurotrad as all hell but I feel like preps mostly took over the beefier Oxbridge sports, like tennis, rugby and rowing.

>>14689398
>thots who think wearing a Barbour jacket with their yoga pants makes them classy
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH

>>14689432
It's prep. Or, at least, it is not glaringly "anti-prep"

I've been looking at the J. Press and O'Connells websites, and I'm wondering, who keeps those brands afloat? I mean, the actual old money wasps who dress like that already have inherited clothes, new money yuppies don't want to look waspy, they want Armani suits and skinny jeans, frat bros just shop at Vineyard Vines and Southern Tide, and most of the people who actually care about the trad details (natural fibers, undarted suits, etc) are middle class clothing hobbyists like myself, who merely WISH they could afford J. Press and O'connell's. Is there some demographic that I'm not aware of here?

>>14689436

It's a forced meme. It started out, I think, as a backlash against nofap. I don't know why he felt the need to post it here.

>>14689616
Ugh, low class.
(Of him, that is. Appreciate you filling me in, Anon.)

>>14689432
Yes, trad as fuck

>>14689484
Old money has to change the clothes sometimes or get new stuff. Add other respectable whites and you have it

>>14689149
Are you black?

>>14689484
These brands are all that's left. In the 60s there were endless brands (as evidenced by the incredible variety of vintage jackets) who made essentially the same sort of stuff. America is a big country, there will always be enough customers to keep a number of trad manufacturers in business.
>actual old money wasps who dress like that already have inherited clothes,
You know, even if you inherit clothes, you will always want to buy more. Anyway, j.press have dinner collabs with the likes of rowing blazers and they've been diversifying their output of late so they're aware of how their market shrinking. The rise of igentery in the past ten years has certainly helped buoye their sales, if not in jackets then in shaggy dogs, shirts etc

>>14689398
Jeez you really come across as a pompous blowhard who takes himself way too seriously. You need to take a step back and realise they're just clothes and that we are just messing around playing an expensive game of dress up.

That's insightful. There is an over-arching aspect to all of this though: most people, whether they dress "prep" or "Goth Ninja", do not have a refined effortless ability to style themselves and adapt their tastes.

It's a tiny group of people, who take the time and actually like Fashion, and aesthetics, fitting, color, sizes, forms. These people have a sense of their own style, and it might involve some pieces of one core or another.

>Dressing "Prep"
This is actually a red herring, it doesn't exist. Because the more and more you try to micro-manage every single piece to try and ensure its "all Preppy/Trad/Etc", the more meme-ish is becomes. You lose your authenticity in this endeavor.

>>14689432

Morning friends. Figured I'd let you all know that J.Crew is having a sale in store where pretty much everything is 40 percent off, and they will also order things if they are out of stock (Because they were out of the slim chinos I wanted) So, got some pretty nice chinos for around 45 bucks a pair in green, honey, grey, and navy. Think it is going on until the end of next week.

Also got a really nice sweater.

>>14690177
Nothing wrong with cheap clothing per se and anyone that criticizes you because of the label is a classless douche. However, generally you will want to spend more as price quality ratio is pretty good with traditional clothing. Still, I buy my socks, chinos and wool gloves from uniqlo, shirts from drakes and all my blazers are vintage brooks on ebay and my shoes are from Northampton. I'm a total cheapskate so the drake's shirts are all 65 pounds each (which is a great price IMO for a nice shirt) and most of my clothes are second hand or bought on sale. The most expensive stuff I have bought are my shoes which are all gw welted northamton shoes which even despite this are 200 pounds on sale. I'd say shoes are worth spending money on above all. I still wear shoes I bought 6 years ago and they still look good. Definitely worth it.

>>14690273

>>14690146
J Crew is a complete shit company with low quality. It is not prep, and they do not have 40% off sales, they have "this is what are clothes are actually worth days."

The whole point of prep clothes is that they are quality and will last

>>14690581
yeah yeah tell me some more about what class you are in, you filthy proletariat

>>14690581
I've had multiple things from J.Crew that have lasted me years of wear. They're fucking chinos dipshit. Cool your autism.

>>14690598
I wouldn't recommend j.crew for tip for their chinos or shirts which are by and large slimfit in style. The shirt collars are small and the fabric is no better than any other mall store. I really don't see the appeal. However I do swear by their drawstring shorts (6" inseam) which are perfectly comfortable and good for exercise or lounging about.

>>14690656
It is not that bad...

>>14690875
It's not bad at all. It's just mediocre office core that doesn't really belong in tip which should surely strive to be a bit better than the average MFA redditor.

I literally made a post to save people here from making the mistake of buying J Crew based on personal experience. Completely surprised when I come back and people are defending it. At there are a few other non retards here backing me up.

If you want something less expensive, buy from Spier and MacKay. They actually have surprisingly good quality and better details on the clothing for preps.

Nothing will compare to the ecstasy that is the feel of my J Press oxford.

>>14691506

Lacostes are not worth it nowadays, friend. Their quality is still good, but the price is high and there is a high chance that they are fake. Not to mention that the crocodile patch is awfully out of fashion.

what are some brands of dress shirts that have a similar fit and quality to suit supplys? I have the 'purple line' shirt that retails for $99 and i find the fit and quality of the shirt to be really nice. its thick but soft shirt that looks great.
i bought some shirts from brooks brothers but they fit poorly imo (too baggy) and 2 of the shirts that I purchased from the sale are incredibly thin and see-through.

Do you think having a monk strap as a 'signiture' piece is dumb or are they batter than laces?

>Not to mention that the crocodile patch is awfully out of fashion.
The croc is literally the only visible brand/label that it's acceptable to wear in trad style.

Just so you know, sleeve garters are fucking horrible to wear, very uncomfortable. Especially those metal ones.

>>14692360
Ah. I don't think I'll need them but it's just something I was looking at.

Yeh, fair enough, but I used to wear those things and I had to stop from how uncomfortable they were, they irritated me worse than the autism that made me want to adjust my sleeve by half an inch in the first place.

I'm seriously considering remaking this mistake with sock garters nowadays though, because you can't cure stupid.
