I updated sweater and shoe lists to correct some links and add some extra brands in the sweater one.

>>14709127
Could you make a good list? Something like the sweater or shoe lists, which price range, links of where to get them and similars. The longer the better

>>14708835

European guide to trousers with a good rise.

0-100 euros
Yoox - Zanella, Iconotex, pt01. Look carefully at the pictures to get an idea of the rise. It's really hit and miss but thankfully Yoox handles returns free of charge.
Uniqlo - the vintage fit is the only acceptable chino from Uniqlo. Great casual option.
Levis - 501. Get a dark indigo.
John Simons chino

100-200 euros
Cordings Fits vary so you really must try them on first. Cords are fairly essential.
Natalino: a proper rise. My favourite option though the range is limited as its a new company.
Scavini: A french tailor. You can specify the hem length online. Four fits available. go for the s3 (single pleat).
New and Lingwood: Nice British brand. Their cords are my favourite. Wide range of bright colours.
Oliver Brown: Extensive collection of nice trousers.
Drop93 - The Armoury discount store. Nice selection of brands that are normally way too expensive.
Spencers trousers - British mtm trousers.
SimonJamesCathCart: very retro stylings, some trousers might be too wide for most. Reasonable prices (closer to 100) and sales. Pic related is on sale for 49 pounds.
Scott Fraser collection: See above.

300+
Drakes: High quality. Can be had for much less (around 100) at their factory shop in shoreditch or during the sales.
Berg and Berg: good quality, free returns. Trousers are quite slimfit despite having a good rise. I'm normally a 44/46 but even their 48 didn't fit me.
Cavour: Nice quality. Similar to Drakes.
Chester Barrie: Great quality but a limited selection.

Luxire is a mtm option with prices ranging to under 100 to 400.

>>14709241
Sorry, couldn't be fucked to put links. Google isn't hard though.

>>14709359
The best format is the fair isle sweater list one, with different brands for each type and pricing from low to high

>>14709359
>New and Lingwood
These are more than 250€ and reaching 425€ in some models

It's a beautiful day for once in Texas. Went to the park in a polo and some Chino shorts. What are some /prep/ sneakers to add to my fit? I was thinking of flyer low in white or the Sperry striper

waited 6 fucking years for high rise, I'm finally breathing. fuck low rise prole shit

>>14709477
If you're a prep purist, the best sneakers would be white Tretorn Nylites.

Anyone here ever go to Brown University?
Do people there still have that Ivy feel and look to them or is it just zoomers who can't dress running around now? I'm a 30 year old boomer looking to apply for a masters program there.

Are any of the Ivy's still preppy or is that a thing of the past?

>>14709470
Got any recommendations for Parisian shops?

>>14709536
I don't know about Brown specifically. But, I assume it'd be all Chinese hypebeasts and basic zoomers all virgin-walking around campus.

V neck or crew neck over a shirt without tie?

What brands/clothing truly separate Southern Prep for Northeastern Prep?

Floridafag here, I feel like everyone assumes ppl here wear Vines and Southern but in the more up-market areas I feel like Brooks and of course Ralph are also pretty common. I feel like wearing Patagonia would be death sentence down here as well.

>>14709603
Both are okay, its personal pref

>>14709523
Good rec. I'll add that to the list

>>14709608
People wear Patagonia in Alabama.

>>14709608
Because of heatstroke or just the brand? South is dominated by hot weather prep and north isn't. Just because of the seasonal difference. It's literally summer 9 months of the year in TX

I don't want to be a larper but I just love the look and feel of dressing prep. I feel most comfortable wearing an oxford with the sleeves rolled up and some chinos.
I'm not old money, in fact I'm not any money, just a broke university student trying to finish school as quickly as possible to get it over with. I'm not from the Northeast. There's nothing about me that's prep but I just love the style.
Can I wear this stuff or would I be seen as a larper/poser?

>>14709669
You're asking if you can wear chinos, button downs and blazers? Come on, get real bro.

>>14709669
Just wear a muted version of prep and it should be fine

w2c affordable over the calf socks in the EU?

>>14709536
None of the Ivys are very preppy anymore. I went to Yale and I dropped out of a PhD program at Columbia. Neither were very preppy. I've been on campus at Brown and Cornell and those weren't either. Dartmouth, from my brief time visiting a friend, had some people dressed in prep - but it was more of the frat douche sort. Princeton or Penn might be your best bets because they're still ridiculously elitist. Penn less so.

>>14709749
>affordable
Why don't you say the ammount of money you are willing to spend?

>>14709608
Southern prep seems to be heavy on Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, Southern Marsh, Duck Head, Sperry Top-Sider. And more summer oriented clothing

>>14709577
Is this you?

>>14709809

>>14709669
Are you asking 4chan for permission to wear clothing you like?

This is America, you can wear whatever the fuck you want. People will respect you more for being authentic and having your own style instead just wearing whatever's popular to fit in. Dress like you're heading to an early morning fall English Literature lecture at Yale in the 1970s and rock that look bro

>>14709523
How did Tretorn become prep anyway?

>>14709669
Prep/trad is like skater or goth or something in that the style is inherently going to be seen by average people as part of a subculture. Most people will just think you like to dress nice. Don't overthink it.

Where can I buy vintage LL bean or lands end shirts they’re my go to in the summer

(Besides thrift stores ofc)

Do Europoors not have a J.crew? I think those are way better than anything in the 0-100 tier. Honestly it's my go to chino because the fit is great for me and I don't need them tailored

>>14709854
Pls b in London

Why is slim fit frowned upon in this thread? I'm talking fitted and modern, not necessarily SKINNY FIT OR GO HOME. Is it in some handbook somewhere? I'm a scrawny motherfucker, so I generally prefer my pants to be a little slimmer. Don't see why that's a problem personally, surely /tip/ can evolve with the times.

>>14710155
>is it in some handbook somewhere
Cringe. No one takes that shit serious
> I'm a scrawny motherfucker, so I generally prefer my pants to be a little slimmer
Wearing slim fit shit with make you look slimmer. Have sex soi

>>14710144
J.crew is way over priced in Europe. Even ubiqlo chinos feel more substantial than that shit.

>>14710155
Because early experiments in sizing lead to poorly fitted garments, meaning many people just bought a "size x" because the sales clerk told them it was "their size" and wore it. They would then get photographed in some context, and however many decades later some Redditor who has a fedora collection argues that you simply CANNOT be TIP if you aren't effectively engaging in historical reenactment. After all, they didn't know shit about sizing then just as most people don't now, so you're not "authentic" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean) if you aren't flapping like a poorly hoisted sail.

>>14710155
Because Ivy is American and slim fit is just Americans buzz word for their attempt at using européenne cuts. The Ivy look is dated but classic American which is generous in its drape

Also Americans are 80% fat fucks so slim fit to them is just normal to Brits and Euro s

Not the other guy. You can find examples in OP (inspo albums) and in the Instagram list (last links of each category)

Anyone know where I can find high rise pants & good quality sweaters? I'm looking for non-classic types of sweaters, boat necks, loose fit etc.. but still good quality. I'm in Paris, internet is fine too.

>>14711347

You have that in a post and in a sweater list on OP, btw loose fit is actually classic.

I am really wet today because of rain, so I am not posting fit :( I wore olive chinos, light blue shirt, navy blouson and brown chelsea boots

Covince me why I would need any summer jacket but several harringtons in different colours, theyre amazing

>>14711464
yeah I saw your post the other day their single pleat is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm going this week. just looking for extra shops, particularly for sweaters

>>14711468
Summer jackets are cooler and Harringtons are sort of cringe if you overdo them.
>t. overdid them when I was younger

>>14711468
>Covince me why I would need any summer jacket but several harringtons in different colours, theyre amazing
Do you want to be the guy who wears an actual uniform? Nothing really wrong with comfort in the same clothes in diff colors. Just can get some odd looks after awhile from your peers, until you're just the uniform guy.
imo, it's only really acceptable if you're a year 30 old engineer, which is pretty plausible if you're on 4chan.

>>14710155
A suit properly tailored to you is fine. A suit that is pulling when buttoned is not, and looks cheap and too much like fast fashion. Let Fred Astaire (the 20th century's best dressed American) be your guide in good fits. Slightly trim is fine (especially if you're in black tie), but you need to have room to move.

I got a super warm shaggy dog sweater at jinji near odeon. 160 euros though. Super good quality though. Their other stuff is good too though more workwear than prep.

What is the best resource on the theory - so to say - of TIP clothing? Something that would help understand matching patterns and colors more comprehensively that just consulting inspo.

>>14711707
I don't think there is something specific for /tip/, because that is general for all styles. Just don't wear too many fabrics at the same time and max 1 patterns (2 if they aren't loud), for example, dont wear a gingham shirt with a prince of wales pants.

And the other thing is just colour theory

>>14711688
Yeah you can.
Ineas mean

>>14711771
They don't make shetlands from what I'm seeing. Shetland is it's own thing in quality terms, since the material is limiting.

>>14711579
why would that be a uniform? If is gonna wear different stuff everyday

>>14711605
>>14711641
Houndstooth is great on women, you have a decent collection, you should go for some plain colour sweaters too.

>>14711609
What do you mean?

>>14711688
Of course you can, but you'll need to pay more. Any sweater between 70 to 200€ will do its job greatly. Above that, it is just a matter of design or softness if you want cashmere.

KJP landscape pics are max comfiness

>>14709536
Brown has a weird mix of Asian hypebeast and crunchy hippie sjw. For the Ivy style, places like Colby or Bowdoin are probably closest to it. And Dartmouth. But all of those will be more like fratstar prep. I don't know of any school where trad is the overriding look.

Depends on the occasion. In a casual setting, it can be a go to hell thing that adds a dash of casual sportiness to your outfit, but in a more formal setting, it can seem insulting, like you aren't taking the occasion seriously.

>>14712911
White tee/grey tee with black activewear shorts, ankle socks, whatever shoe.

How trad is this jacket?

>>14709228
I have just realized that there is no dark academia thread active, anymore, nor are there any in the archive. Now, it seems as though /fa/ has matured, once again. Some of the DA stuff posted was legitimately good, yet also legitimately ivy, trad, or prep. It basically already existed as a convention, and so many of the trend hoppers did not even have an awareness of it, but hopefully, they have learned about the kinds of things we post about here.

>I'm starting to regret hating Dark Academia. It really wasn't that bad.
The only thing bad about it was the intellectual vibe some were forcing, the clothing itself is actually what you have here but with darker colours including black and some items such as Doc Martens/Solovair footwear. It was something different to the sneakers, ninja, sweatpants, ultracasual rubbish that usually gets posted in this board.

Thanks. I had that jacket made earlier this year and I've been digging the trad aesthetic as of late. So far I know 3/2 rolls are a staple of the look. Any pointers on what else to capture the look for later projects?

>>14713884
Goofy name or not, at least prep was being talked about throughout the board, instead of just in these dying generals.

>>14714082
Just avoid extremely structured or slim jackets . Also, try to get 100% wool or 100% Linen/Cotton or mix of those. Lapels shouldn't be too thin

>>14712947
I have a roadmaster gold edition. The gold editions are considerably higher quality than barbour - thicker cloth, etc. I don't wear it atm, cause i'm not a big fan of the short helmet friendly collar, but i used it for 10 years, and it's much less beat up than the 4 yo bedale i mostly wear now.

actual WASP from an ivy league family here.

don't bother trying to dress this way if you're
>not white
>live in an urban setting, or uber-suburb setting like long island
you will just look ridiculous. if you go to the mall dressed like this people will laugh at you

this style looks best if you're in the countryside, because those are its british roots. if you want to see how the country gentry dressed that inspired this, watch some episodes of Poirot. it was taken up by educated middle class families in new england who lived in upscale rural enclaves. this should be obvious that most of the ivy league universities are in rural settings, though after they've become so commercial in the past few decades that's changing, as is the fact that white males don't go to them anymore.

i live in the french countryside, and have lived in the english, and this style is still very common among older people who are unabashedly bourgeois

What's the traddest thing to wear jogging? I wear a tracksuit currently, but I'm worried about looking like a dumb greaseball wop, even though I only wear it when I'm actually jogging.

Is it normal to find that penny loafers go well with nearly every fit I wear?

I mean, it's likely that your average Andover student from 60 years ago wore loafers to school almost every day, but I wonder if there are any other informal shoe choices that are /tip/.

>>14715447

Cringe

due to crippling depression, my physical fatness has skyrocketed over the last few years. i'm talking about 50+ lbs of just physical fucking fatness.

needless to say, my suits don't fit. i can get them on and can almost button them (can button them if i suck in). i have a job fair coming up tomorrow and i'm wondering if 1. i can wear the suit jacket and 2. if i can wear it with some gray pants, a white shirt, and a black tie (the pants are too small for my fat ass) without looking like a total moron at a job fair.

>>14716142

Your feet look so big in comparison. Good fit as usual.

>>14716164
Angulation fucks up a lot the proportions, because phone cameras are shitty and you put the lens close to your head, so proportions fuck up from a bit above the waist to the floor. Narrow mirrors make you look slimmer and wider mirrors make you look fatter.

>>14716142
I dislike the polo shirt, I think it doesn't work there, even a black t-shirt would work better. The rest of the fit is good.

>>14716138
That looks really nice! Oxfords are the most prep.

Also, mirror can't be narrow, it should be wider than your shoulders to avoid horizontal distortion

Dark Academia is a reminder that the academic world these days is largely for cargo culting plebs who get scammed into lifelong indebted servitude

>>14715971
Nailed it. I think a lot of posters would be better served on /soc/ or Reddit. Threads here should be an honest and somewhat objective attempt at style discussion not poser bullocks. This is an anonymous message board. I don't give a damn about your social situation, I only care about the clothes you're wearing.

>>14716975
maybe the people that push the label, but the style is already fairly normal with collegiates.
the people that look like this are usually not plebs. Upper middle class ivy league bro and complit heiress frens of mine look like this.

How’s banana republic shit? Been looking for a source of sweaters and they seem to be the only one with nonretarded colors or giant logos on them

>>14717343
>Banana republic
You can get Alan Paine for 65€ on sale or Barbour for 50-60€. Look at the sweater list from OP and check the first brands un each section, you'll find 100% wool sweaters for less than 70€

>>14717343
BR is ok. Overpriced though. The good thing is that they constantly have 44 percent off of their site. Same with gap too.

Just copped

Thanks for the advice friends
I think this is the beginning of something beautiful.

This is really bad, seriously. The top part is aiming in a formal direction and under the waist is full casual.

The jacket is long on the slevees, the tie knot seems too tight, waistcoat is for full suits, the coat doesn't fit with the above, slim fit jeans with blazer is retarded and even more with waistcoat

>>14718313
The contrast in formality between top and bottom wouldn't be quite so bad if your jacket was less structured and you weren't wearing a waistcoat. Right now I can't figure out if you're supposed to be at a wedding or at the ranch. Jeans and blazer+tie IS possible but you've got to really tone down the blazer wearing top-half.

Benton.down does a really good job of doing this. Check him out.

Yeah, looks like moisture damage, although too low res to tell whether that's mold along the rim. Dry your shoes out, not in too much heat but dry them, make sure you've got them on shoe trees, and store them somewhere dry.

>>14711256
There is a book called 'Seven Sisters Style' that has what you are looking for.

I forgot to take the pic before, I was wearing navy ocbd, tan chinos, timberland chukka adventure and khaki harrington. As frag: Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne

How are they? Is it a "true" corduroy or is it tabby back? Their grey one on sale looks pretty nice.

>>14709228
Yay or

>>14719903
If it's 100% wool yes

>>14719920
Just says lambwool

>>14719808
I have the grey cords from Natalino and they are great. To my eye it looks like a twill weave but I can't be certain. The cut is excellent - high-rise, nice amount of room in the thighs and a good taper. They fit really well. Sturdy midwale cord lined to the knees.
The only problem could be the lack of belt loops. Side adjusters mean you can change the waistband quite a bit. If you want to wear them with braces you'll need to add buttons yourself because they have a fishtail back but nowhere to attach the braces.
Fit is true to your actual waist size not vanity sizings.

>>14719942
My only issue is that the taper is a bit too much.

>>14719935
100% lambswool or simply lambswool -> 100% wool.

Get it then :)

>>14719950
Maybe get some Cordings cords and have a tailor taper them to your own specs? Very hard to find decent trousers these days. Old Town Clothing do archive styles but it's mostly flat fronted and workwear inspired, but the quality looks pretty good and they have proper rises with fishtail backs etc. Oldfield Clothing's trousers look like they're for re-enactors.

>>14719950
Oliver Spencer has some good pleated-front cords in this season, not in his usual trouser style. I have them in black and they are baggier and less tapered than Natalino.

These bad boys on left have been with me for 7 years and the pair(J.crewCollab) on the right for a year. I barley noticed the the sole yesterday. I’ve literally only walked in these. Is j.crew to blame for the poor craftsmanship?

>>14720046
Nah, Sperry have been pretty poor for at least a decade. Surprised yours lasted so long.

>>14720046
Are they the same model? It can vary. Also gold cup holds up better for me so it's worth the price. I used to destroy one pair in a year but the primo ones hold up for around 4 to 5

>>14720059
It is pretty surprising. I’ve used the old ones for sports and in harsh weather.
>>14720067
They’re both “authentic originals”. Unfortunately the quality is going down.

Time to switch to Quoddy?

>>14720097
sounds like j crew is the problem. Quoddy seems worth a try. I think Rancourt does them too. GL Homie

>>14720108

Merino wool is superior at Middle temperatures and lambswool/pure new wool/geelong are better at Cold temperatures

>>14720111
Wouldn't surprise me at all if the J.Crew ones were of lesser quality somehow.

I'm moving away from J.Crew in general now -- too much emphasis on "stretch" shit and other nu fast fashion.
