Nothing if the weather is not cold

>>14720111
They are still made by Sperry, but probably they use worse stuff. You might have had bad luck too

>>14720870

everyone posting below me is a faggot larper

>>14720882
I’m not because I went to a prep school and both my parents are teacher/administrator for a prep school :)

Do you usually see men wearing Prince of Wales or Houndstooth pants?

>>14720870
Based. Fuck reddit.

>>14720755
Cotton sweaters are better for layering and drape way better than pure wool.
Wool sweater are warmer and provide better looking earthy/natural textures.
You need to own both.

>>14720882
implying fashion is not about being a faggot larper

It needs to be sale already, i want to buy shit

>>14721092
Black Friday is soon

>>14721092
I almost never buy anything on sale. Everything I actually waited for is either out of stock or never on sale to begin with. Sales are just trash that the shops struggle to sell during the year. Quality brands'don't have sales.

>>14721113
European boutiques usually have permanent sales in the form of an outlet, though. They are quite nice too.

>>14721113
Can't think of a single brand that doesn't have a sale

Wtf, barbour jackets are cheap as fuck. Always tought they would be like 400 or something.
But Bedale or Beaufort? I'm tall so I suppose a Beaufort would be better but I prefer the look of the bedale

>>14721125
They are around 400 in many places, but if you buy them at UK sites you can get them for 190-250

>>14721119
Meermin, Carmina, Tallsem

>>14721112
when is it?

>>14721074
wool drape is awesome, the thicker the wool, the better.

Today's outfit: green parka I use for rainy days/skying, university stripe ocbd, navy chinos, braided belt and chelsea boots

Went to a charity event last night

>>14721365
nice fit man

>>14721365
>>14721226
Good. What are the shoes in the first one?

>>14721240
Is the red sweater in this pic tucked or tailored? All of my sweaters drape below my belt line, his looks just right.

>>14721428
he rolled the lowest part of the sweater to the inside

>>14721538
Odd. I feel like it would u roll constantly, that's just for the photo then?

>>14721428
it looks like the bottom hem of the sweater rode up on his torso a bit and the body of the sweater is hanging down slightly farther. Happens to me sometimes

>>14721226
I think a thicker shirt might be a better call here, maybe its just me but it seems too thin compared to the occasion your chelseas/parka are implying. Otherwise nice job.

>>14721554
It's a photo from a Drake's catalog, so yeah

>>14721588
It's a normal OCBD, not thin and not thick. In a month or less I'll be wearing a sweater too

>>14720870

Nice, wtc parka?

>>14721607
>Wtc parka
I bought it years ago at El Corte Inglés, so it won't be available now :(

>>14721636
Damn, I've got a surplus one but it's more Yeezy than prep

>>14720878
Yes, that is indeed a picture of the average redditor. Good post.

>>14720937
Nobody wears GTH pants here as the guy in the right

3-4 of these fits are actually acceptable:
https://imgur.com/a/sJeFlwq

>>14721365
Nice fit but the tie is too skinny for your shirt collar & lapels. Ideally your blazer lapels, length of collar point and tie at its widest point should be within .25" of each other. That's why in the 70s with massive collars people wore huge kipper ties.

>>14721245
damn prince harry's dad looking sharp

>>14721887
I think with a crunchy knit tie (which is the only time you should have a 'skinny' tie anyway) it's ok for it to be narrower but otherwise yeah

>used my new blazer today. Paired with a prince of whales blue shirt and a polka-dot red tie
>khaki chinos. Ill fitting, from when i was 20kg heavier

Life is good.

>>14721928
post fit

>>14721640
barbour makes similar ones

>>14721940

>>14721125
try on both. the bedale has ribbed cuff liners which i do not like while the beaufort had velcro storm flaps which i cut out of mine. i went black beaufort and have no regrets. i think its the original model too. it also has the game pouch zippers on the back which might not seem terribly practical since you don't really carry around dead birds anymore, but I've kept papers or put items too big for a pocket in the game pouch during cold winter days so i could keep my hands in the warm lined pockets and not carrying things. pretty clutch when you need it.

>>14721998
lmao

>>14722005
What's wrong with my fit, anon?
Other than the glaring issues with the pants and the shoes. And that the shirt is sort garbage, but you can't see.

>>14722012
Nothing fits

>>14722018
Only really the pants. It is supposed to be a higher rise, so it is screwing up the lenght of the jacket. The jacket looks messy at the chest, but i think that may have something to do with the camera lenses.

>>14721365
Great fit lad, fix your hair.

>>14721998
yeah, this is bait.

gonna go ahead and post some oc

W2c a quality varsity jacket?

>>14722055

what colour sweater for brown cords

>>14722055
what brand duffle? nice fit

>>14722104
Green or Red. Shades will vary.

>>14722104
Most colors work, blue, burgundy, most shades of grey depending on the brown, british racing green and beige especially.

>>14722109
I'm afraid I can't help you. It's from a local shop that has since closed down.

>>14722104
Blue is the complementary. Green, Orange, Grey and Red are also good options

>natalino trousers on sale are my size
>but only on the short inseam
Fucking hell. My inseam is '33, so even the regular one would be a little big.

brooks brothers slim fit chinos fit me like straight fit pants but ralph lauren slim fit chinos are more like a skinny fit and suck dick?

what gives and what the hell fit should I be getting when I don't like too much slack in my pants but I refuse to wear that tight fitted bullshit?

>>14722231
I have found the BB "golden fleece" trouser fits are not as slim as the boomers in the product reviews always complain.
I think it is really nice, a very slight tapering but not actually slim. Not baggy. I think it's the same as the Regent, someone may be able to confirm

>>14722231
Buy the brooks brothers ones and get them tailored for like 10 dollars

is there any way to wear a v-neck sweater with a regular undershirt instead of a collared shirt and not look like a tool?

>>14722231
I wear BB Slim fit pants and people here tell me they are skinny fit lol

>>14722270

Of course. Just spend a little more on good tshirts that are form fitting. Also you need to be at least a little fit

>>14722296

Brooks Brothers Milano/slim fit pants are my absolute favorite. From what I've seen, they're basically equivalent to a straight fit in any other brand. So not even a true slim fit imo

probably their best fit if you're not a fat ass and want a nice modern looking fit

>>14722306
with my ocbd's I always wear solid blue, solid white, or college stripe blue or grey. What color should the t-shirts be? Does white work with any sweater color?

>>14722055
French anon? Looks good. If you wear a tie+jumper think about getting a fairisle vneck

Thoughts on black clothes? Not shoes but sweaters, blazers, sport coats, chinos, etc.

I have a brass button black blazer and some chinos and sweaters that I never wear because I don't know what they'd go with. Thought about paring the chinos with a white oxford but it just looks weird to me

I guess my blazer would go ok with some grey trousers but I just feel weird wearing something black that isn't shoes or an overcoat

>>14722340
/Tip/pers usually wear black for funerals. Not saying it ain't possible but it's definitely not standard /tip/. The exception of course is black Gucci horsebit loafers.

>>14722368
what about a black polo shirt

>>14722318
Nope, eastern on the mediterranean. Thanks for the recommendation but I'm still too young for a fair isle, it would look too larpy.

>>14722340

Always go for navy when you feel like you need something in black. You'll either look like a waiter (chinos and white shirt), or like you're going to a funeral or play in an orchestra (black blazer and whatever).
This doesn't hold up when you're im heavy crime. When you're in heavy crime you can wear as much black as you want.

>>14722340
What >>14722396 said, but i would also add charcoal alongside navy and midnight blue. Black menswear is just not elegant and should only be used on those specific locations.
>funerals
You can get away with charcoal, even.

slim fit is fine, get over it

>>14721074
I live in the south where it basically never gets cold enough to justify owning a lot of wool clothes but you can comfortably wear cotton sweaters for most of the year so I mostly stick with cotton

>>14722625
not really, classic fit gives such a better drape and silhouette

>>14722641
This

>>14722641
totally depends on the slim fit you're talking about, depends on the brand. BB slim fit is great

>>14722648
This is true as well. Most of the mall tier trash brands that people flaunt in this thread as TIP looks like rubbish in slim fit
On a side note, bought this brioni jumper, absolutely love it

>>14721885
Is that a moleskin jacket?

>>14722473
My whole point was that the Golden Fleece is not actually slim. Milano is slim.

>>14721998
This is the epitome of great idea horrible execution

>>14722380
Check out Jamieson's or Jcrew, they have some bright colour ones. Those are easy to wear if you are young. Greek or Turk?

>>14721885
Oh shut the fuck up. You aren’t the Authority on prep

>>14721226
Those boots look like they cost $50 at Payless Discount Shoes

>>14721885
What the fuck did I just look at?
>>14723405
Hello r*ddit

>>14722312
this. milano fit cords are even a bit roomey.
>>14722340
i know it's frowned upon in here, but i occasionally wear black BB milano fit chinos or a black BB supima knit. A black lacoste polo also works well for clubbing.

>>14720868
>literal r*ddit link in OP
fucking faggots

>>14723525
> A black lacoste polo also works well for clubbing
The ultimate clubbing item is a grey aran sweater or cableknit, trust me.

>>14723587
i tend to get sweaty, if i wear knit while gatoring.

>>14723594
Bitches instantaneously look at your mighty sweater and want dick.

>>14723607
i really love wearing cable knit. i could just toss it over my shoulder, i suppose. i'm that kind of guy.

also, vibe check:

Is it super important for a shoe tree to go all the way to the front of a shoe, IE touch the toe, or does it just need to fill the vamp? I just bought some new shoe trees and I realize they don't touch my toe, but I read they don't need to

Decent bait, but too obvious.

>>14723364
You're right, JCrew has some nice designs in grey and cream. Greek by the way.

>>14724537
I am not joking, my chelsea boots get a lot of love from people I know. Most just boat shoes or sneakers, so this gives an impact.

>>14724580
This bait is getting boring. If you are actually being serious, please stop mixing wokstar/SEXcore shit with prep. It just doesn't work.

>>14724586
What should I wear? Tassel loafers, penny loafers, doublemonks, chelsea boots and boots in general, sneakers and others are used by SEXcorers

They also use shirts and sweaters, please help me. How can I avoid looking like a SEXcorer?

>>14724537
oops I didn't know we were only talking about prep pieces. In that case, it'd be a needlepoint belt
>>14724586
why so upset

>>14724629

Do you know what thread you're in?

Not upset, just having a laugh at your idiocy.

>>14724599
Acting like a retard isn't as amusing as you think it is. If you are seriously, unironically, too fucking stupid to tell the difference between sexcore and prep, I will tell you. Don't wear slimshit, don't wear ripped jeans, dont wear chelsea boots or any other fuckboi boots. Penny and tassel loafers are prep, a few SEXfags might wear them, but they are still associated with prep more than they are associated with sexcore, unlike chelsea boots, which are quintessential sexcore footwear.

>>14724645
>which are quintessential sexcore footwear
for you american

>>14724637
Out of town for the weekend. Its just a university motif, I gets a lot of love at tailgates. Cashmere sweaters get a lot of attention too, people love how soft they are
>>14724645
good b8

>>14724670
>Cashmere sweaters get a lot of attention too, people love how soft they are
But those aren't catchy visually. They are just normal looking sweaters

>>14724393
No not important.

>>14724653
Yes. Are you eurotrash?
>>14724670
>the truth is bait

why does this thread always exist. like, it seems like there is always a prep thread on /fa/

>>14720870
Fpbp
>>14722340
I don't think there is ever a time to wear black instead of navy

>>14724849
Preppy is the best look that's why

Most prep music? I like the Beatles and The Beach Boys, but who else?

>>14724849
It's a general. Like the fragrance general. People continue the thread because it is a recurring topic.

>>14724874
Yacht rock is the preppiest genre.

>>14722340
While it is not canonically /TIP/, black can be alright in moderation. For example pairing black chinos with a blue oxford and a red or navy sweater, or a black turtleneck with grey flannels is fine. Just avoid the black-white combo that looks weird in most cases.

>>14724366
Standard fit Oxford from the gap strangely enough. I get more compliments on that one than my BB oxford. Second most is a yellow blue white fisherman raincoat
>>14724849
People like prep I guess

>>14721125
bought a bedale for 45 euros at a thrift because my beaufort at a party because i'm a student and a shitty human being in general. Thing is barbours are pretty durable so even though the bedale was old i could just fix it up and rewax it and it's like new.

>>14725096
lost* my beaufort is what i meant

fashion pleb here that pretty much wears polo shirts, plain t-shirts and baggy khakis year round

can somebody explain to me what is the difference between the fabrics lambswool, cashmere, merino, alpaca, shetland, etc? what are the point of the wool blends and cotton blends?

I want to get some sweaters this year but i dont know what to get for what weather or season or whatever

>>14725137
Tldr:
Alpaca:meme
Cashmere: nice but cheap cashmere isnt worth it
Merino: imo also a meme, looks like cotton so why not just by a cotton sweater (unless of course you like that thin sweater look)
Lambswool: technically a lot of these are lambswool but when something is denoted as just 'lambswool' they probably mean that it's somewhat rougher or thicker wool
Shetland: wool from shetland sheeps. Imo this wool creates the best sweater texture and is also very warm and durable

>>14724849
Just people who want to dress like an adult.

>>14722099
w2c that sweater? What is that pattern called?

>>14721999
>you don't really carry around dead birds anymore
Speak for yourself.

That said you're not wrong that the poacher's pockets are extremely useful for other stuff too.

>>14725151
>cheap cashmere isnt worth it
what counts as cheap cashmere
>Merino: imo also a meme,
idk i figured it would be a lot warmer than cotton


who makes good shetland wool sweaters?

Thoughts on M&S?

>>14725151
merino and cotton is pretty different tho, if you're going cheap buy cotton for sure but merino is smart and loads warmer desu

>>14725212
dunno smartwool is shit, RL is good shit in sale

Anyone got any inspo/advise for how to style a fair isle? I'm looking at Jamieson's and some of them are pretty "loud."

>>14725244
buy one that isn't loud

>>14725212
Yeah merino is def a lot warmer than cotton. Just not my thing
>shetland
Jamieson of shetland, harley of scotland, j.press

>>14725235
Cheap, third world Crud that burnt all its bridges with all its loyal customers years ago. Also was responsible for the downfall of brooks brothers during the 90s.

>>14725239
Ralph Lauren? Good? Bah.

>>14725281
[Desire to know more intensifies]

How the fuck do I buy Crockett and Jones shoes if stores in my country don't carry the model I want and I can't fly to England?

>>14725351
nvm im dumb

The Bedale fits really small, ‘t hi s is a 42

>>14725389
nice boots what are they? Looks like cordovan

>>14725389
I don't think this really works unless you're deliberately trying to dress in the way a lot of women dress, with the skinny pants tucked into boots, and the jacket that falls right below the hip. If you had a belted barbour like the international it would still be "feminine" but in a more sharp/stylish YSL type way. The barbour jackets with more relaxed cuts and lower bottoms don't work with overly slim fits, unless the layering is done right, otherwise it creates a weird silhouette thats not flattering.

It’s the time of the year for thrift shopping, lads. Which of these Patagonia pullovers should I buy

>>14725389
>black skinny jeans
>those boots
Please be bait.

>>14725433
Bottom and top very right looks good. So does the one 2nd to the left on top, but that's just me. If anything the bottom right most one is clean and inoffensive, so it would be easy to throw on to most stuff.

What is your favourite plain toe derby?
So far I checked a lot of brands but Crockett and Jones Lanark III is the only one I can find that doesn't have the combo of too pointy or too chunky/not chunky enough sole.

>This thread has 152 replies
>The dork fagamemia thread has 248
What went wrong?

>>14725474
"dark academia" is just ivy style that by coincidence lines up with a lot of mainstream trends this season, for example, shades of brown and green, turtlenecks, patterns like houndstooth and checks, pleated pants, etc. It's just a partially coincidental convergence of a lot of trends.

>>14725389
Those legs don't go well with a big chunky outdoors jacket.

>>14725212
merino is very soft and sweat absorbant, so it makes for a good sweater over your shoulders, for a cool summer night, or as a layer in winter. Excellent for underwear if you're going skieng.

>>14721113
sales are a scam, since they are making most of their bucks during sales companies are inflating the price of their clothes all year round

>>14726028
this is true, but also why you should stack up your basics during sale only.

Anything wrong with short-sleeve ocbds or short-sleeve shirts in general? P.S. I live in a hot country.

>>14726097
not if hot weather.

>>14725886
I do own skinny-relaxed jeans. They are very minimally baggy but would even that outfit out better right?

>>14726232
OK I SEE THE POINT OF THE OCBD NOW, IT LETS YOU WEAR A DRESS SHIRT WITHOUT A TIE< IF THERE WAS A TIE IT WOULD HOLD THE COLLAR UP< NO TIE SO YOU NEED BUTTONS >

>>14726250
the original point of the button down collars was so that the collar wouldnt flap in the face of polo players when playing
you know a collar doesnt need to be held up or something, i wear all kinds of shirt collars personally

>>14725244
Take a look at Michael Ross Knitwear for non loud fair isle sweaters, they have lots of patterns and colours and with similar pricing to Jamieson's, which usually has louder colours

>>14726097
No in that case, but rolling sleeves is better

Are cigarettes /trad/?

>>14726623
Cigarettes are an unhealthy vice that everyone should avoid. But, they give you a nostalgic appearance, which is all that faggots in this thread care about anyway.

>>14725389
Too big. Fits more like a Beaufort than a bedale

That's exactly why I'm buying these. The cheaper options like Meermin etc. have either 1. pointy to box or 2. grain leather.

>>14725244
I wore today a Jamieson's fair isle, it works well with nearly anything: navy chinos or jeans, olive chinos, khaki chinos, tan chinos...

>>14728983

The knit looks far too long in my opinion, you should fold it in the hem a couple of times so that the proportions work. Now your upper body looks very unbalanced compared to your lower body.

Pic is what I wore today. Herrainpukimo MTM trousers made of VBC flannel, Harley's of Scotland shetland sweater, Crockett and Jones Ashdown derbies and Lopez Aragon overcoat. I really wish the coat was 10cm longer, but there isn't sadly much I can do about that.

>>14729014
It's in the correct range of length

>>14729117
No, it is not. It is because your trousers have a rise that is, frankly, 10cm too low that you think it is "correct length". It is very obviously too long, making your upper body look massive and your legs tiny, which is not a good silhouette. The trousers should sit at your natural waist and the sweater should come just over the waistband of the trousers. That way, your legs look longer and more attractive, you get a dramatic V taper from your shoulders to the natural waist, and it all just looks more put together.

Here is an example of a nice fitting sweater coupled with good trousers. Notice the difference?

>>14729173
You're trolling right?

>>14729173
My legs are long, if the sweater is too short, they'll become even longer, and with slim fit pants even more.

That thing from the photo doesn't look good at all

>>14729173
This is bait right?

>>14729181

What? No, I am not trolling.

>>14729226

1) Then maybe don't wear so slim fit pants 2) so your answer to that is wearing stupidly low rise trousers and long sweaters that make your upper body look comically long relative to your legs? That is so smart, wow! Why not embrace the fact that you have long legs, which is a very good thing in terms of traditional wear? It looks much better than having a long torso.

As for the photo not looking good, lol. The sweater fits perfectly, as do the fuller-cut chinos. Very traditional, 40's style wear that is perfectly coherent. The deck sneakers are a nod to the military connotations of the chinos. I personally would wear something like longwings or PTB's with that fit, but the sneakers aren' bad either. What is your gripe with the fit?

Posting some other great fittting sweater / trouser combinations since it seems like nobody here has any idea of traditional wear.

>>14729226
>slim fit pants

There’s your problem

>>14729283
> The sweater fits perfectly
It fits so perfectly that is full of wrinkles because the sizing is shit, the sleeves are also short. Such a short torso makes him look like a manlet with some disproportionate legs. If he puts on that jacket, he'll look like shit because he picked the same colour for top and bottom and he is not wearing a suit. Sneakers are cringe tier

>>14720937
This is pretty based...

>>14729283
This is some hardcore crap

>>14729346

The sleeves are full of wrinkles because it's a lambswool sweater that gets wrinkly when you wear the sweater. I am wearing a perfectly fitting sweater right now that is wrinkled at the elbow because I wore it.
He has rolled the sleeves at the cuff to show some of the shirt cuff, because with a sweater on, your shirt sleeves will be a bit shorter since the sweater sleeve catches some of the fabric on the way down. If he would want to, the sleeves would be longer, but then you wouldn't see the shirt cuffs.
And obviously he wouldn't put a jacket on there... That's just grasping at the straws. A crickett sweater would look like shit because you could throw a denim jkacket on and that would look totally off? As for the similar colours, it's called tonal wear and has been quite popular in recent years. Look at Saman Amel, for example, one of ythe leading menswear ateliers in the world.

I jus noticed that you meant the second picture instead of the first. As for its sleeve wrinkles, it's obviously from the fact that the sleeve is twisted relative to the shir underneath, which makes it pll. He could adjust that in seconds. Your sweater sleeves usually get pulled and twisted if you do something with them on over the day. It isn't related to the fit in any way!

As for the proportions, you are just wrong there. Long legs won't make you look like a manlet, they elongenate you and make you look taller. See Clark Gable in It Happened One Night, looks much taller than he usually does, and really jacked despite having no shoulders at all. That's the power of high waist, short vest.

What makes the model seem a bit shorter in the pic are those full cut pleated chinos, but I think they look really good and period appropriate.

>>14729366
Forgot to add pic of Clark.

>>14729366
It is just too bad, he can't make the sleeves longer, they are just short and the thing wrinkles a lot.

>>14729396

Did you even read what I wrote? THE SLEEVE CUFFS ARE ROLLED ONCE. He could make the sleeves 7cm longer if he wished. Traditionally sweaters have these cuffs you turn around.

As for the body, he could adjust it not to be wrinkly by pulling on the hem, but that wasn't clearly the point of the photoshoot.

>>14727660
These are nice. I hope you know that Meermin does a similar shoe in shell cordovan for less on their MTO from time to time, though.

>>14729181
>>14729279
It's TRAD, you morons.
NAYRT but if you don't understand or even want a high-rise silhouette, why are you here?

Whaddup pencilnecks, been to the gym this morning and now I’m sporting these jumbo fit cords that I decided to share with you.

>>14729473
Shell cordovan isn't necessarily always a better choice than calf leather. Also meermin QC kind of sucks. I'd rather go loake 1880 before meermin.

>>14729484
Nice, are those the Darcy gold cords? I have the brown/tan ones myself, really like them. Had them hemmed with a turn-up though.

>>14729485
>Shell cordovan isn't necessarily always a better choice than calf leather.
That's fair.

>Loake 1880 QC is better than Meermin
This is absurd though. I won't even deny that the Meermin QC is hardly Crockett-tier, that's what you get when you pay for the budget option. But worse than Loake? Come the fuck on my dude. Check out Meermin's Ebay seconds, some of those rejected pairs just have a scuff on the sole, shit that'll be gone anyway in three wears.

>>14729498
Loake 1880. I'm not talking about their cheapo stuff.

>>14729484

Nice looking cords, looks to be a proper width at the hem. Which boots are those?

>>14729485
>Comparing a 300-350€ shoe vs a 180-200€ one

>>14729484
Where can I get cords of this colour with a decent rise? Cordings don't have it.

>>14729545

Made to measure, costs around 150€ with Luxire and 200-300€ at European companies.

Oldfield also used to have some very similar ones except belted instead of braced, but they seem to be shitting all over themselves at the moment, only producing canvas beach trousers. I don't know what their problem is.

>>14729283
You're absolutely correct, don't let these idiots fool you. High rise on the trousers and shorter lenght on the sweater is ideal and proportionally superb.

>>14729558
Thanks but braces are pretty memey unless used with suiting. Something casual like cords would be better with a belt imo.

Hello Ethan M. Wong

Sweater length is personal preference...

>>14729475
I think a lot of people are here because we all like good quality things this general the only place anyone talks more technical about clothes ...

>>14729650
That's fine, but you can see that you're a guest here compared to people who actually like trad, ivy and prep styles and shouldn't bitch about stuff like getting told a proper trad silhouette, right? The context is a guy getting accused of trolling for being 100% correct about a significant point of trad style, which is *absurd* in the trad thread. It's like getting mad that the Prep Jihadi denounces darts, it makes no sense.

>>14729679
I can see that. I do agree with your whole post, it’s necessary to constantly hammer home the fundamentals of TIP classic silhouettes. Because it’s like learning Law or Tax, you need the general principles and rules. And knowing the history behind it. I’m bedale anon,

>>14729491
No, these are some basic Charles Tyrwhitt cords that I paid about £50 for as far as I remember.
>>14729512
Ye, they're definitely of /trad/ sizing and nice fabric. Boots are my good old Clarks, they were maybe another £50.
>>14729545
>>14729547
I don't have anything close to that budget as I'm student (and even if I had, I'd rather spend it on another term in my boxing gym. You can get a lot of good basics on CT/TM Lewin sales.

>>14729637
Ethan has great insight about clothes and style, and his articles are always a pleasure to read. Don't really care for the guy's personality, but he really knows what he's talking about in clothes.

>>14729679
Thanks for the support, it does seem absurd. I guess I've just hanged around too much in SF, but man does it feel strange that you have to really argue for things that are basically "canon" in other trad forums. I really feel like even MFA has a much stronger trad/ivy community than /fa/.

>>14729679
I think of you guys as basically Christian Fundamentalists, extreme, but necessary. You serve a purpose. It's the very nature of TIP: the lines and cuts don't change. That's the whole point of it. It's not about whether this is subjectively too long or short according to an individual's subjevtive style strategy.

The essence of TIP is its immutability

I wish thrift stores in my area were any good.
Some vintage Polo, Brooks Brothers (and also Land's End and LL Bean) pieces are nice as fuck but that shit just isn't here where I live

Oh, not bad! Maybe I need to check the Tyrwhitt store after all.

>You can get a lot of good basics on CT/TM Lewin sales.
This is true. On thing I've noticed in particular is they often have one or two good ties/pochettes even though most of each season is garbage with awful colors, and eventually you can always get that good one on sale.

>>14729719
>Because it’s like learning Law or Tax, you need the general principles and rules.
Exactly. Know the rules, *then* break the rules.

>>14729729
Anonymity and teenagers add up to a certain level of inevitable shitposting, unfortunately. The flip side is it's much easer to be honest and direct here, without having to play a bunch of forum prestige games. MFA's consistently terrible fit posts being a case in point.

>>14729752
>I think of you guys as basically Christian Fundamentalists
Ha!

>It's the very nature of TIP: the lines and cuts don't change. That's the whole point of it. It's not about whether this is subjectively too long or short according to an individual's subjective style strategy.
Yes, exactly. Nobody's going to stab you for wearing a fairisle that's too long by trad standards, it'll just get pointed out. It's rare that I even see anyone here sperg out if the fitposter says "yeah, I know, but I like it" or "oh, I see, but this is the one I have, so it'll have to do. Do you think I should tuck it?" or anything else along those lines.

>went out drinking last friday
>wore what I consider to be casual wear
>close fitting, non-pleated/creased burgundy chinos
>dogtooth pink dress shirt with sleeves rolled up and top two buttons undone
>plain (non-tassled etc) tan/brown loafers
>asked by numerous people if I'd just left work

Is this too formal for casual occasions or do people just have shit taste? I wouldn't go to work dressed like that unless it was friday.

>>14729966
Saying that that fair isle is long is fucking ridiculous, it has the correct lenght unless you are a 30s LARPer. At sizing there are some basics

>>14729978
1. People have shit taste
2. Things are going too casual extremely fast, now nearly everyone dresses the same:

Pick 1 from here:
>Parka
>Bomber

Pick 1 from here:
>T-shirt
>Sweatshirt
>Hoodie

Pick 1 from here
>ripped jeans
>skinny fit jeans

Pick your sneaker

Apply these colours to the above items:
>white
>black
>blue
>grey

You'll have the 80% of people under 35 years old wearing any of those combos.

Well, now that Old Hat was kill things aren't as good as they used to be, but you've still got Hornets in High Ken, a couple-few guys with stalls in the Portobello Road Market (yeah, I know, I know... but there are at least two guys up there who sell good suits now and then), 282 also up on the Portobello Road (but that's a proper shop, not a stall), the Red Cross I think it is in Chelsea, and there's a shop I never learned the name of in the Shepherd's Bush Market selling vintage tweed cloth on the bolt. There's a guy selling some decent vintage suits in the basement of that market in the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane (look for the guy in dreads who also "upcycles" shit that's too worn; that stuff's nonsense in my book but much of his regular stock's worth a look), and there are quite a few other small shops in that general area, especially if you're into workwear type stuff. I forget the name of the exact street they're on but it shouldn't be too hard to find. A few smaller more or less skeevy vintage places all over, as well.

There's no point bothering with Oxfam because they don't sell clobber where they get it, they send it to other shops, to avoid people having to see their neighbors wearing their own used shit I guess. The good thing about the Red Cross is they sell what they get on site, but they've unfortunately learned to charge better than they used to, which is the drawback.

What are some trad haircuts for men?
Also how long or short should the sides be?

I'm going to the barber in a week. I have a long-ish side part right now. About 3 or 4 inches on the top and 2.5 inches on the back and sides. i was thinking about getting the sides cut to about an inch long with some lenght left toward the front/sideburn and upper area because I like to comb the sides straight back.

>>14730743
Also I forgot something. I see a lots of haircuts on older men where the sides are not just cut to an even length (say an inch) but instead where it seems to be quite long and cut at the bottom (think don draper or mr rogers) I would really like this specific kind of haircut but I am not sure what its called or what to ask for. The closest term I have is layered

>>14730765
I think that's just a classic side part cut, my man. Don't hesitate to just show the barber pics of what you want though; I get that you might feel like a memed-on dork asking for a Don Draper cut but you'll feel much dumber if you pay a guy to fuck up your hair just the way you don't want it.

>>14731151

Jeans are still very much in line with the ivy "thing" in my opinion. It is all about rebelling and getting influences from other walks of life; I think denim is no different than wearing white socks with black loafers, wearing rugby shirts with tweed jackets etc, wearing boat shoes on land etc. It's all the evolution of the same concept. And frankly, denim looks very good with many ivy fits.

I am a big fan of denim with earth toned sports jackets, for example. The roughness and texture of beat up denim is wonderfully coherent with coarser tweeds, twills and corduroys. Denim shirts look excellent in the place of OCBD's, as well.

But yeah, it might not be perfectly orthodox trad/prep, but I don't think that's such a serious thing.

Denim is Cotton, Chinos are Cotton. Both Cotton, but Denim is alot tougher and rougher weave pattern. Chinos are accepted, I guess because they have a smoother more matte appearance. The point is, You can be TIP without ever wearing jeans, it's possible, but you can't be TIP if all you ever wear is Jeans.
