Starting topic: Opinions on wearing ties with a similar colour to the knitwear you are wearing above your shirt?

>>15228918
Is a thin cashmere sweater good for spring/summer? Or should I move to cotton?

>>15228933
Yes, switch to cotton, or merino wool.

I have just counted 8 threads + this one + the old one. What a shitfest

>>15228923
It’s fine as long as the tie isn’t a solid color if it is the fabric/text should be unique IMO
>>15228933
Sweaters...summer...what? Unless it gets chilly at night then wear one but sweaters in summer are a hard no.

Favorite place to thrift at(online/local)?

I hope the schizo hipsters don’t shit the thread up

>>15229043
I don't thrift, but I have seen some local second hand stores which usually sell Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger polo shirts for 9€, they seem authentic. Is that a good pricing for such item?

>>15229043
ebay

>>15229075
Absolutely
>>15229078
Same here, Etsy and Poshmark too

been itching for a pair of comfy slip ons to replace my tatty clarks for trips to the local shops, problem is i cant settle on a look i like. anyone got any good examples of relatively plain, but not totally plain loafers? i found these on ebay but i likely wont go for them because im a tight fisted twat atm.

>>15229080
UK anon?

>>15229088
You want inspo or some brand/model?

>>15229036
Yes, I go 1-2 times a week to fish squids. And I do so at night during late spring and summer, around 4-5 AM. With just a shirt it feels cold sometimes.

>>15229088
USA
Maybe go for some tassel loafers

>>15229126
Then buy all means wear a quarter zip(my style for something outdoorsy/sporty) or quilted vest.

>>15229119
both if possible, im still mulling over what i like

>>15229127
theyre a bit too showy for me desu, i doubt they would ever look anything but trashy

>>15229043
I only thrift drape for garments that grandpas farted in from eBay.

>>15229215
Here we go again...

Im looking for any company, US based, that does MTM/MTO sport coats with high armholes for a jacket i can wear semi regularly spring through fall. I was looking at jmueser, luxire, and SpierandMackey, any help, or recommendations are appreciated.

That's 11th thread by you faggots. Let at least some of the others hit 310 you cucks.

>>15229139
/ourguy/ has a good fit with some khaki slip ons. They look like these: https://www.elcorteingles.es/moda/A32890273-mocasines-de-hombre-castellano-de-ante-en-color-beige/


These ones from the same brand are cheap and probably will be good:

>>15229294
I made that one that the jannies actually just deleted, it was supposed to be the actual official one. Yet there still 5 of the other bait threads up. Makes no sense. Unless, >something much larger is going on here....

>>15229321
This fit. Is a general rule with a sports coat that is dark in color, is to wear light pants and shirt with it?

I have a handful of used dark colored sports jackets, mainly because they were really high quality and a new equivalent would cost in the region of $600 each.

Meanwhile the light colored sports jackets I come across are cheap polyester shit.

>>15229362
>Is a general rule with a sports coat that is dark in color, is to wear light pants and shirt with it?
No, it's not. It depends if you want contrast or not, here you have /ourguy/ with dark jacket and dark pants. White pants and navy top is a fantastic contrasting combination.

>Meanwhile the light colored sports jackets I come across are cheap polyester shit
If you search for mediterranean brands (italian, french...), you'll probably find more light colored sports jackets made of 100% wool, linen or cotton.

>>15229407
If he had a black shirt on too would the fits look as good? And his pants are still lighter than the jacket though. Just dark colors seem too formal as opposed to something casual you can wear in the park.

>If you search for mediterranean brands (italian, french...), you'll probably find more light colored sports jackets made of 100% wool, linen or cotton.

Hmm. Good idea. I am in a colder climate in which dark is m ore common.

how dare you speak about the king of jerusalem in that way!

The King of Spain's title is:H.M. Juan Carlos I, King of Spain (according to the 1978 Constitution). However, the titles borne by previous Kings of Spain have not been abolished; thus: His Catholic Majesty Juan Carlos, By the Grace of God, King of Spain, Castile, Leon, Aragon, the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, Navarre, Granada, Toledo, Valencia, Galicia, Mallorca, Menorca, Seville, Cardeña, Cordoba,Corsica, Murcia, Jaen, Algeria, Algernon, Gibraltar, the East and West Indies, the Canary Islands, and the Oceanic Colonies, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant and Milan, Count of Habsburg, Flanders, Tirol and Barcelona, Lord of Vizcaya and Molina.

Some retards are shitposting really hard

is it possible/reasonable to fit your own shirts by hand with just a hand sewing kit? tailors are not open locally and im broke anyway with the spicy chinky flu, but i bought some corduroy shirts for all of 60 pence at aldi so i could maybe have a go on those and learn a little without damaging anything expensive.

>>15230012
Yes and no. You would really just want to taper them on the sides to give a good body fit. Leaving the chest and arms.

The thing is on a machine, that takes a few seconds to re-stitch while by hand a lot, lot longer and is so tedious.

If you bring a shirt in, you can just sew it once but you'll have excess fabric inside which can maybe be an annoyance. But it makes you can take the shirt back out again if needed.

Really you are supposed to take the shirt in and cut the excess fabric but that means you need to also stitch the cut fabric so it does not all fray.

If this sounds confusing, this channel is pretty awesome for learning:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClkX95j-F-SzVMlYP4pIsqA

>>15230093
my concern with home machines is that theyre expensive. id need to fit at least 10 shirts to make my money back on it vs a local tailor.

>>15230203
Well, by your other reply you're English/British. A home machine will cost you around £80 - £100 new, possibly cheaper if you go amazed used/returned but just as good as new.

It's a great investment. 2-3 shirts tailored at a tailors (or rather some women on a sewing machine) is going to £20 or so I assume so the price quickly shoots up. Something you can do in 10 minutes yourself.

Once you learn the basics, you can buy a used jacket that is a size too big for like £5 and tailor it to fit you perfectly.

Even a basic cotton t for £1 you can tailor to your body and it will look better than a £100 one.

So yes, the initial investment might seem a lot (but not really) but it's a life skill. Clothes too big you can sometimes make a little bigger, too big and you make smaller. Trousers too long? No issue. 10 minutes and you're done.

There are some youtube videos in which people buy a jacket for a few pounds and fix it up and it looks amazing.

Most adjustments are super simple, it only gets complex with things like arm length if the item has working cuffs as it comes from the shoulder. if not (as most don't) it's easy. Shit, you can then hand stitch working cuffs if you want on an item making it functional and actually seemingly expensive.

So I'd say it's 100% worth it.

You can pick up a hand machine for like £5 from amazon but it will only do 1 stitch. It will work for what you're looking to do because you'll soon learn that hand stitching is such work (and why in the past fine clothes were worth so much)

>>15230238
Pic related is what I mean.

>>15230240
i hear those are dogshit. my main issue is that on ebay and the like proper machines are barely cheaper than new prices. i looked at it a while back and did a double take at the lack of any discernible reason to not just get a cheap singer on sale. i take it any decent machine like say a singer will handle denim and corduroy?

>>15229321
Love white pants. Hardly anyone wears them and they are really easy to wear

>>15228918
Guys I found a pretty cool camel harrington to wear with my taupe clarks.
Would khaki pants also work with that?
Or should I go for a more contrasted color?

>>15229321
how the fuck did i miss this?

to me, none of those look good. decorations either too much, or too little. i feel like im being finicky rejecting all of these but none quite tick my box. this is about as close as they come, and something about it just says cheap to me. also defeats the point of the loafer to have something on it that can come undone.

>>15232143
>Camel + Dark Green is a great combo
objectively yes, forest green and beige. But take into consideration other highly important aspects like your eye color. If you have green eyes, green shirts will cause a distracting effect. Your eyes should never match the color of your clothing. I find that dark blue and blue in general looks 1000X better on me than any green, because you are only drawn to the matching color, it's hard to explain, but it just looks off-putting imo. The human just can't focus on your whole form, it has to focus just back and forth between the eyes and the green shirt.

>>15232739

>>15233026
>>15233075
Why is the chart wrong? Isn't the colour pairing good?

>>15233364
Well for one all the footwear options are sneakers. This is basically how to dress like a passable npc at your first office job. Nothing interesting or good but just how to blend in.

>>15233442
>>15232413 was asking for "the pic showing the essentials colors and shirt + pants combinations". He didn't ask for footwear.

>>15233450
The graphic is still bad

>>15233364
advising anyone to wear a pink shirt is questionable. Let alone, a pink shirt with green pants. Nice watermelon look anon. Oh your a basketball-american, nevermind carryon.

>>15233495
Pink shirt and green pants looks good

>>15233364
It's way too prescriptive and diluted. Your go-to's should be chinos and corduroy, or wool trousers. In khaki, blue, black, white, grey, beige etc.
Denim is fine, as long as it is not like ripped/holes or some paint splatter crap on it.

Blue, white ocbd.

Stick to the colors of sand/soil, sky, cloud, night, ocean. Grey and charcoal are just that, grey skies, overcast, a fire that has burnt out.

Yes, some anons posted pictures of those in the past. Not top tier shoes, but they looked good for the price.

How many in/cm do you guys leave on the shoulders for comfort, when it comes to sport coats? You’re not going to wear a coat with your exact seam to seam shoulder measurement, that’d be super tight. Yes, blazers and suit jackets should be closer to your original shoulder width to give off that clean look. I’ve seen some who don’t leave much room, it gives them that suit look which is weird for sport coats bc they’re super casual and others who leave too much which looks dorky and oversized. Sorry for the rant.

>>15239895
eBay, just make sure you see tags that list materials. Also some seller that takes returns. Just in case she doesn't like it

Thoughts on overcoats? I've been considering getting something similar to nr.1 or 3 from bottom left, but in gray or black, wool. I'm having a hard time finding anyone who sells these, as it's not very common to wear this in Norway.
I think overcoats look great, but will it make me come across as too turboautistic?
Would it be acceptable to wear this with a knitted sweater underneath in more casual situations (during winter)?

>>15239973
all of those look larpy as fuck, which is the one thing you dont want to look when wearing traditional clothing. keep it practical, and dont stray too far from the norm in your area. a classic wool coat can be reasonable in modern times, but put on a waistcoat outside of a formal event and you will rightly be called a twat because theres little real purpose to a waistcoat anymore besides masking a poor fitting shirt.

in terms of proper overcoats, consider looking at the larger coats gloverall and cordings offer and see if any of those are to your tastes.

It's getting cold down under

Just ordered a linen jacket from Walker Slater and a white OCBD from Drake's. Also now that some things are opened up I got my DRAPEGOD pants back from the alterations place that have been in limbo since I dropped them off in early March. May post fit later and play gay dress up. I would apologize for blogposting but these threads are always shit despite the small number of posters.

I've seen some sites talk about things like matching the colors of your clothes to your skin undertones. Is there something to this or is it just a meme?

>>15244577
You ever wonder why black people don’t really wear white suits that much anon? My ex was from the Caribbeans and had a gorgeous olive skin tone but never wore white because it looked strange. It’s very much a real thing

>>15244577
>>15244621
I am really bad at that colour skin thing, can't even tell what is my skin tone.

It seems the other threads died

ok, is roma uomo a meme or what

>>15244456
those look really nice too.

any chance you could offer any info on this question of mine here? >>15239773

I've literally never ironed wool, woolen nor worsted, while using a pressing cloth and the garment has always come out just fine.

I'm going to a wine tasting this summer, was thinking of wearing some grey chino shorts with a blue polo, white slip ons or brown horsebit loafers with oliver peoples o'malleys. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I really don’t know. I’ve noticed that matte/shine thing too. It’s all cotton, I’d just buy from trust worthy brands.
>>15246151
Lol

Heard all 3 factories are going to close by July(I think). Were stay-at-home orders worth it? I mean they’re just gonna move those companies to Asia and quadruple their profits. The only ones who truly lost were those workers. Blog posting, fuck it

>>15229043
etsy, sellers like placidvintage have a lot of great stuff.

Otherwise, it's ebay. Oxfam and other charity shops will occasionally have an interesting piece otherwise the UK is a bit of a shithole for thrifting tip clothing.

>>15230394
>i hear those are dogshit.

Yeah but if you want to do some simple work versus hand stitching, they are totally worth it for the tiny price.

>just get a cheap singer on sale.

I would get a cheap Janome sewing machine. Singer while can be good, plays a lot on the name and brand. Janome usually rate much better.

>i take it any decent machine like say a singer will handle denim and corduroy?

Well for simple things that you take slowly, if you are stitching heavy denim then not so. The machine is going to be another step up, requiring the strength to do that and those will never be entry price sewing machines.

Basic machines will pretty much do all that you want, but heavy denim, embroidery and so on requires a different (and more expensive) machine.

Tapering a denim jacket is usually fine though on a basic, like above, just take it slow and careful.

>>15246293
Brooks has been in a death spiral for at least a decade. It was going to happen sooner or later. Hopefully the factories will be picked up by actual worthwhile clothes manufacturers like J.Press or Mercer.

>>15246285
oof

>>15246314
i take it corduroy is the same as with denim?

i might grab a cheap hand one and give it a go then, its worth a punt i suppose.

>>15246327
Corduroy is much easier than denim, you only risk messing up like your needle if you go too fast, whilst with the more heavy duty machines they obviously have to go fast because of time and profit in manufacturing.

Yeah I still think the investment is low when you can learn how to make every item of clothing you wear fit you perfectly, so things you like, find comfy etc. but don't have a great fit can now have a great fit.

People pay double the price and more for a "tailored fit" off the rack t-shirt which still will not fit right when you could get a basic t shirt and do it.

>>15246325
Hopefully

>>15239773
>>15246327
>>15245424
Matte looking corduroy is usually 100% cotton or nearly. The shiny stuff is almost always a poly blend but if it's expensive as fuck it's probably actual velvet corduroy which is the real deal and heavy as all get out. There are expensive poly blend cords out there though so don't be fooled.

>>15246293

>>15244577
you want clothes to compliment your skin tone, not match it

>>15247132
How does all that work?

>>15246649
velvet corduroy is more or less the goal, to be honest. its one of those things i really like about the material, it has a rather luxurious look and feel to it. know anywhere i could look for quality velvet corduroy?

>>15246365
am i best opting for a handheld from a pricier brand, or will some £5 chinky machine do?

>>15247439
I actually don't. Using silk is pretty rare, but I feel like RL purple used to make some. The way the cotton usually used is cut can also make a difference in plushness. I don't remember the process without checking Wikipedia, but the more plush cotton version is probably your best bet. Don't ask me where to get it though because I have no idea who does what definitively. But I can say that I think my polo cords look far better than my JCrew cords and that I want to upgrade my cords as well someday.

>>15247345
Basically look with your eyeballs and see if it looks bad on you. I'm very pale for example, so I look terrible in red or black but great in blue, green, grey, and brown and fine in everything else. Those colors also bring out my eye and hair colors. I just used trial and error over the course of my life, but I'm sure if you Google you may find a guide.

>>15247480
Isn't there some tutorial? I have no idea how to know my skin tone

>>15247345
basically If are light-skinned, you can wear black white, and neutrals, darker colours like brown, blue. Colours that are too similar to your skin, like fusia, peach, pink, will clash, and look bad. Really vibrant colours like orange, red, yellow, green look better on black people, whereas brown will look bad obviously.

>>15247439
>or will some £5 chinky machine do?

Pretty much. All of the handheld ones will be made in China anyway.

>>15247574
Bruh, what? That's contrast and not compliment.

The same applies for hair. Like if you have pale skin, black hair clashes too much. That would be contrast which you are advocating for some reason.

Meanwhile if you have pale skin, a light brown color or blond suits your hair best. It's why dark skinned people look best with black hair and a black beard.

So if you have pale skin, a light grey shirt is going to look better than a black one on you. Please stop giving "advice" lol.

>>15244042
Larry Davis is Bernie Sanders' cousin.

>>15247574
The way I've heard it explained is that color depends more on your undertone, which is either cool or warm.
Cool undertones tend to wear blue shades, deep purple, certain green tones, light gray, etc. better.
Meanwhile, warm undertones should generally go more for earth tones (brown shades, burgundy...) and warm colors (yellow, orange).
That isn't supposed to mean that you have to exclude half of all colors from your wardrobe, just that it's something that can potentially help you.


In terms of contrast, supposedly it depends on your natural contrast: if you have light skin and dark hair (or black skin and white/blonde hair), you can be a bit more daring in terms of combining primary or complementary colors, though stay vary their hue or you'll look like a clown.


I'm not an expert on any of this, just some things I have read in various articles, so do your own research.
If you want actual advice, you're probably best off to just start with conservative neutral colors like greys, shades of brown, shades of blue, white, etc. Then add a splash of color to one piece of clothing or different hues of the same color. In terms of which color, maybe something based on your undertone, maybe repeat a naturally occurring color (e.g. your eye color).

>>15248434
>do you play rugby?
No, I also don't own a boat.

>>15248401
rugby shirts are best in stripes or solid colors, the more modern patterns like the one shown are mostly associated with minorities and hoodrats, two groups that are distinctly not /tip/

>>15239773
Full cotton is better, actually the only acceptable choice. There are one or two English makers that every bespoke and MTM operation worth their salt buy from.

>>15246649
>>15247439
Full velvet (as in silk velvet; "cotton velvet" is just velveteen, the material regular corduroy is made of) cords are basically something you're never going to find, the closest you'll possibly get is silk weft and a rayon pile. The same is true even for smoking jackets. People just don't make proper velvet anymore. If you've touched a vintage garment made from silk velvet, you know; the hand feel is noticeably different due to the much thinner threads giving a denser pile.

>>15249353
well fuck. i kinda want something luxurious to wear, even if its just once in a while. any idea whats going on with some cords having no sheen and others more so, even seemingly all cotton ones?

>>15249636
Cords with no sheen are cheap shitty Levi’s

>1% poly really matters.
Yea that 1%....it'll fuck you ever time.

>>15250191
mate these things literally come in team colours designs, you will look like a larper if you dont at least have a build that makes it look like you have at least played rugby once in your life. either that or youll look like a slightly classier norf fc man.

>>15250017
im not so sure desu

>>15250382
Never said it mattered. I don’t see the point to add that synthetic fabric btw. The stretch isn’t there. Have you noticed that? It starts getting stretchy at 2%
>>15250383
Haha I guess. I have an all brown one from Columbiaknit so no team colors there...right?

>>15250425
>I don’t see the point to add that synthetic fabric btw
it must do something, or else they wouldn't add it. It probably reduces the cost by alot

>>15250435
Isn't the 1-3% of elastanes and polys to make the pants more flexible? I read somewhere that most of that % is concentrated in the waist area.

>>15250425
depends desu, i dont know what you look like and i dont know what it looks like on you. polos are common now but rugby shirts not so much, they still very much look like sports wear.

rugbys are meant to be worn untucked, and it's like a step down from a ocbd, it has a place, it doesn't have to have rugby stripes. It's just another style of shirt that is useful in a casual active setting bro

Is mid-grey too light of a color for evening events?

>>15252064
depends on the season i think, post the color in question tho

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what do you guys wear for light activity. What I mean is not quite active wear like you’re going for a run but maybe you’ll be walking around town for a few hours. I usually wear what I wear normally but lately I’ve been getting weird looks and I realized it’s because I look a little dressed up.

>>15252680
It's more likely you're just surrounded by normies or are just overdressed. I get looks for wearing chinos + a sweater to walk the dog.

>>15252680
even wealthy people with nice houses these days have lost all self-respect, dressed in sweatpants and asics, imagine a 50 year old man, wearing fucking asics and sweatpants unironically to the grocery store. Gen X and baby boomers, a truly sad generation

>>15252064
Probably. You can always wear it with something darker

>>15252680
>what do you guys wear for light activity
Something light. A simple OCBD, polo, chinos and mocs. Lately weather has been a bitch so a jacket/vest too.
>I usually wear what I wear normally
And that is?
>lately I’ve been getting weird looks and I realized it’s because I look a little dressed up
My guess is that you’ve worn tees and joggers for the majority of your life and now that you’ve made this “dramatic” change you feel like everyone’s looking at you and insecure.

>>15253412
>And that is?
Usually a sweater or button down or both and chinos. Sometimes I wear jeans.
> My guess is that you’ve worn tees and joggers for the majority of your life and now that you’ve made this “dramatic” change you feel like everyone’s looking at you and insecure.
No. It’s just that everyone else is in sweatpants or shorts or some workout attire. I’m in a suburban environment so maybe that’s why but I could be imagining it. I don’t know.

>>15253387

COVID19 has made this even worse. People have had a taste of working from home in their sweatpants everyday and applied it to the rest of their life.

>>15253565
Fuck em. Wear what you look,what you think you look good in and what makes you feel good.
Note that this does not mean you should look down on others for their choices.

What colour for a linen shirt would pair better with a forest green pant? White or beige? it's not even summer and I'm already dying

Where can I get a decent pair of cord pants and what's a color I can't go wrong with?

>>15239973
If you want to wear a long overcoat don’t get it in black and only wear a cape or something resembling a cape with white or black tie, as cool as capes are these are the only two acceptable non military dress codes for them and I think this is one of the situations where not following the rules would make you look like an autist.

Depends on formality. Dressier cords - i like cordings of picadilly. More casual cords in the 5 pocket style, Levi's or Duck Head look good. For colors stick to navy, earth tones like wheat or khaki, and (surprisingly) black can also work okay.

>>15254162
darker grays can also work

>>15228918
I want to try dressing preppy for the summer and thought I'd ask here, where in Europe/The UK can you find chino shorts that aren't flat fronted, super duper slim fit crap, not cheap shit, and also aren't from some already expensive American brand that costs more due to imports and taxes?

The pastebins don't really have anything on shorts and places I usually look for "things I want to try but don't want to be a waste of money if I dislike" i.e. uniqlo don't have anything nice

>>15253565
Sounds super casual. Screw them, they’re probably fat and ugly as well.

Mine finally came in two weeks ago. The first pair shipped within 3 weeks, this time it took a little over a month and a half. Did get an apology email from them. Probably somehow corona related.

So guys i got some boat shoes (leather) for the summer but they are a half a size too big. Unfortunately i cant return them and i really like the shoes. What would be the best method to shrink them? I looked up some methods online and it recommends getting the shoes damp with some water and leaving them up to dry among other methods. Do you think doing this would work, or should i give them to my cobbler? Would a cobbler be able to pull it off?

>>15257607
Do not soak them. I doubt there is anything the cobbler can do but you can ask. Sell second hand to get some money back and get some in the correct size.

>>15257607

>>15258656
There is a HUGE list in the OP, in the sweater list.

>>15257607
If you are using them like actually as an upper class person at your cottage does, on a dock, or a boat deck, or a sailboat, or yacht...just walk around in some shallow water for a bit, for about 30 seconds when you are up there one weekend...fully submerged. This will shrink them half a size, to a whole size. The leather won't look as nice after, but they will shrink. Don't do it salt water though.

>>15259742
This, there is a lot of stuff in OP that people don't even read

Can anybody drop me some knowledge and tips on how to dress “correctly”? I’m looking for some general rules like “always tuck your dress shirt in” etc.
Also can somebody explain the difference between Trad, Prep, Ivy? What’s the default “standard” way?
Thanks
