Starting topic: what kind of socks are good for the incoming summer?

Can someone kindly point me to where I could find high waisted chinos in Europe?

>new thread right after my post

I really enjoyed some of the posts on affordable wardrobe but I feel like I could do with more information on thrifting clothing. I got hints at things like cotton's typically being harder to find in good condition than wool garments which is a bit of a pain given how much I like corduroy, but any information is good information.

Some questions I have are what items am I likely to be able to thrift well via eBay in the UK, what things can I look for, and on the topic of tweed is all Harris Tweed created equal or should I take care to avoid the stuff produced for cheaper labels? It's going to be a while before I can buy things anyway so I might as well stock up on information.

Where's the best place in the UK to buy cravats that aren't made in China?

>>15285637
Nice pic. I think those socks don't work with those boat shoes, too much colour blocking there

>>15285755
The Superman socks are what makes it work.

>>15285572
for casual wear, no show socks. But honestly I go sockless because I'm wearing canvas sneakers and boat shoes most of the time. For formalwear, try cotton or linen socks in an over-the-calf length.

>>15285637
Bush Sr. always had a large, idiosyncratic sock collection. Not elegant in the slightest, but it's how he had some fun. Do it if you have fun too.

Is tommy hillfiger decent for women?

What are some comfortbale trousers for the summer and where can I purchase them?

>>15285905

Bills look so good but I can't bring myself to spend more than 125 on pants. Maybe when I make salary and am not a secretary anymore.

That feel when you find a nice vintage Barbour sports coat for a decent price but it's a few sizes too big...

In a profession that has been overtaken by the unbearable trend of wearing a Patagonia vest + slacks + dress shirt, would it look autistic to just wear a suit? I fucking HATE the vest trend

Lads, I'm deciding between off-white and tobacco brown linen trousers. I already have two pairs of summer appropriate beige cotton trousers and a pale grey fresco pair. Which color should I pick?

>>15288335
Tobacco IMO, pale grey and beige are closer to off-white and tobacco linen looks real good.

Who cares. They’re breathable/comfy for summer, high quality, and most importantly Made in USA

I got this kinda plain blazer (yes yes it's fast fashion), but kinda regret it. What kind of short / pants combination would look best with it? Just starting to get into the groove of things.

>>15289541
>That much synthetic
>TIP
Pick one

Which looks like a better casual shirt because I need to pick up a few cheap ones?
Why does the CT one look much less relaxed and flatter? I don’t know enough to be able to say why.

>>15289883
Anything Khaki or Olive but usually the stores have things that go well with them, looks like Reiss or Massimo?

>>15290290
I'd go for the first of those

>>15289541
Why would you pay that much for trousers that are 64% paper? At that price range you can go bespoke with decent fabrics.
Lyocell isn’t exactly uncomfortable, but it is fragile.

>>15288335
Off-white is a must-have. Tobacco is more /tip/ but I would rather have it made out of corduroy or plain cotton.

>>15292513

>>15292988
Don't buy their sexcore pieces? The only problem is their trousers, which only come in slim fit, but that is a rule with any mall store.
>>15293064
The market for Jcrew in Europe is different from their market in the US. People willingly want an americanized brand, thus are willing to pay more.

What are the absolute lowest cost brands that aren’t awful, which I can go to for trad types of summer clothing in UK? I have no warm weather clothing and I’m looking for a lot of neutrals and textures in shirts, so I’ll have to settle for mall tier until I’m sure I like it, also not sure about shirts.

>>15293425
any decent online stores for this at the moment then?

>>15293305
The cheapest consistent source of new /tip/ clothes in Europe is Massimo Dutti. There are a ton of clothes in that style for sale at places like El Corte Inglés too, but I still prefer Zara2 for their curation, consistency and price. Only buy at discount, though. They do them often, you can get a fairly decent linen shirt for 20-ish euros.

>>15293414
>Bc I can
Why not just go for Tom Ford, YSL or Prada, then? Going for Bill's Khakis is still a cope.
>it’s much higher
Lol. I payed 150 for my pairs of bespoke cotton trousers with 11.5oz fabric
>n what’re you planning to do in those trousers?
Some people do shit like horseback riding and bushcraft, you know?
Actually, even within Bill's Khakis line there are good 100% cotton trousers, which most likely will be much better than the lyocell one, minus the stretch.

Same goes for other trash brands like Levi's

>>15285565
Does anyone have experience with Gitman Vintage's MTO? I like their fabrics better than Mercer, but the GV standard sizing is too long in the sleeve. I'm not willing to wait the several-plus months and pay extra shipping/tailoring for a Mercer either.

>>15293828
Yup. Levis cost like 70-100 euros in Europe. In America, people buy them for for 30-50.

>>15293828
>>15293841
What is a cheap but decent brand for denim in EU then which rivals or better than Levi? Not quite looking for actual good denim brands like Nudie etc.

>>15293865
Uniqlo? For 50 there isn't much imo. Better to just go for something the same price as Levi's here but better quality.

>>15293888
Anything considerable at like 90 or not worth buying middle ground stuff?

No shit I just suggested those to that anon bc he wanted some breathable and lightweight. Probably wants just for the office or around town use, not for hiking/horseback riding Lol

>>15295153
>>15282716

>>15293638
El Corte Ingles own brands are way better than Zara, try Easy Wear or Emidio Tucci. What has always given me a good result are Easy Wear 100% Lambswool sweaters, they cost 35€ and the quality is quite decent.

>>15295153
What else is a TIP appropriate normie brand flex? I can only think of Gucci loafers.

>>15293865
H&M or Pepe Jeans. I see a lot of Diesel and Ripstar, but those are way overpriced for what they are.
>>15294099
A light tweed blazer, if you can find it. Linen is great, as >>15294142 pointed out, but it won't give the same appearance as blazer nor anything equivalent. 5-ish years ago I saw a gorgeous bespoke bamboo fiber blazer that was between tweed and linen in its texture, so there is that.
>>15294895
Nah. You still pick 2 identical pairs of jeans size-wise and they turn out to be different when you wear them. They might even be worse.
>>15295281
They are slightly better, in my opinion, with some highlights such a Eton and the odd Carmina shoe. They are definitely not "3 times the price of MD" good, though.
>What has always given me a good result are Easy Wear 100% Lambswool sweaters, they cost 35€ and the quality is quite decent.
Are they partially stitched or completely knitted? For that price, I can only imagine that they have the stitching on the sides and the armpit, bu that is not inherently bad.
>>15295290
Yeah. There are some better brand there, but it is mostly ASOS tier.
>>15295386
Based. One of the 3 good posters.

>>15295460
>Are they partially stitched or completely knitted?
I don't know the difference between those 2 things and I have the sweater in my other home, so can't take a picture.

>>15295290
Easy Wear has some stuff that could fit into ASOS tier, but Emidio Tucci definitely has nothing to do with ASOS stuff:
https://www.elcorteingles.es/emidio-tucci/moda/hombre/?level=6

>>15295480
Partially stictched ones are basically panels of knitted wool that the manufacturer cuts and then stitches with a machine. Completely knited ones, like Harley of Scotland's, are knitted in the shape of the sweater itself, not having any visible stitching. It's mostly a sign of quality, but the stitching is a weak link that may get damaged and undo the sweater.

I'm content with that. Different seasons make way for different fabrics. I saw a documentary some time ago called "O'mast", it had some beautiful shots of a double breasted linen blazer, genuinely at awe. Picrel doesn't do it justice. I rec it to everyone on this thread

>>15295513
>No but I am from the mediterranean
I remember you from some of the other threads. love the OC. glad to see you're still around.

>>15295494
I found it at home. I guess this is partially stitched.

For 35€ they are a great purchase, I had a green and grey one from the same brand in the past and I was quite happy with it. For basics their lambswool knitwear is fine.

>>15295386

My hair is almost black and my skin is light, a non contrasting outfit would look comical on me.

>>15295596
I agree with this..I tried this the other day and the dark navy chinos don't work at all with the light blazer. Also the boatshoes I should have replaced with loafers but whatever.

>>15295386
>jacket
>Boglioli K,

What are some other suit/jacket brands to look out for when thrifting in Europe? I've been lucky and bought two vintage brooks blazers that were being sold in the UK but apart from that I haven't found much that wasn't too short/padded

>>15295682
Look for old british, german and italian brands. Some of them are bankrupt/out of business and are not recognisable they sell for dirt cheap at thrift stores. We're talking 2€ for a merino wool blazer. As for modern brands I've been quite lucky with Boggi and Polo LR mostly. I found a bespoke, neapolitan s120s chalk striped charcoal flannel suit once in my measurements, crazy thing is that you can tell it was commisioned after 2015 because of the styling. Condition was absolutely perfect too, got it for 10€
>wasn't too short
This hurts the most. I can't understand the obsession with short jackets, shoulder high lapel gorge and chest high button placement.

>>15295286
Tods or the Mocassin 180 from JM Weston. Not only they are a brand flex but they are gorgeous.
>>15295682
Vintage Boggi Milano, Kiton, Belvest, Marol, vintage Facconable.
>I'm content with that. Different seasons make way for different fabrics. I saw a documentary some time ago called "O'mast", it had some beautiful shots of a double breasted linen blazer, genuinely at awe
Definitely. Linen is my favorite fabric, but there are some people that don't like how it wrinkles. Due to this divisive nature I am hesistant to say that linen is equivalent to tweed

>>15295709
>Look for old british, german and italian brands
.... like?

>>15295676
Good fit, but the boat shoes look too scuffed up for the outfit. Switch them out for some Derby shoes and the ensemble is solid. Leave the Sperrys for more casual affairs.

Interested to know what country you are in. Here in Paris, thrift stores are mostly filled with junk and the good thrift stores are really expensive for what you get. In the UK (where I used to live) there are only charity shop selling XL marks and spencer clothes.

"An Ivy League is traditionally groomed with hair control wax commonly referred to as butch wax. [...] When worn with a side part and with the top hair brushed to the side, an Ivy League can be styled with or without the short bangs being brushed up to form a short pompadourfront."

>>15297239

You people have confused me.

Best place for pants under £80ish in UK?

How about a list in the op of recommended vintage brands for thrifting and for eBay/etsy? I can start:

Made in USA suit/seperates
Corbin
J.Press (careful, a lot of these have quite structured bodies and padded shoulders)
Cricketer
Southwick
Brooks Bros (avoid those made in the 90s When the brand was owned by marks and Spencer)
Paul Stuart
Jos a bank

Europe suits/seperates
Gieves and hawks
Facconable
Brioni
Kiton
Chester Barrie

Any other suggestions?

>>15297664
I like that waistcoat, but it looks too tight.

>>15297907

Hey anon, I do a fair bit of thrifting in the UK too, not much experience with Ebay but I'll share what I know.

From my in-store experiences, charity shops on upscale streets tend to be your best bet for finding very cheap trad stuff. Scope and Loros have consistently had the best quality clothing out of all the shops i frequent, I've gotten lucky and found Brooks Brothers and designer tailoring there.
Shoreditch/Brick Lane has a couple vintage thrift stores that have a good selection of quality vintage suits, as well as the Underground Market, but they're more expensive and need a little haggling for a good deal usually.

>>15299001
Going back to Brick Lane, the underground market tends to have a few vendors who have hyperspecific merchandise. Off the top of my head, I know one or two always sell Harris Tweed jackets, as well as a few others having a lot of old military coats and ~1940s tailoring. If you're polite with them, they're happy to talk about what they know and give you advice on your purchases. Even if you're not willing to spend too much, it's worth a trip just to see everything and interact with the vendors.

>>15295386
duck I wish my pants fit like this

>>15297664
>Try a tie with thinner interlining.
Good eye anon. Nice fit but you better have a jacket to go along.
>>15299116
Thrift and tailor. Buy oversized pants and slim them down, that way you can adjust thigh and leg opening to your liking. Also, only get mid to high rise pants.

>>15299001
Hornets in Kensington is a great vintage shop. Otherwise I go to charity shops in Fulham and Wimbledon. My experience of thrifting in brick lane hasn't been great. Loads of tat.

>>15299210
I think that's the case with most thrifty areas, on account of teens/young adults being their main audience. I can't speak for all university towns, but Leicester high street has a great selection of thrift stores, and they're sandwiched between two universities.

>>15298923
>Chinese meme clothes sold at an upcharge
I don't see evidence of this.

>>15299030
Last time I was at that market (at least I think it's the same one, basement of the old brewery, right?) the rasta guy who upcycles motheaten formalwear had some great suits. It was awhile ago now, obviously.

>>15299210
Always pay cash at Hornets, the prices magically go down in my experience.

>>15299308
Cool fag, waste your money on chink shit. might as well get some uniqlo too

>>15299390
Uniqlo sells perfectly good trousers. I've been wearing a pair of their vintage chinos for years. Dunno why you have such a random hateboner for made in china clothing. You probably unwittingly buy Chinese clothing yourself. The "made in Italy" tag barely means anything these days.

>>15299308
It's been proven multiple times that olive clothing sources their shit from AliExpress.
>>15299403
This was going alright until you started coping about made in Italy

My entire wardrobe is Belvest, Isiaia, Eidos, Caruso, Corneliani, Canali and Attolini. Caruso in particular is great as their stuff can be had for quite cheap and the quality has never let me down. Caruso makes a lot of jackets/suits for like every menswear store in Europe. I have a few jackets from like Sven's menswear in Stockholm and Adolf's menswear in Vienna. Boglioli is shit imo. Steer clear.

newfag here, is there a good place/method on getting 3-button blazers?

>>15300180
Is the color scheme acceptable? What if the white was more of a cream or ivory?

>>15300510
>3 button blazer

ew. Go two or 3/2 roll.

>>15300523
Yes, cream for white would improve it, the other colours are fine toghether. The problem there is in the mix of casual and formal clothing, the clashing is too damn high. The only way to solve that outfit is by removing that shirt and that tie and switch them to something more casual.

>>15300567
Are leather jackets /tip/? Where do you get your trench coats?

>>15300593
Leather jackets can never be tip sorry

>>15300593
Some traditional models such as the A2 Jacket might fit into Ivy, because right after the war, the unis got flooded by the military. And some of their attire appeared in the unis as well.

>>15300484
I don't think you get it. Have you compared modern brooks brothers to the vintage stuff? Vintage is so often better than the awful rubbish that pervades most clothing now.

Will gluing a topy on a brand new shoes throw off its balance and make my feet explode? I've just got a pair of suede tassel loafers with leather soles and I want to make them my rainy day pair.

>>15301583
What? No of course not.

What is the best suit color for someone who has never bought a good suit?

I need something for business, Church, and job interviews. It needs to look professional obviously, but not overly formal either.

I was thinking something in a charcoal grey color. I really like wool as well. However, is this foolish to get as my main suit (disregarding the wool part, I know that won't be my first choice)

>>15302004
Starter suits: gray and navy
Advanced suits that will make other tippers stare: fuzzy tweed and brince of wales

>>15302004
>I was thinking something in a charcoal grey color. I really like wool as well. However, is this foolish to get as my main suit
No, this is abolutely correct. A charcoal suit in worsted wool is the unquestionable best choice for a first suit. And let me stress that you SHOULD get wool, 100% new wool, anything else is going to be shit for a general use suit basically -- synthetics are shit across the board and linen/silk are niche fabrics, not bad by any means, great for what they are, but shit for a first suit.

>>15302336
Muji (it's Japanese)

>>15302004
I've likewise settled on a charcoal grey as my first suit.

The real question is where to get it.

Bespoke will be much higher quality and a more heirloom piece, but here in australia what tailoring there is caters to #bosshunting/SEXcore on one hand, and dull boomer-tier on the other.

M2M, eg. spier & mackay, will be made in china and there's something soulless about getting it done over the internet, but I get more control over the details, like having a higher rise or a Neapolitan cut.

>>15302642
Looks like a Harrington or a Blouson

>>15301638
I went too far down the igent rabbithole where people claim that topies are a crime against cordwainery.

Can anyone speak on the quality of items from this store? I need to buy some shirts and some trousers for casual wear and they seem somewhat attractive for the price range compared to other UK stores.
https://www.hawesandcurtis.co.uk/

Slightly more expensive than the others but I don’t know if it’s justified, how do the shirts compare to the usual TM/CT and the trousers decent enough?

What is poor mans The Rake/Rubinacci clothing if any? I saw those Rubinacci Manny Shorts and I fell in love with the style but I’m not sure how you’d describe it because everything seems so relaxed.

>>15303094
They're gurkha shorts and suit supply makes some. I own 2 pairs of the Manny trousers which are absolutely great. No experience with suit supply's shorts though.

>>15303172
Thanks, maybe will have to go with those. I found another Instagram brand which offers them, I bet there are more of these but just hard to find. https://amfeast-international.myshopify.com/collections/shorts/products/cotton-gurkha-shorts

>>15303536
I've never had a pair of ready to wear trousers from an Italian fashion house that didn't fit like shit. All my suits are a disappointment because of this except a vintage Brooks Bros which must have been owned by some hamplanet. I've had every single one of my other suit trousers let out 1.5 sizes just so they won't burst when I sit down.

>>15303565
thanks anon, I would have been glad just for the first part because it's an acknowledgement of the fact that I took the time to post an image

Button down or not with >jeans?
GB/EU if it matters and not a lot seem to use BD

>>15303592
I think it's in poor taste to wear a shirt tucked in with jeans at all. Office up top, rodeo down below.

>>15303592
>>15303604
I should add that I have sartorial autism and if you do wear a BD with jeans, most people will think you are well dressed so make of my post what you will
For instance, I think this looks great but I'd never try it myself because of my screeching autism

>>15303592
sure, why not

>>15303742
Simon Crompton took my coworker out to dinner while I had to slave away in my Hong Kong hotel room

Not TIP, but how would you make black jeans fit somewhat? I’m just getting a little curious I guess.
Total black or washed black? I’m leaning towards washed since it’s more like a charcoal.

>>15303965
Choose grey instead

>>15303462
This is great.

Try some double pleats and some collar bones.

>>15302750
>>15302242
>>15302004
Charcoal grey. If you want to mix it up a bit consider a simple diagonal twill or EXTREMELY SMALL weave like nailhead.

MTM gets you almost all the way there, but try to find a local tailor you can build a relationship with, as that’s the human touch you’re looking for.

>>15303965
total black, itll end up washed anyways
get some wrangler cowboy cuts

>>15303976

sprezzatura baby

What are some walking shoes / trainers that are most appropriate for /trad/? Out of necessity. Think yuppie 80s, maybe a bit like New Balance.

On the topic of denim, is there any good cheap selvedge other than uniqlo? I lift so I’m hesitant to get any expensive denim just yet since my measurements fluctuate a lot, I find denim is much less forgiving. An anon in a previous thread recommended Unbranded as best for the price range, but I may just have to go cheaper since I’m not sure. In that case, either Wrangler or Levi’s unless there is a brandless alternative rivalling that?

Also most likely a woman’s jean for the high rise I guess.

>>15304242
>uniqlo
>good

>>15303462
What on earth is going on with your shirt collar? Is it supposed to be worn with a tie? It looks like flappy foreskin. Rest of fit is fine. Would need to see jacket buttoned to really assess its fit properly. You're lucky you have a short torso. I wish I could wear italian blazers and actually have it cover my bum.

>>15303745
He's the ultimate igent though. This article cracks me up.

https://www.permanentstyle.com/2019/12/how-id-shop-on-a-budget.html

I'll also never forgive him for the abomination that is bespoke jeans (with no belt loops!).

>>15304242
If you are going cheap, why selvedge? It has no pratical gain compared to regular denim. It is more of an artisanal thing, which makes buying it from uniqlo pointless.

>>15285565

do i score the george w. blue or the electric mint

>>15304710
Is it possible to get something like this at Levi's?

>>15304848
No, but you can get a high-rise pair of jeans and remove the belt loops. Will look fairly similar.

>>15304848
Simon got his made through Levi's bespoke service. However I think bespoke jeans are ultimately a waste of time because of the unpredictable nature of denim as a fabric.

>>15304819
mint is the hot color of the moment, per raja and raven

>>15304706
>What on earth is going on with your shirt collar? Is it supposed to be worn with a tie?
Of course it's SUPPOSED to be worn with a tie. It looks like it does because I wore that shirt with a tie yesterday, so it's made the collar roll a bit. I get my shirts made lightly lined and fused, so the collar isn't very sturdy. I couldn't be bothered putting a tie on on or grabbing collar stays, but I quite like the way it looks, it gets the memey collar roll of a button down without the buttons.

>>15304706
>You're lucky you have a short torso. I wish I could wear italian blazers and actually have it cover my bum.
Also I don't have a short torso, I have shirt legs. It's partly why I get my trousers made with such a high waist, to create an illusion of balance. That Kei is just about too long for my tastes, I've actually considered having it shortened a little.

Is cuckolding /tip/py as long as everyone involved is white.?

>>15305063
No, die

Putting rules aside for a moment and just going from looks, is there any alternative casual collar to a button-down which can be used for daily wear without a tie and with all pants? Is poplin fine for casual?

I ask because BD collars feel weird in the sense that they look huge and in the area that I live and it’s just too alienating at early 20s.

>>15305340
there are tiny BD collars and there are huge BD collars. If you're going to go for a little cuck collar a la H&M, just don't bother cuz you'll look like a fag unless you're really tiny. It's all a proportions game.
Any collar that's buttoned up is inherently casual, so I don't really see the issue. If you want something really casual, go mandarin.
What I really want to stress is don't get a tiny little cuck collar ok?

>>15305388
any collar that's NOT buttoned up is inherently casual sry

>>15305340
yeah. here in europe button downs are way rarer and people just wear poplin spread collar shirts casually

>>15305391
He meant to say buttoned down.
