I made the mistake of paying full price. Their OCBDs are meant to be worn casually. It’d be embarrassing seeing someone pairing it up with a sports jacket/blazer bc of the shit collars. The quality is bad. Their “classic fit” is made for men with pear shaped bodies. They’re so tight around the shoulders and lats. I don’t want to size up bc then I’d have to alter it. Why do that when I can just buy something made for me. I ended up giving them to my youngest sibling. Shame on them. I liked their colored pony logo.

[Anonymous No.14956269]

Anyone shop from eBay or Thrift? How was your experience with how the clothes turned out. Is it worth it rather than buying retail?

I'm starting buy pre-owned from eBay. I look for high quality at a lesser expense. I started to do so because Men's fashion in big branded stores like Macy's are very expensive or crap quality.

I've always been having a prep aesthetic though now I'm fully committing to it.

Pic-related is a shirt I'm going to buy for under $20, 100% cotton.

It all depends on the article, quality might be better on shirts in BB but design is far superior in PRL. Both brands have great items, but some might be shit.

The majority of my oxfords are from Polo. They fit my body without needing to be altered and their 100% cotton shirts are a great weight. I can wear them year round. The logo is a non-issue and people who sperg out over it are retarded. As long as you get a shirt with the normal small logo than no one cares.

You know as outlandish as they may look I can see them being worn, but only in summer and prefferably on vacation. Also don't ever think about it if yohr clothes don't fit you or look too modern. Make sure to combine approprietly (left could be anchored with a plain white shirt and slacks but could be paired with a pair of emerald cufflings) and with plain clothes (I believe right would look fantastic with an ecru or eggshell linen jacket)

thrift is good since you can try things on but mostly the sizes are limited to boomer sizes especially for more formal stuff

so if you are smol and have a 33 inch chest like me then be prepared to bitterly have to pass up so many good blazers because they are 42R

I've only ever found one blazer or suit jacket that actually fit me in a thrift shop and it was a navy Ted Baker unstructured blazer like pic related

>Anyone shop from eBay or Thrift? How was your experience with how the clothes turned out. Is it worth it rather than buying retail?

ebay is definitely worth it if you're a) very patient, b) autistic about knowing your measurements and finding/getting measurements for any item you're looking at, and c) have a bit of luck about you. it's mainly just a time and numbers game desu, you can find gems if you put in the work. doubly so if you're a "normal" size, like between 38-42 chest, thrift stores seem to be full of very large and very small sizes.

Should I get pre-rolled cuffs on my chinos? I feel that they bring a bit of detail to the bottom of the outfit which can be quite interesting. I have ordered a navy and a khaki pair.
Also, which is the ideal lapelle size for a sports coat? I am torn between 7 and 8 centimeters.
Also, I am a bit torn on the matter of lining. The fabric is a tropical wool, 120gr, so it needs a lining to keep its shape. Obviously I want something cool. Polyester is obviously out, and the tailor would hit me if I suggested it anyways. The tailor suggested acetate, as silk is too warm and cotton too wrinkly. How does viscose/rayon hold up against acetate? Any other natural lining that helps the jacket keep its shape?

That's not a repp tie, that's a British regimental tie and old upper- and even middle-class Brits still get extremely salty if you wear one whose regiment you didn't belong to. American repp ties are often just cut on the opposite bias (aligning the diagonal stripes the other way) from the same silk as those regimental ties, made by the same British mills, and wearing them is probably the archetypical example of differing standards, something highly preppy that British trad regards as gauche.

I'll take this seriously for a moment

The reason this doesn't work is the coat looks way too larpy, way too over the top with the shade of blue and the gold buttons

If the blue were a darker navy (or black), you replaced the gold buttons with black/brown horn, and wore it with a completely different set of clothes, it might work (in a pretentious philosophy student sort of way). Basically this coat has nothing whatsoever to do with /tip/

As it is, it doesn't work at all, particularly with tan cords (?) and that terrible scarf. At least it fits well I suppose, not that that matters too much

If you really want to wear this coat, replace the buttons with dark horn to tone down the nautical/military tones a bit, wear it with different clothes, and don't wear it in that weird way i.e. undo a couple of the buttons or wear it open, turn the collar up, don't wear that dreadful scarf with it, maybe a pure navy/charcoal/black cashmere or subdued tartan might work better

Sorry to break it to you but the polo colour is shit, your first polo should be white, navy or grey. Only after you go these can you go after greens, yellows reds etc. Get a higher rise trousers, since not only do they look better but they're also more comfortable plus get a straight cut not a slim cut, if you want you can also get a taper. Change your belt to a needle point, braided or elastic belt if you're on a budget. So get a white polo which isn't too slim but not baggy (and tuck it in fully), Khalid chinos (not shorts, they're used for the beach), a braided belt matching the leather of your shoes, and a pair of boat shoes in a brown.

Abysmal fits. Tuck your shirts in and wear non-skinny pants. If you can't accept tucking your shirts and wearing classic fit pants, then maybe TIP isn't for you.

Thanks for the tips bro. I’ll stick to my usual fits for now.

[Anonymous No.14969212]

>>14969206
Okay, just start out slow, preferably plan what you're going to buy. Go with neutral or toned down colours too, nothing flashy.

[Anonymous No.14969232]

Another possible summer fit but genuinely not sure if this is cringe or not.

Ditch the shoes. Otherwise you got some serious Elio vibes.

Better than previous fit although ditch the jumper on your shoulder's

tuck or don't tuck (i'd say don't with a polo) but never half tuck
wear with khakis or even jeans. lacoste pique polo and chinos is timeless fit
also get better looking shoes

WTF is wrong with having a red polo?

>>14969232
This one is good, as the other anon said: change the shoes. Some brown boat shoes or espadrilles would go great with that outfit for summer

Honestly nothing, its just the way he's combining it. I would never wear a red polo though

[Anonymous No.14969307]

That colour combination is good: red+navy. If it were bad, you wouldn't see it in flags

Thanks for all the construction feedback dudes, I really appreciate it. I am very new to TIP and I know my fits will be shit in the beginning, that’s why I need your advices before going out in public with them.

If it’s any consolation for being an annoying faggot, I am the one who made the effay music thread which is still up afaik.

Anything wrong with wearing black or brown leather gloves depending on the shoes I'm wearing (I have only black and brown pairs)?
Both Gentlemen's Gazette and Simon Crompton shill for chamois yellow but I'm not a big fan.

[Anonymous No.14969394]

>>14969374
Nothing wrong with brown but black should be avoided at all costs, go with grey instead.

[Anonymous No.14969417]

don't get too autiste. your gloves or watch strap doesn't have to match belt and shoes

>twinks can't be /tip/

I have an underweight bmi and long curly hair somewhere between Tadzio curls and a Timothee Chalamet or Finn Wolfhard jew mop (but way lighter in colour)

am I going to make it lads? what's wrong with skinny trousers if you have skinny legs?

That would look retarded though. Class by Paul Fussell says that gloves are one of the items that you can have in black leather without it lowering your class.

No. You're a twink with faggot hair. Sorry. Maybe reddit would be a better place for you.

Don't get Skinny fit, go with Slim fit. If your legs get wider, go for Regular fit then
