stings, brah
in the pic i'm wearing a brian dales shirt and mauro grifoni pants. sweater is pringle of scotland (also good for midly off kilter things) pretty much my two primary go-to's for good, ahem, biz caz goods.
brian dales stuff is pretty good, but the shirts are the standouts: they fit excellently, use hand-attached shoulders, crow's foot stitching on the buttons and some hand finishing in various places. the white ones I have came with a pocket square in the same fabric. they're pretty cheap on yoox I think.
mauro grifoni is pretty much the same deal, i like the fit of the pants. the shirts are nice too, just not as superlative for the $ as dales imo.
other things I wear in this category: marc jacobs, margiela, stephan schneider, tonello, and patrizia pepe. the last three make some pretty slim stuff.
edit: i see bonobos is trying to kill off color blocking.
Thanks, I think I saw Mauro Grifoni pants on Yoox, will go check em out again.
So I picked up an Our Legacy suit from Mr. Porter during the recent drops. Pretty happy with the fit, but the jacket seems to be a hair short. Looking at all the models from the various web shops that also carry it, I think this is by design.
Basically, the front of the jacket reaches the joint of my thumb closest to my palm when my arms are naturally at my side. It doesn't cover the entirety of my backside, but it's close. I work in academia, so the dress code is nonexistent. Considering this, should I keep it or am I breaking some suiting golden rules? Looking at the MC side of other forums, people seem to be pretty hardline about jacket length.

I suppose for a suit 'purist' but really that's how it's styled and supposed to be.
So I am going to a wedding on July 26th and I need a new suit. Jacket and pants and I figure I might as well live the accompanying shirt, tie etc
here is the one slight problem:
I really wanted a Canali suit , but our family's Men's tailor/clothier doesn't carry Canali fabric/suits.
The tailor/owner is coming on Tuesday to my house to measure me and he thinks that a Cohen suit from Montréal might work best
Agh, I left it too late and now I might "suffer" the consequences.

FYI, that Express end of season sale is pretty damn good if you're looking for some cheap, slim fit clothes. Just bought a suit for $150. I plan on wearing it to work, so as long as it lasts me a good little while, I'll consider it a good investment.
What's the quality of Express stuff like?

GAF, any suggestions for some summer shoes?
I don't want to wear socks but sometimes flip flops don't cut it

Is anyone else drawn to ugly/gaudy floral patterns?

So how do I pull off boat shoes (Sperrys specifically)? Just non-cargo light khaki shorts and a polo?

Not the greatest quality, but passable when it's on sale. The fit, though, is usually on point. I like their fitted button up shirts for work. They usually look great and keep their color for a decent amount of time, although I get mine dry-cleaned every few weeks.

Are you talking about Hawaiian shirts?

No, I think those are generally pretty horrible. I've been looking at some of the stuff on bonobos, and they have some pretty funky shit that I'm compelled to buy for some reason.

Hi, I've never posted in this thread before but I thought I'd ask for some advice. I'm looking to buy a man's bag to carry some of my things with me to work. My work attire is a full suit everyday so it'd have to work with that. Any ideas? Would prefer to not spend over $300
Thanks!
Thanks!
There have been some glorious leather/canvas briefcases posted in the thread earlier.
Going traveling soon and going to skimp on check in luggage so I need a big bag for carry on. Any suggestions, peeps? Or do I have to give in and buy a Country Road bag (they're a pretty common sight in Australia).
that's how I do it when I'm not in the office.
Really though, Sperrys work with anything casual. chinos, shorts, jeans. Just remember NO SOCKS!

Pulling off Sperrys is exactly what you should do.
Love the Billykirk schoolboy satchel: http://needsupply.com/mens/brands/billykirk/schoolboy-satchel-black.html
Whatever you get make sure it is (quality) leather.

Shirts:
- Polo
- Oxford with sleeves rolled up
- Frocket tee
- Graphic tank
- Chino (aka: non-cargo) shorts
- Boardshorts
- Khaki slacks
And the more pastel colors and coordination, the better.
Where did you pick up the side zips?
Styleforum's b/s/t, they were "third hand" but pretty much brand new since everyone before only tried them on. (MMM btw)
lol oh shiiiiiit
Yeah, I've been keeping an eye out for some grey Margiela boots during this sale season with no luck. Are those Rick cargo pants?
Ah, I think I remember seeing some grey suede ones on sale somewhere. Might have been La Garconne, ssense or thecorner. Can't remember exactly.
And yeah, they're drkshdw cargos, sending back and buying a size smaller though
Although the fit is a great change from my normal skinny jeansOh stop. Good lord.
Sperrys will be a prep staple long after you fashionistas finally get tired of them. Honestly, that day can't come quick enough!
I enjoy boat shoes whilst on my sailboat, once I step off said sailboat I transition into my rafstros.
Disclaimer: I own neither boat shoes, nor sailboat nor rafstros.

Cool, thanks. Did you go TTS on the drkshdw and are now sizing down one?

Those boot are ugly as all hell. Imo ofcourse.
Everlane Weekender is real nice and much bigger than I expected, even after seeing the shots of it with the model.
I went with a M since the waist was said to be 30", but I guess they don't measure it fully stretched out so I'm now going with a S for TTS.

I personally hate brown leather sneakers. 2nd pair are ok, but I don't think a high rise wing tip brogue boot will go very far. (note: I'm a traditionalist)
Desert boots it is for the time being then.
