Something like this:
I have been looking on various sites for suits and I've seen some that I like, but they're pretty expensive. I guess what I am trying to ask is where I can find an affordable suit like this? Probably something that's $300 or less.

I am a 42 Regular last time I checked about a year ago. I don't think I have changed much, if at all.
Anyway, I'm just gonna browse around this site. I've already found some pretty slick deals, so thanks man.

go cray. retail ~$1200. Half-canvassed. Regular sizing but trim in fit, has a nice v shape and slim silhouette without going to far in either direction.
yeah i'm beating that ckc drum dealwithit.gif

Yeti the look you're going for isn't so much about the suit as it is the sizing of it. The model in the picture looks like he sized down by at least a size if not two. Have you tried this?Something like this:

I'd recommend going to your retailer of choice and trying on a couple different sizes of suits and see which gets you the closest to the picture. However, make sure you try on brands that you're actually interested in since they always differ in size and cut (I'm a 40R in Hugo Boss but can't fit a 40R Paul Smith jacket).
Okay I really like these... But I can't justify spending $120 on sunglasses.Thoughts on these? I think they look sharp. Probably get more comments here than the thread I made:

Might be worth it if it's a one-time lifetime purchase...
Hahahahahahahahahaha, they'll probably break if I bought them
Are car coats basically like trench coats but shorter?

120 is actually on the lower end of fancy sunglasses.

I saw the prices for Persols and Oliver People glasses and nearly had a heart attack.
Meh. I have knock-off raybands that I got for $15. I would spend maybe $50 at the most on a real pair, but not $120+. The markup is ridiculous.
That's like two videogames bro

They're worth it. I bought the all black frame last month to alternate with my pair of Oakley Gas Cans and I've completely relegated the Oakleys to my work or workout sunglasses. These RB's work with anything, even a simple get up such as cargo shorts + t shirt.
They're quite durable as well. I just keep them in my Oakley bag and throw them into my backpack and as long as you don't get your backpack run over, they'll be fine.

Anywho, anymore jackets today? Anyone have deals?

If you're fine with polyester and not 100% wool, try H&M. Their dress stuff is actually pretty good for the money. I found a navy blazer there for $70 recently and the fit is better than anywhere else I've seen for the money (fit is just like the blazer in the picture above). It'll only last a year or two probably, but if you're on a budget, definitely check them out.
Also, J Crew Factory. Their Thompson suit is a trim fit- not as slim as some- but it's great quality at around $200 during their sales (coat + pants).

well, some of the runway stuff is questionable, it's just that nobody really talks about the label much. The business clothes are great.

oh i just consider runway stuff as prototypes for retail generally and agreed, their business clothes are good shit, especially their silk ties <3
Nice jacket. You always looks sharp in all your photos.
Cool thanks, I'm buying from the UK site anyway. What is the procedure after you get the jeans? Never wash it, not even once?
Thanks, wouldn't take pictures otherwise lol
Nah, I just wash them when needed or when I feel like it. Don't think that if you wash them they'll be ruined or something. Granted I probably wouldn't wash them every week or something like that.

Dear gaffers, here's me again, seeking for your help.
Like a year ago I bought two pairs of Levi's (537 Slim Boot) that, for me, are by far the best pair of jeans when it comes to fit. Seriously, it's like Levi's used me as the model to create them
The thing is, one of the pair is the typical dark blue jeans, while the other one, is noticeable darker and the finish is... I don't know... waxed (I know it isn't, but it's the best term that comes to my mind right now).
When you look at the fabric very closely, you can see half of the threads are indeed coated and it feels much less coarse than the average jeans and also are very stiff. As far as I can tell, the thickness is just normal.
The sad part is I wanted to buy more of the same, but I'm unable to find them. Even the salesperson who sold them to me doesn't even remember that particular model.
I'm providing you with three pictures:
Here you can see three jeans, from left to the right, the first two are the same model, number 1 I've been wearing it for like a year, number 2 is in new condition and the third is the mysterious one.
Here I think you have a better close up and it's more noticeable the finish and stiffness
The third, just because.
It would be nice if some of you denim connoisseur give me some hint about the subject.
Another last denim question...
I'm about to buy my first "real" pair of denim: APC Petit Standard.
According your experiencie, if I'm 30, what's the size that I need to buy? 29 or 28? (consider that I'm a very slim guy).
Cheers.

Yeah I got one too. It's basically 50% off Amazon's price. Went with the red/gray band.
Target sells other bands for $7ish if you want to swap it out eventually.

I need a new jacket for fall/winter (something good for rain and very occasionally snow). Any recommendations? I know little about clothes, so not sure what I'm seeking. I need a jacket that would look equally good with a dress shirt and tie with nice pants, as it would with a t-shirt or plaid buttoned shirt or jeans. Not searching for a trench coat, don't want a jacket that's too long, maybe mid-thigh would be good. Been looking at some field jackets, but I dunno. I'm trying to upgrade my wardrobe a bit from my older stuff, so still fumbling my way through this.

Really not a fan of the duffle coat, hahaha.
I was considering pea coat, but I'm a pretty big guy as is, pea coats would make me look even bulkier.
you are terrible

I don't think the 537 are made anymore, or at least they're not on Levi's site. What you might be talking about are jeans that are labeled as 'rigid' though. As for you jean size take measurements of jeans that fit you, compare them to measurements on APCs online and take into account for about 2 inches of stretch in the waist.
nice! just picked up the grey/red band one. I wish it had a white face, but alas. 17 bucks for a knockaround watch?

Got some Tim hamilton shirts from yoox.
Fabric is great, finish is nice, cut is shiiiittt. Weird shoulder shape, and the shirt is pretty much straight cut from top to bottom, so it is essentially like wearing a sack. I really wanted them to work, too.
Just letting yall know so you dont waste time, cuz the price is tempting right now.

Duffle coats look weird. Don't like those straps that go across the coat.
toggles are awesome

id probably mock you too if you were wearing a duffle in socal weather

Nope, duffels are awesome as winter coats. Plenty of people wear them up here in NorCal (particularly in the Bay Area) and I've seen several people wear them while I've been in LA during winter.
After all, when it does rain, it's nice having a thick woolen coat with a hood versus a peacoat. Not to mention toggles are much easier than buttons when your fingers are cold.

anyone know where to get an affordable bead bracelet like this?
the bracelet brand in the pic is a viola milano for those interested, but i believe it's probably out of my price range
I wear these http://kangalex.com/shop.
Can also find a lot on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/search?q=mens bead bracelet&view_type=gallery&ship_to=ZZ&min=0&max=0
Oh, and on Asos (but these are kinda cheapy) http://us.asos.com/Men-Jewelry/veys...=1451&parentID=Rf900&pge=0&pgeSize=20&sort=-1
