So I recently bought a pea coat because I have always wanted one, are they still in fashion?

Gotta start somewhere.
What's up fashion-gaf.
Long time reader, first time poster.
I need some help, over the last year I have lost 100lbs (keto-gaf) and I need a new wardrobe very badly.
I'm looking for a few items in particular, but first let me tell you a bit about me.
6'-2" 300lbs stil a big dude, but I carry it well (wide shoulders, big all over, not so much of a gut) I find it hard to find clothes that fit and feel right.
I want
-winter vest (dont know what there really called)
-jeans (need to know what to look for in fits, to baggy I look sloppy, too tight and my legs looks like sausage casing)
-shirts (button down, comfy, I like flannel patterns)
And any other types of clothes that anyone could recommend that would look good on a Big dude, I know what I'm asking sounds demanding but I don't know what to do? I kinda know what I want, but have no idea where or what I'm looking for?
I guess the best way to describe my style would be "basic, not too flashy and comfertable"
Thanks in advance for any advice,

Saw this PS Paul Smith baseball jacket at Nordstrom's today. It's a great grey color with very minor purple detailing (around side zipper). Forgot to check the material, though I'm almost positive it was a wool blend.
Would've picked it up without question had it not been $700.

Just joined the great ranks of Clark's desert boots owners. Thanks Fashion-GAF.
I REALLY hope I ordered these in the right size.

Do you think this looks better in the black or the brown?

Brown, but they are both not that great looking, atleast to me.

Well I need one for my job that I wear a suit at and I don't want to spend more than about $100 and I've just been finding so many ugly ones. Is there a particular one you think is better?

Both of you look way too good for lazy Saturday outfits.

How do they fit compared to 514's? I'm a 514 guy but I've been meaning to check out 513's.

Yeah, I'm in a thermal shirt and underwear right now, and I mean, RIGHT NOW. Winter is here... which is why Igot this from yoox coming my way, general consensus seems to be to size up (based on measurements from various sites). Apparently started by an ex-designer for CP Company, they use a lot of technical and bonded fabrics. could be cool. i had to dig around a bit for info on this stuff since the yoox picture is sooo bad.

as long as they're paired with rick dunks it's ok
nice fit btw, are those the uu sweats?
just a bit less baggy on me. i was concerned that they might be too "skinny" or something but thats not the case at all. i love them. i am switching forever.
my lazy saturday outfit: adidas track pants. thats it. i scoff at your lazy saturday outfits
they are indeed

Around my neck, standard like. I don't really wear them unless it's cold as fuck, so they aren't much of a style accessory for me (I only have two)
Same here, usually wear in a European knot with pea coat.
I made a thread and it died....
Any advice for dressing for a casual outdoors wedding in the fall (texas fall, chilly but not super cold) without going broke?
Is a navy blazer with chinos and a tie too summer?
It an actress I work with's wedding, so I should make a good impressions, but my new job hasn't made me rich yet and the move was expensive.

Nah, thats pretty fallish too imo, but if a blazer is out of reach:
Cardigan Sweater+tie+slacks+brogue/dress shoes.

Nah, cardigans are on the dressier end of the spectrum. If you want to make it more fancy, just wear darker colors (burgundy, blue,etc) and a black bow tie.

H&M is probably easier to get, I would think. They both do slim fit stuff well.

I'm really clueless about fashion, but I want to improve my image in the work place. I have the confidence, just not the fashion sense to dress better.
Any good tips for a beginner? Just something professional looking. I mean, I have a tie and a suit, but outside of that I'm clueless. Does it matter that I'm short, or does simply looking good work well for all height?

cool cool
Picked up some stuff for fall/light winter wear.
Jacket, pretty basic wool coat. Really liked the fit on it as it is hard to find slim fitting jackets of this type for my frame that don't cost a shit ton of money. Plus it was 30% off. Not sure if I'll keep it, just haven't found a better fitting one yet.
Also ended up going with the Earthkeeper boots. Pretty comfortable after breaking them in over the past few days. Wanted something that I didn't mind if they get beat up by shitty Pittsburgh weather, plus they weren't too expensive.
New watch. Not really a watch wearer, outside of a cheapo timex that I use for while outdoors. Didn't want to spend a lot, so I got something that would look good semi dress up or casual as well.

an appreciation for the craftsmanship of the watch. i don't even like watches but i'll nod my head in approval when i see a nice one.

For the price I would always get Orient over Nixon just because of the craftsmanship.

If you're going to get your chinos from H&M, make sure you are either tall or know a tailor, because those things come super long

If it were a superior made watch that keeps good time and has great craftsmanship, I could understand it. If it were a fashion watch like a Michael Kors, or Kate Spade one, I don't get it. Those aren't even watch companies.

Ya, I'm not sure how people can pay so much for fashion company watches instead of like better name watch companies for the same price.
Bam Bam Baklava

Some people just want it to look nice and Michael Kors knows how to make a flashy ass watch. If I was loaded I would buy nothing but Patek Philippe.
Zaraki_Kenpachi

You're saying other major watch companies don't?
Bam Bam Baklava

Depends on the company I guess.
I'm not sure exactly how the deals work but I imagine they make a shit load of money on the items being sold through H&M to customers who want to buy something from Margiela but can't afford it, not from previously uninterested H&M costumers becoming interested in Margiela.
There isn't a person alive who'd buy a H&M collabo piece then suddenly be interested in the actual designer. The two things are nothing a like except in name. The quality of H&M is pure shit, even the designer collabos - if my first experience with Viktor & Rolf or Martin Margiela was through the H&M items, I'd be turned off for life.
