J.Crew has a 30% off coupon for all items. Very tempted to get the Alden 405s. Down to $360 after discount.

(Some nice Barbour jackets on sale as well).

hate to burst your bubble, those discounts never apply to the 3rd party stuff.

**and it looks like it is actually working on these, so i'd say pull the trigger on a good deal while it is there.

Usually not, but this one does. I see the discount reflected in my shopping cart. Free shipping as well.

**Just saw your edit.

Nah, I've seen it work before

5'11 - 200 or so. I wear mediums in my polos, but larges in other stuff. It's weird. My Banana Republic jacket is a medium and just a tad too tight.

Hmm. I'm 6'1" and just under 200. I wear a Large in T shirts and a Medium in collared shirts. Again, my pea coat is Medium and fits perfectly. That's me though. Sizing online can be silly.

Is this the brown bomber you were talking about? If so, looks good. Might be a tad big but I like to obsess about those things.

Looks red

It is. The picture makes it look longer than it is but for the most part it fits like a glove.

Looks red

If only it was red. I would be rocking that shit like thriller.

What's your price range? Right now one of my favorite, decently priced options are the Nordstrom's Calibrate shirts. They're a Nordstrom's brand, but they come in both slim and trim fits (which is even slimmer than slim), and have very little baggage in back when tucked in, which is what I assume your problem is. Usually retail for $60. Outside of that, Ted Baker is a pretty decent, somewhat affordable option.

Thanks a lot, I'll give that a look when I hit the strip tomorrow. That sort of price range seems reasonable to me. Any other suggestions would be appreciated, but I'll be looking for a tailor in my area as well.

Who the fuck bids heavily five days out? Now you've basically guaranteed that this guy will be sitting at his computer refreshing the auction as the timer winds down to zero.

Make one bid, at the absolute maximum you'd be willing to pay, at < 5 seconds before the auction ends.

I just intended to test whether the very low prices on most of the items were actually indicative of interest with a low bid or two, but it very quickly became clear that there was a bid in place way above what I was going to go to. Hence angrily.

Is Uniqlo gonna restock their shit online? All the good stuff has been sold out for weeks.

Hurricane Sandy messed up their logistics- it'll probably be a few more weeks before it's fully back to normal.

Yeah, I ordered about $200 worth of stuff from them the day the online store opened, and the entire order was destroyed before they could ship it to me.

 

[Horse Detective]

I have never ordered from Uniqlo, what is so great about them?

 

[Alucrid]

cheap decent basics. i'm wearing their heattech leggings and my balls are toastayy

They have a really cool website that automatically shifts the items over when you resize the page. Also, their stuff feels nice and is cheap enough that I can afford it.

 

[bob page]

Cheap + good quality (for the price). I buy most of my undershirts there (they fit awesome), their slim dress shirts are great for $30, and their down coats are a great value.

ie. if you're on a budget, it's a top choice.

 

[bowery]

the heattech leggings are awesome indeed wearing mine now too teehee

 

[Alucrid]

the uniqloxundercover easy jacket is so dope too

 

[freenudemacusers]

I got some smartwool dress socks today. Between this and shearling boots, feet will be nice and toasty.

 

[coldvein]

how much were they? whenever i buy smart wool sox theyre like $20 a pair :\
i need some cheaper smartwool

 

[freenudemacusers]

They were $20, I got two pairs. ;( got them locally from the place that's altering my caban coat. I'll wear these around a bit and see how I like them before I dig through the internets for cheaper options.

 

[zethren]

What do y'all rock for socks

I have a bunch of rather inexpensive argyle and plaid socks that I just match up with whatever else I'm wearing.

Also solid gray and black socks. White everyday socks for when I'm lazing around my house.

I want this. Can anyone find an ebay seller for this item?

I found this seller, which is offering similar styles but cant seem to find this jacket

[thezerofire]

don't buy ebay china clothes, they don't look like that in real life

does anyone have the /fa/ pics about it?

 

[Joel Was Right]

Damn. Is there a label for these items? Cant seen to find any. Google image search only returns results from other online resellers. These jackets must exist somewhere...

 

[thezerofire]

they only exist on ebay

 

[CFMOORE!]

never buy those lame things from the asian ebay sellers. they're pinned all to hell and will never look like that on you. just forget they exist.

 

[Joel Was Right]

My friend from Asia just replied back to me. He recommends this site, its pretty popular in Korea and they seem to have similar jacket styles

that really doesn't change much. stylistically, the items themselves aren't insanely horrible, some are though, problem comes from the lying in how they present the clothes. that would be the only reason i would say stay away. also, in these particular cases i would probably safely assume the cheap prices indicate poor build quality. there is no need to spend hundreds on a sweater, but at least buy from companies/people not lying about fit.

[coldvein]

i understand this fashion related joke

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'm surprised so many people want these chinese ebay clothes. They look like something an anime character would wear.

i hope it's a harem anime

 

[zethren]

i hope it's a harem anime

One of dem harems full of dudes, where the one socially awkward teen girl who just can't get a boyfriend due to her otaku-ness has to spend her entire summer because it was the dying wish of a wealthy distant uncle.

Not a good harem.

 

[SpaceBridge]

Need advise: picked up a beige fitted blazer from Top Shop. What colored dress shirt should I wear under it? I was thinking of a dark blue to contrast the beige, and then accessorizing with a dark grey infinity scarf. For pants, I'm wearing dark denim and beige/sand color Clark's.

Thoughts?

 

[zethren]

Don't wear a dark blue shirt with dark denims.

Any neutral color lighter than the blazer would be fine for your shirt. You can even wear a white/off white shirt and I think it would look good with that outfit.

Oooo, grab a chocolate brown vest and wear it underneath the blazer with a white shirt. Would look nice with that outfit. Random suggestion lol.

You have to be insanely thin to wear most of those. And they don't last that long.

Suits over at least 60k won are okay but under that nope.

we're a harem

They exist, they just don't look anything like what they look like in the photos.

Honestly dude, this is fashion advice 101 and really should be in the title of the thread, don't ever buy clothes from those asian ebay sites. They're the worst of the worst.

that really doesn't change much. stylistically, the items themselves aren't insanely horrible, some are though, problem comes from the lying in how they present the clothes. that would be the only reason i would say stay away. also, in these particular cases i would probably safely assume the cheap prices indicate poor build quality. there is no need to spend hundreds on a sweater, but at least buy from companies/people not lying about fit.

Basically this.

And this.

 

[LeroyPantwether]

5'11

36-37' chest

27'-28' waist

Don't listen to those that say these are pinned to hell, don't look like that etc. It actually looks very similar and quality wise is fine for the cost - think primark.

Source - I OWN THE EXACT SAME JACKET (took a punt as it was so cheap and it actually turned out ok!)

 

[Salazar]

Signal for rational folks to depart while folks are wrong about shit.

Saying that jacket isn't pinned to hell is slipping the bonds of fluffily subjective discussion.

Gotta be trolling.

 

[Apeopleman]

He's not trolling,

I actually have purchased a cotton jacket once, and it was the same fit as the picture. My only advice is to not buy pleather from asia. Everything else (cotton, leather, lycra) is fine.

Also to the person who wanted a very slim dress shirt, I just ordered 1 of this http://www.ebay.com/itm/28102140368...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 due to its cheapness, vividness of color (I got athens blue) and just to see how well they really fit. Hey, if its a shitty shirt, oh well I'm out 12 bucks, no big deal. If I like it, I'll probably get alot of them since the colors look really nice
