Oh, sweet then. I use Suddenlee if I want anything from Uniqlo, but that's because I live in Canada
So uhhm... am I in the right thread to ask about glove-sizing?
If so: Here's my issue: long and thin fingers/hands.
When going by the apparently usual sizing chart (measuring around the knuckles) I'd end up with a nice and snug fit in the palm, but my fingers would prefer an additional ~2 cm of glove-finger length.
I'd ideally also want gloves made of non-synthetic materials (inside out) and that are touchscreen compatible. And to top it off they should be available in Austria and cost not more than 100 euros. Any advice (at least with the sizing)?

Depends on the cords I guess. Some corduroys are basically jeans, and some are those silly "fat" cords. A proper pair should be good for business casual, I imagine though. Tie them off with a nice contrasting belt (like say, tan cords + dark brown leather belt + shirt/tie) and I think you've got a perfectly acceptable business casual outfit.

Hmm going shopping this weekend for winter stuff and I havent a clue where to start! I was pretty clued up for summer but then had to save money like crazy till this month so im not really uptodate atall!
Outfits I can wear with my boots are about all im after, while trying to avoid the massive influx of ugly "christmas" design jumpers kicking around.

(20 year old posting here) What's the GAF opinion on oversized beanies? I'm pretty close to buying this one, I think: http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=22645147&color=004&navAction=jump&itemdescription=true

What do you guys think?
Fake edit: Was originally 100, got it for around 60ish.
I got the same thing around a week ago.

this final collection of +J at Uniqlo has some nice coats/jackets, I'd definitely check it out.
Gant is right across 5th ave from the new Uniqlo, Gant and Gant Rugger have nice coats.
Bloomingdale's mens department will have a variety of designer coats.
if you were coming earlier in the week you could check out the Surface to Air sample sale... more for me. actually this'll be a SS11 sale so there might not be any decent jackets.

I really need some new shoes, but I'm so indecisive. I find a nice pair of wingtips, but as I'm about to order them, I see some chukkas that I want equally. I can't decide which ones to get, and in the process of figuring it out, I find some amazing desert boots. A few minutes later, boat shoes. Etc. Argh.

Anyone who ordered from JackTheads has anything to say about sizes? I'm thinking of ordering this cardigan, but I don't see much else that interests me though. I'm not even sure I'll bother actually.
Today I got my jacket from Macys, and I had ordered a plaid shirt with it, both Small in size. The jacket is perfectly fine, but the plaid shirt looks like what I'd expect from a large, not a small. I hate how fucked up sizes are from one company to another, and size charts are bullshit.
This is really what has made me really hesitant about buying any clothes online for a while now, especially since I'm in Canada and shipping charges are often high.

Yeah, don't order Buffalo. Buffalo is made for large men and their sizes are HUGE. I once picked out a size small shirt and it fit like a large. Never again. But I guess that could be said about department store stuff, in general.Ether_Snake said:
Most of the stuff on JackThreads is tailored for slim-fit men, just like Gilt, etc.

Actually the jacket is from Buffalo, and it was a size small and perfectly fine, but the plaid shirt was from another company, sized Small, and huge. That's what I meant. At least it didn't cost me much.
I remember S-sized stuff from Express.com is also too big. I can't imagine people having no other option than wearing oversize clothes. And then sometimes you have XS, but again no way to no in advance if this time XS = S, or if it will be too small.

What cut do you get? I bought a few of them for work since I don't really care about quality / fashionz while I'm there. The MX1 fitted is pretty damn slim.

If you're willing to spend that much I can point you towards better brands. Not too impress by what I saw on their site.
Express shirts are way too long on me. Even at Banana Republic I have to get a Small because otherwise it's too baggy in the chest and arms.Ether_Snake said:
Basically, it pays off for me to shop at stores geared towards slim-fit people. The average department store caters to the generic fat American and their sizes are messed as a result.

I tried on an XS slim fit at Express a few weeks ago and the length was absurd. The shirt was literally 6-8 inches longer than anything else I've ever seen.
I have some new chinos/corduroys for sale that don't fit me:

Good evening GAF, hope everyone's doing well on this fine halloween night.
I was hoping someone could steer me in the direction of a nice, maroon zip up hoodie. I've been searching for something of that sort with no luck -- all the ones I find are a bit too plain, baggy, etc. Something like this(which I own and love) but in a maroon-ish color.

I ordered a sweater from JackThreads in medium and it was the longest shirt I've ever purchased, it actually went all the way to down to my mid thigh. On the website, their models are like 6" or 6"1' wearing a medium, and I'm only a couple of inches shorter -- not sure what the story was there.Ether_Snake said:

Hey guys, I'm starting to think about fashion more, especially business casual fashion, and I got this topcoat(or whatever I'm supposed to call them) 2 years ago for my birthday. Now I'm somewhat concerned that it looks clueless. Keep in mind I wear this with business casual, typically button shirts with no tie. It's kind of like this: http://www.amazon.com/Single-Breasted-Luxury-Length-Topcoat/dp/B001IAI7LA/ref=pd_sbs_a_2
Cool, awful, or depends?
EDIT: Otherwise, do you have any advice on business casual winter coats? Not too hipster, not too conservative, you know.

Ahh ok. Best to measure the inseam of a pant you like then just to be double sure about how long you're getting them. I usually take measurements of different pants and then write them down so I can easily refer to them.

Sleeves look like would cover your entire hand and then some too.

Leather looks ok, and you can pretty cheaply shorten the sleeves assuming there are no buttons.
Palladium boots are nice as casual street/outdoor boots, just don't try to wear them in a formal or dressed up manner. They're kind of like chucks in that regard.

cut the sleeves? that would look janky especially since the rest of the jacket has finished seams._Isaac said:

They are on the cheap end of the spectrum but are fairly solid. I haven't worn a pair in a number of years but from what I recall they aren't disappointing in the least bit.

Just saw an article today about Uniqlo wanting to be the Apple Store of clothes and they're hoping to open up to 200 stores nationwide in the near future. So, keep a look out for that shit people!
Also, what's the best way to clean white canvas converse? Magic eraser?

yeah I just wash them and let em air dry. though i think white chucks look best beaten the fuck up (within reason of course)
Anyone know similar jackets to the Quantum of Solace Bond Jacket, except a bit less cheaper (100-200) range. Doesn't have to be as good as quality, but looks closely related
Ships to Canada too hopefully please
