Nerds who can't afford Italian fabrics wearing tuxes three sizes too big with pleated pants will definitely be in trouble.

I suddenly want a Tom Ford suit.
I have also wanted that Skyfall Bond jacket, a bit pricey though and I can be damn sure it won't look that good on me.
Where do you guys (sans Lunchbox) get solid, slim fit polos? I like having a few on hand just for throwing on, but the few I have (since switching to button ups for work, thanks Manshion Gaf) are a bit baggier than I'd like.

I only have one Polo Ralph Lauren polo but its quality and fit are much better than any of the other polos I own. I don't have that many to begin with though. J Crew also makes some nice polos, but I find the PRL polos are more impressive.
PRL also makes some damn nice chinos.

I probably promote them too much on here but Massimo Dutti really has some of the best polo's I've work.
I also like Polo (sans logo) and JCrew is alright. All should be decent budget, especially at outlet stores.

I don't mind the Polo logo as long as it's not obnoxiously large.

I think I grew up with too many kids in my neighborhood that all they would ever wear was clothes with Polo logo's on it and it just turned me off. Can't stand people who wear clothes strictly for a visible logo (big or small). But regardless their Polo's are very nice and I have quite a few... I just make sure to only wear them once a week.

Way ahead of you on Animal Crossing. I have a yellow gingham shirt. I have no idea how to take photos though.
Thanks. Those Massimo Dutti ones aren't actually to bad for price right now. My issue is always whether to get medium or large, I switch between both depending on brand. I hate returning stuff by mail if I can help it.
EDIT: Damn, the Dutti slim fit shirts are all sold out in M/L.

Today I learned that I'm an XS in suit jackets, which blew my mind. Do blazer sizes generally translate over to other clothing sizes? I'm about to drop some serious cash on an old Dior Homme jean jacket, and I'd like to make sure it fits me as it was intended to first.
outside of the northeast, socal has the second highest gross income
so uniqlos target demographic isnt there

Crazy at how fast this jacket sells out whenever it's available to buy... I own a Bedale in olive and got a matching sykoil hood. Coupled with some light brown cords & similar colored blue sweater that I got on sale from J. Crew, I had a look similar to what was shown in Skyfall. Hell, the Bedale alone is probably my most expensive jacket that I own but I'll easily get so much usage out of it - it's handled the pouring rain like a champ and keeps me pretty warm without an inner liner.

Just ordered a $500 retail Calvin Klein suit for $130. Ebay is great when you can find what you're looking for for cheap
Why aren't your suit jackets measured by chest and arm length?

What an XS is in suits varies dramatically so I'm not sure you'll get a solid answer; is your suit size a 36-38? What brand are you wearing? Generally speaking, 36-38 is a small/medium (at most depending on cut); An Abboud 36 is going to fit much differently than a Canali or Armani 36, and even then it depends on what cut/line in the brand itself. The structure of a suit is so much different than something like a jean jacket; however being that a jean jacket usually has thinner fabric and less parts you'll probably be alright.
Your question about a suit size translating over to other clothing sizes, though, is difficult. I'd say that it's a decent ballpark figure to abide by if you have no other specific measurements or if you don't understand clothing (or body) structure that well, but no more than that; they can be way off depending on cuts.

I know, it's crazy. I'm not even particularly small, at around the upper end of 5' 11''. I'm just very lithe. On the bright side, a 44 is what all the Dior Homme models used to wear on the runway, so I guess I have the ideal Dior Homme body type, which for me is great.
I was trying on one of the skinny Burberry London suits.

I wear anything from an XS to a M depending on the brand, even then that can change depending on the item or season.
44 is a 34 is an XS.

Jason Statham is my new favourite fashion icon.
Masculine, simple, yet elegant, classy and casual. And easy to mirror/adopt.
Also, I think loose butterflies will become trendy in the future imo.

Repping team untucked for casual Friday. I need more of this style of shirt. Got this one at H&M in Kansas City, but this was all they had. Any idea where to get more of these very light button-ups? It's like 100% cotton or something.
i think i can make this work with my fedora

That's an interesting combo. Hope it works out for you. I would never be able to pull that of with a fedora. Or be seen with a fedora for that matter.
i find that fedoras tend to be masculine, simple, yet elegant, classy and casual. and easy to mirror/adopt. i get tons of compliments on mine.

Yes, that's what I meant. It's been a while since I slept.
That dude def doesn't have a 44" chest though.Saint Laurent/aka new dior homme:
I hope this isn't fat in your world

Well the assumption is when talking about european clothing that we use the european sizing scale.
I don't know. I do know that suit jacket sizes are measured by chest sizes though. Sure, it won't be an exact fit since tailoring is different. But it's a general guideline to start with. A 44R (American) will correspond to a guy with a pretty large chest.
Yes, this was the confusion.Well the assumption is when talking about european clothing that we use the european sizing scale.

I just received a jacket that I bought from Mastrom (thanks mac)
The quality is great, a lot of attention to details. You can't tell from the picture, but the fabric is kinda shiny, which was a great surprise. The fit is just perfect.
Last week I got this one from Soul Revolver...
Best leather jacket ever The blue color is so gorgeous. I love the vintage style.
Despite the tonsillitis that left me in bed for almost four days, I feel great (my wallet not so much).

looks dope
oveja glad to be of service bb. there are a lot of italian brands out there like ma.strum that do sort of minimal-utility clothes like that. esemplare has some interesting nylon stuff on yoox right now, apparently it's filament-dyed metallic stuff or something that's supposedly superlight weight and bulletproof. if they drop in price a bit I'll grab one just to see what it's like.
