by the way, Army/Navy Surplus stores have great peacoats for about $140. I think they're Schott or Sterlingwear, one of the two
Well, I've tried on a pair for shits and giggles but that's about it.

How do you guys feel about zip-up sweaters? Tacky or OK? My dad bought me a really nice wool sweater from Brooks Brothers that kind of looks like this, but it zips all the way up the front instead of being a pullover v-neck

edit: and by zip-up I don't mean the quarter-zips that go down a few inches. This one goes down all the way to the bottom of the sweater, and has double zippers.

Question about pea coats:
I am looking to buy one as it's freaking cold and they look great. Looking to buy this one from Express. I like the short versions, but I will most likely be wearing it with a suit somewhat often. Would the short version be too short for wear with a suit jacket?
Also, suggestions on color would be great.

I think that would look weird with a suit jacket. I'd suggest buying a top coat if you're going to wear it with a suit jacket.
maybe something like this: http://www.express.com/wool-blend-topcoat-41054-831/control/page/24/show/3/index.pro

Ah, I worried the pea coat would be too casual. Do you think a nice trench coat would suffice as well?
I know I posted about this earlier, but I really need a website to buy clothes from. I got linked to some last time, but as a Canadian I get raped on shipping and duties and tariffs. any websites where I could get some quality clothing at a reasonable price (I'm a student just so you know) without getting ripped off on shipping?

Whoa, welcome back Vox-pop!
picked this up on ebay. i piece random things together lol. i think i'll try to look presentable next year.
I love this. I've never ordered clothes online as I like to try things on first but at that price, it's worth a punt!

Picked up a pair of black leather Frank Wright combat-ish boots recently and am liking how comfortable and versatile they are. Depending on what I've got on, I can wear them over my pants laced all the way up, laced halfway and partially unzipped so the top part of the boot splays out a bit, or cuff my jeans a bit and pull them down over the boot when I'm not wearing anything too skinny (not very often).
Would like a brown pair of boots eventually, too, but I'm waiting for something reasonably priced that also catches my eye visually. Not really into the usual Aldens, chukkas, or whatever. These red and gold Doc Martins are pretty rad, but probably too chunky for what I'm after right now.
I'm digging these, although the chunky back pockets combined with that fabric looks pretty unforgiving to a person's form. You'd better have a real pancake ass to pull these off, heh!

If anyone is interested, I got a 30% off everything code from Très Bien Shop to give out to a friend. I already used mine to pick up a pair of MIJ black APC Petit Standards for under $130 shipped, so I'll post this if anyone wants it:
. Even though I'm in the US, shipping usually only takes a few days and I haven't been hit with customs.

Having trouble deciding on a parka. I'm not sure whether I want something lightweight or not. And also whether to play it safe with a dark blue or go a little more adventurous/traditional with a green. The last two aren't parkas but I like them anyway.
What brand is that? I tried to tineye it but came up with nothing.

Tineye is dog shit. Use Google Image Search.

Selected. They make some really nice looking stuff. I think they're Danish. They have a website that has a sale on at the moment, but here's the link I was using:

I'm going to be getting that one eventually by the way.
Technically, button-down shirts (aka shirts with little buttons holding down the collar) aren't worn under suits or with ties.
But I guess nobody would kill you for that....
Pics would indeed be helpful, but I guess burgundy would work while being a bit boring. I'm not too sure about plain brown, though... Assuming the suit and shirt are plain I'd probably throw in a patterned tie (where brown could be one if the colors).
Oh, and twill is a kind of weave pattern, but that's all I know.

I had a pair for awhile. Probably around 6 months. I liked it...till I moved over and got a pair of Dry Bones and PBJ's.

Anyone know about these outerwear coats? Found it on a wholesaler but some of them especially the grey appeals to me..
http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale-coa...mw2WlNCMGVYQmw%3D-OjpXRmhN/c014001003001.html
I ordered the very same jacket like 6 months ago. In short: make yourself a favor and don't buy it. The quality is plain and simple bad. The fabric feels extremely cheap, thin and hence... its warm factor is pretty much equal to zero.
Also, with those koreans clothes, a lot of times the zipper is sharp as hell, like a knife (I'm not kidding).
This one, as the one posted by DMPrince can be found at a site called YesStyle.
In total, through a span of a year I ordered like 10 items from Yesstyle, from casual shirts and hoodies to a couple of jackets, from different brands, expecting to find one of them decent. I totally fail at that.
It's a shame that the quality is so crappy, cause I think a lot of what you see there is very stylish.
On a side note, it's mindblowing how small asian guys are. Usually I'm medium size for everything. In Asia, it seems I'm XL, LOL.
The good: items are so cheap that I'm not even mad at wasting my money.
Good enough for Wilbon, good enough for me.

Excuse my ignorance, but who is Wilbon? I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not : /
Michael Wilbon on PTI. He wears those things all the time. I think they're fine. A collar that buttons up is probably a little bit classier, but the zip collar has a youthful feel that is also cool.

zip sweaters aren't my thing (i am boring and essentially wear only v necks or crews) but if they fit well it should be OK. Like draft said it skews young and more casual.

Ok, I took some pictures. I apologize for the quality, I have no idea how to use my sister's camera so pics came out... strange. To me, anyways.
Here's the grey shirt, navy suit, and a bunch of ties I threw there to see what matches. Only reason I'm hesitant to wear the red striped tie is because it's narrower than the other ties, so I'm worried it'd look weird. I'll put the images in quotes cause I don't want to fill the page with giant images of crap. Ignore the game of Risk on my bed.

I apologize for the bump, but I'd like to figure what would look best, since I need to suit up tomorrow. Will my tiny collar buttons shirt look terrible? Should I just go with a standard white shirt? Only reason I don't wanna wear the regular white shirt is cause that's my standard go-to and I'd like to try something new.
I rock ties with button down collars all the time; it looks fine. Though, I never have with a suit; then again I don't ever wear suits.
I think the burgundy tie might look the best considering what you have to work with...the colours in the photos don't really help, and it's always easier to see the combination in person.
I kinda like the checkered tie in the last pic. At the first glance not exceptional color-wise, but I love clear contrasts.
The striped tie could work, depending on your body size/build, but the colors are a bit strange in the pic.
The only one that totally sucks is the pale checkered one. Not a bad tie per se, but the colors don't combine with the suit and shirt.
The burgundy one would be your safest bet I guess.
IMHO there has to be at least one splash of color or pattern to make an outfit interesting, even something as formal as suit and tie.
Take all that with a grain of salt, but I hope this helps a bit
So I'm trying to upgrade my wardrobe, I was very hip hop influenced ( Somewhat baggy Jeans etc ), in my early college years and my wardrobe still reflects that, I wear lots of T Shirts and sweaters that don't really look all that great together, kind of un-cordinated. I wanna have a somewhat cleaner look ( Do clothes from H&M count as clean?), but I want to avoid shopping at online retailers because I usually pick the wrong sizes.
Can anyone recommend shops other then H&M?
I have these stores in my local mall, but honestly don't even know where to start. I'm 22 and don't have any professional obligations in the near future so please no suits, etc! Just casual stuff.

Got my first pair of big boy boots:
Cheap Aldo boots. They're pre-broken in, which I don't really care for, but they look quite nice in person despite feeling a little cheapish (stitching isn't all that nice, mostly). But hey, they weren't pricey ($80), so I can't complain too much. As for the price, keep in mind I'm in Canada and the local selection is limited.
Big step up from my ugly ass Skechers.

So many stores whose fashion I disapprove of. :\
I'd steer you to KC, BB, RL, and Lacoste, but I may be too preppy for you... what's the style you're looking for? "Casual" is far too broad, partner.
I'm not exactly sure what to call it, Looks like these
Hip Hop Hipsterish?
Button Ups
More Button Ups
Jacket combo
Layers
Those are probably the best examples I could find, for what I'm trying to go for.
I'd love to shop from that JackThreads store but without getting myself measured would be hard to get exact fits.

Ah, then you should step into Kenneth Cole and Burberry and start there. At least for layers and buttons.

I just moved to Shanghai, and the holy grail of affordable fashionable clothes is here: the fabric market. There are 4 floors of custom tailors and you can haggle to your heart's content. You can bring in any magazine tear-out and they can replicate that exact coat for a good price. You pick the fabric, colors, buttons, cuts, etc.
People go here mainly for coats, but you can get fitted shirts and pants.
I've already made a light-gray peacoat that I love... but I am asking for INSPIRATION!

I ordered mine a couple of days ago. Will give my thoughts when it comes through.
Both ways can look good, but IMO the cuff should be about 4 cm long.
What glasses are those?

So apparently you're supposed to tuck your trousers into your socks when you're wearing hiking boots. Obviously it's for practical reasons when you're actually hiking, but it doesn't look too bad either. Need some thick knitted socks though. Opinions?
Also, does anyone own a fishing bag?

not bad. you'd also need to wear skinny jeans like that guy has on, otherwise it wouldn't look good at all imo
New Years Eve's outfits! What are you guys rocking?
I'm doing a black suit (fuck the rules), pale blue shirt, no tie, minimal striped pocket square, and some black cap toes.
Imma try to post a pic tomorrow. What are you guys gonna be rolling in?

Be sure to. I almost choked on the price. I just bought a black peacoat and it now makes the rest of my wardrobe....meh. I was also wanting something else to replace another coat of mine and this looks like it will do the job.
Some jeans, dark grey polo w/ slim black zip jacket and sneakers :-(

Where'd you get your pea coat, if you don't mind me asking?
Nowhere special. I had some JC Penney coupons/discounts and they were having a sale so I decided to pick one up. http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx..._-1be240a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=710491be240a
It was about $40 after I was done.
