Is it possible to get shirts not to shrink? I just bought a couple and they look great and fit perfect but I know that if they shrink a little I probably wont wear them again.

I buy Large but my perfect size is Large Tall which almost nobody sells. Xlarge is just way too much fabric. Shrinking is my worst enemy

Can anyone ID what style of Asics shoes these are?

 

[Horse Detective]

Do you guys think those clarks would work with semi formal clothing?

I have a thing coming up and I just realized that some dress shoes I bought a year back do not fit quite well.

They're a Mexico 66, and Google tells me they're the Castle Rock Grey colourway.

Thanks! I'm going to try this, I despsise shrinking and even a little bit throws off my confidence with the shirt

Woo, just got a pair of Robert Wayne Linen Oxfords at Last Call for $40.

I've had my eye on these shoes FOREVER when they were at $80, then they dropped to $60 but I had trouble finding them in my size. Today, they had my size and they launched their President's Day sale so I insta-bought them at $42.

I got those last year and they definitely look awesome, but fit small/narrow. Still, great looking shoe.

Looking for a pretty inexpensive good fitting suit, like 150-250 range. Does Topman or ASOS do better in this range?

Can you even find something for that cheap? I'd say ~400 is the least you should try spending on a "cheap" suit.

Topman has some pretty decent blazers for around $150- not sure how much their suit combos run, though.

 

[beelzebozo]

h&m.

cheap as hell but will look good for a year, then explode at the seams.

A year is being overly generous. If he's buying it for work then it'll probably be dead within a month.

 

[bowery]

ASOS has stuff like this for around 150

And around 250 for Topman

Just trying to figure out whats better in the range for a suit ill be wearing for like a month till i can afford/ really need a higher quality one.

 

[Snakeyes]

Zoomg just bought some awesome navy Margiela trainers. 50% and the last pair - in my size!

So pleased. They're so Italian-tourist-puffa-jacket-meets-astronaut-spaceman.

Never thought I'd see the Vagiela posted on GAF.

lol what is with that hat?

 

[PantherLotus]

lol what is with that hat?

you mentioned the hat but no comment on that hilarious suit in the other pic? shit's almost up to his knees he's floodin' so bad

 

[bowery]

Yeah on second thought these look like shit, and H&M doesnt ship to US, fuck.

lol I saw the hat and immediately hit reply. Are those pics from H&M? their model pics usually suck. I'm pretty sure they photoshop the clothes onto the models

Actually...

 

[PantherLotus]

Don't get me wrong, I think that's a legitimate style. I just think it's a legitimate style that is completely inappropriate for virtually every male that wears one regularly.

 

[soultron]

And around 250 for Topman

His suit looks like it'd explode if he sat down. Haha.

 

[f0nz0]

Need help with a hat id .., looks sorta like a fedora but a bit more rounded at the top, the brim is rounded up all around unlike the fedora which is rounded up in the back and flattened out in the front, they usually are made of straw and have that "beach/lounge" look to them, anyone know what I'm talking about??

 

[PantherLotus]

His suit looks like it'd explode if he sat down. Haha.

frankly it looks like it's exploding while he's standing up. the bunching at the knees gives it away.

and i'm sorry, sometimes a touch of flood is ultra hip if you have some italian slippers and bright-colored argyle socks, but this one is muy terrible. what is that, 4" off the ground?

 

[dudeworld]

lol I knew something was off

i would never follow any of your "wisdom".

Anywho Topman suits are far from normal business attire. Jackets come up too high in the back and the pants are slim. You can try Zara as they do have a suiting section with more appropriate cuts. club Monaco is your best bet if you are on a budget of the sort.

 

[PantherLotus]

I'll never pretend to have wisdom about fashion, just stating opinions. I try to remember that what I wear isn't me, it's an introduction. Or something.

Good luck with your look.

A Trilby? Hang on, I'll try and find a pic...

(By the way, those two gentlemen are wearing too small a hat for their head size.)

D'oh, I have broad feet. I ordered half a size up, hope that's enough.

Has anyone here signed-up for one of those monthly clothes shipments programs? I know Trunk Club started the trend (https://trunkclub.com/) but many of their clothing options are frankly out of my price range.

So anways, I just signed up for Frank & Oak (based in Montreal, but ships to the U.S) and all the clothing on their site are < $50 each.

And today they just launched their "Hunter Club" in which they ship you "curated" clothing items every month tailored to your style (based on a few questions/answers), and it's free shipping both ways. They only charge you if you decide to keep something and there's no obligation to. If you do decide to purchase something, you'll get 10% off towards a future purchase.

They seem to have some nice things and I'll report back when I get first shipment next month. But if anyone wants to get in the site now, PM me and I can send you an invite. Apparently it's a referral invite link, but I don't know if you'd get in any quicker.

Damn Nudie jeans are awesome. I would buy some if I didn't think I was going to grow out of them in a year or so.

 

[Mik2121]

I see some people talking about cargo pants here.. that reminds me I got myself some last week. Pretty nice design too!. I can't find pics of the exact ones I have in the same color. But basically...

The ones on the top left. In a different color, they'd look like this:

But with a much better fit, and with some nice design shirts and sneakers. In this picture it looks kinda awful

 

[Boken]

I still hate cargo pants.

 

[Alucrid]

Too many zippers and pockets.

New jacket.

toj harrington? looks nice, sleeves might be a pinch long tho.

 

[Alucrid]

Yeah, it was a sample sale. Sleeves are an inch or two longer than my other jackets, but having that extra fabric there feels good man.

 

[Johnlenham]

I got some in the Januaury sales two years ago and the were my favorite jeans for so long. I sometimes ride BMX in them and I managed to rip the crotch ;(
Tough old jeans though, survived shit loads of abuse.

 

[Einbroch]

I know you guys rip on Aldo, but Call It Spring boots are insanely cheap at JCP right now.

Here.

Yes, I work at JCP. Got three pairs for under $40. These aren't awful, they really aren't. Of course, not amazing, but for $16 or $18? Could do a lot worse. In store too. Actually my store has a few of the $18 for $15, and so on.

lol for that price, even if they do suck, you can just buy a few pairs

The Tie Bar may be one of the greatest websites I have ever seen.

Frickin' love ties.

Yeah...I've gotten into the casual tie thing just cause there's so many of them on there that are fun as shit. Kinda want to pick up this one next.

Slightly OT, but...did GAF already discuss how JCP completely co-opted the rejected GAP logo? Wow that's terrible.

perfectly tailored suits look like that, but don't feel like it

 

[Cosmic Bus]

None of the ones I would've bought are available in my size, how shocking.

Regardless of how most of the fashionistas feel about the quality of Aldo, H&M, Urban, whatev... The stuff I own has held up perfectly fine for years. God only knows what some of you are doing in these clothes that causes them to explode after two weeks.

 

[freenudemacusers]

man that topman suit is hideous (not even going to bring up the shoes) can we stop talking about it

 

[freenudemacusers]

yo alucrid what size is that jacket, and what size do you usually take (46?)? probably getting a dark brown goatskin cwu jacket while it's still around.

 

[Alucrid]

It's a sample so it's not quite stock size, it's a 45/46ish with longer sleeves and lengths than normal stock it seems. I do have that olive MA-1 that's a stock 46 so that might help you judge a bit better. Brown goatskin is gonna be dope though. But yeah, for regular jackets I generally roll with a 46 since stock fits me well without going completely mtm. I'll just alter the lengths as I feel I need to.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I see, going by the numbers I'm a 46 with an inch longer in the sleeves, maybe. Hoping the dark brown goat is still around, I need that knit collar CWU flight jacket so bad hah.

 

[Vox-Pop]

I wish I knew how to measure myself. TOJ has some nice jackets.
