I'm skinny as well and my best fitting suit is from Moss Bros
I got the navy in S, since Haberdash was sold out of S olive by the time I got around to buying
. Don't have any pics on hand at the moment, but my measurements are:5'8", 17.5" shoulders (44" circumference), 37" chest, 29" waist, 24.5" shoulder to wrist
It's pretty slim-fitting, so size up if you plan on layering a lot or if your shoulders are really broad. Layered with a shirt + midweight sweatshirt, it's very slightly snug on my upper back/shoulder area. Nothing movement-impeding, but there could be a little more room, which can be fixed by letting out the back a tiny bit. At the waist, it would be a little too big on its own, but with layering, the extra room gets used up by a fair amount. I could probably get it taken in by an inch-ish if I wanted a more fitted look, but it's not necessary and looks good as is. Sleeves are about half an inch too long on me, but everything size S that I get is slightly long in the sleeves so it's probably just a personal issue. Length fits exactly like this, which is perfect.
tl;dr It's a very fitted jacket with a sleek silhouette, so buy it if that's what you're looking for and you have a fairly straight or tapered body.

speaking of bags, i noticed that Navali had some stuff cheap last weekend so i jumped in on a natural canvas Mainstay messenger that for some reason was deep discounted for 35 bucks. After i ordered, it shot back up to 130 and now its down to 50.
I recieved it today - real impressed with the construction. thick canvas, insanely thick woven strap that is so thick that it feels like its padded, nice sturdy heavy zips.
There's just one problem - it's too goddamned small. they say it will fit a 13" laptop, but i dont see how. the pocket looks too small. I tried to fit my 15" work lenovo into the main compartment (as suggested on some yt videos and forum posts) and it very nearly doesn't fit and there's no room for ANYTHING else, hah.
All in all, I am really pleased with all this for 35 bucks but it doesn't do the one thing it's supposed to do. It will be a perfect bag for toting around my Surface pro, though.
Start a new job this week, always looking to throw another bag in the rotation. Picked this up. Thanks for the heads up.

after looking through the newest collection, i honestly don't know why dior homme still exists anymore, much less why kris van asche is still employed there.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm about the same measurements as you, just an inch shorter in height and waist is about 2" bigger. I knew it was fairly slim fit which is why I wanted it over other Barbour jackets, so it looks like a small would work out fairly well.
Top Man? Next? Asos?
Breh, I suggest you get down to Gieves and Hawkes and get yourself fitted up for a three piece in 12oz charcoal flannel for this time of year and a tropical 9oz black and white glen plaid for the summer months.

seriously. i'm on an airplane, gogo is on, nowfashion is up, and i'm ready.
i have a very good feeling about this collection. my insider told me it was "dark bowie" and it's inspired by french indie rock artists. i believe the collection is called "paris sessions".

Jet Jaguar if you don't mind me asking are you filthy rich? Because everything you recommend is crazy expensive lol
Do I sound filthy?
I'll just say that I recommend spending big for investment pieces (i.e. a top quality suit can and will last up ~15-20 years).

Why the long case?
Iron Rangers post oil. Goal is to work these wrinkles out.
looking good, although I prefer the wrinkles and what not when it comes to work boots like those. Personally, the more beat up and the more imperfections, the better. Are those the Amber harness or Copper?

Amber Harness.
this one was awful bland and uninspired, yeah. ss15 was fantastic imo.

Or the wide neck shirt! They used to have em in Zara, but haven't seen them lately.
got three pair and they seem pretty indestructible. i am usually not into the whole don't wash your jeans thing, but with them i just hang them up in my backyard and let the cool pacific ocean breeze take out any scents that might deposit on them.
I have a pair of BlackxBlack Italy raws I can't fit in. I'm trying to gain weight so I can fit in them. They're good for what you pay for, moreso than these APC's (albeit I got a good discount on them so I'm actually pretty happy with them).

I must admit, I was always against the practice of not washing jeans regularly, but I've yet to wash my Filippa K indigo's. They're just such a lush, shiny hue and the material is still stiff yet is developing creases in all the right places, I don't want to ruin them!
My girlfriend very nearly washed them last weekend (she washes absolutely everything after one wear, she's a bit mental), I found them in the washing basket and just quietly sneaked them back upstairs, haha.
I see. Thanks for the responses as always friends.
What do you guys think of this shirt? A bit plain, but I need another button up and this one is a decent price.
gotta get them sick fades bro.
I have a pair of japanese selvedge that haven't been washed in a year now. I normally just soak mine in a tub with a little bit of woolite dark if they get too nasty or start to smell.

I don't know anything about them, but googling a bit and looking at detailed images they seem to be well put together. I'm not so sure about the jacket you posted, the stitching up the chest seems distracting and unnecessary on a standard moto of that type
by off center zip you mean like a perfecto moto jacket?
you listed pretty much everywhere I would look. have you tried farfetch?
where is this from? I like it.
no

Yo this weather is good and bad.
Hasn't really been that cold and not as much rain as usual, which is good.
But I can't wear all the cool cold weather shit.
Vancouver is the greatest city, regardless.

If someone is interested in getting something from SuitSupply, the outlet is open: www.suitsupply.com/outlet
Code: BETHEFIRST
Not just fall/winter stuff, there's quite a few summer sportscoats in there as well.
Not sure if it works for you guys though, as I'm in the Netherlands.

Thanks for the input! I haven't owned a leather jacket before so still looking into the brands and models right now. I stumbled upon this brand recently when they had a pop-up display of sorts in a department store here.
Are there specific brands you'd recommend me looking into for a jacket like this?

The Gustin talk reminds me I really want to grab the Fryes sneakers they have in a lot of their photos
Edit: How low do Gitman Vintage shirts go during a good sale? They seem to be 35% off everywhere right now but that's still 135 a pop. That flash sale has ruined my perception.
