I agree with Giga, Outlier is most probably what you're looking for. It's expensive, but IMO, it's worth it.
Most (if not all) of their t-shirts are made from Merino wool, so they feel great and offer a strong odor/wrinkle resistance.
They have a fair amount of pants, one of them is called Slim Dungarees, and it's defined by themselves as the 21st century jeans. It's made from a totally different fabric, which is exactly what you need (liquid repelent, almost no wrinkle, when it gets wet, it dries super fast).

Hey these options look great, thanks. Will keep an eye on some of these pants and jackets. Figured it would cost some $$ for form and function though some of the alternatives snarkynomad mentions may work.
ministry of supply is cheaper option. they're dress pants fyi: https://www.ministryofsupply.com/products/aviator-2-pants

So, I need a bow tie for my wedding coming up in September. Here's my suit, our wedding colors are navy blue, steel, and gray. What style of bow tie and color would be best? Silver?
Note, suit hasn't been tailored yet. Pics are a few months old.

well first thing's first you need to unbutton your jacket's bottom button
Deadly Cyclone

Don't you do that when you sit down?
Also, if I did something like this one, would it blend into the shirt too much?

Also, I don't have the undershirt yet either, just the suit. So was possibly thinking gingham. Ideas?

Would a bowtie with a design paired with a gingham shirt be too busy?

no, you do that all the time. personally I unbutton my jacket entirely when I sit down but I don't know if there's as much of a convention about that
Deadly Cyclone

Not a great photoshop, but how does it look with a blue gingham and the star bowtie?
For a formal occasion like your wedding, I'd go white shirt with a solid Navy tie. White linen square.
Also, never button the bottom button on both the vest or jacket. It messes up the natural drape of the fabric. Traditional rules dictate unbuttoning the upper button when seated as well.
Deadly Cyclone

Hmm, I kind of wanted to go a bit different than 100% traditional, thus the gingham and patterned tie. Does what I posted work together?
I may try on basic colors as well, but i'm not feeling a basic white shirt.

Opinions on this? Tag is $500 marked down from $1k and I liked how it fit, but I dunno. Still a lot.

I like that jacket. I'd bite for $200.
The vest too.

never worn a 3-piece suit so wasn't sure if the rule applied there too, thanks
Another win for joggers: no buttons to worry about.
Cyclone, If you want to go with a pattern, I'd say go pattern shirt with a solid tie or vice versa. You're only seeing small view of the shirt and tie so it may look too busy.
Joggers with button fly = satan
Ball is life.
I can't be disrespecting my balls with tight-ass and hot-ass pants all the time. Sometimes, they gotta be free while also being respectful of decency laws.
Well, my Zanerobe jacket came in and it looks great but the zipper is fucked from the get-go. Really poor quality it seems, it actually comes apart on two different spots. Contemplating returning it and asking for another or just ask for a refund and look for something else :/

First impression is last impression, get a refund
Get a refund unless you really love the design. There's no excuse for using cheap zippers. YKK or gtfo.
Well, that's the thing, it's actually YKK. So could be honest just bad luck and getting a faulty zipper. But then their quality control is lacking a bit though. I'm currently trying to find out where I'm sending it. Brand is from Australia but the jacket came out of Hong Kong according to DHL.
Their customer service has been very fast and friendly so far though.

I'm about to purchase a €300 red leather jacket but I am not sure if it's too flamboyant honestly.
It also looks way better in real life than it does here. I'll try it on once more this evening and then decide. There's a 50% discount on it, original price is 600.

Hypebeast ting. You gonna wear it with some Yeezy's?
I feel your pain. Linen seems to last one or two holidays for me before looking hobo-chic in the worst way.

The logo in the arm is the only thing I don't like, but besides that yeah, it looks great.
Do it, man. Someday you'll be old and will regret not wearing such an awesome jacket

Somebody help me. I think I have a problem. I just bought some Balmain and Rick Owen jeans and Common Projects. I going to be swimming in bills by the end of the year.
Edit: On a more serious note, I'm in the market for a nice bomber style jacket, something with a hood. Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to double layer

Not a fan of skinny jeans in terms of personal preference but I think they look good on you.
The kicks are fly as fuck too.
Good look bro.
That red leather jacket a few posts up is cool too.

too skinny for me but they look like they have some sort of stretch to them and a coating of some kind so they'll probably bag out a little bit after some wear. they look cool tho, certainly not like you're stuffing sausages in them or something... the next size up would probably be closer to how i would wear them.

John Elliott Spring 17 was revealed today http://wwd.com/runway/mens-spring-collections-2017/new-york/john-elliott/review/
Some really nice stuff in there. Really like this shirt on the left and jacket on the right, nice colors.

They're Topman stretch skinny. The quality seemed decent but the tag was $85 which seemed a little high for a brand I thought was in competition with Zara. I think they'd stretch out a bit more, too. And I'll get a bit thinner, though my legs are always going to be over developed. But I was happy that I could at least get on a pair of jeans basically designed for rail thin teenagers.
I didn't buy them yet, I'm gonna try out some other stuff this weekend. Denim's the hardest thing for me to find the right fit. I really like Banana Republic's slim fit travel jeans but the leg openings are too wide and the rise is a little dad-ish. The Topmans were very low rise and ideal below the knee but I wish they had just bit more room in the thigh.
They're great. 100% got them because of this thread.
Thanks, and I agree about the jacket. I hope he got it.

I'm a skinny guy but I don't like at all how skinny pants look, having said that, there are plenty of guys wearing skinny jeans so you are not committing a fashion crime at all.
And as other poster said, if you feel comfortable, go for it. One of the best things about fashion is wear whatever you want regardless of what others think.

Do you have a Uniqlo near you? Their UK stores do very affordable denim which isn't terrible.
The fit on those isn't my cup of tea but look absolutely fine on guys if you're comfortable in them (tho personally I think that sizing should be reserved for darker colours/black).
