It really bugs me that their blue Oxford shirts have white sections on the inside of the cuffs and collar.
Did this last night. I love CT shirts, that's a good price, not the best if you're simply interested in shirts, but free shipping + tie makes it a slick deal.

What shirt and tie did you get?
I got Slim fit non-iron twill white shirt
and
Navy silk classic plain tie
Reason why I got that shirt because it seems to be the most popular, and for the tie it's because of the description.
I got the
Slim fit non-iron Prince of Wales blue and gold shirt
French cuffs since I wanted it to be a bit more formal/dressier
and the
Red silk wire lattice classic tie since red is my favorite color and I like the pattern.

I do like your shirt and tie. I might consider getting one if I can find another address.

Those shoes look great bud. Definitely agree that the laces are too long though. It kills the clean look to an extent.

you're not wrong, but the dirt that's gonna cover these after a few weeks of use is gonna kill the clean look whether I adjust the laces or not.

Vans sells a water/stain blocking spray that works really well. I'd get the aerosol one, the liquid spray doesn't work quite as well.
there are also probably other sprays that do the same thing I just know the Vans one

How to make Canada Goose high fashion:
Or how about a backpack?

The silhouette reminds me of when ET is wearing that hoodie and trying to blend in as a human in the film
:-D:-D:-D
Massively oversized silhouettes are coming back in a big way, particularly for outerwear.
I will continue to wear my wetsuits.

thanks just tried out an extra slim shirt and tie
I like oversized tees and khakis, not sure about other stuff though. Happy to see what's coming, but that CG jacket is ridiculous...

So are you supposed to dress up at an engagement party? Does it matter what season it is?
Going to one next week but I'm not sure if wearing a full suit and tie is overkill. It will be at the bride's home if that matters. I was thinking of wearing biz casual, maybe a thick cardigan with dress pants and shoes. Is that too lame?

Need your guys opinion.
I was given years go as a present a few J Crew classic pique polo shirts. They're all large, and irbr washed them in hot water and they slightly shrunk. Still a bit baggy in the sides.
Am I dumb to to take them to a tailor to get them more fitted? I would like to wear them still.
Would I be costly?
Thanks

You'd need to ask a tailor how much it would cost.

Alright. The sleeves are a little long, too.
Gonna need to take advantage of some end of season deals and find myself some new jeans.
My go to's have been Levi's Made and Crafted but they're not widely out there. Been snagging them on sale from SSense and East Dane. My favourite pair just got a small hole in the crotch, which I can repair, but still.

Expect around $30 a shirt.
It should say in the invitation. If it doesn't, the venue will guide the formality.
Home engagement parties are typically casual affairs. Dress comfortably, but put together. Be as reflective of the bride and groom's personally style and formality level as you can assume.
Basically, this is something you can wear jeans to if you'd like.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah this invitation didnt come with a dress code so I assumed it could be a bit more casual.
I was thinking of wearing an outfit similar to this. Maybe with a pair of nice jeans instead of dress pants. Yay? Nay?

I got my supima cotton t-shirt from uniqlo, it fits reasonably well. there's definitely some unnecessary fabric there but it's whatever. i don't know where else to buy XS t-shirts from.
what do you mean by unnecessary fabric?
uniqlo is my personal favorite for basic tees (apparently their quality changed though? haven't bought any tees from them since last winter) but these are good brands for XS dudes too imo, (talking strictly about tees, although the other articles are probably not so bad either.)

good quality for the price, good fits, and not completely 'fast fashion' afaik (if that matters to you.)
QuantumSquid
Member
what I mean is, it is a little boxier than it could be. uniqlo has changed the fit and material of their basic tees since last winter and a lot of people think they got worse as a result since the fit isn't as good on most people. I never owned one of their older tees but those people are probably right when they say it's worse.
I'll definitely look into those brands you suggested, $16 for a t-shirt from everlane isn't a bad price at all if they're good quality.

Everlane is great quality, I'm wearing their cashmere hoodie right now. When I got their tshirts when they first came out they were super long though, but they may have also changed that.
Thank you, that saved me a couple hundred bucks.

Thanks, those look perfect.
I'm trying to get a pair for presents for my brother and my sister-in-law, I'm wondering if it would be too weird to get her a scarf made by a menswear designer though. I know scarves are supposed to unisex, but would that be okay?
QuantumSquid
Member
This is probably super sexist of me to say but I think your sister would probably appreciate a softer scarf than what that site sells. Shouldn't be hard to find a women's scarf online though, they're much more available.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Looking for some input on a briefcase.
For a long while, I've had a Filson messenger bag I use for work - it's great. Holds up like a champ and carries a bunch of stuff. But in the last year, my job has moved up a bit in "prestige"(sounds so douchey - don't mean it that way), and now I'm pretty much exclusively speaking with C-level folks in hospitals - CEOs, CFOs, etc. And, well, the bag I'm using is just way out of place and contrasts a good bit with my M2M suits, nice watches, welted shoes, etc.
Thing is, for the last six months, I've been eyeballing every major maker in the space: Lotuff, Frank Clegg, Filson, Barbour, Swaine Adeney, J.W Hulme, Ghurka, Coach, Hermes, etc, etc - and every store - Brooks Brothers, local shops, J.Crew, Mr. Porter, etc, etc.
Thing is, there's been nothing I've fallen in love with - and I just can't will myself to spend $1,000 (or a lot more) on a bag. At least, not right now. Too many other wants on the list.
Anyway, fast forward and I saw someone wearing a new Tumi backpack at a conference the other day, and I loved it. I immediately hopped online and saw it's part of a set:
I really love the looks of this. It would match all my suits (navy, gray, black). It seems like it would be fine year round. I like that it's small and structured (stand on its own).
But I have concerns about quality. I feel like Tumi is nothing more than a "fashion" brand, and in two years the bag will look like shit. Comments? Thoughts?

Yeah, I just decided to go with Ralph Lauren, they seem to be of decent quality without breaking the bank.
That designer that you recommended is pretty dope though, might get something from them for myself later on
