lets be real here, that's not going to be the case unless you're like 5'3, in which case, the cool kids denim that only comes with 34'' inseams probably weren't meant to be. I've had 6 inches taken off jeans and most people would say my jeans are still damn slim.

I picked up the pants today and...I'm not a fan of the alteration :/ Theyre super comfortable but I hate how boxy the leg opening feels. It looks fine with boots on but with sneakers its a little goofy.
Doesnt have to be ultra tight but I like the silhouette much better when it tapers proportionally. Otherwise its gets a little boxy and goofy looking.

Bought this t from Maharishi. Man I love this brand so much, and it's so hard to get in Canada, they never have what I want here.

They make some stuff that is over-designed for my taste, but their more toned down items are just killer. Always a unique cut, and this season they have some really nice bright colors like Yeezy season 3 had, and the quality is great. I always appreciate brands that are original (even if often copied).
Also tried the Aime Leon Dore kimono cardigan recently. It was too loose in the back, giving a sort of triangular silhouette when seen from the side. Didn't think I could get this tailored so I just returned it, but it looked really nice otherwise, if it had a proper fit it would have been a killer cardigan with a unique cut.
Here in navy:
And don't get my started on the recent John Elliott releases, awesome stuff, all unaffordable.
edit: Oh and checkout Fanmail if you don't know them, the fabrics they use is great. I got two "sherpa" sweaters from them. Not pictured here, recent sweat release I'm planning to cop:

So far, so good on the jacket, boys. I might just stick on horror movies exclusively for this one.
That Black Rabbit jacket is the bee's knees.Okay, I think I should refrain from splurging on clothing for a while, but man, I'm already a big fan of my new pants and jacket
I would have bought the same one this time if they had the S size in stock

Best lightweight bomber jacket for $100 or less? Also, should I get navy or black?

Are you making the first side fold too tight? Leave some slack. And are you making sure to fold up twice?

any of you dudes like pistol lake? they restocked their henleys a couple days ago so i bought one in burgundy and one in gray.

I have one of their long-sleeved henleys and it's one of my favorite shirts. Great fit for a lean/athletic build.

any solid watch recommendations for those with smaller wrists? been looking to pick up something nice but I'm wary of the fit. don't want the face hanging over my wrist / strap to feel too loose.
additionally, picked up some simple beige NB 247s since I wanted a pair of white sneakers for the summer. magic eraser still the best way to keep something like these clean? thanks

What price
ThanksVision

should have specified, I'd say sub $200 for now
E: cheaper the better, but I wouldn't mind paying up to $200 for a nice small watch that goes with most fits. I'm really just struggling to find good watches with small faces for my baby wrists

Looks like I was more in vogue than I had originally thought.

So I'm trying to update my fashion game (just posted in the sneakers thread too) and I have a question: how hit or miss is buying clothing online?
I know the OP has a ton of links but I'm pretty lazy and hate spending a day at a mall trying out clothes which is one of the reasons I never buy anything. I'm currently looking to get a bunch of things for summer: shorts, jeans, graphic tees, maybe a light jacket for colder nights.
What's a good online shop that's not too expensive?

Frank + Oak will always be a staple of fast-fashiion for me.
I rotate mostly between them, TJ Maxx, and Macy's. Lots of essentials, not too eccentric, and not too basic. The combination has really allowed me to explore, and expand, my personal fashion sense without coming across as a try-hard or breaking the bank.
Others will recommend uniqlo.
I've recently been drooling over some threads on Amazon though, tbh.

got the henley, I really like it! what do you lot think
it's a little baggy towards the bottom but that happens with every shirt I wear because of how skinny I am. overall I still think it fits well as the sleeve length is perfect and the shoulders/collar fit nicely in my opinion.

I'd say if you have the option, suck it up and try stuff on. At least you can see how well clothes fit you, but if you're adamant on buying online, take the time to measure yourself.
From that point, you know your measurements, just check sizing charts and you should be okay.
I pretty much buy clothes nearly exclusively online these days. Once you know your measurements, it's hard to fuck up. Sometimes jackets come with sleeves that are too long, but that's because my arms are short, and getting sleeves tailored is dirt cheap anyway.
As for cheap online stores, I gather that some people hate ASOS here, but I find them pretty good. Out of several purchases, I only had one bad experience and that was more my fault than anything.
Uniqlo is great for basics
Great fit, but I always thought that you have to be pretty buff to make henry collars work. Just my opinion tho
Anyone ever bought anything from this brand, M.R.K.T., before? Kind of like this bag.. my Jack Spade one is getting a little long in the tooth.

I do agree that they look best on muscular guys, but I wouldn't say it looks bad on me. The fabric feels so nice that I would probably still wear it even if it didn't fit me as well as it does.
Yeah, it still looks pretty good on you. I like the color
Also I just learned that they were called henley collars, not henry collars. Embarrassing
QuantumSquid
Member
I like the color too. I never realized it but burgundy goes really well with almost everything else in my wardrobe (ex. khaki chinos, navy chinos, olive chinos, white sneakers)

I would feel extra second-hand embarrassment for you if you ever said that to an Asian person. Could be construed as insensitive with the L/R pronunciation.

What sort of watch do you want? Dive watch? Dress watch? Field watch? Aviation watch? Ect? Also do you want automatic movement or quartz?
Until I have this info I can't give a more detailed recommendation other than avoid fashion watches.
Wow, this is the most balanced, well crafted, best fitting pair of pants i have ever worn. Bonobos clothes don't have any flairs to it, but It does everything right in its simplicity. Also the best waist button ever made. How are other companies not doing this?
Is it $100 good? Yes, but that doesnt mean you should pay $100. Buy the sale items.
Don't know much about watches, was looking for a good option if I dress well or casual.
But looking up your descriptions, I would say a dress watch, preferably quartz since it seems more accurate but I don't really mind of its automatic movement. I'm not giving it a specific use beyond that, so if it's a dive or aviator watch that looks good, I'd be ok with that too.

At that price range look at Tissot everytime collection. Swiss quality, and can be worn with pretty much everything. Then, once you purchase that never look at watches again, you'll thank me later.
Honorable mentions, seiko 5 collection, and Orient bambino. These are japanese autos but very good value for the money. Although, the orients are a few dollars above budget.
I am Asian and it's the reason why I got confused by that in the first place
That's pretty informative LeroyPantwether, I'll follow your advice and give them a look, thank you very much

Well let me know anyways. I want others opinion. am i right? wrong?

Picture's may not do it justice but these pants from Frank & Oak fit like a glove, they have a slight stretch to them which makes it ultra comfortable.
Bruh I'm definitely looking into these.
I just started realizing how tight and uncomfortable all my clothes are. I used to be able to handle it I can literally feel the strain on my pelvis when I wear my favorite chinos.
Some kind of lightweight chinos with a somewhat relaxed fit, I would say. Wish I could recommend you some specific brands; I need some myself. Maybe Bonobos, Uniqlo, Banana Republic?
If you guys read above on the same page, i highly suggest the bonobos chinos. They are quite expensive though, but it is sooo comfortable, light, and great quality.

My first pair of Chelsea boots. Been trying to mix up my style lately from the Ultra Boost I've been wearing.
Plaid button-ups and distressed denim are my jam right now.

The skinny cropped chinos I got at Topman recently are light, very comfy, and were around $50
