I can't find pictures of some of them, but it's a silk/cashmere blend scarf that also happens to be nine feet long. That's a lot of fabric! And then the Hedi tax doesn't help.

Who's going to be the first gaffer to buy this cool new hat?

Only if it's 500 dollars or above.

Any suit enthusiasts here?
Had a new bespoke double breast suit tailored.
The grey plastic buttons are temporary until I find them in dark brown horn.
The concave-like shoulders are known as pagoda shoulders. Minimal padding so it has a nice natural curve, the edges of which are raised through a neat roping technique.
DBs traditionally have wider lapels but I went with a more contemporary cut.
Any alteration suggestions? I still have to add in the pick-stitching on the inner lining of the jacket which is maroon silk.

Ok opinion from non biased strangers time. Lately I feel like my large sized v necks are too tight. They're basically all from banana republic. My wife says I'm crazy, they fit fine and I look good. So give me your opinions, guys. I did try on an xl (should have snapped a pic) and it did seem like I was swimming in it a little. Especially since I'm only 5'8.
This is fresh out of the dryer, so it will stretch a bit as the day goes on.

Neds didn't agree with the decision?

Suit/tailoring? Right here.
Looks beautiful.
Re suggestions, for my personal preferences I would think about maybe getting the trousers hemmed slightly higher (with a touch more taper) to complete the elegant look.
My ideal trouser length with regards to taper and break is pretty much the below picture (I also like turn ups to give the trousers weight at the bottom so they sit well, in addition to the higher rise (trousers only, not jeans, but the picture is just for the taper and break example)).

Presumably for their rumored watch. Didn't see anything about their trench coat line but I'm not sure what they'd do there.
Looks beautiful. The shoulders are impeccable and the body drapes nicely.Any suit enthusiasts here?

My only suggestion would be to hem the pants a touch higher, they look a little on the long side to me. Granted, I prefer a higher hem so I suppose it's all personal preference. Great suit though.
It looks okay to me. Realistically, you're probably in that awkward in-between stage where a L is too small and an XL is too big. The shirt itself is tight but it doesn't look abnormally so. I wouldn't think anything of it if I saw you walking around for instance.

Appreciate the comments/advice. I agree with you guys, the trousers are certainly on the long side. My tailor was angry enough as it was with me because I pushed him to make a slimmer silhouette than he is accustom to making. Definitely going to get it hemmed on my next visit. I think his heart can only take one change at a time, the old traditionalist.
The Connery picture is lovely btw. Perfect length.

Helmut Lang silk/denim jeans arrived today.
Yeah I'm keeping them. Also I like how a size 28 is medium, especially when the waist is a little smaller than my size 28 SLPs

Aha! I was wondering wtf would a HL s or xs would be, surely you'd be looking at children's sizes. But yeah, they very comfy, feel great and am very happy with how much I paid, so thanks for linking them!

post some fit pics! I'm super curious about how slim they fit.

Oh yeah don't wash them, they'll shrink 2 sizes.
Actually I probably would go with that but they don't ship to or have any real UK stockists.
How about the Barbour Wax Holdall? Also thinking of saving some money and getting a Herschal one instead
First post here! Hi!
So I went all out during the Columbus day holiday sales. I bought 8 pieces of clothes during that week, i normally buy 5 in 6 months. I also got my first pair of Chinos, dark brown colored, never really wore them but hey it was on sale so i got it. I do have a question though, Im normally a 30/30 but when i tried on the skinny chinos 30/30 seems a bit off so i went with a 29/30. They fit better but my question is do they shrink after you wash them? i never dealt with them before as this is my first pair.

I like both of those options more than the camo one. As far as bags go, the simpler the better in my opinion. You don't want them clashing with whatever you're wearing.
They might shrink a little bit but you can largely prevent that by cold washing and hang drying. After all, it's the heat that shrinks the clothes.
Marcovaldo

haha yeah the tags came with plenty of "dry clean only!" "if want this to keep it's color and size dry clean only!" "will shrink in wash dry clean only!" warnings
just for you:

wandered into bloomingdales and found my new balances. really like them. I'm a little bothered that they look slightly different from each other but I'm probably the only one who's ever going to notice
edit: actually the left one is tighter as a consequence. this is going to drive me crazy

Appreciate the response and the last line made me feel a lot better. I was kind of getting self conscious, but I'm honestly not ready to buy all new clothes at an xl size.
don't smoke indoors brah
Just received some Ralph Lauren polo/golf shirts as gifts. Love the cut, they fit nicely, but damn, the pattern/color is barf. I have no receipt but the tags are still on em. They were bought in the States on sale, and I'm in Canada.
What are my options? lol
All I'd love to do is swap em for solid colored ones.

I would think you'd be able to go to the store and exchange them for something else. You could try calling them and asking them first to see what they say.
I think I made a stupid mistake.
See, I always throw all my clothes in the wash and press cotton/normal and then in the dryer and press cotton normal.
Those banana republic shirts? Tumble dry low. Whoops. I've shrunk them!!!!
Gonna see if banana will let me exchange some. And from now on only underwear, undershirts and gym clothes on cotton normal. Everything else including my jeans on delicate.

I tumble dry everything on low since I can't think of any circumstance where that would be more risky than normal, regardless of what the tag says. The only thing I dry at higher temps are towels.

Some of us live in apartments and don't have backyards to hang our clothes out in. Hang drying my clothes isn't really very practical.

Don't need a backyard. I hang my clothes in the pantry, literally on top of the washer and dryer. I usually leave my clothes in the washer for 30 mins before I hang it, water doesn't seem to drip if I do that.
Btw, do y'all have a steamer y'all can recommend? Ironing is such a pain in the ass I just throw my clothes in the dryer and dewrinkle it for 20 mins. It works but it's obviously not as "clean" as a proper iron.
How do you guys bring your lunches to work? Usually I put my lunch in a plastic bag which I carry using a school bag, but I don't really like school bags (especially when using public transportation), and feel like getting a small messenger bag instead. What do you guys think?

lol. I'll need a fedora hat to go with that though.
I should have thought of those brands. I was looking at rudsak and stuff. Just checked G-Star and they have some good stuff. Just don't know where I can buy them here.

Casual Friday. Finally got my ASOS shirt in. I know, I know, my brown Clark's would look better with this but I just couldn't resist the Chuck's I bought for my Doctor Who Halloween costume.
I'm definitely considering this.
I will say my shirts fit better washing them on delicate. Not as tight.

Band of Outsiders just opened their Tokyo store, looks crazy. Today they announced that they're opening their first US store in NYC next spring.

I have a jiffy steamer. Fucking awesome, although nowadays I mostly wear Hanes v necks so I don't use it as much
