I think it's only fair to recommend something of good quality and so I would suggest that you go ahead and take a trip to London to see David Mason who can fit your boyfriend with a beautiful three piece suit in a grey (rather black and white) Glen Urquhart check.

Wool. Summer suits can be made with linen...but for a first suit I wouldn't get linen.

In one of the other men's fashion threads (it was either the manshion thread or the one before it) someone once posted a pair of shorts (or were they swim trunks?) with cats on them (I think just cat heads). They were awesome and I lost the pic. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?

They were from a Topman designer collection a couple years back. Definitely not available any more... I tried to get a pair, myself. -__-

I'm having issues finding decent slim fit (or just tailored look) dress pants. I tried the Docker D1's this weekend and because of my bigger thighs they didn't fit. I then tried the straight fit Dockers and they worked, but the leg opening looked huge.
Any recommendation for good brands of dress pants that fit well and don't look baggy in the leg? Preferably a tapered fit or just something that fits bigger thighs? Also I don't want to spend a ton, I'd like to be able to buy 2-3 pairs.
EDIT:
Also I want some classic white Nike's to wear with jeans this spring/summer. Suggestions? Do I go for Air Force 1's?

Where is a good place to buy some vintage clothing specifically Carhartt? I am kind of developing an obsession with Carhartt but only their current "Made in the USA" line and their old vintage USA made stuff.
Obviously there's eBay and I am fussing around with this site called Etsy. How is that?

Does anyone know where you could buy a white duffle-coat for men? Kind of tired of all my winter-gear being navy or black and would like something brighter.

I'm not sure about white, but its pretty common to find beige or camel coats.

I've seen sprezz in a couple of different places lately... What is it a reference to or what does it mean?
Shameless wikipedia copy
Sprezzatura is an Italian word originating from Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as "a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it".[1] It is the ability of the courtier to display "an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them".[2] Sprezzatura has also been described "as a form of defensive irony: the ability to disguise what one really desires, feels, thinks, and means or intends behind a mask of apparent reticence and nonchalance".

I'm waiting for an item from that collection too. I was gonna go to Barney's this weekend, see if they have it there. I'd say the same for you.
I would, if I lived anywhere near New York, if we're talking about NY. They probably have a few more stores. Stockholm isn't that close.

Great color coordination. His details are fantastic too. Not crazy about the huge lapels though.

I think he wears large lapels due to how built he is. The part on his blazers where the shoulders connect to the arms also look like they're oversized, but I'm guessing that's due to the same reason.

There's Dries Van Noten stores in Antwerp, Paris, and London, if you happen to be around those parts of Europe.

Yeah, not feeling that at all. The colors are nice but the rest is way too try-hard.
Colour combinations (and some of those cloths) are very good.
The first blazer, fit wise, is just about passable but the rest look comical, particularly the blue blazer where the lapel edge extends above the shoulder, not to mention the bowing lapels.
The belt loops tarnish the otherwise very nice first trousers.

his chest is too big for his own good
Yeah, I was in contact with Dries Van Noten directly (no the man himself of course), and they said the item I want will be sold in Antwerpen. So, I e-mailed the store and they said they could ship it to me. Only issue is that there's no returns nor exchange. But I guess I can go with medium or 48, as that is what I usually get.
I only have jeans. I want to expand to pants

I want a slim fit. Though the price isn't appealing.

I like Banana Republic chinos. You can usually get them on sale too since they're constantly having 30% sale events. I think the last pair I got was around $40.
i got 3 pairs of those, and wear them to work. though, i got them at 40% off plus student discount, which definitely made them worth it.
