If you can afford it, make a few (the ones for job interview or major life event) bespoke.I can't even do it due to having a large neck.
It's not that more expensive that buying a premium shirt off the rack.
Where are you located?Frustrated_me said:
Quality laces are unfortunately not that easy to find.
i usually crash buy them at the supermarket or MisterMinute.
Most forum speak about Ringpoint or just buying lace (with a ridiculous premium) from luxury shoemakers (Weston, Corthay, etc..)
Good shirt makers allow you to specify a neck size.I can't even do it due to having a large neck.

Absolutely.
They're like regular glasses. Anyone can rock them, just gotta find the right pairs. Only they're dark.

Tried on an intense Scotch & Soda mint green leather jacket tonight. Fun.
Also tried on the bonkers Phillip Lim leather jacket Style Fox posted in another thread. First time I've ever had $3k in clothing on.

that mint jacket is dope.
how did the philip lim feel? i tried on a $5 or something ridic dior homme leather a couple years ago and I was almost drunk enough to make a poor financial decision.

The Lim jacket was pretty amazing, I won't lie. I call bullshit on the price:quality ratio of a lot of designer stuff, but that argument is objectively feeble in the face of good leather products. Also made my mind reel a little to imagine that Illith could just waltz in and pick something like this up on a whim.
Should I get the mint jacket? It fit quite well and I really liked the uniqueness of the color. Bear in mind that I don't actually own a black leather already.

i think it would suit you very well, so go for it.
I ask because I've never touched much lim in person. I like a couple of the casual jackets this season.

Well, maybe it's a personality thing. Either way, I'm taking that step this year.
That mint jacket is dope btw.

Overcasts sunglasses phobia has to be one of the most interesting plot lines in this thread.
Loll. I swear to God, when I get a pair I'm posting a picture here. 100+ is daunting for a pair of glasses though, honestly.
I'll have to post a picture up later on showing the collar.
It's a really nice jacket, and the leather is great.
Thanks guys!
Also it's definitely my favourite shirt I'd say.

^european designer stuff will cost you about the same because of import duty and taxes in my experience but no harm looking!

If you a very fitting shirt: ask your mom to have a few based on that one in a made to measure tailoring shop.
When i was in Chennai, i went to Raymond's, quiet happy on how it turned out for the shirt.
They were expecting me to gain a lot of pounds when i was going back in India, didn't turn out that way so i'm floating in the suit :/

Any tips for a very light jacket that could be worn in the heat with jeans? Summer coming up soon. Have a G-Star one that I really like but it's black so perhaps a bit more colorful? Finally lost all the weight I need to lose, and have been running for a while to the point where I'm approaching fit so I'm pretty confident about replacing clothes at this point. Will have to go slowly though given I'm a poor college student
In any case, budget is 200 but I have a 100 dollar Macy's giftcard as well. Store here isn't as nice as the one in San Francisco which is a bummer.

what's the consensus on wide brimmed hats like this?
kinda wanna pick one up, but i'm not sure if i'd be making a bad decision.
also, speaking of possible bad decisions, should i go for this dries tank?

The hat depends on what you wear with it. It can look rabbi-ish real fast.
I wish the tank didn't have that huge 9 on it... maybe if it were smaller? A shame because I like that print. Maybe the digitally printed botanical shirt?
Oo, Barneys has those shorts in now.

You could wear that hat in West LA and fit in.
With the jewish dudes walking around.
189 dollars man :[
I like the hat idea illithid, and I like the print on the tank, but I don't fuck with tanks.

it's above zero, the sun is shining and it's not windy. given it's march you gotta take what you can get!
Turned out alright, yeah.
Went to Garbstore. Bought another EG blazer.
Tried on some Needles stuff, but I straight out don't understand it. I know it's made from heaps of different shit, but it fits like it's made from heaps of different shit.

Went by their store and they only had one jacket in stock, just want to try things on at this point to see whether I'd be a small or medium.
Where'd you try it on at? Didn't see it on their site or at Nordstroms. Probably out of my current budget anyway if its leather.
I like the plum Scotch and Soda bomber quite a bit and it seems sufficiently thin, how does their sizing run generally? Have a winter coat of theirs but I imagine that's not the best comparison to make. Anywhere I might be able to try one on at? Nordstroms didn't have much of theirs, do have a bloomingdales close by though.
