ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

u shd by dan a shirt

dan should buy me a shirt

someone buy me a shirt

let's all do a shirt exchange

man, they have one samuelsohn suit, it's really nice, but no short jacket size and it's $1100.

sell them on ebay

Grow taller

think positive

Enshorten the jacket

o gosh

i don't think you can easily shorten a suit jacket

you cant really at all cause the pockets etc will be in the wrong place then

i was just looking at the wedding photos of a fb friend and i feel like this isn't the first time i've seen this where the groom and groomsmen wear suits and then wear some kind of inappropriate shoe. in this case it was charcoal suits with chunky white boat shoes. here is another example of same from the net:

idk where this look originated but it is so viscerally horrible that i want to kill somebody. what does it even suggest? "i am so unconfident in my ability to wear a suit that i need to accessorize with a reminder i do not dare to take myself seriously/have dignity?"

i'm sorry to sound upset, i just needed to let these feelings out.

you can all wear the same boat shoes but that won't hide the progression of male pattern baldness on display in your family.

those are especially bad boat shoes

Even the kid's shoes are better

yeah terrible. i understand the loafers + suit look that was big in the summer but those look like they're made of scaffolding foam.

just some fun guys having a wedding nbd

I think it's like a bad imitation of some kind of good-ole-boy rich southerner thing

yeah it's def for people who listen to good-timey country pop

you wear khaki suits btw May 15 and June 11 or some bullshit like that

also, slaves

How do you guys feel about the Henley shirt I feel like I've been seeing a lot of them

I don't have hair on my chest I should take advantage

IMO they look very generic department store catalogish. I have seen them advertised a lot lately, is that because of normcore?

may have said this upthread but I have a theory that normcore basically = the stuff that celebrities wear when they go to starbucks and are trying to "blend in"

How do you guys feel about the Henley shirt I feel like I've been seeing a lot of them

It's an Eddie Bauer catalog from 1995 and we're all just living in it.

ive always wondered if they were named after don henley or vice versa

yeah that's exactly the description I was looking for laurel

BTW on what occasions does one wear a shirt w/ a french cuff

Do I need one is my question

IMO any time you wear a suit it's fine, looks funny without one. I'm not partial to them in general though.

No, you don't need any. Except maybe tuxedo shirts, if you're actually going to own a tux.

Do I need one is my question

naw

yes it's only *required* if you are wearing a tuxedo, and then you're getting a tuxedo shirt.

Also dudes who are into cufflinks are usually assholes

I had a colleague who used to wear french cuffs. Certainly no asshole. But he also wore cowboy boots. When you google that combo, you get a full page of results about Rick Perry.

i like french cuff shirts but i am also an asshole

lol

I just meant those dudes that are really into having a bunch of pairs of cufflinks, not anyone who has french cuffs, jeez

don't let these schnooks drag u down 龜

Thank you all for your comments I am going to order a cream shirt with french cuffs

Hey I have another question stemming back from that khaki dudes pic -- are slant pockets suddenly everywhere too? I do not like.

I feel like there are a number of sort of esoteric things lately (slant pockets, ticket pockets, single breast peak lapels) that are worn, but not really noticed, by today's casual suit buyer.

just a lot more options at lower prices I guess

I was also recently browsing through J. Crew's suiting page, and I generally like their suits, but I think it's kind of weird how many different kinds of non-standard suit fabrics they sell, and it just makes me wonder like who is the target demographic for a moderately priced, hip-styled three-piece navy flanel windowpane suit

Young People are expanding beyond just owning an interview suit

Young people are demanding fun suits

ha I almost made reference to a windowpane suit xpost

that said... I think I'd enjoy a flannel windowpane suit

Like who is going to drop $700-800 on this:

https://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/TheSuitShop/PRDOVR~A9182/99103485790/A9182.jsp

It's not a rich dude, because a rich dude is going to drop a lot more. But that's a lot of money for most people to spend on a novelty suit.

People who want to star in a Wes Anderson movie
