ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

v nice

you should have bought a bigger size

tailoring question: how much would you expect to pay in nyc for the following alterations:

suit: let out jacket, let out waist, hem pants
wool pants: let out waist, hem pants
jeans: take in waist, hem pants

?

suit: $80?
pants: $40?
jeans: $50 if selvedge?

ish

Ok, I paid more than that, feel like it was too expensive, but I was sort of in a pinch. He may have charged more for the rush suit order.

suit guess on the low side in hindsight

started my CORP job this week, bought some expensive italian shirts

man alive, where did you go for tailoring?

how long is...

tailor near my office called Peppi's Tailor, little one-man shop. Had some very positive reviews on google and yelp (though not a lot of reviews), and when I talked to the guy on the phone I just liked him for some reason, sounded confident that he knew what he was doing or something.

But he didn't really give me a full breakdown of the itemized charges, just the total, and I was so panicked about making sure the suit is going to be ready (for a wedding) and since he could get it done fast I just said ok. So I feel like he probably overcharged me a little on purpose, but IDK.

lagoon what are the white shoes second from left? tennis classics?

i found out about these beauties long after they'd sold out ... pretty sad abt it tbh: http://www.oipolloi.com/products/reebok-oi-polloi-npc-uk-ii-chalk-sandtrap-collegiate-royal-flat-grey

ive always really hated all white sneaks so more for u guys I guess

I hate them too.

u guys just need to believe in yrselves

love white sneakers - have way too many pairs cos i hate them getting dirty.

i dig them on other folks but i can't do them myself

white and teal is a good look imo

this was the first summer i really went all in with white sneakers. now i need to figure out how to clean them.

dirty white sneakers r good then eventually u throw them away

xp yea my sunglasses are white and teal, agree

also i got new regular glasses last week

what is the sock choice with white sneaks? white seems weird, black seems too stark. i guess i'd go with grey or maybe any color besides black/white with pants, then no-show with shorts?

White sneakers for me will always be associated with doughy guys on their way to synagogue on Yom Kippur, just can't do it.

hits a lil close to home eh... foooolks

i like gray socks with white sneakers, especially since a lot of white sneakers are actually off-white

idk where i can buy air stabs in mtl but i am lusting after them hard rn

got mine on sale from england lol (remember to covert shoe size) http://us.stuartslondon.com/footwear-c67/trainers-sneakers-c69/nike-air-stab-white-emerald-green-shoes-312451-100-p19365/s88950

lot of sneakers on sale there some good deals including some other air stab colorways, got the tennis classics there too http://us.stuartslondon.com/sale/footwear-c67/trainers-sneakers-c69

i am already very tall will the air stabs make me look ridiculous?

no being tall is considered a good thing in our culture

yes but then i worry i am making all the other less tall ppl feel bad when i rock xtra high profile sneaks

just trying to be considerate

its cool it just like another 3/4"

i like the stabs too, there are a few stateside sellers on ebay, my size here

what is up with like male models buttoning the top button of a shirt

i don't really see that many people w/ shirts buttoned to the top

but when i look at shirts online to buy the models always have them buttoned

lol

lately I've been feeling like I need a whole new wardrobe

like I have some jeans and a couple shirts that I like but nothing else that is really working

favorite tees are falling apart past being wearable

favorite hoodie all of a sudden starts to feel like it fits very weirdly, maybe it is just too old at this point
