ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

cool thank u they have one at burberry for only 2 grand

does that include pants or is it just the jacket for 2k

I have a pair of Prince of Wales trousers I got at steep discount from bonobos, they're kind of meh -- too low rise and the material is kind of thin and the stitching is weak.

you'll get prince of wales check in loads of places, suit supply, anywhere and everywhere, i've seen loads of it around last few years. dunno if you want a full suit but if it was just a jacket i saw many of those knocking about.

are you planning on being the new face of the alt-right?

were you ripped off by the primates xp

im actually more alt-alt-right

once you get that alt-right you may as well be alt-left

by choosing to buy this for your closet you've made things a lot easier on yourself re size, condition etc.

feel i cld make it even easier by just imagining its in my closet

tbf you're imagining you have a closet and not a bag of clothes

holy dammit Benetton is all online now in the US? nobody tells me this shit

fyi their tees and cardigans have been running a little long/large ime, get a size down from what you think you should get

or maybe i'm shrinking

tbf you're imagining you have a closet and not a bag of clothes

get a clothes sack in prince of wales check

im imagining being alive not a corpse aloft the briny toss

what is the prince of wales but an old leathery clothes sack

i feel like i've reached some kind of equilibrium in which i feel very satisfied with my wardrobe and i've barely bought any new clothes in a while. almost the only new things i've bought lately have been a couple very solid thrift finds. i feel like i could use a new flannel or denim shirt or two and that's all i really need for the moment

the pattern was named for the crisscross of tattoos he has all over his body

summerweight prince of wales is a great suit imo! gotta be a full suit tho, i don't think it works as a jacket-only fabric.

i've seen some nice jacket-only ones - not really my thing but i thought they looked good, i guess it can vary a bit with material.

i'd be interested in an example of that, it just seems like a pretty darn formal fabric to me. like i can't picture the pants you'd wear with it.

it's a good pantsless jacket ime

hey so i got this jacket which is otherwise perfect but... it's got this thing with, like, a raw cut? the front pockets are normal but the sleeves etc. get kind of weird after a few hours-- what the hell is this?

if you're not going to wear pants a top-notch jacket is key

as the grandson of a tailor i can tell you, you should never wear pants with any jacket, ever.

i am in need of topsiders atm

Ok v basic question: boots under $100 that stand up well to rain and deep snow but are still comfortable and non-clunky enough to walk long distances on city sidewalks and subway commute. My snow boots are p much only useful in like 6 inches plus of snow.

sadly I think the dollar figure at the beginning of your equation is where you might be getting stuck

These are $95 -- thoughts?

go for it! if they last two winters you've made out imo

timberlands are about $110

cover them in sno-seal

cover all boots in sno-seal iirc

timberlands are about $110

eh, maybe
then you get to wear timberlands

actually i think you'll find if you look on page 93729 in your copy of take ivy it very clearly states "timbs all seasons for ass kicking reasons"

recommend me some reasonably biz-caj looking timbs then

cmon man all of them count if you're allowing those sorels

there are no biz-caj snowboots yall

depends on the biz

remember when business casual originally meant "not a suit, but nearly a suit" and went through the "something with khakis" phase including polo shirts (some ppl will forever be in khaki land) and now it's just... don't wear a non-craft beer t-shirt

the slipperiest of slopes

I guess I don't really mean biz caj, I just mean some timbs that don't look like the classic work boots but are still usable as snow boots.

i wear black Blundstones to work in a bizcaj office, sometimes i even forget to take them off and no one's ever mentioned it. wear thick socks and put cow goo on them to protect the leather. going into second Québec winter looking good as new

yah a chelsea boot works pretty well

I wanted some non-insulated higher boots last year and just grabbed some of the matte doc martens

love boots. winter fashion generally is so much more fun - i realised this year that in the summer i just feel like tintin for the duration, shorts and sneakers and a t-shirt or whatever, comfortable but almost impossible to feel you're actually dressed well in any sense. whereas stomping out of the house in boots, coat, scarf and a big knit just feels so much better.

I love boots. They're my default & I've got enough variants on the brown boot to cover everything short of high summer.
Sometimes wish I could justify lined boots. I see Loake Wolfs with a third to a half off now and again, but I know I sit in an office and my feet would get far too hot.

Also I don't think the English winter is cold enough. But I might hunt for a nice pair of heavy, veldtschoen-welted boots in the sales.

haven't worn boots in a long time. my default winter shows are some Nike Air Force Ones that are actually quite bulky but manage to keep the wet out while still being bouncy enough to chip around in quite comfortably. I find footwear the hardest thing to shop for. wouldn't mind getting some boots though.

feel like boots need their own thread before this turns into str8 fire kix pt 2 arctic shuffle

i'd care more if i had to walk outside for any great distance

minus 13 degrees celsius this morning. stay warm, fellows
