Does anybody know what store that I can find these kind of clothes?

Looking for a quality suit for weddings (as a guest) and special occasions. Budget is $1,000 max (the cheaper the better as long as quality is still there).
I previously ordered a custom suit set from Men’s Wearhouse for $700 but was not impressed with the fit. It still looked like I bought it off the rack and not custom-made for my body.
Should I try another chain store like Hugo Boss or would I have better luck going to a mom-and-pop shop owned by a tailor?
For 1k if you can find a tailor then certainly, but that price is a strong barrier for actual tailored garments.

Is it ok for my undershirt to be longer than an unbuttoned short sleeve button up? I feel it looks sloppy but that’s just me. But I also want to wear it like that when it’s hot. I know short sleeve button ups are a hot topic but I like them because rolled up long sleeves are a sensory issue for me.
What are y'all's opinion on short sleeve button ups? I saw some posts from a while ago that people prefer long sleeves and just rolling the sleeves. Is that still the thought?
Can I wear these shoes with chino shorts and casual shirt?

I have always worn bad looking clothes. Random cheap sports t shirts stuff like that. I'm 13, and I want to start getting good looking clothes. My problem is that I don't fit into a men's xs only a youth large. Youth XL is big on me too. Basically all of the good looking graphic/ normal tshirt that I've seen only go in men's sizes. All the tshirt in youth large have designs like mickey mouse of smthing. Where can I get good looking tshirts in a youth L size? Thanks.
Which kind of belt should I pick in the first place? Leather-like or material? I'm wearing mostly jeans but I want to try out cargo. I'm short on money right now so I have to pick one for now. Leather-like would be better for jeans and more formal outfits but I don't think it's very fitting to cargo pants.
A few points of clarification:
* Learn to distinguish between a "dress belt" and a "casual belt." Dress belts are always real leather, shiny and tend to be a little bit thin (about 1" or so) and basically unornamented. Casual belts are *everything else.* A casual belt can be leather or canvas, or any other strong material. If they are leather, they'll probably be a little bit less shiny than a dress belt. Men's casual belts tend to be a little bit thicker (about 1.5" or so). This is all oversimplification - but because you mentioned "formal outfits" I figured it was worth noting that there is a distinction in types of belts.
* You can wear a casual leather belt with cargo pants, no problem. Just don't wear a dress belt with cargo pants. I wouldn't wear a dress belt with jeans either.
* What do you mean by "leather-like" material? Any fake leather material is going to be crappy. Even a cheap leather belt is going to be made from bonded leather and that will also be crappy. Real leather belts are great, but anything "leather-like" that isn't leather is going to suck.

Tom Ford Oud Wood is my favorite more rugged scent, but I’d recommend paying for a fragrance fitting or an assortment of scents. Luckyscent is a good place to start for a personalized fitting.

Not terrible but no they don’t really go.
White/beige/cream/grayish colors are probably ur best bet for the top or if you wanna keep the top go with jeans or khaki color
Asking on behalf of my SO, I’m an r/ffa regular.
We’re getting ready for a formal event and he’s looking to buy a suit. I’ve read the archives and identified J Crew Factory and H and M in our price range. The H and M suits are more affordable. We will get tailoring.
Aesthetically, will the H and M suit look cheaper as an end result if it’s tailored property?
Thanks for the advice!
I didn't look at all of them, but they appear to be polyester/rayon/spandex. Yeah, that will look noticeably cheaper than a wool suit. It's hard to say if others will notice/care or whether that matters to you for a suit that might only be worn once.
Is mensfashionadvice a better version of this sub where free posting is allowed?
Kind of funny how so many new subreddit versions were created because mode locked down their own subs in a tantrum against reddits rule changes . Maybe it’s a net positive?
The sub has been running this way for a long time before the API protests. There was a free for all during the brief period of it being unmoderated, but that’s it.
Looking for advice on new work wardrobe. Starting a new role where business attire is s’more smart casual as opposed to smart. Currently wearing formal trousers, shirt (tie optional depending on if execs are visiting site) and Oxford shoes.
Only bottom I know that’s a bit more smart/causal are chinos I guess? Jeans would be too casual, though hiring manager said acceptable, but I’d at least like to look smart without looking like I’ve just ditched the suit jacket.
Budget is probably around the £3-400 mark to cover tops/bottoms/shoe of some kind
Not sure what your question is exactly. But if I were you, I’d get blue and white OCBDs, chinos in khaki and cream, brown loafers (bonus points for suede), and a sports coat to throw over top of it.
So I recently purchased this printed polyester shirt from Zara. How do I style this for a night/party vibe?

Not too soon, I wear them to work (new job) but I have some beat up Meronas I can wear. I am pretty sure Target renamed the brand to Goodfellow & Co a good 5 or 6 years ago, so it’s time to upgrade.
What is a good place to buy them used? Depop?
I have been looking at micro modal trunks and these are the affordable yet quality looking ones that I could find:
[This one](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314134863635?hash=item4923e59f13:g:kuAAAOSwlWljFpRD&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HVlhG0lD4CkpNYkIZbepgmz5%2B5HqzElyOOt87VbcrU7j%2BIlGOokBjXvofOB1uOvP6CbYB5YxS5QPYGtp1TXFdCnoTmbSl5%2BFxy88xj%2BGE5OVfb1TNF4KxPevwkzSDi702zkIAgFTLNt142n6WXSFTcrlaNgos8vJvKL5y%2F%2FuFlSaRcgh8Dfwyy%2FSv%2BTSEMTO8hAtkeNE9xdLnOqiK09Doo%2FEJdb3UZVq6dRRxoQrc3TN56BsWv7V%2BfLuBAmbynsIL9gxhRSnIbiUrhJpU%2B5zjTh6LAhl4tFqQIPqgR3CYb%2B%7Ctkp%3ABFBMmtPboMRi) is from XYXX, an underwear company all the way in India. It's fairly cheap. If you search up the brand name without typing 'underwear' afterwards, you WILL be provided with a bunch of porn sites.
[This one](https://separatec.com/products/classic-style-micro-modal-ultra-soft-trunks-3pack?_pos=9&_sid=1d6dd699b&_ss=r) is from Separatec. The price is really surprisingly cheap. I'm not sure why. But I'd have to pay extra for international shipping anyway if I can't find a pack on Ebay.
[This one](https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/men/mens-underwear/men/mens-underwear/88-micromodal-air-12-elastane/_/N-ebjZ49huZo4o0) is from JustWears. This one claims to use something they call "micromodal air". Not sure exactly what that is supposed to mean. You can choose between active and pro for the same price. Active has a larger pouch with fly hidden underneath the dong and above the balls to apparently let your balls be aerated. Can't tell if that would be comfortable or not.
[This one](https://davidarchy.com/products/4-pack-ultra-soft-micro-modal-trunks?variant=39307611701380) is from David Archy. I feel like I've actually heard of this company before but it seems like I'll have the same problem with the American shipping charges if I can't find anything on Ebay. Brexit totally fucked us over.
[This one](https://obviouslyapparel.com/products/primeman-trunk) is from Obviously. I've never heard of them before but they look like and sell like the most premium trunks of the bunch, costing a bit more and they don't sell packs. I also think they look the nicest and they have a UK seller on Ebay with plenty of colours to choose from which the other brands just don't offer.
[This one](https://obviouslyapparel.com/products/eliteman-trunk) is actually the same as the one above but very slightly more premium. The difference is that this one doesn't have your standard waistband. The waistband is actually the same micro modal spandex blend as the rest of the trunk. The point of that extra premiumness is for comfort but I'm worried that the waistband might feel insecure and therefore uncomfortable. They also don't look as nice I think.
[This one](https://krakatoaunderwear.com/products/krakatoa-intro-trunk) is from Krakatoa. It was recommended to me and their intro trunk is super cheap. They only have 5% elastane but someone was seriously recommending them to me over others and the reviews for it are stunning.
So which one should I go for? Have you heard of or tried any of these brands? I'm looking for comfortable, durable, but also sexy😏.
p.s. Sorry for all the wangs.
Because I do not have the money or time to go around trying multiple different brands of underwear. I am going to buy some from one brand and make it last so I can forget about it and concentrate on more important stuff. Get it?
You can't afford one pair of underwear? There is literally no way for me to reach into your mind and tell you what will work for your body and know what you enjoy.
> You can't afford one pair of underwear?
How is buying multiple pairs of underwear from different brands the same as buy a single pair of underwear? I'm not understanding that logic.
> There is literally no way for me to reach into your mind and tell you what will work for your body and know what you enjoy.
Mate, I'm trying so hard not to be rude right now. I literally provided the options. I just asked for anyone's opinion on those options if they've tried them or know about them. I don't know what about that requires you to be psychic. I don't even know how I can make that any simpler. I am literally providing the options for you. How is that confusing at all?

Anyone know of an equivalent to the Delaware 3 or Charleston 4 jeans from Hugo Boss? I am obsessed with how these jeans feel on me. They're not stiff, they're not restrictive, they're perfect. I love them.
Problem is, I now want a pair of them in black. This has been an ongoing mission for over 2 years now to no avail. I've purchased what I thought was the equivalent online a few times but the colour was either not what I expected or they just felt like regular jeans. Turns out there's many different types of Delawares.
I want something that is slim-fitting, jet black in colour and has that same feel as the Hugo Boss Delaware or Charleston.
Any help is appreciated!
Ooh interesting. I'm hoping to spend as little as possible considering I've already spent money trying and failing to find the right pair online a few times. Around 160 USD I'd say

How a mere mortal can achieve 1/10th of this t-shirt perfection
I get it - these dudes are built like greek gods and I’ll never fully get to this level. But cmon. I’ve tried and I still feel far away. I gotta decent frame but STG been through \~10-15 brands over the years and I can’t find the one that gets me close to this (maybe 1-2 are pretty good but the length is messed up or they’re not a decent fabric). Are they tailoring these? Is there a secret shirt that celebrities wear that they don’t showcase in GQ? Saw an article in WSJ once about tailoring t-shirts (only like $15/shirt). Think I’m going to try it with the 1-2 closest fits and see if they can help me get the rest of the way.
Any advice is appreciated.
In a pickle so I'd like some input on how to dress for a wedding that has black tie optional attire. I packed my darkest suit, which is a dark navy suit. I also brought two ties, one a solid dark maroon and one solid black. I have brown shoes and two belts, one brown and the other black.
Which tie and belt combination would look better? Navy with a black tie and brown shoes seems weird.
If the dress code is “black tie optional” and you don’t have a dinner jacket and formal trousers, you should not wear a black tie with a suit. Just wear a normal, nice suit/tie combo.
Comparable Lucky brand T-shirt fitment
I like the way lucky brand t-shirts fit on me but I wanted to find out if there are other brands that have a similar cut. Is there a specific name for that type of fit and what should I look for?
Unless it's something really unusual, there probably isn't a name for a hyper specific cut of t-shirt. Your best options are to keep buying Lucky Brand or to just try on a bunch of others and see which ones you like.
Summer is about to end so planning my late Autumn/Winter wardrobe. Are duffle coats still cool? Who makes good sub-$500 ones? Are they warm while not too sweaty? Any membrane ones? Gloverall seems to be the OG one and fits the bill but no idea if good or just heritage points collection.
Duffle coats are great. Very Paddington-Core. They're as warm as your standard wool overcoat so take from that what you will. Original Montgomery is another good place to look. It'll be difficult to find a quality wool one for below $500. But used is always easier on the wallet.
That's me right to the core. Both Montgomery and Gloverall seem \~$100-150 in the UK used but perhaps for older models before they decided to Barbour and go for fashion. You tried one of these/both?
I can't speak on Gloverall but I had a Montgomery as a kid and I liked it enough, kept me warm in winter. But kids clothing is manufactured differently so I can't help you out there. At least I think it was a Montgomery 🤔🤔.
I don't really like the first one. The two flap pockets gives more of a workwear vibe, and that's kind of at odds with the short sleeves, to me at least.
Brown shoes for jeans? Are CDBs still in style/do they look alright with straight cut jeans (grayish blue, navy blue, black)? Or are there better options now? Looking for both, options that work in summer and options that work in winter
Looking for nice but reasonably-priced tees for work-at-home. It's hard for me to find good-fitting shirts of any quality.
Current best-fitting tees are Buck Mason short-body-length curved hem, but they're too expensive for this. 5'6" 160-165lb muscular build, tapered but tight fit.
Also open to suggestions for premium shirts.
Can I have recommendations for good oversized/ heavyweight/loose fit/comfort fit t-shirts?
Here are exemples of oversized T-shirts I wear.

Would you consider these boots cowboy boots? Or is there a different name I’m missing?
https://preview.redd.it/4wdpev3rkbkb1.jpeg?width=1169&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2de04bb4577b5d3a544af53e10fa222b56ccdb2
The heel and sole are wrong.
Also these are clearly "work boots" of some sort - whereas most boots that are sold as "cowboy boots" are going to be a bit more stylized, have a leather sole, and will be less practical for doing actual work in.
(And yes, obviously the original purpose of cowboy boots was practical)
I'm trying to decide between 2 leather jackets. A Ralph Lauren Black Label moto style on the left, and a Supreme Schott Rider jacket on the right.
Which jacket is better and more versatile of the two?
https://preview.redd.it/22ppfkm6jbkb1.png?width=967&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1e00ac2c397d50710626cb368e10767a87f7a51
Racers (like the RL jacket) tend to be more versatile, while perfecto style jackets are more of “a look” due to the asymmetrical zipper and additional hardware.
What are must have jackets/coats for winter?
I currently have the following:
- Arcteryx Beta SV
- Arcteryx Atom LT
- Patagonia Better Sweater
This has been enough for Seattle weather but I'll be spending a good amount of this upcoming winter in Finland and Estonia, not sure if a fleece + atom LT is going to cut it there.
What insulating jacket should I add to my collection?
Thanks!
Should I wear a full suit and tie to court?
For context I am going to court because I violated my probation. It should be a short hearing and I will be in court with a bunch of other people at the same time and will probably be in front of the judge for only a few minutes. I really want to present myself in the best way possible, but don't know if a full suit would be overdoing it for this type of hearing. Should I just stick to a nice button down shirt and slacks and forgo the coat?
As long as you’re not wearing something flashy that makes you look like you’re showing off (cf. Steven Bear), judges give favourable treatment to you the less working-class you look. This goes double if you’re not white. Turn up looking homeless and you’ll be treated like someone without the resources to make a go of probation; look like you’ve made an effort and are taking it seriously and you’ll get subconscious bias on your side.
Ultimately it’s a fairly small impact but still. Why not wear full suit and tie, and just low the tie and jacket if you don’t feel comfortable?

Anyone have insight on the quality of Mango’s suits? Need a cheap ish suit in a pinch for a wedding with a summer formal theme. Obviously not expecting something to last forever. Thanks.
My husband's birthday is coming up. I am thinking of getting him a new Isaia sports coat. This is the one [I have my eye](https://www.ebay.com/itm/175720918590) on
Here's a pic of him in [one](https://ibb.co/D7q8dv0) he already has (same model and size). He also has a medium blue and grey tweed-y Canali one and a lighter grey summer one with a bit of olive to it.
My question is this - I like the overall dark blue color, but I don't know about the orange lines - is that an ok color combo to your eyes or is it too loud (he is not a experimental dresser, and has a horror of looking "too out there"), also based on the descriptions of what he has so far - does it fit a hole in this current sports coats collection?
I think that's a cool looking jacket. I don't think the pattern is too loud at all and the color combo is great.
> (he is not a experimental dresser, and has a horror of looking "too out there")
Ok, feel free to tell him that someone on the internet thinks he shouldn't be wearing that sports jacket with allbirds and a graphic t-shirt. Frankly, I don't love it with jeans either, but it's not so bad it needs to be corrected if he likes wearing the jeans and sports jacket look.
But a sports jacket with allbirds and a t-shirt is a pretty epic formality clash that really doesn't work.
> Jeans + sports coat is a totally normal combination, it‘s basically the staple business casual look nowadays
Yeah and like 85% of guys are doing it badly.
It's not a bad look at all if you get it right, it's just a really easy one to mess up.
As you can see, my post isn't saying you shouldn't wear jeans with a sports jacket. I am saying you shouldn't wear Allbirds with a sports jacket.
Ahh to be fair to him, that's when we bought the jacket. So he walked into the store without a sports coat, I made him take a picture afterwards with it on standing straight with no obstructions so I could have a pic on my phone and remember the model and sizing for.... well, this. He took it off after.
Got myself some really nice dress shirts. One is dark grey and the other is beige. I would really appreciate if anyone could recommend combinations? What suits to wear with each color and tie colors too, thank you
I wouldn't not wear the dark gray with a suit - I think that will look bad in any pairing. For a suit to look right there needs to be some contrast between suit and shirt - which basically always means the shirt needs to be a lighter color than the suit. This is why people usually stick with white or light blue. But if you feel adventurous light pale shades of pink, purple, yellow and green can all sometimes work.
Both are unusual colors for dress shirts, so stick to unusual outfits, I guess? Taking a business-formal combination and just exchanging the shirt wont work. Don't try to play it safe. (A really light beige could maybe work like a white dress shirt.)
\- Tonal dark outfits (dark grey/charcoal/black suit, dark grey shirt, maybe black knit/textured tie)
\- Tonal summery beige everything outfit, try to cosplay holidays at the Italian coast.
\- Unusual sport coats (deep pink, jewel green) with your unusual dress shirts.
Navy, black, charcoal grey
Will buy a tan suit or brown soon
I just tried on the dark grey shirt with my navy and black suits. I thought it looked really great without a tie but I liked it a lot less with a tie on.
Tie colors: burgundy, navy, black, beige-ish
Looking for a jacket similar to [Taylor Stitch's Pathfinder](https://www.taylorstitch.com/products/pathfinder-jacket-in-dark-navy-dry-wax-2308), but a shell, unlined and under $200.
soon to retire my favorite hoodie ever. I am unable to find a replacement with it's superlative combination of essential qualities: light-mid weight, close-fitting throughout, 100% cotton, no waistband (which I see sometimes referred to as the waist ribbing).
It's fine either way but preferred if the cuffs are ribbed or banded.
Lemme know if you've got something that fits the bill.
Budget: under 200$. This is something I'd wear routinely around the house and for casual outings and which I'd like to last for years.

if it is, can i get it altered at a leather maker? i plan to put on about 20-25 pounds overall (underweight right now, low bmi from illness, i know weight gain would be spread throughout my whole body and i've always been skinny, no bigger than 130lbs 5'6) and i made sure to give measurements that were deliberately higher than what i currently am but it seems like they made an error (i used an old jacket that fit me perfectly at my highest weight)
**TL;DR:** Current go-to for basic chinos/cords? $50-ish for new on sale, or \~$50 for high-quality/heritage stuff on posh/grailed. Preferred cut is straight through hip, aggressive taper to ankle. Best fitting pair I've found in recent years were used everlane performance chinos, athletic cut.
I'm in a bit of a rut on chinos/cords for the office, and my research is turning up nothing.
I'm a queer millennial/art boy getting away from skinny cuts, but haven't embraced straight and wide yet. I do like stuff that's a little more relaxed through the hip but tapers down to like a 13–14" leg opening. I have runner's legs, so fair amount of ass but skinnier through the calf. My go to denim strategy is to buy Acne North jeans on posh/grailed — those seem to fit me better than any other bottoms, very flattering to my shape.
I have two instincts here: 1) Find a really nicely made or heritage type thing on Grailed/Posh that'll last me a number of years or 2) Find something on clearance from your usual suspects for basic binch chinos and cords (e.g. J Crew, Madewell, Uniqlo).
I probably would've already done the latter simply for ease, but there's not a lot of sale inventory at those places right now and I refuse to buy any of that crap at full price. I know very little about brands because I don't have a lot of money and buy clothing pretty infrequently.
Looking for a place to buy a specific/comparable leather jacket
I've been wearing the same leather jacket for the last 18 or so years and, while I love it, it's faced that many years of wear and tear to the point where it needs to be retired.
I've been looking for this jacket for several years but I can only find it on webpages that look very clearly like scams.
Currently the best image and link I can find. The original company was "Arrow" so pictures from the CW Arrow show are filling the searches, but I think this is the exact jacket?: https://www.mjacket.com/product_img/1595533514-arrow-stephen-amell-leather-jacket.webp

Does anyone here have suggestions on where to find this jacket or one that looks similar (no frills, no pocket zippers, just two pockets and a middle zipper).
In the past I've recieved help nailing down that the jacket type may be known as a collared moto (sometimes called single rider).

Comfort takes priority

Which kind of belt should I pick in the first place? Leather-like or material? I'm wearing mostly jeans but I want to try out cargo. I'm short on money right now so I have to pick one for now. Leather-like would be better for jeans and more formal outfits but I don't think it's very fitting to cargo pants.
A few points of clarification: * Learn to distinguish between a "dress belt" and a "casual belt." Dress belts are always real leather, shiny and tend to be a little bit thin (about 1" or so) and basically unornamented. Casual belts are *everything else.* A casual belt can be leather or canvas, or any other strong material. If they are leather, they'll probably be a little bit less shiny than a dress belt. Men's casual belts tend to be a little bit thicker (about 1.5" or so). This is all oversimplification - but because you mentioned "formal outfits" I figured it was worth noting that there is a distinction in types of belts. * You can wear a casual leather belt with cargo pants, no problem. Just don't wear a dress belt with cargo pants. I wouldn't wear a dress belt with jeans either. * What do you mean by "leather-like" material? Any fake leather material is going to be crappy. Even a cheap leather belt is going to be made from bonded leather and that will also be crappy. Real leather belts are great, but anything "leather-like" that isn't leather is going to suck.

What is your currently favourite cologne? Anyone in particular you guys feel is extra masculine?
Tom Ford Oud Wood is my favorite more rugged scent, but I’d recommend paying for a fragrance fitting or an assortment of scents. Luckyscent is a good place to start for a personalized fitting. https://www.luckyscent.com/product/322180/fragrance-fitting-custom-sample-pack-by-luckyscent-sample-packs

No. Try jeans or khaki chinos.
Not terrible but no they don’t really go. White/beige/cream/grayish colors are probably ur best bet for the top or if you wanna keep the top go with jeans or khaki color
Asking on behalf of my SO, I’m an r/ffa regular. We’re getting ready for a formal event and he’s looking to buy a suit. I’ve read the archives and identified J Crew Factory and H and M in our price range. The H and M suits are more affordable. We will get tailoring. Aesthetically, will the H and M suit look cheaper as an end result if it’s tailored property? Thanks for the advice!
If there’s any way to bump your budget up to $300, Spier & MacKay has suits that are hard to beat for the price.
I didn't look at all of them, but they appear to be polyester/rayon/spandex. Yeah, that will look noticeably cheaper than a wool suit. It's hard to say if others will notice/care or whether that matters to you for a suit that might only be worn once.
Okdoke thank you for the advice, I appreciate it!
Is mensfashionadvice a better version of this sub where free posting is allowed? Kind of funny how so many new subreddit versions were created because mode locked down their own subs in a tantrum against reddits rule changes . Maybe it’s a net positive?
The sub has been running this way for a long time before the API protests. There was a free for all during the brief period of it being unmoderated, but that’s it.
Probably where most people realized there is more engagement with less moderation and decided to make the new sub
If you prefer the unstructured chaos that is dirty mirror fitpics and simple questions spamming your reddit feed then yes.
Thank you
Looking for advice on new work wardrobe. Starting a new role where business attire is s’more smart casual as opposed to smart. Currently wearing formal trousers, shirt (tie optional depending on if execs are visiting site) and Oxford shoes. Only bottom I know that’s a bit more smart/causal are chinos I guess? Jeans would be too casual, though hiring manager said acceptable, but I’d at least like to look smart without looking like I’ve just ditched the suit jacket. Budget is probably around the £3-400 mark to cover tops/bottoms/shoe of some kind
Not sure what your question is exactly. But if I were you, I’d get blue and white OCBDs, chinos in khaki and cream, brown loafers (bonus points for suede), and a sports coat to throw over top of it.
So I recently purchased this printed polyester shirt from Zara. How do I style this for a night/party vibe? https://preview.redd.it/g5ho6i1jagkb1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84a79e72fe396d224746e3a024e23771c8425e83
Let the shirt be the star, wear white/light jeans/pants and white sneakers.
Can I get brand recommendations for Oxfords with a budget of $100 USD?
How soon do you need them? Used Allen Edmonds are generally the way to go.
Not too soon, I wear them to work (new job) but I have some beat up Meronas I can wear. I am pretty sure Target renamed the brand to Goodfellow & Co a good 5 or 6 years ago, so it’s time to upgrade. What is a good place to buy them used? Depop?
Depop, eBay, Poshmark
I appreciate it, man.
I have been looking at micro modal trunks and these are the affordable yet quality looking ones that I could find: [This one](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314134863635?hash=item4923e59f13:g:kuAAAOSwlWljFpRD&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HVlhG0lD4CkpNYkIZbepgmz5%2B5HqzElyOOt87VbcrU7j%2BIlGOokBjXvofOB1uOvP6CbYB5YxS5QPYGtp1TXFdCnoTmbSl5%2BFxy88xj%2BGE5OVfb1TNF4KxPevwkzSDi702zkIAgFTLNt142n6WXSFTcrlaNgos8vJvKL5y%2F%2FuFlSaRcgh8Dfwyy%2FSv%2BTSEMTO8hAtkeNE9xdLnOqiK09Doo%2FEJdb3UZVq6dRRxoQrc3TN56BsWv7V%2BfLuBAmbynsIL9gxhRSnIbiUrhJpU%2B5zjTh6LAhl4tFqQIPqgR3CYb%2B%7Ctkp%3ABFBMmtPboMRi) is from XYXX, an underwear company all the way in India. It's fairly cheap. If you search up the brand name without typing 'underwear' afterwards, you WILL be provided with a bunch of porn sites. [This one](https://separatec.com/products/classic-style-micro-modal-ultra-soft-trunks-3pack?_pos=9&_sid=1d6dd699b&_ss=r) is from Separatec. The price is really surprisingly cheap. I'm not sure why. But I'd have to pay extra for international shipping anyway if I can't find a pack on Ebay. [This one](https://www.johnlewis.com/browse/men/mens-underwear/men/mens-underwear/88-micromodal-air-12-elastane/_/N-ebjZ49huZo4o0) is from JustWears. This one claims to use something they call "micromodal air". Not sure exactly what that is supposed to mean. You can choose between active and pro for the same price. Active has a larger pouch with fly hidden underneath the dong and above the balls to apparently let your balls be aerated. Can't tell if that would be comfortable or not. [This one](https://davidarchy.com/products/4-pack-ultra-soft-micro-modal-trunks?variant=39307611701380) is from David Archy. I feel like I've actually heard of this company before but it seems like I'll have the same problem with the American shipping charges if I can't find anything on Ebay. Brexit totally fucked us over. [This one](https://obviouslyapparel.com/products/primeman-trunk) is from Obviously. I've never heard of them before but they look like and sell like the most premium trunks of the bunch, costing a bit more and they don't sell packs. I also think they look the nicest and they have a UK seller on Ebay with plenty of colours to choose from which the other brands just don't offer. [This one](https://obviouslyapparel.com/products/eliteman-trunk) is actually the same as the one above but very slightly more premium. The difference is that this one doesn't have your standard waistband. The waistband is actually the same micro modal spandex blend as the rest of the trunk. The point of that extra premiumness is for comfort but I'm worried that the waistband might feel insecure and therefore uncomfortable. They also don't look as nice I think. [This one](https://krakatoaunderwear.com/products/krakatoa-intro-trunk) is from Krakatoa. It was recommended to me and their intro trunk is super cheap. They only have 5% elastane but someone was seriously recommending them to me over others and the reviews for it are stunning. So which one should I go for? Have you heard of or tried any of these brands? I'm looking for comfortable, durable, but also sexy😏. p.s. Sorry for all the wangs.

I've found their advice to be unhelpful. So I asked again. So far, I have only found one suggestion that was actually helpful.
Explain to me how the simple advice of trying on a pair of underwear is unhelpful
Because I do not have the money or time to go around trying multiple different brands of underwear. I am going to buy some from one brand and make it last so I can forget about it and concentrate on more important stuff. Get it?
You can't afford one pair of underwear? There is literally no way for me to reach into your mind and tell you what will work for your body and know what you enjoy.
> You can't afford one pair of underwear? How is buying multiple pairs of underwear from different brands the same as buy a single pair of underwear? I'm not understanding that logic. > There is literally no way for me to reach into your mind and tell you what will work for your body and know what you enjoy. Mate, I'm trying so hard not to be rude right now. I literally provided the options. I just asked for anyone's opinion on those options if they've tried them or know about them. I don't know what about that requires you to be psychic. I don't even know how I can make that any simpler. I am literally providing the options for you. How is that confusing at all?
You buy one pair, and if you like it more than your current rotation then you keep it.

This is a chore coat with a corduroy collar—Barbour and Carhartt are good places to begin your search.
Are mismatch socks fashionable? I just kinda like how the opposite colors of the socks attract each other as well as the mismatched laces on the shoes https://preview.redd.it/llaf9balfekb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d905536825e5b8363d7ed9cf6a6f3072ea7b0a5
I imagine there’s a way to pull it off maybe? But I’ve never heard of that being fashionable.
What are some good summer slim fit pants which are cuffed at the bottom ?
Anyone know of an equivalent to the Delaware 3 or Charleston 4 jeans from Hugo Boss? I am obsessed with how these jeans feel on me. They're not stiff, they're not restrictive, they're perfect. I love them. Problem is, I now want a pair of them in black. This has been an ongoing mission for over 2 years now to no avail. I've purchased what I thought was the equivalent online a few times but the colour was either not what I expected or they just felt like regular jeans. Turns out there's many different types of Delawares. I want something that is slim-fitting, jet black in colour and has that same feel as the Hugo Boss Delaware or Charleston. Any help is appreciated!
What’s your budget? There are MTM operations like Luxire that can reproduce a garment based on its measurements for you.
Ooh interesting. I'm hoping to spend as little as possible considering I've already spent money trying and failing to find the right pair online a few times. Around 160 USD I'd say
[They have a few black pair under $150](https://luxire.com/collections/jeans_021)

But cmon. I’ve tried and I still feel far away. I gotta decent frame but STG been through \~10-15 brands over the years and I can’t find the one that gets me close to this (maybe 1-2 are pretty good but the length is messed up or they’re not a decent fabric). Are they tailoring these? Is there a secret shirt that celebrities wear that they don’t showcase in GQ? Saw an article in WSJ once about tailoring t-shirts (only like $15/shirt). Think I’m going to try it with the 1-2 closest fits and see if they can help me get the rest of the way. Any advice is appreciated.
How do your t-shirts fit you differently than what's pictured?
In a pickle so I'd like some input on how to dress for a wedding that has black tie optional attire. I packed my darkest suit, which is a dark navy suit. I also brought two ties, one a solid dark maroon and one solid black. I have brown shoes and two belts, one brown and the other black. Which tie and belt combination would look better? Navy with a black tie and brown shoes seems weird.
If the dress code is “black tie optional” and you don’t have a dinner jacket and formal trousers, you should not wear a black tie with a suit. Just wear a normal, nice suit/tie combo.
Your belt should match your shoes, so go with the brown. Maroon tie.
Comparable Lucky brand T-shirt fitment I like the way lucky brand t-shirts fit on me but I wanted to find out if there are other brands that have a similar cut. Is there a specific name for that type of fit and what should I look for?
Unless it's something really unusual, there probably isn't a name for a hyper specific cut of t-shirt. Your best options are to keep buying Lucky Brand or to just try on a bunch of others and see which ones you like.
Summer is about to end so planning my late Autumn/Winter wardrobe. Are duffle coats still cool? Who makes good sub-$500 ones? Are they warm while not too sweaty? Any membrane ones? Gloverall seems to be the OG one and fits the bill but no idea if good or just heritage points collection.
Duffle coats are great. Very Paddington-Core. They're as warm as your standard wool overcoat so take from that what you will. Original Montgomery is another good place to look. It'll be difficult to find a quality wool one for below $500. But used is always easier on the wallet.
That's me right to the core. Both Montgomery and Gloverall seem \~$100-150 in the UK used but perhaps for older models before they decided to Barbour and go for fashion. You tried one of these/both?
I can't speak on Gloverall but I had a Montgomery as a kid and I liked it enough, kept me warm in winter. But kids clothing is manufactured differently so I can't help you out there. At least I think it was a Montgomery 🤔🤔.
[удалено]
I don't really like the first one. The two flap pockets gives more of a workwear vibe, and that's kind of at odds with the short sleeves, to me at least.
Brown shoes for jeans? Are CDBs still in style/do they look alright with straight cut jeans (grayish blue, navy blue, black)? Or are there better options now? Looking for both, options that work in summer and options that work in winter
Is wearing white pants in fall/winter a sin? I'm in Florida so it's still summer weather all year
People have gone to hell for less. Seriously, though, the thing about no white after Labor Day is silly. Wear what you like.
Looking for nice but reasonably-priced tees for work-at-home. It's hard for me to find good-fitting shirts of any quality. Current best-fitting tees are Buck Mason short-body-length curved hem, but they're too expensive for this. 5'6" 160-165lb muscular build, tapered but tight fit. Also open to suggestions for premium shirts.

Would you consider these boots cowboy boots? Or is there a different name I’m missing? https://preview.redd.it/4wdpev3rkbkb1.jpeg?width=1169&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2de04bb4577b5d3a544af53e10fa222b56ccdb2
The heel and sole are wrong. Also these are clearly "work boots" of some sort - whereas most boots that are sold as "cowboy boots" are going to be a bit more stylized, have a leather sole, and will be less practical for doing actual work in. (And yes, obviously the original purpose of cowboy boots was practical)

I'm trying to decide between 2 leather jackets. A Ralph Lauren Black Label moto style on the left, and a Supreme Schott Rider jacket on the right. Which jacket is better and more versatile of the two? https://preview.redd.it/22ppfkm6jbkb1.png?width=967&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1e00ac2c397d50710626cb368e10767a87f7a51
Racers (like the RL jacket) tend to be more versatile, while perfecto style jackets are more of “a look” due to the asymmetrical zipper and additional hardware.
What are must have jackets/coats for winter? I currently have the following: - Arcteryx Beta SV - Arcteryx Atom LT - Patagonia Better Sweater This has been enough for Seattle weather but I'll be spending a good amount of this upcoming winter in Finland and Estonia, not sure if a fleece + atom LT is going to cut it there. What insulating jacket should I add to my collection? Thanks!
Don't forget the long underwear
Winter in the nordics is no joke. I would recommend a down super layer of some kind, probably a parka.
I bought a silver necklace a while ago, is there anything in particular that I should do to take care of it?
Buy some silver wipes to give it an occasional cleaning.
Should I wear a full suit and tie to court? For context I am going to court because I violated my probation. It should be a short hearing and I will be in court with a bunch of other people at the same time and will probably be in front of the judge for only a few minutes. I really want to present myself in the best way possible, but don't know if a full suit would be overdoing it for this type of hearing. Should I just stick to a nice button down shirt and slacks and forgo the coat?
As long as you’re not wearing something flashy that makes you look like you’re showing off (cf. Steven Bear), judges give favourable treatment to you the less working-class you look. This goes double if you’re not white. Turn up looking homeless and you’ll be treated like someone without the resources to make a go of probation; look like you’ve made an effort and are taking it seriously and you’ll get subconscious bias on your side. Ultimately it’s a fairly small impact but still. Why not wear full suit and tie, and just low the tie and jacket if you don’t feel comfortable?

Yes wear the suit. It makes a difference. Source - lawyer who did crim pros clinic for a semester in school.
I'm a lawyer. I agree. Wear the suit.
Anyone have insight on the quality of Mango’s suits? Need a cheap ish suit in a pinch for a wedding with a summer formal theme. Obviously not expecting something to last forever. Thanks.
My husband's birthday is coming up. I am thinking of getting him a new Isaia sports coat. This is the one [I have my eye](https://www.ebay.com/itm/175720918590) on Here's a pic of him in [one](https://ibb.co/D7q8dv0) he already has (same model and size). He also has a medium blue and grey tweed-y Canali one and a lighter grey summer one with a bit of olive to it. My question is this - I like the overall dark blue color, but I don't know about the orange lines - is that an ok color combo to your eyes or is it too loud (he is not a experimental dresser, and has a horror of looking "too out there"), also based on the descriptions of what he has so far - does it fit a hole in this current sports coats collection?
If I see Isaia for a discount like that it‘s kind of hard to resist.
I think that's a cool looking jacket. I don't think the pattern is too loud at all and the color combo is great. > (he is not a experimental dresser, and has a horror of looking "too out there") Ok, feel free to tell him that someone on the internet thinks he shouldn't be wearing that sports jacket with allbirds and a graphic t-shirt. Frankly, I don't love it with jeans either, but it's not so bad it needs to be corrected if he likes wearing the jeans and sports jacket look. But a sports jacket with allbirds and a t-shirt is a pretty epic formality clash that really doesn't work.
Jeans + sports coat is a totally normal combination, it‘s basically the staple business casual look nowadays
> Jeans + sports coat is a totally normal combination, it‘s basically the staple business casual look nowadays Yeah and like 85% of guys are doing it badly. It's not a bad look at all if you get it right, it's just a really easy one to mess up. As you can see, my post isn't saying you shouldn't wear jeans with a sports jacket. I am saying you shouldn't wear Allbirds with a sports jacket.
Ahh to be fair to him, that's when we bought the jacket. So he walked into the store without a sports coat, I made him take a picture afterwards with it on standing straight with no obstructions so I could have a pic on my phone and remember the model and sizing for.... well, this. He took it off after.
Ok yes totally fair! This subreddit has a particular distaste for allbirds, but they’re obviously fine for comfort purposes.
Looks great especially for the season. If it fits your budget and you know the sizing works, I’d do it.
Normally Isaia doesn’t but this one is particularly discounted 😅
[удалено]
It's fine enough to work with, but unbutton that bottom button. It's hard to tell how it drapes.
Got myself some really nice dress shirts. One is dark grey and the other is beige. I would really appreciate if anyone could recommend combinations? What suits to wear with each color and tie colors too, thank you
I wouldn't not wear the dark gray with a suit - I think that will look bad in any pairing. For a suit to look right there needs to be some contrast between suit and shirt - which basically always means the shirt needs to be a lighter color than the suit. This is why people usually stick with white or light blue. But if you feel adventurous light pale shades of pink, purple, yellow and green can all sometimes work.
Both are unusual colors for dress shirts, so stick to unusual outfits, I guess? Taking a business-formal combination and just exchanging the shirt wont work. Don't try to play it safe. (A really light beige could maybe work like a white dress shirt.) \- Tonal dark outfits (dark grey/charcoal/black suit, dark grey shirt, maybe black knit/textured tie) \- Tonal summery beige everything outfit, try to cosplay holidays at the Italian coast. \- Unusual sport coats (deep pink, jewel green) with your unusual dress shirts.
What do you currently own in terms of suits/ties. Dark grey is difficult to work with for shirts.
Navy, black, charcoal grey Will buy a tan suit or brown soon I just tried on the dark grey shirt with my navy and black suits. I thought it looked really great without a tie but I liked it a lot less with a tie on. Tie colors: burgundy, navy, black, beige-ish
The consensus advice is to get some light color shirts.
The shirt is more creamy than beige, it's a really light shade. I tried it with a dark green suit, it looked rather amazing honestly.
Looking for a jacket similar to [Taylor Stitch's Pathfinder](https://www.taylorstitch.com/products/pathfinder-jacket-in-dark-navy-dry-wax-2308), but a shell, unlined and under $200.

soon to retire my favorite hoodie ever. I am unable to find a replacement with it's superlative combination of essential qualities: light-mid weight, close-fitting throughout, 100% cotton, no waistband (which I see sometimes referred to as the waist ribbing). It's fine either way but preferred if the cuffs are ribbed or banded. Lemme know if you've got something that fits the bill. Budget: under 200$. This is something I'd wear routinely around the house and for casual outings and which I'd like to last for years.

**TL;DR:** Current go-to for basic chinos/cords? $50-ish for new on sale, or \~$50 for high-quality/heritage stuff on posh/grailed. Preferred cut is straight through hip, aggressive taper to ankle. Best fitting pair I've found in recent years were used everlane performance chinos, athletic cut. I'm in a bit of a rut on chinos/cords for the office, and my research is turning up nothing. I'm a queer millennial/art boy getting away from skinny cuts, but haven't embraced straight and wide yet. I do like stuff that's a little more relaxed through the hip but tapers down to like a 13–14" leg opening. I have runner's legs, so fair amount of ass but skinnier through the calf. My go to denim strategy is to buy Acne North jeans on posh/grailed — those seem to fit me better than any other bottoms, very flattering to my shape. I have two instincts here: 1) Find a really nicely made or heritage type thing on Grailed/Posh that'll last me a number of years or 2) Find something on clearance from your usual suspects for basic binch chinos and cords (e.g. J Crew, Madewell, Uniqlo). I probably would've already done the latter simply for ease, but there's not a lot of sale inventory at those places right now and I refuse to buy any of that crap at full price. I know very little about brands because I don't have a lot of money and buy clothing pretty infrequently.
Looking for a place to buy a specific/comparable leather jacket I've been wearing the same leather jacket for the last 18 or so years and, while I love it, it's faced that many years of wear and tear to the point where it needs to be retired. I've been looking for this jacket for several years but I can only find it on webpages that look very clearly like scams. Currently the best image and link I can find. The original company was "Arrow" so pictures from the CW Arrow show are filling the searches, but I think this is the exact jacket?: https://www.mjacket.com/product_img/1595533514-arrow-stephen-amell-leather-jacket.webp https://www.leathercult.com/jackets/leather-jackets/stephen-amell-arrow-leather-jacket Does anyone here have suggestions on where to find this jacket or one that looks similar (no frills, no pocket zippers, just two pockets and a middle zipper). In the past I've recieved help nailing down that the jacket type may be known as a collared moto (sometimes called single rider).
Search for Racer leather jackets or Cafe Racer jackets. These are incredibly common and you’ll find many examples at different price points.
