Dressing Better Vol 2.0

If you have the bread or will to spend, look into Tricker's. Their Country Collection is awesome.
Man, when HoH in Beverly Center had gauranteed tickets ALL DAY, I couldn't make it. I was gonna go after work, but size 9s were all taken, and of course 8.5s and 9.5s were still available

The quality of the recent retros I bought felt the same as the older ones I had in high school and college, circa 2002-2005.


Today:

Damn, you might have been fine going down to the 8.5. I heard they fit the same as the 07 version, which i sized down .5 for. I actually did that for all Jordans besides the 1, which I actually sized up .5 for.

If you already accounted for that, yea I can see why you didn't size up to 9.5. The shoe is bulky enough already, no need to make your feet look even bigger I think the bulk might have been the reason I sized down all those years ago, I'm not really sure

I've gone true to size on everything so far. I guess the only pair I could've sized down .5 on were the 5s. I'll try my luck on Saturday

Definitely not the latter

Oops, meant to say "definitely not the former" haha.

Wow, this thread has really picked up, great to see that!

Just got back from my vacation and I must say all of the DBNT family has to schedule a pilgrimage to Paris sooner or later. I was expecting many well dressed people, but I was blown away. The amount of well dressed gentleman and mademoiselles were astounding, I think 60-70 % of the male population wear a suit 24/7. It was easily much better than Milan in my opinion and coming back to central Europe, well it's an astounding difference. Haven't been to NYC for a few years, so I can't talk on behalf of the Great Apple.

Great fits, plenty of inspiration and this isn't even about all the brand names. Although it seems that everyone budgets out a pair of high quality shoes (Church's is very popular) and an Hermes tie. Quick tip, if you're planning a visit, July is when to go, it's the month of sales in the city and this means pretty much anything and everything will get an in store discount (except Louis V., those bags just miraculously fly off the shelves...).

Great stuff, as well as in this thread. Nice fits guys. And I do wish someone would come up with something genius against sweating, I mean it's been nearing 100, my poor man nightfly, I hear its even worse in Bucharest...

Still cant find those h&m tapered pants i am so lost without them

Tapered sweats?

I hear good things and they are cheap...thinking about coping 2 pair. And Jordan 3s will always rein supreme to me as a casual sneaker. Idc idc idc idc

Damn this thread has me spending money like crazy. I've lurked in here for a minute - some of you have a great sense of style. I wear a suit every day to work and have def jacked some of the styles in here


Going to Bangkok Saturday gonna see my tailor get some new shirts made, and a couple suits as well

 

[coleworld123]

got this in from SuitSupply yesterday and absolutely LOVE IT!http://us.suitsupply.com/suits/suit...prefn1=styleFit&prefv1=Contemporary-NapoliThe 48 fits me, and the suit looks beautiful in person, imo. Im actually really surprised how well the pants fit and only will need a hem. The jacket feels really good, and although I could probably use a little bit of room when buttoned, I couldnt ask for any better off the rack I dont think.Having said that, I am looking for shoe recommendations: I have my heart on some walnut colored, and I really have my eyes on AE Strands. Darn you #DBNT. What do you think about those with that suit? Have other recommendations?Do they usually sell Strands at AE outlets? That price tag is a little steep for me.

Where are you going? You should be OK with the shirts. With the suits, you need to really explain to them how you want as most are not that great looking. Bring pictures if you have to. A lot of popular makers, even the ones for celebs and affluent, either make the suits too tight or too loose here or there.

You're going to be hard pressed to fin strands cheaper than they are now at nordstrom

I agree. Now is the time to buy them. You can always use Ebates to get another 5% back. (shameless plug)

I wear a size 9, should I really go down to 8.5. These are for my wedding, so im gonna go ahead and cop today if you guys recommend sizing

 

[coleworld123]

Also, do you think the strands in walnut will look nice with that suit I posted?

Glad you finally found a suit for your wedding man

I personally think the Walnut AE Strands would look really good with that. As it has been mentioned, you won't find them cheaper than the Anniversary sale at Nordstrom so make sure to cop before August 5th.

Peninsula Tailors, over by the Four Seasons. I've heard Raja's is good too but never been. Peninsula Tailors made me two suits already and I like the fit (although they put a heavy lining in a linen suit smh which I have to get removed). Prices are reasonable and they do a quick turnaround which is important since I don't live in BKK.

You're Thai right? Any good recommendations?

I see they have an Aviator jacket very similar to the one Burberry has this season as well. I'm not too into the "fast fashion" shops, but this jacket is decent.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I take it back...The Aviator jacket looks HORRIBLE after further inspection. Terrible fabric finish.

The duffle bag looks good.

It depends on your foot. Being that you are a 48 for your chest, I'm guessing you have a wide foot as well. Id suggest either going to the store to try on or order multiple pairs and return the ones that don't fit. Free shipping/returns with nordies but aside from sizing down, perhaps order a E or possibly 3E width. All depending fam
