Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[king milaac]

Multiple bags to match multiple shoes? Nah.....

I'm all about dressing better, but I think at it's core every man's outfits and accessories should have functionality as a basis. You can look sharp but still maintain the manliness. Moving your luggage from one bag to the next on a day to day basis for the sake of matching shoes seems overly metro to me. No hate. 

I have the Abingdon messenger bag from j. crew that seems to go with almost anything except super bright colors (think neon.) I use it for work which is business casual office environment, so it works with everything.

There's a number of tiers of dry cleaners. Some use harsher chemicals than others. I don't dry clean my items too often though, only when see fitting.

These are really nice, just a little over budget at 210 but LL Bean has sales pretty often. Or if you order today you get a 10 dollar gift card, that kinda offsets the price difference

So we wearing pocket squares on our *** pockets now? Oh ok.

Pinoy: Arent topcoats supposed to have longer sleeve lengths than sport coat sleeves? Yours looks like its hemmed like you would normally hem suit jackets.

 

[ksteezy]

It is called a POCKET square you know?

 

[illmatickal]

I suppose it can be longer and I honestly did not take it as far back as I normally would (by like 1/4 of an inch) but I also plan on wearing the jacket without any jacket on underneath so I don't mind having a tad of my sleeves show. Personal preference I guess.

And Kal, nice fits man. Bout time you posted up.

cleaning out some old closets in my parents house tonight i just stumbled on about 6 of my dad's old tuxes (and a diamond tie clip

).

Most of the tuxes are double breasted, and while they fit length/shoulder/sleeve wise, theyre kind of loose around the middle.  I'm told it's beause in the early 90s, the form fitting 2 button suit wasn't really in style.

Still, I was able to find one two button tux that fits me pretty well, but only the jacket, not the pants.  I'm thinking of using it like a blazer, and pairing it with dark jeans.  Anyone ever try this?  Advice on how to pull it off right?

 

[pinoy732]

I'm not too sure about how that would look. Post a pic of what the jacket looks like. Being that it is from the 90's it may look too dated

 

[wj4]

Yeah and your dad is correct. They wore baggy suits back then. Even GQ recommended something like sizing up on a blazer for the big shoulders because they represent power or something like that

 

[omgitswes]

I've seen it done plenty of times. You'll look like you're in an indie band though.

 

[sn souljah]

drake got that collar gap lol

suit is clean though...same combo Pinoy rocked..vibrant blue suit, black tie, white shirt. swag

 

[unknwn]

Drake mirin' Adrian

Some different perspectives on the suit. The guys from Art Comes First , always appreciated their style and opinions on various subjects within fashion. Enjoyed hearing about Richard James first starting out on Savile Row too

The History of the suit



How to inject personal style into a suit



The importance of a suit in a man's life



British vs Italian tailoring
