Is this a recent picture?

It was on NBA TV last night i saw it and immediately thought of NT...i was like that just might be the choppa suit to end all choppa suits

wow, how is that suit even possible in this day in age

 From browsing the thread a lot, it seems that the J.Crew Ludlow suit gets a great deal of praise. I want to pick one up in a staple color (grey or navy) and was wondering what are the sale prices like if they ever do go on good sales? I live in Canada so my J.Crew options aren't as great as in the US. Do they ever go below like 300$ for those staple colors?

Honestly, if you're looking at the ludlow I'd recommend SuitSupply...they have the outlet store now: http://us.suitsupply.com/en_US/outlet and the code is EARLYACCESS. They've got discounted suits for like $259 and SS is half canvassed whereas Jcrew are fused I believe so its better quality. Only thing is the sizes are limited bc people are copping stuff daily from the site however they seem to update pretty frequently on there. If you can swing it, a normal suit from them is $469 I believe which is roughly what you'd pay for a ludlow. I see you're in Canada too so I'm not sure how shipping would work since they have mainly US stores to my knowledge but on the outlet site they say free shipping anywhere in the world so I would try and call a store and see how that would work...also they have a variety of fits ranging from slim to more conservative fitting, peak/notch lapels too depending on the cut you want.

I love mine and Mych can vouch for the quality as well

S/O to whoever posted the nike Tech sweats and Memphis outlet info in here... they came out to $32 shipped and i picked up on of the last sizes left (Large in the grey)...

I'm short and kind of stocky so Im sure that although they will fit appropriately in the waist, they will more than likely be too long for me (all the Mediums had sold out, smh)

I am actually impressed with customer service i received...

The key to calling outlets up is to have the style numbers ready to go and be super nice, even compliment the folks...

Bear in mind that everyone and their mama has been calling their store up looking for the pants (and other items more than likely) so their patience is probably thin...

Keep your patience at higher levels and help them (style codes/sizing/cc info handy) as much as you can...

While suit supply is a good suggestion it sounds like my man is looking for a versatile suit to wear year round. A linen suit or chalk stripe suit for sale at the outlet don't really fit the bill

are there any good DB blogs that i can graduate from hypebeast and highsnobiety?

yeah, they pop up on my facebook timeline, but i lost respect when they said they were digging the lebron XI.

I don't buy lebron sneakers, but the xi's look nice to me. The ones in orange and the grey/purple colorways look awesome.

True yeah that's why I say he should try calling the main stores too, they'll have the staples he's looking for but just not sure about delivery to Canada

haha, yeah I saw that article

Can someone please help me fine a Fall holiday sweater to wear for Thanksgiving Dinner this year? I want something that's festive, but also has Fall colors incorporated.

Fair isle is something I've been looking into, but I can't find one I like. I would also like it if it was wool too.

Here is a picture for reference:

 

[blackchiney08]

Thanks guys. Ya I've looked at suitsupply and like the price point for the quality of suit you're getting but shipping to Canada is definitely a problem. I thought the ludlow suit was at least half canvassed? And Pinoy is right in that I need a daily workhorse suit for work/daily activities so I need a more conservative staple colour.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

You guys think T-mac is bad? The man is 6'8" with no steady stream of income. How is he going to find a suit that fits him properly without getting MTM or Bespoke?

Chris Paul is inexcusable though. Dude is barely 6 feet tall and 175lbs He should be able to find a properly fitting suit without much effort.

 

[sfc415]

Chris Paul really stepped his game up though. One of the best dressed in the NBA right now (even though that isn't hard since everyone wears leather tights and Givenchy animal shirts now). His suits are on point these days fit wise

 

[typerpinoy]

That cp3 pic is like 10 years old though

 

[robin thicke]

painted gats are pretty tempting

DO AS THE LORD DOETH

 

[Stay Lowkey]

Tracy McGrady has no steady stream if income?

Definitely going to have the think about it

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Tracy McGrady has no steady stream if income?

Yeah, last time I checked--he's no longer playing in the NBA. Can you please elaborate where he has a steady stream of income from? I'd really love to know.

That's because he pays someone to dress him

A quick Google search tells me he's worth over $70 million - so the fit to that suit isn't due to any financial hardship

I'm sure TMac's choppa suit was a personal style choice rather than an affordability issue. A quick google search reveals that his 2012-2013 net worth was in the $75 million range. This is plenty for a few bespoke suits regardless of steady income.

edit: DJosey beat me to it

Those income reports are VERY deceiving. We don't really know the "mechanics" of where or how his money is being kept or even spent. Look at fools like Antoine Walker, Allen Iverson etc etc

Professional athletes liquidate their wealth faster than most rich people.
