Also, 1st and Ly: if you dudes don't mind, I'd like to post about you guys on my blog on your DIYs. I always support my fellow members. I wish I have the patience to do this kind of stuff, but alas I don't. The only project I tried was to customized a pair of AF1 low tops in a Dip Set colorway back in 2004-05 and failed misery.

It was really bad. I wish I had the pictures still, I posted on here initially. I made a matching shirt for it as well. This was during the Miskeen era when hand painted shirts were in. Thanks, man!

How do the Purcells fit compared to the DB?

I'd say the Purcells run true to size. I normally wear size 10 in Nikes. Clarks run a tad big so I got them in 9.5.

If I went to a tailor to get my suit jacket tailored, can I tell him/her I want a slimmer fit and they'll know what I mean? Or should I bring pictures of what I want it to look like?

Thanks

Too vague. What is slimmer fit? Do you want to compress the waist? If so, that's a pretty basic job. Do you want to shorten the jacket? If so, probably not worth it because it will throw off the silhouette.

Them diamonds looking real cloudy my dude..."Take that monkey $h_t off you embarrassing us!"








I'm just playing, that fit is clean. What did you do with the rest of it, jeans and loafers? And info on the blazer as well

I need some sweatshirts/sweaters for this year. Anyone have this? http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/sweaters/cottoncashmere/PRDOVR~61170/61170.jsp
Looking at buying it.
Edit: I'm looking for this!

Bought this sweater last year , awesome but a bit hairy.

I like how this new thread is progressing

I definitely need those Purcells

The Cole Haan bags are scattered at Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Some are $100, larger ones are more. I am guessing that is where the ones posted earlier came from.

No, they came from a Cole Haan clearance center that is now shut down.

Cole Haan product flow goes like:

Cole Haan first quality -> Cole Haan Outlet -> Cole Haan Clearance -> Other big box discount stores like Marshall's, Ross, TJ Maxx.




Was definitely hooking up NTers with the online and in-store discounts when they came by before the close.

Broke these in a little bit last night and wore them to work today.
Allen Edmonds Clifton

Whole fit. Excuse the bathroom shot, my work lanyard, and my long tie (I was in a rush this morning ).

Details...
Charles Tyrwhitt Pink & sky fine stripe non-iron cutaway slim fit shirt & Charles Tyrwhitt Sky oval neat woven tie

Banana Republic Tailored slim charcoal plaid wool trouser

Bonus - Allen Edmonds "Clifton" reminded me of Tony Clifton/Andy Kaufman and Jim Carrey's movie Man on the Moon (WATCH this if you haven't seen it yet ).

I like the Prince of Wale pattern on the trousers. You're drowning in the shirt though, and the tie is too long and wide. PS good effort on a full windsor on the wide collar shirt

 

[zmoney3]

are those "Beeswax" DB's lilchico??

I think this guide is one of the best ones GQ has come up with, especially for beginners? http://www.gq.com/how-to/fashion/200707/gq-primer-suit-your-shape-slideshow#slide=1

I suggest it be posted in the first page!

I want it, badly but can't seem to find it anywhere.

I want to shorten it because the jacket is too long and the sleeves tighter... Is it worth it to get it tailored? Or should I just get a new jacket all together?
