If you are a 42, this is a steal

Quickly searching, this SF post mentions they are half canvassed. You can inquire with them directly to confirm I suppose.

These suit prices are outrageous. Hope someone can flourish.

Speaking of UK, I ordered a 3rd pair of the Paul Smith chelsea boots. Black leather is permanent collection but I was lucky to find them on sale. Really digging the pairs I have (though I think I am going to dye the red to black or a darker red). but you need to have a really narrow hem to pull them off. I'm talking like 6" - 6.25" max.

You should keep those boots as is man, the red looks great

What if I'm a 40 and get it tailored?

 

[typerpinoy]

nope

It'll likely (more likely than not) fit too big on the shoulders.

I am waiting to get a reply if items are final sale before I pull the trigger.

What would you guys suggest for a tuxedo for a wedding in Europe? I wanted to go Saint Laurent but the only local stores that carry SLP do the worst buys so no chance in hell of finding one locally. That, and I don't have $3k to drop on a tuxedo. Renting is out of the question. Indochino has some nice looking ones, but do I really want to wear Indochino in Europe?

Also, what are the rules for tuxedos and weddings? For whatever reason, I'm really feeling navy. Is that a faux pas?

I don't want to state the obvious but I would confirm that the wedding attire is appropriate for a tux, I've been to a number of weddings this year (albeit none in Europe) and they've all required a suit and not a tux; typically the tux is left for the groom and groomsmen.

Wis, it seems like the fountain blue oxford from J. Crew is darker in person according from your picture compared to what they show on J. Crew's website... Can you confirm this or am I wrong?

 

[flyknitlvr]

Joints come in tan suede?

Basically searching for alternatives to the SLP boys, because i'm not RFX.

Yep - I wore mine today:

SLP's, I would think, are a much richer tan. These ones are kinda dull. Still dope though.

Flyknit, i got a 20% off info code good til Sunday. PM me if you bout it

Appreciate it but I won't be buying by then

Yeah. It's more teal in person.

These Paul Smith too. The black is kinda off-putting on em, to me at least. No diss.

Any alternatives, dad? @RFX45

Looking for some slim-fitting shorts that aren't too thick material-wise.

I don't like the Chelsea boots style. I can't seem to pull it off right.

DB bros please let me know what you think i should do to tailor this suit or if i should just return it.

here is what im thinking:

-sleeves are too long

-arm hole/sleeves too wide

-length of jacket might be too long?

-take in at the waist/chest a bit?

-shoulder fit is off?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Can anyone reccomend any spread collar shirts that would go well with a 2.5" lapel? I might just end up back in J Crew.

Collar's don't have anything to do with lapel widths IMO.

You can look to BB Extra Slim Fit or Kamakura for off the rack option, but I personally would suggest MTM route. PM me if you want more details. If you follow my blog/IG, most of my shirts are custom at very good prices.

I'd take it back, the alterations are going to be nuts.
