Received my TOJ today and I have to say I am very displeased with the fit. Its about two sizes too big than I would like it to be. I got a stock 54 after Charly's recommendation.
I was initially was going to go with a 50 and thats what I should have stuck with. Charly convinced me other wise.
The jacket itself is nice for the price point.Will post pics later.

From lurking this thread for a few weeks, ive got to say mj4, ksteezy and pinoy have a great closet lineup. When i become my ideal weight i shall be posting some fits in here. My lineup is NOWHERE close to where i want it to be. Ive already lost about 35 lbs of fat, gained about 15 lbs of muscle. Proud of myself but not ready yet. Ive got some shirts/desert boots/slim fit jeans. But like i said, i wish i could have more. Plus i dont want to be wasting money on buying clothes ill only wear temporarily.
Keep posting good fits in here.. im still learning

whattup NT... I need some help on a couple of things
What are the best quality dress socks? I definitely like socks with color and all but all of the ones I buy end up ripping extremely fast...
and what is the most durable suit brand you can buy under $400. I wear suits to work every single day so durability is a MUST
thanks

Keep working at bro. I advise ppl going through a body change to not buy clothing to they are set in their routines/diet. You'll be good. I'd advise you to buy basic needs stuff and focus your main clothing on the spring/summer.

A lot of the gents from MC with large salaries prefer cashmere socks, but I have yet feel comfortable spending that much money on socks. The most I've spent were Corgi socks via J. Crew. Try J. Crew and BR socks, especially when they're on sale. None of my socks have ever ripped on me yet, and I wear them routinely.
RE: suits, is it possible to bump that budget to $480-500? If so, I would go with Thick as Theives, fully canvassed suit. www.thickasthievesla.com

I'm assuming I'm mj4. Clothes are secondary skin, my man. Work on your physique first...that's the most important part. When I was in the transitional stage, I was bumming it in cheap Levi's 514 jeans, plain white t shirts, and hoodies. I didn't spend real money on my wardrobe until I was set.

It's all good, my man. Good luck on your weight drop. I'm not sure what your goal is, but you should be able to be good by summer. I love the feeling of hitting the gym during the winter when it's relatively empty. It gets kinda packed around late spring when people want that summer body within 2 weeks

Thats the truth for sure. I was at 230 around March.. 218 around June. Now 190. building muscle while losing the belly fat. Its one of the hardest things to do |I

I love thick wool socks for the winter, this is why I sized some of my boots .5 bigger. I prefer lighter socks in hotter weather though. The MCers just like cashmere because they live that luxury life style, the I flew to Italy to buy a tie made by a local artisan style

Just have a game plan on what your ultimate goal is and go for it, man. A lot of folks prefer to cut then bulk though (I really have no experience myself). I never wanted to become ripped or cut, just lean so I dropped from 220 down to 140, then back to 155 now. Keep in mind also that muscle weighs more than fat so don't be deterred if your weight doesn't drop as much. I also look at body fat % to get the big picture.

Were you a fat 220 or just semi chubby? I know a lot of people 220 but not really fat. Thats a huge drop from 220 to 155. Congrats on the weight loss man.

Dude can be dressing up for a job for all you know. I go to school in NYC and students in suits is not an unusual sight in my school. Some people have internships/jobs at places like GS, JP Morgan, Citi, Pwc, KPMG, etc and needs to wear them for work. Also, one of the business fraternities at my school requires that all the people pledging have to wear a suit on certain days of the week.
My first TOJ was a varsity, i just took measurements of one I already had and compared them to the charts and picked a size. I know TOJ has a lot of people sending them measurements but i personally never did that and all the TOJs i had turned out fine.

I stocked up on wool socks this past two weeks due to the fact they are extremely warm. This week has been ridiculously cold in NYC, the wool socks and boots definitely came out today.
Edit: Wis, I just noticed you featured one of the entries from TSBmen.com (thestyleblogger) featuring Alex Yampolsky. Just want to add that if anyone is every wondering about pattern matching to check that entry. Second, as someone who knows Alex because of being a client at Michael Andrews Bespoke, dude is honestly one of the best dressed in there, if not the best dressed. I think Dan and him are always giving each other a run for their money, but if you want classic and classic with a twist such as with the bold checkered suits, Alex is that dude. I'll be seeing them next Saturday, I'll try to snap a picture of what Alex is wearing then.

If for what ever reason a suit is required then it is ok to wear one. Now there is a major difference between wearing a "normal" suit or blatantly tryng to look like a hipster. Pinoy falls in the latter category. Clearly everyone who says his style is unique has never picked up an atrocious fashion magazine where the people looked like walking gimmicks. Clearly his oufit or the way he constructed it looks like it came from a hipster magazine.
