Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Re: regional meet ups. Not sure how many LA gents are in here and want to link up. Let me know if you guys are down for lunch or something!
 
I'll be in a blazer/APCs/and some AEs or something along those lines. My girl and I haven't seen eachother in about a month since we go to different universities so it should be great. :)

thats a solid fit idea, might have to roll with that too bro
 
Went back to try this, but the fit is way off :(

Gents, I need your help, how do you think a camel hair blazer with black cords would look like? I wanted to wear my double breasted gray blazer but it has a couple of stains that I need dry cleaned out. Two, sorry for the lack of WDYWT posts in the blog, went to the docs yesterday so I just threw on a sweater and jeans and today was decade's day at work...so I wore jeans and graphic tee that was 1-2 sizes too big.

I'll be there next week, if we can figure something out for this Sunday that'd be awesome.
 
Serg I think that would be a nice look. Play it up with black shoes and a white shirt. That izod tie would look good with it.

The orange and navy rep tie right? I think it could work too, I'm going to try it and see how it looks. Thanks Jason!
 
Quick questions guys - is camo appropriate for the office/cubicle workplace? I'm only a student "intern" in an office and I want to buy the Dockers Alpha Camo's but I don't think they'd be appropriate to wear in an office. Since I'm only a student employee, I don't dress up as it is so I'm curious about this.

I know they are a lot of camo love in here but in my opinion the wearing of camo should be limited to:
A) The hunting of animals in the forest.
B) The occupying of a foreign country.
 
since it was my idea for this weeks challenge, ill kick it off...got my canadian tuxedo steez on...lol

Anybody try the JCrew Factory suit pants, looking at the Thompson suit pant in Chino (Navy) and the Thompson suit pant (Charcoal). Need some pantaloons for work, thinking of grabbing a pair of each with the 30%. Any reviews?

Not sure of the style but I got a factory trouser for over 80% off. I paid $40 or so for it. Quality sucks but I liked the blackwatch print. Had my tailor recut the trousers.

If you're going with staple colors, I'd opt for better quality variations.

Yeah, saw the 30% and said "What the hell?", those and the Lands End "Year'rounder" caught my eye.

Also thinking of copping a pair of Ludlow pants with the 30% sale JCrew has going.

What else do you recommend? Budget is $60-100.

they didnt have the specific lunargrands that i wanted

What are you looking for? Wool? Cotton?
 
When suiting up, what tie knots do you guys usually go with?

Any bow tie wearers out there?

I love bow ties, wear them routinely. Tie knot depends on the collar of your shirt if fabric permits. With heavier fabric, you are limited...like with me today..with a tweed tie, I couldn't do a full windsor even though I had a spread collar. If the tie was silk, a thinner fabric, I would've opted for this.
 
Looking for wool at the moment.
I would personally pony up a bit and go with brands that offer 100% wool, quality wool that is, man...Epaulet, Wolf Vs Goat, H.Y., Thick as Thieves, etc. I have Thick as Thieves and Epaulet, and they blow away other trousers I have at twice their price points, basically $300 trousers that are like 80% wool, 20% acrylic. The two colors you want are staple colors so I would opt for the good stuff.
 
btw unsure if i should pull the trigger...

This jacket is dope, bro. Info???? I missed out a similar Brooks Brothers one awhile back and am kicking myself for it. You should cop.

Luda should have gone with the tuxedo shirt, black formal shoes (patent), black tie, or bow tie,

the tux is great, he just wore everything he shouldnt have worn to go with it.

This. For a formal event, he dressed that tux up horribly and inappropriately.


Ralph Lauren shawl neck sweater (on sale 20 dollars)
Gap jeans (on sale 40 dollars)
Clark desert boots brown cord. Edition (on sale 60 dollars)

Nice fit man. That sweater is money.


Serg I think that would be a nice look. Play it up with black shoes and a white shirt. That izod tie would look good with it.

Jason, I went ahead and tried it and I think I may try wearing this tomorrow, the pictures show how top heavy I am, and it's something I'm really trying to slim down on, stomach and waist has gone down, just not there:

That outfit is on point Serg. I agree with what you're saying about the top heavy part but I like the way everything comes together.

Outside of the obvious, I have no idea what's wrong with the way some suits fit.
Looking through the Tailor's thread on SF these guys are noticing details that when corrected makes the fit look so much better. I would like to get to that point one day
 
Again question on those slim fit jean pants with the bright red I think I saw Dwade wearing the other day where can I find something like that....HELP
