Elkin and Wis when is the J. Crew collection for Fall '13 dropping? I need this: http://acuratedman.tumblr.com/image/44081167286 badly. I've wanted a tweed suit in this color for awhile and frankly it's either bespoke or this...this is the better deal lol.

It never all drops at once necessarily, it usually drops in little bits. The pieces you want the most will seem to be the last to drop, trust me.

Boooo lol I'm ready to jump on it once it drops.

 

[ksteezy]

Yeah since it's fall I'm assuming they'll drop sometime early to mid summer....whenever it does GET IT....from my experience seasonal suits go with the quickness and rarely get restocked.

 

[pinoy732]

Shoes are my beaters for when it's rainy out and I don't wanna mess up my leather soled ones

Thank you, good to know! Definitely will pick it up once it drops, the blazers and trousers run true to size or small? Will likely be ordering my next bespoke suit in the summer as well, if this drops before I do then I'll order something that is not a winter fabric or tweed...any idea if there is a waistcoat for this look?

@UNKWN Dopeeeee, I really wanna get one for my dad once I graduate so he can rock it on his Harley....gonna have to start saving more than I am tho

 

[typerpinoy]

looks like a ludlow. no offense but it may not work with your body man. as far as the fit of the pants, i can size down 1 comfortably in almost all j. crew pants.

 

[omgitswes]

The new varsity

Wonder when they'll make it available.

 

[ksteezy]

To second TypeR the Ludlow is cut much slimmer and shorter than other suits, I went with my boy who's not really a big dude, just has really broad shoulders and barely fit a 42R...I was surprised...but it might be best if you go into the store Serg since I know you said you lost another 20lbs or so.

I'm planning on ordering a DR next year.

The new double rider pics look so amazing... they're making me want to send my measurements to Drew right now!

Try to follow this thread as much as I can, but I basically always lurk.

If this is a dumb question, try not to laugh too hard, but are any of you familiar with Alexander Nash or have had any work done by him/purchased any suits there?

Just found out a friend of mine is interning there, I've been taking a look at the tumbler and instagram pages.

Have a ludlow suit that I want to get tailored for a better fit, and was going to take it to a tailor in Summit, Nj (guy is legit, the only good one I've found in NJ), but thought about taking it to Nash instead.

Speaking of, Pinoy, is there a specific tailor you use in NJ?

[typerpinoy]

i go to mar ant tailors in south orange. its basically 2 old guys. they are super old school but do great work. just know what you want to get done and be insistent. they will tweak anything and everything until they get it right. a little pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Wis...today's fit was toooo dope! loved everything about it man

my fit today (didnt get to snap a pic outside so back to the dorm i go):

Thanks, dude. I'm still tempting to get another pair of braces (suspenders). It would be the same kind, but in black.

RE: your shoes, I think it's fine. Some of the more traditional gents dislike bulky shoes like Aldens with suits, but I still rock it. (The silhouette looks similar to yours).

Awesome outfit today Wis, literally almost wore the same trouser and blazer combination today but decided to switch it up with a shawl cardigan in navy instead, the trousers I'm wearing are 100% wool/flannel, found them for $5 at JC Penney and extremely comfortable...today's outfit: http://dressingbetterforless.blogspot.com/2013/02/wdiwt22613.html

That would've been funny! We could've been brother brother

Dude, that's what I've been saying! This is why I asked if the contest is monthly or not

I will enter the next one. Will take day off from work to photo

You're lucky man... I have a few next week, I actually have one tomorrow in Marketing.

Thanks, man! Marketing was my favorite class in the MBA program. The pay is though I got a couple of job offers, but didn't even make it to the interview, pay wasn't even in the range.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Is the varsity all leather? I see the sleeves are not raglan this time.

I agree. If you have good clothes, you need to find a good tailor even if it may be pricey...it's worth it.

 

[pinoy732]

Not sure if that was directed towards me but I go to Franco's tailoring in Lawrenceville. Right down the road from my school (rider university)
Old school Italian dude. Been doing this stuff for decades. He was the one who altered that Kenneth Cole suit I've posted on here before.
