Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[sarteaga0408]

That's what I was thinking, a dark navy suit... Idk 7-8 bills for the suit, I want that ish to fit perfect.

You can get a nice suit for $400-500, no need to go that high.

Well since this would be my first suit I wouldn't know where would be the best place to get one. I guess I'm going to have to do my research, any ideas?

My two favorites are Kent Wang and Thick as Thieves. You can also wait until Brooks Bros have a sale and grab one of theirs too. I really like their Milano fit.

With the two brands I mentioned, you get fully canvassed, mother of horn buttons, fully functional cuff buttons, and it's made to measure, meaning it should fit you like a glove.

Yo...didn't you make a comment about dude's tie & tie clip a couple pages ago?

aside from the tie clip being a bit big for the width of the tie, i don't see whats wrong with it.....keep in mind the second picture im leaning over, the first picture gives you a true angle and position as well as length on the tie....so help me out.

whats your built???....the ludlow is such a nice suit and it wont break the bank....if its your first suit, most definitely go for navy, its the most versatile color you can get....after that slowly build on other colors, im on my 4th suit....the good thing about suits is that even though your lifestyle doesn't demand it, whenever you do dress up as long as you change up the shirt, shoes, tie 4 suits can literally get you through your life just fine....at least imo...this is my navy ludlow, ignore the kicks....i was just fooling around trying different things.

5'10" 175(I'm on my bulk atm ) I had been looking at the ludlow, I'll probably would still have to get it tailored right? I mean that's no big deal

He Ksteezy, check out tiebar.com man and grab the shorter tie bar.

This.

As far as I know, the tie bar shouldn't be of equal width of the tie.

It looks to be worsted.

Most left and middle are Epaulet. The right is a waist coat from J. Crew.

Epaulet got 2 pairs of killer purple pants in. The purple Shetland is the far left I posted. I'm tempted to get the grape flannel too, but I need to chill until next month, caved in for iPhone 5 preorder this morning FTL

Well, yeah...the tie clip is too wide. You're right that it just looks too long because of how you're leaning over but it's also tied very sloppily. Just saying.

PS. I hope those sneakers were just thrown on quickly for the pic, bad choice otherwise.

I received 4 of the 5 Odin at Target items I ordered online. I'm really happy with 3 of them, especially considering the price. I'd never bought anything other than undershirts at Target and I hope the do similar collaborations in the future.

- The $20 Henley is nice, soft and fits well...not at all boxy.
- I like the scarf a lot, not sure of the material but it's soft, long and substantial enough. The weave looks slightly different on the website. It was only $20 as well.
- The 4-button flecked sweater is not bad. Only $35 and I like the look and fit, I have something similar so I'll decide on it.
- The navy hooded parka I'm not happy with. It's pretty stiff, not nearly as slim as pictured and it was constructed disproportionately. The left arm/arm hole is slimmer and higher that the right, I tried it zip and unzipped but it doesn't look or fall right at all. At $70 I'd keep it if that flaw wasn't so obvious. Maybe I'll try to order another and see if it was just a mistake but it's not a necessity, I might just return it.

I'm waiting on the cropped jacket, hopefully that's alright. It was only about $215 altogether so I'd recommend checking them out.

Anyone know how legit this site is, never heard of those Allen Edmonds models??  I see it says they are exclusive to the site, but that seems odd to me.

question about clothing care: do you guys hang your cardigans/sweaters or fold them and put them into the closet? same goes for khakis/jeans/dress pants.

IMO cardigans and sweaters should not be hanged because they will stretch and hanger will indent the shoulders. Pants are fine.

Only thing I hang are jackets and dress/sport shirts. Everything else is folded.
