Dressing better

[rfx45]

That tux is great, I didn't see his pics before.
But my favorite is still Chris Pine navy tux from last years MET Gala.

Take it to another level bro, rock that James Dean or Morrisey du.
i would love to, but i need to find a good barber that actually styles, my barber just knows fades, tapeups and shapeups, if you know a good stylist in NY let me know, money is no issue.

Can't help you there, I'm in SoCal.

How about Frank's Chop Shop?

 

[ksteezy]

do they have a website??...i have stubborn dead hair, need someone good if im gonna style it, ugh...

Would like your opinions. Looking to pickup a blazer that would work with both chinos & jeans (mainly jeans).  Besides these two, I'm also on the hunt for a textured sports coat/blazer.

Looking at these two from Indochino (feel in love with this company, they do not disappoint)  I'm leaning towards the first one

I'd take the the second one in the first ones color.

If I could that's what I would do

  I like the color a lot more in the first, but for a casual jacket, I like the gold buttons.  I'll e-mail them and see.

After one or two tries, their stuff fits like a glove.

Yo Ksteezy!

before u chop your hair off, you should do something crazy like this.

damn thing looks kinda cool.

Another nice navy tux, I need to get one even if I have no where to wear it to. I'd wear on to go on a Starbucks run. 

 

[karimybaby]

Yo ksteezy, when is the next j crew sale...i want to pick up some items for my wardrobe

 

[persiafly]

I'd get the second blazer and replace the gold button with something else. But not a standard matching button either because blazers need to be distinguishable from suit jackets in some way. The button is a good way to do it, but gold buttons are gaudy/corny.

I think gold buttons are pretty classic looking. I would probably prefer horn buttons on a navy sportcoat.

Do you think this navy linen jacket could be pulled off with a pair of jeans?

Was thinking of purchasing just the pants for the summer heat, but might just opt for the entire suit if I think the jacket could be worn with jeans.

Hmmm... I'd say yes. Navy linen blazers, white shirt, washed fitted jeans with rolled cuff and some boat shoes... I think that'll look pretty good.

has this ever been discussed?
Where can I find some nice solid polos, for pretty cheap too because I need a lot.
Polos and more button down shirts

TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, etc...
They usually have RL Polos for cheap.

I'm not a fan anymore but if you need loads of them for cheap, that is probably your best bet.

Honestly...honestly how many of you have actually had a tailored suit? I'm not talking just taking the pants in, I'm talking full on, go pick your fabric, get your measurements and wait that 3-6months for a tailored suit. and if you did, do you have any pics of you wearing it? want to see how well they come out before I drop the 3000 for a nice suit.

If you mean Polo polos then yeah. But if you just want cheap solid polos you can look in places like H&M and even Target for cheap ones that will fit decently. J. Crew makes great polos for the summer, but they're a bit more costly. 

 

[omgitswes]

No I don't mean Ralph Lauren Polos. They fit me so weird.

I get my t shirts from Target, never tried for polos. I'll look into that, and no H&M here

gonna have to stop in there when I go to NYC too
The only ones I have that aren't RL are from J Crew, and I'm kinda tired of that store

You're talking about bespoke suits. I haven't yet but plan on it whenever I'm required to wear suits

Yeah, whenever I really need to get a suit, hopefully I'm going to be making enough money to fly to italy/france to get a true Bespoke suit, they aren't crazy expensive, especially considering that if I get a nice Navy, wool Grey and Black/Black Pinstrip I will probably not need to buy another one until I'm crazy ballin. But I would like to see how they fit on someone who is not a model, how they look anyway.
