plan on getting more for the watch 

timex are a nice buy if you don't have too much cash in excess.  I think for similar prices, FLUD Watches are better.  Also Swatch has some adult watches for under $200.

Anyways, hungover and headed to Toronto for the weekend. I love nautical tees.

Info on the shirt? 

 The only brand I know that makes nautical tees is Saint James, and their collar, fit, and sleeve length are weird.

I'm considering the navy w/ cream sleeves. I was considering the all black but I am not liking the camo only lining/reversible side.

maybe someone can photoshop the colors for the Toj jacket?

i would if i knew how to ps...thanks in advance

360 shipped is a nice price.. I'm in for that.. I'm thinking murdered out all black.

shame about the strict colorways.. Grey/Black is interesting because i've always fancied the Wings + Horns Award Varsity..

H&M bro. It's one of their higher end joints. After I got it taken in on the sides a little, it's my best fitting shirt.

I had been looking for a nice nautical tee that was a decent price, and stumbled across this Hawkings McGill one at Urban Outfitters. For $24 bucks, it's highly recommended.

I'm considering the all black too, probably because I've seen it, and I figured you could just change the lining. I'll be looking out for inspiration now. When you get yours please pot pics.

Size options: You may adjust the sleeve or body lengths appropriately. No other customizations.

Price: $360 shipped 

Not a fan of ToJ jackets, but $360 a steal for custom outwear.
...so many options.

If you consider that a no, any suggestions?

what you really want:
http://www.chromebagsstore.com/bags/messenger-bags.html

also since i posted that link, what do you all think about chrome? Pricey for no reason? I like their backpacks and the tobruk and kursk shoes.  The clothing (without graphics) are nice too.

I don't understand the appeal of those style bags. I personally use this RL:

But of course this was close to $1000. If you are on a budget, you should check out Filson.

From the Coach outlet. It comes in Black and Gray as well. It has a laptop section and a main section.

I pay $8 at my local laundromat. I just tell them how wide I want my opening to be and ask them to taper from the knee down.

Hey, has anybody ordered from http://www.tailorstore.com/us/en/tailor-made-shirts ??? Reviews? I'm looking to see how their slim fit shirts are...

Damn. I'm in love.
I want a brown messenger bag, too.

I want to get one of my suits taken in to fit like this picture.

What do I ask the tailor to do to it?

 

[airblaster503]

Honestly all those suits would look better if they were a 1/2-1" wider in the sleeves and torso. But if you insist first you need to find a suit OTR that has high arm holes and then get waist suppression along with the sleeves tapered. Would probably need the pants taperd and possibly taken in the the seat area and the sleeves would most likely need to be hemmed as well.

 

[yuras718]

Torso is pulling too much for my liking in those pics

 

[omgitswes]

if you're on a budget don't check out Filson.
I can't pay over 100 for a bag and feel okay about it

 

[firered18]

Hey whats up guys, I lurk this thread hardcore bc im trying to get a more mature look and Ive decided to invest in a pair of boat shoes.  I've decided that black Sperry's look tacky, and now I am down between 2 pairs of brown ones.  I plan for these to be all-purpose(able to wear them with pretty much anything appropriate/any color shirt) can yall help me decide which ones according to that criteria? Here they are:


Here we have the classic Brown leather joints


And here we have the lovely Amaretto joints

Which one is the best choice??

Buy suits that are 2-4 sizes too small for you and then ask a tailor to make them even smaller.
All of these suits fit horribly. Some think that as long as a suit isn't baggy, tightness/shortness is never a problem. It is. The jackets are comically short, the torsos pull horribly, and the sleeves one most of them are way too tight. Suits should be timeless in design and fit. 

Maybe you could pull off a suit like this to go to a club or a hipster poetry reading or something, but I would honestly laugh at someone that wore a suit that fit this poorly to a formal occasion or an interview or office.

I know that sounds harsh or like an overreaction, but this is seriously getting out of hand.

 

[mr oizo]

People like their suits to fit that way. U mad doggy? Get out of here with that some things are timeless bs. If I want to wear a suit that fits like that, catch me. Sorry that we don't have the same taste.
+*!*!% like you are the ones who were hating on people wearing fitted jeans when they just started coming around.
