I think $300 for a custom varsity jacket that actually fit well is a good price.
I mean you get to pick the color combo, that is one of the best features in the TOJs.
I also heard quality is top notch.

I like it that CP is branching to different colors and finally having midsoles darker than the uppers.
That burgundy leather looks great.

I think I heard that J Crew clothes fit slim?
I'm thinking about getting some pants on ebay and they're ending in the morning but I was worry about the fitting.
Usually I wear a size 34 in pants/jeans would a 34 j crew pants?
They're labeled " J Crew vintage chinos regular fit tan cotton pant"

Trenches are usually thinner than pea coats aren't they? I actually think you'd have more opportunities to wear a trench coat than a peacoat in socal.

Does anybody know where I can get a nice denim long sleeve shirt. I had my eyes on this one at H&M but it sold out.

What's the bet fit jeans to wear with boat shoes so that the cuff stops at the laces?

Not all trench coats are thin, some are actually real thick and and wool.
Even the water proof ones has lining that makes it pretty warm.
Overall, I think the trench coats look in SoCal won't work especially since it rarely rains here.
No way is J. Crew slim. Their regular fit is pretty big and roomy, maybe not as baggy as Ecko or Phat Farm but they are in the Nautica/Tommy Hilfigerterritory, or close to it.
No, do not do 514's, since it is straight leg and if you get it without any break, it'll look weird with boat shoes, trust me.
It looks like a straight fit bell bottoms but high waters if worn with boat shoes or low profile sneakers.
I would suggest a more tapered leg opening, about less than 8" opening should work.
I wear Levis 511's now and I try to get it with the least break as possible and it looks much better.
Overall, it isn't the fit that determine if the jeans lands exactly on the top of the shoe for a no break look, it is the inseam or length of the pants.
If you can't fit in a Levis then you other option is probably getting it hemmed by the tailor.
I wouldn't say that is a rule but usually, it is one of the very few places you can get away with black pants with black dress shoes.
I would personally wear a black jacket or complete the look as a suit because black pants, black shoes, black tie and white (or black) shirt screams waiter tome at times.

The $45 price tag can be real barring, especially off the rack.
I would suggest H&M or ZARA, their shirt retail for $20-$40, which isn't bad.
Uniqlo is a good place to check out if you are anywhere near NY.
RL Rugby sometimes puts their stuff on sale for $25-$40, constantly check out rugby.com and wait for POLO to come out with a coupon for a good deal.
They are slim and long, perfect for shirts meant to be tucked in.
Other than that, I would just suggest waiting for sale at Macys and scope out the Slim Fit Hugo Boss shirts.
I got a few for around $35-$45 before.
I also just discovered that Hugo Boss has an Extra Slim Fit shirts, probably the best fitting shirt I have ever tried on, very close to the body, and I own aBoO.
Another option is just bring the shirts you already have to a tailor and try and get them slimmed down to your size.
It should be around $10-$15 each shirt.
Good luck.

whats good my dude-
im sure others will chime in
but you should try and get slim fit or modern fit shirts- the regulars will end up to big because you need a certain size on the neck and the sleeves but youare slim -
i get alot of buttons ups that come in slim or modern cuts from express...i think H+M has em as well
also if you hit macys you can get some ralph laurens in your price range - again avoid the regular cut and go for slim, euro, modern or whatever thatparticualr brand calls it
if that fails you might have to hit a tailor with your favorite shirts and make em work that way-

There's a very easy solution...go to a good tailor and have the width taken in, with my tailor I pay $15 a shirt. That's what I do withall of my shirts. The hard part is finding a shirt that fits you well around the arm, you don't want it too snug that you can't hug yourself (it'sa test used by many people) as the material doesn't stretch like t shirts. And of course you don't want it too loose that it looks like you'rewearing someone's shirt.
