I much rather prefer the fit of a Lacoste polo than a RL polo, nowadays. I absolutely HATE the tail present on almost every RL polo. I bought a Perry Ellis polo the other day that fits decent. I'm thinking Original Penquin would suit my tall slim frame best.

For tall and slim frame, I find Burberry slim fit polos best. For me, I find Marc Jacobs polos fit very well.
I am actually looking for a navy cotton polo, not pique though, just smooth and soft cotton polo that fits well.
Close to what Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale.

Matt53, are you looking for a buttoned cardigan? GAP has some zip-up cardigans and theres a 25% off coupon floating around, just google it.
J Crew also has several cardigans in the $75--$85 price range.

Speaking of GAP, I kind of like this v-neck sweater. Very Gucci-esque, although I doubt the fit will be similar.

Those Paul Smith Bihar's are amazing in brown. Where would you say is the best place to purchase those?

 

[matt53]

@RFX, thanks i'll check it out

 

[rfx45]

MilanClothing.com is the cheapest place to buy it from and use Milan10 for an extra 10% discount.
Their $362 @ Milan Clothing and with the 10% discount, goes down to $330 + $25-$30 for shipping (from Europe) it would cost about $360-$370 + if you getcharged with customs fee.
That is a good price considering the PS Bihars retail for $575 + tax then it is easily $600+.

Not bad at all. Thanks for the info man. I think these might be the ones

 

[rfx45]

I say try it on first if you can because it fits enormously.
I wear a 9.5-10 in Nikes/Jordans and UK7.5-UK8 in Paul Smiths and I got the Bihars in a UK7 and still has plenty of room.
I could go with a UK6.5 without a problem for the perfect fit with dress socks, but that's because I also have a wide feet.
But if my feet were narrow, a thick socks with UK6.5 would just be right, maybe even UK6 with dress socks.

 

[boys noize]

For sure, I'm definitely going to do a bit more research. I'm usually a 10-10.5 in Nikes/Converses and I always assumed just size down a full size forboots. Guess I'll be making a trip to Neiman Marcus for a fitting.

RFX, what store can I go to locally to try on the 514, and 511 trousers/twill pants?

I think you or someone else mentioned Pac Sun and Urban Outfitters a few pages back?

Macy's... Maybe? Lol.

I'd really like to know how they fit.

Thanks in advance.

 

[crank lucas]

PacSun or UO are your best bets. I have not seen any of the trouser pants at Macys.

You are looking for sneakers in particular?
Here's my go to sneakers:

I could post more but most might not be appropriate for this thread or at least not everyone's number choice.

 

[boys noize]

I have those multi-eyelet JV Chucks but in this used, yellowed sole version. Very nice shoes although the elastic laces can be a pain

 

[rfx45]

That actually is the yellowed soled chucks, the flash just makes the sole white.
As for the laces, I just tie them up with a double knot and wear the shoes like slip-ons.
I never unlace them.

Probably at Uniqlo since it says +J by Jill Sander for Uniqlo preview.

 

[jdb1523]

Going back to London in a few weeks...can't wait to hit up Uniqlo again

I shopped there all the time while living there this past year.

 

[russ tha g]

I'm going to Gap this weekend to try to find that sweater... hopefully, it won't look like some Giants memorabilia in person.

 

[niidawg3]

it depends on the number of buttons on the jacket ... the rule is never button the last button of a jacket, unless its a 1 button, for a 2 button never buttonthe bottom jacket, but you can button the first one. for a DB ... if its a 6x2 like this one, the first two are just show buttons, so you treat it like a 2button jacket, button the top one and leave the lower one.

hope that made sense.

thanks.

I was watching this Five Four one and of course my size is gone the day before payday, but i'm lookin for something similar

Thanks

heritage 1981 is your friend...

 

[rfx45]

great combo as usual Niidawg. What socks do you wear?
I like the striped pattern that I only usually find with Paul Smith or certain Banana Republic socks.

Also, 20% off F&F sale at bloomingdales. Online code is "FandF".
Bloomingdales.com has Red Wings boots too to those interested.

I just got boots but I might jump on this JV boots, I've had my eye on it for a while now.
Looks much better in person that in the pic.

 

[thinkinfresh]

Just came back from the Jil Sander uniqlo drop .... jesus was it a mad house ... thankfully I was 5th in line .... and I still had to wait for them to bringdown my SZ down from the back
I def couldnt spent a extra 250$ there easy but I was on a budget and the reversible jacket ( that I didnt know I always wanted ) threw a fork in my plans ...O Well Im mad happy and I hear they are getting a restock .. and if they are I need to pick up some of those great shirts


anyways I picked up a Light Gray wool suit, and Reversible jacket
some flicks I took

 

[rfx45]

Lucky SOB, yes I'm jealous.
