yo Luong1209..

love thomas pink shirts.. wait til hugo boss has a sale, if you decide to go that route (they have great sales on everything)

most of my work shirts are thomas pink and hugo boss 'black'.. have a couple brooks brothers, but not as big of a fan as i once was (prefer to wear their button-down collar shirts casually)

  


how are the indochino shirts, marmourjr?

I was hesitant to purchase a shirt being that it was a customized one.  However, I went to my tailor and got all the information that was asked on the site. I made sure that shirt was to be fitted with just a half inch room (If I gain weight).  I suggest that you do exactly the same. Express to your tailor that you are ordering a tailor shirt online and need this to be exact.  I must say, I got my shirt exactly 2 weeks from my purchase. The fit was perfect and the material quality was outstanding.

Now when I brought my first suit from them, the sleeves were a little longer. Their policy is that they will pay for your alteration up to $75.  My tailor filled out some form, and I got my credit within 5 days.  I get so many compliments from people wearing my suits.  Again, make sure your tailor gets your measurements exactly how you want it. 

If you are looking for custom suits with great quality, these are your people.  And the prices are right.  I own 3 shirts and 2 suits from them.

I forgot to add on the list: I love Nautica oxford shirts. I need to add them to my list....

I hope this helps.

^ was just about to post the same pic..

This band of outsiders leather jacket is

.  I love leather jackets with normal collars and not motorcycle inspired ones. 
But for $2000... I'll pass til I win the lotto.  I think I've seen similar color ones at Zara.

Damn thats a dope jacket. I don't know about winning the lotto...if I had it to spend I probably would. Thats a jacket I could see myself wearing for years and years so it'd be worth. But I don't, so I wont.

 

[shoemasta72]

That jacket is just....wow. 
I picked this up earlier today. Same style as the shirt I posted the other day, just in red.

www.jackthreads.com has some great deals...

New ToJ Varsity, also reversible.

 

[shoemasta72]

Houston doesn't really allow me to rock jackets like that, but jeebus that is gorgeous

[drtobaggan]

I'm just not a fan of longwings, i've seen less than a handful that I like and that isn't one of them. A regular wingtip would be a staple, longwings, not so much for me anyways.

 

[shoebuyer78910]

desert boots are classic and will have you looking fly

 

[chaostheory]

Yeah I guess $2000 is a decent price for a brand name leather jacket, especially if you look at some clothes as an 'investment' type %**.

 

[mistererickk]

Thanks guys, I'll check Zara cos I'm not tryna spend 2000 

. 

Picked these items up in the past week; only spent 60 for all three things

One of their F/W shirts was just featured in the latest GQ. It's a take on urban camo. Pretty slick

agreed.. im a bit short also 5'6 

 also a slim guy...
and shirts like these always fit me long, soo any other brands you recommend me? ive had a couple shirts altered, love them BUT it does get pricey.. smh

I've come to terms with my dilemma. I am 5'7, 145. I like my clothes to be fi

tted and trim. If I wanted to wear a parachute, I'd buy one.
For my casual, no tie button downs, I prefer Gitman Bro Vintage, Hamilton, and sometimes Theory. For dress shirts, Turnbull & Asser, RL (black and/or purple), and Boss Black on some occasions. 

It sucks, but it takes trial and error. 

appreciate that  man.
also see you stay in houston, i do too. any tailors your prefer?

what is the style of that shoe? Is it just considered a cap toe? oxford? and how much did they run you if you dont mind

 

[rfx45]

Shoe is an oxford cap-toe.
That particular pair is unique that it is made of canvas uppers and leather toecaps.
Brand is Lanvin, retail is $515.

Yeah man...Houston sucks for fashion heads. Thus, there a very few tailors that care about what you want. IMO, Marsello's in the Galleria is pretty top notch. Most of the shops in the Galleria use them so I tend to go there when I need high end stuff altered.
My everyday tailor is about 5 minutes from my house (Willowbrook-%+!). If you are in the area, I can give you more details.

houston is the worst to wear anything for summer time.. i went to LA a few weeks ago and was able to wear shirts out there that i couldnt possibly wear here due to the heat.
yeaa i heard about marsello's from the guy who used to work at barney's in the galleria before they closed 

i needed my apc's altered since they were too long.. most deff dude, i stay in spring, not to far from willlowbrook area..
