I have a wedding coming up and in general I need to step up my slim fit white shirts. I'm going for the "Mad men" look and wanted recommendations on white dress shirts. I feel like my currently collection isn't CRISP enough in the color space.
Here's the look I want:
Where should I go shopping? I'm willing to spend a considerable amount for quality since I'm now an adult
Why not go to a custom shop and have one tailor made to your specs?

Do you guys think this shirt, paired with navy pants will look too uniformish?
Also was thinking about wearing some brown shoes with it too, and don't know what color tie I should get. I was thinking navy with either colored diagonal stripes or polka dots

No to that shirt, it will look like you just got out of the office. I'd wear a jacket/blazer with that fit too, even if it is semi-formal, shirt with tie just looks very high-schoolish, like you're going to a winter formal. Brown shoes is fine if you can pull it all together but black shoes as a safe route since it'll look sharp with a navy trousers. I say just wear some nice slim white shirt with some dark tie.
Check your local Banana Republic. I passed by a few months back and they actually have a "Mad Men Clothing Line"Originally Posted by UYBornAgain

I def thought about this route as well. ProperCloth.com and BlankLabel.com were the two site I was thinking about. Have experience with either? I'm not against off the rack but just concerned about that look.
From everything I have heard I would stay away from the $10 jeans. They are apparently extremely thin and will wear out super fast, rather spend the money on their normal jeans they offer. Received some of the +J slim tapered flannel pants today from Uniqlo, fit is spot on for what I was looking for.Originally Posted by shogun
It's a promotion for their 2 new stores opening up. One opened up last week and the other this week.Originally Posted by omgitswes
9.90?!?!?
I'm hoping that's a typo, or I'm jelly.
I would go and buy like 10 pairs but I already bought 3 pairs of jeans recently. My RRL pair has been awesome so far.

Which leads me to the reason why I came in here.
How slim are their slim shirts? I'm not trying to be busting out of it
What sale is going on? I saw the 3 for $219 but that is the usually sale from my understanding. If you post your size we might be able to help for sizing. An extra slim fits a 148LB and 5'7 guy for perspective.

I kinda want a wool tie, do I need wool pants to pull that off?

For $180 or less, Timex Easy Reader is a decent choice and for 1/4th your budget. You can also check out Seiko. Browse around Jomashop.com and see if you find something you like. If you sign-up for their e-mail they'll give you a $20 off coupon too.
Not personally, but I hear mostly good things about their suits in general...most important of course is that you take accurate measurements!!Originally Posted by LyonBC1
Anyone have any experiences good or bad with Indochino suits?
