That picture looks weird. The jacket seems to be pulling a bit but the shirt wants to say in relaxed which is going against the wide peak lapel

He's walking/in motion.

The proportions are off. Dude looks like he is going to bag a bridesmaid after a friends wedding.

is that jason statham?

no.

is that jason statham?

tom ford (gucci etc)...

which makes some of the responses quite ironic.

is that jason statham?

I had to do a double take

 

[vancity74]

oops

tom ford (gucci etc)...

How so? A bad fitting suit is a bad fitting suit despite of the price point. There's no doubt Tom Ford suits are some of the best out there but from the picture, the waist compression is too great especially for the wide lapels he's known for.

 

[rfx45]

It's not ill-fitting though, that has always been the style of his suits, including the break on the pants and the wider leg opening with straight cut.

I think I would trust the designer most when it comes to his own suits and how it is intended to be worn just like Thom Brownes suits are meant to be cropped.

thus the irony, critiquing the creator of the style you worship not realizing what he was going for....

tom ford

 

[ksteezy]

yeah safe to assume his suit didnt fit like that by accident or lack of propper fit knowledge....lol

Cool, man. You got me. I never really paid attention to the pictures since I can't afford his suits at the moment. I've just read that the canvasses used for for his jackets are some of the best in the biz, and how the true Tom Ford fans disliked the suits provided in the latest 007 film

It would be interesting to see the pricing for Nas's line.

Edit: for the LA dudes, Epaulet is opening a store in Santa Monica in case you want to try stuff on prior to ordering. I'm pretty stoked about this, especially for footwear.

Nice to see more NTers posting than usual today...

What other brands of shoes are comparable to red wings?

Also, I'm really into Diesel shorts and True Religion jeans based on how they fit my awkward body. Any recommendations on similar fits?

That doesn't really give us an idea of fit though, hopefully you don't mean bootcut TRs.

No, more like twisted flares...





Any recs on shoes with lifetime guarantee/replacement/warranty???

Shoes with lifetime warranty? never heard of such a thing. Why would any company offer this? Footwear wears down over time, bro. It doesn't matter how expensive it is.

Still hoping for a black pair of those Katahdins....they really raised the price on those since I bought them. It retailed for like 140 when I bought my pair
