Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Is Gap the best place I'm going to find an inexpensive leather biker jacket? I see they have one for 348 and was going to wait for a no exclusion code to drop

H&M or Zara or Wilsons Leathers (if they still exist).

From what I know, the Chealsea quilted runs a little bit roomier than the Liddesdale in the chest and sleeve.
For reference I'm 6'2 185 and I wear Mediums in any Barbour quilted stuff
Depending on your body type, go with what you normally wear just to be safe

Thanks man, this helps. I'm 6'3" 185, so I'm nearly identical to your build. I like my close more tailored too so I'll try for a M. Thanks again.

Just received my pair of Daltons from nordstroms. Quality definitely doesn't justify the retail price they charge. Got them on sale and had a gift certificate. Sloppy stitching everywhere and a few pieces of leather look like they weren't finished being cut. Not sure if i'll return or keep to wear the hell out of.

Get em swapped for sure.

Anyone have any recommendations for a shawl-collar sweater under $200? H&M has one for $40 but wanted to look around.

Go get them Daniel Cremieux ones from Dillard's for half that, Perry Ellis outlet store had some for the ultra low too and they have a 20% off coupon you can just download on your phone and show at the store

J. Crew has a few. Also check Banana Republic. I just bought a thick shawl collar cardigan from them for less than $100.

H&M hasn't released the prices on their Alexander Wang collab yet?

Already plotting on how I can own this or something similar. Went to Zara a while back and saw one.

Anyone own the airport sweater from the apc kanye collab? How soft is the baby alpaca?

Recently purchased this from JCrew in preparation for upcoming Holiday parties:

Went tts 38s, and boy does this fit slim. Armholes were higher and waist was slimmer compared to my other wool ludlow blazers. Might consider exchanging for the 40s, but I am worried that the length of the body might be too long.

Thoughts?

Why would you worry about the length if both are small?

although both are designated as 'short' sizing, wouldn't the length of the bodies increase as one goes up in chest size?

So the length of the body on a 40s would be longer than 38s and 36s respectively?

 

[typerpinoy]

no

No. The length would be the same on a 36S, 48S and 40S. If you need a longer jacket then you need to up to a R. The only thing that increases is the chest size not the length of the jacket.

I'm working on finally building my wardrobe now that I have a lot of my basics covered. I'm curious what you guys would consider staple pieces. I know everyone will have a slightly similar staple closet but what are your guys'? I kinda just want to start some good conversation in here like more towards the beginning of the thread.

Anyone know how the fit on JCF sportscoats compares to the Ludlow fit?

I fit a 36R perfect in the Ludlow. Should I buy the same size?
