Question. I'm on suitsupply and used their sizing adviser thing and it said I'm a 48R.

That's seems a lot bigger than I expected so I think I missed the measurements up, but I can never remember what my suit size actually.

Can anyone help me out. I'm 6'3 and weigh 213

 

[typerpinoy]

no use guessing. just buy a tape measure or go to a tailor and measure yourself

 

[omgitswes]

I didn't guess, I used my measurements that I used on Indochino.
They have a couple different categories though, so I guess I did actually guess on a couple parts

I've seen your pics, and you're probably a 40R. You're nowhere near a 48R.

get a tape measure and someone else to measure you, or go to a tailor and get measured correctly.

I love olive pants with a light blue oxford shirt...so green camo for me.

need an opinion. i usually dont ask but for some reason i couldn't pick one.. im headed to fashion week this week and i want to wear the dockers camo alpha. i want to wear it with a blue oxford shirt and possibly a navy blue varsity(hm) or navy peacoat i was wondering which color would you pick. at first i was all about the regular camo but since i saw the wheat camo its been a hard decision an opinions would be great. its between the first 2 colors.

i honestly thing the monochromatic look would look better and you should go with the last pair

thanks guys for the input. i went with the olive color. When i thought about it more i can do more with that color. and typerpin i think i get what your saying with the colors. I think that would be a great idea. ill probably eventually get those too in the future

That's what I was thinking too. I think the one suit I do have is a 42R but I don't remember and it's no where on the suit to check.

I'll just measure myself again when I get home, thanks

At 6'3 213, you're likely a 42R/L in general. Depending on the cut, you may need to size to 44R/L with Suit Supply because some cuts run small. I'm typically about a 42 and I had to go 44 with some of my Suit Supply suits. 48R is just OD. No way you're bigger than a 44, even in their slimmer cuts.

 

[sirdilbert2k10]

^ I think this guys right. I'm pretty much your exact height and weight and I fit in a 44/L in the J. Crew ludlow sportcoat. no clue how it fits in comparison to a suit from suitsupply tho.

one of my AE seconds came into today and they are near flawless...will post both when second arrives

I read an article stating that dress shoes looks better lace in a straight bar setting.

Example:

My question is how do you tie it at the end?  And how do you manage to keep it tucked inside the shoes without it feeling uncomfortable? Any solutions?

 

[thetim11]

naything!

you must not be looking in the right places. there are definitely plenty of good buys in denim and shoes

i'm a sz 13 with huge thighs...

naything.

Try Wing+Horn slim straight or Acne Max.

 

[thetim11]

Love the wash on those 484s. Definitely gonna head in and check em out.

I like my denim more tapered than slim straight, so i might take those to the cleaners for a quick job.

 

[grizzlyboy]

You might need to get them tapered. I do this often.

I'm 6'1 190lbs and I'm a 42R... it'll probably be very big. All depends on body type though, just go to a local Macys or something and try some stuff on to get an idea for sizing

All my "dress" shoes are laced in bar lacing, personally I think they look a lot better than your typical X pattern that we're used to with sneakers. To me it gives a much more sleek look to the shoes. In regards to your questions, I tie my shoes no different than I do any other shoes I own. I tuck the bunny ears of my laces into my shoes but I do this withs all my shoes, sneakers too, as I hate how the bunny ears sticking out look, just something about it. If it's uncomfortable it's that it's too tight. I usually don't have any issues with this.

 

[jordanlovah]

dope fits with the chambray ksteezy! i like the color of your Zara pants.....current season or old?

Also, DB folks....is there a general rule of thumb on cuffing your pants over boots vs. low cut shoes? I've tried a few times and haven't been 100% pleased with the look. thanks!


also, lebron looks uncomfy and doesn't even look that skinny in real life lol

So you tuck the bunny ears under the tounge? Because I was just letting the laces sit on the insole/under my feet. Talk about uncomfortable.

Nice!  what you get?  I have purchased 6 pair of seconds in the last couple weeks

Actually in between the tongue and the upper leather of the shoe...I don't know if that makes sense, the best way I can describe it is right under the laces and the tongue.

I use bar lacing with normal tie, and no tuck.  Never had a problem or thought it needed tucking

Bros, utilize stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls. They have decent deals on things other than urban wear and Ralph Lauren.
