Info on the shoes?

I needed shoes for work so I went to Aldo. Not the fanciest shoes in the world but they get the job done.

...so im the only one that thinks this whole suit looks like a mess?

No, it does. To me this is a perfect example of the new "trendy" cut suits that a lot of urban brands are putting out. The jackets are almost comically short, and the pants have a weird boot-cut type of shape to them. The suits fit well in some areas, but the jackets are usually so ridiculously short that it ruins the entire look, like here. 

Also the arm holes are cut to low for a slim cut like that, makes the shoulders look wider and causes the jacket to pull more than it should when buttoned.  My biggest problem with alot of the slimmer cut suits these days are the small lapels, take the J.Crew Ludlow for example, it is a nice suit with a good cut but the lapels are ridiculous on that thing.

Doesnt it depend on how much fabric the tailor kept inside the seam?

Hi all,

Recently purchased this BB Fitzgerald 1818 Suit. Thoughts on fit/alterations? My untrained eye says: pants hemmed, sides taken in, and fix the pinching near the neck. Sorry for the huge pics. Thanks.

For jeans, the tailor rarely leaves any extra denim because it's thicker than usual and it tends to just add extra bulk and makes it difficult to stitch/sew. That is also why some tailors charge more when working with denim.

^ absolutely would never wear, ever.

I kind of like the bottom pair. They're not as OD as the others, but still a modern twist on a classic-looking shoe.

I need some help, I will be going to Chelsea Prime in Atlantic City with my significant other sometime this month. Now the attire is dressy.

I need help on putting together a simple outfit, basically I'm looking for a dress shirt, tie, pants, shoes.

I already have in mind that I would like to wear a gingham shirt, possibly herringbone pants and possibly brown wingtips but I'm just having trouble putting together an outfit.

I would also love to go with a slim/skinny fit, any input would be greatly appreciated

Question:

If I get a pair of boot cut jeans that are a 34x34, could I get them tapered at a tailor and have them sized down to a 34x32 with more of a straight leg opening?

You could... but I've always held the opinion that altering bootcut jeans into a straight leg would make it look a bit off and awkward.  But that's not to say you couldn't do it.  I would just get them hemmed and leave them bootcut.
