Saturday & Sunday visiting family in The City; I love it.

Looking sharp, except the fit with the jacket. Just not feeling it for some reason. 
And for the person who asked, yes I think you can wear a sweather like the once Ace is wearing without a button down. 

I've done it with a well ironed white round neck shirt on the weekend.

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

Brooks Brother's they're actually having a sale right now on dress shirts.
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

Why not go to a custom shop and have one tailor made to your specs?

If you live in NY, Uniqlo is having a deal on Japanese denim for $9.90.  Not sure if they're selvedge though.  Check out Unbranded denim found in Urban Outfitters.  I think they sell for around $70.
In reference to APC New Standards, they do have a tapered leg.  It may not look like it since the inseams are usually really long and people wear them with stacking.

9.90?!?!?
I'm hoping that's a typo, or I'm jelly.

It's a promotion for their 2 new stores opening up.  One opened up last week and the other this week.
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

...he quoted himself with a pic of what he's looking for. I don't think he knows the brand.

Damn, I wonder if I can order some from over the phone

I went into Uniqlo today; the whole place is crowded as hell and really difficult to move around in. Hopefully that dies down.

Wait, $9.90...really?!  And does that come with their tailoring service?  Because I know they tailor pants for free...

Yeah, look on the website.  It shows the promotion.  Not sure about the tailoring though.

Anyone have any experiences good or bad with Indochino suits?

socks with boat shoes...to each his own.

just my 2 cents 

lmao this is a sport shirt
I dnt tuck in my shirt with jeans unless I wear a sportcoat or sweater

these are apc new standards how much more tapered do you want them

your right to each his own its not 90 in the middle of summer nor am I wearing shorts

just saying my piece is all..
and if you think that those jeans are "tapered", i'd suggest you read the past 1400+ pages again

Whats a good tapered jean thats not skinny or extra slim?  I been going with the polo cortlandt but selection is limited.

From what I heard from friends, it's only the straight cut, not the t000 or the s001.
And only at the new stores I believe.

 

[omgitswes]

Some yeah formal coming up in a couple weeks. Well my girl said it's more of a semi formal so just a shirt and tie will be okay.
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

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.
