-About Jordans/Dunks. Some will be a lot easier to rock with nicer outfits than others. I could see someone pulling off the Jordan I's or some relatively plain Dunks, but not sure how you would rock something like the Jordans with the hole on the side or the ones with the basket weave on top. Also, if you do wear sneakers, my rule is to make sure the rest of your outfit is simple. I.e., black/red Jordans with a plain black t and jeans, instead of a black/red shirt that matches perfectly.
- What nii said. But this brings up a really frustrating thing about tailors. They often force their opinions on you, and put you in a position in which you don't want to just totally disagree with them since they're making your suit/shirt, but you don't want to pay for something you don't like. What I've learned is that if a tailor is pushy, or insists that something would be "too tight" even if you still think it's too baggy, just walk out and find another tailor.

that tweed blazer will never fit correctly no matter how much you alter it.. if it doesn't fit in the shoulders/chest (which yours doesn't appear to) it will never fit right.. you should deff down size and then alter. pants need to be hemmed with little to no break.. colors look good though but like someone said thats more of a fall/winter look

i dont blame u at all i love wearing my sneakers without the usual t-shirts.. i think the Jordan 1s are the best for any wear because of the silhouette of the shoe.. also the jordan xi and the jordan III are probably also pretty good in that category... dont forget nike blazers.. especially the supreme edition.. ive seen those pulled off very nicely with peacoats, ties and that other stuff.

thanks for all the help guys. the shoes, jacket, and pants were all from a thrift store so I wasnt expecting them to fit perfectly. i paid like $17 total.
I ended up hemming the pants myself and changed the jacket for a sweater. I guess i'll try and get the jacket altered a bit after summers over.

Ben Sherman had 30% off today. Probably doesn't help much at 1:11 am though. I'm sure just about everybody is having a Memorial Day sale though. Too bad I'm out here like Ice Cube in Friday...........broke as a joke. I need to break out my CC tomorrow to get some pants from Zara and take a peek in Barneys.

Its actually not a bad fit. Tweed is more fall/winter. Just get the pants and jacket tailored to fit your body. I would switch the tie though, look is a little muted.
I would say rock a white shirt and choose a diff tie. The shoes are

so this jacket most likely doesnt belong in this thread.. But i figure RFX/Nii would be the people to ask these (probably stupid) questions to lol..
Anyone know where i can design iron on/sew on patches to replace the stupid logo/emblem that came on this one vwith?
now for the stupid question.. Is there anyway a tailor/anyone could change the blue stripes to something different?
thx in advance..

From time to time Banana Republic has great sales on slacks. On more than one occasion BR has had 150 dollar slacks for 30 dollars.

IMO it depends on the style/cut you get. If I feel froggy I will take pics of some BR pants I have bought.

agreed. the slimmest they have (if available) is the Monogram line. GAP shirts/pants are slimmer from what I've found.

Sneakers are fine. I don't know why a lot of you guys think you can't wear sneakers with nice casual clothes. Don't let GQ or Details brainwash you thinking everyday is a formal fashion show. As long as your sneakers coordinate with your clothes and i'm not talking about matching every color exactly.

Jordans 1-7 and 11s should look fine if you dressing casually, all the other ones might throw it off

IMO, There are some sneaks that can still be rocked without it being tacky. But only a select few. Simple colorways are a must.
Its hard to wear sneakers without looking like a high schooler, but there are ways to get it done.

I'll never understand why people button the bottom on suits or sports coats and the left sleeve is too short.
