One more leather jacket, just need a brown one and I'd be set.

^You sure? I'm pretty sure you need at least 3 more. Get on that.

Hey guys, need help with a suiting question again.

This is an old suit I've had in my closet for a while and want to see if it's worth salvaging. I don't like the shoulders much or the sleeves but I wanted to get everyone's opinion on it. I wore it to work today and of course nobody notices anything wrong with it but I'm sure the Dressing Better connoisseurs will help dissecting it. (Worn with brown belt and wingtips)

Suit looks good, just need to shorten the sleeves.
Also, position the camera a bit higher so we can see how the suit really looks.

I have a question and I dont know how quite to explain it.. Some guys i see wearing suits their pants are basically light in weight and it just blows in the wind and looks funny when they walk which material pants is a suit usually

 

[rfx45]

Wool is probably the most used material when it comes to suits, unless you go the cheaper route where they use polyester. Chances are, the material you see used are wool, they tend to be pretty light and I could imagine it being moved by the wind. There are plenty of other material options though.

If you don't mind me asking RFX, what do you do for a living? I think you just bought two Rick Owens leathers. Check out the Lad Musician leather, I think there is a brown color. Another one of my favorite brands I cannot afford.

 

[rfx45]

I think Lad Musician leathers is much harder to find in the U.S. just like Julius.
I am looking for a more traditional brown leather jacket though, maybe a bomber style but w/o it being too bomber-esque.
The new TOJ Bombers looks great with the smaller pockets, something like this would work for me.

Or something like this Dior but in dark brown.

you've really identified the issues with the suit already. the shoulder is the biggest - and that is probably hardest to fix. many tailors will promise you they can fix it and then disappoint you. depending on how much you care for it, you can try fixing it - if not i'd say sell and pick up something that fits better. shoulders are the most important/difficult place to fix.

when?!?

 

[nako xl]

anyone know where to get red wing type boots like this

for less than $300?

 

[mayhemmonkey000]

Just a quick Q about tie bars. Is there any proper placement for a tie bar? Does it matter if you're wearing a blazer closed, open, or no blazer? Or is it just up to personal preference. I want the tie bar to be as subtle as possible.

Anyone near a retailer that has Crockett and Jones footwear?

 

[paycheck26]

Are there any stores currently having a sale on the Clarks Desert Boot, more specifically, the beeswax color?

Thanks for this! Posted it in my blog. This helps us dudes here in the Philippines a lot since we do like ordering stuff from the US (though the net or through US-based relatives). I remember when my dad got me a pair of Levi's from the States. Tag says 36, but it sure as hell felt like a 42 or something *fail*
