Dressing better

[general johnson]

Can someone point me in the direction of a good, quality bomber? I don't want to spend over $500. 
Doesn't have to be brown either... Thanks.

On another note.

clearly you didnt get the memo.

cheers,

Anyone know if Jcrew hoodies run true to size, big, or small? The closest store is far and the item is catalog only. 

 

[damn its me]

i tend to say J. crew runs half size big in general. i've a sweater from last christmas thats tagged XS, im 5'9"(almost, mosre like 5'8.5" and like 135 lbs. id say i'f you're familiar with gap sizing, i'd say the two are a close fit/match. If you can get measurements then by all means do so, even if it takes some googling.

 

[luckyluchiano]

So Zara doesnt have an online store?

 

[shogun]

^
I agree.  I own a lot of j. crew shirts and sweaters, they fit a little big.

A n_'s physique is accented like hell in a grey outfit.

Downside is that everybody got jokes saying I should shopping in the kids section.

No matter the brand, a fitted XL looks like a regular L on me.

. Not my fault.

Nii--did you get a chance to check out your BB extra slim fits?

On the website it says it has a center box pleat which makes me not want it.

Also--which would you reccomend (I assume both of these have non pleated backs and both contain darts): Charles Trywhitt or TM Lewin?

 

[throwedindagame]

Any recommendations for Modern/European Cuts suits for $600 or less? My FT job is going to be business formal.


I currently have 2 suits which are tailored, but they were original traditional cut and not quite thin enough for my taste.

 

[kramer]

I'm lookin for a watch that would go well with anything casual. Preferrably around or under 100, please and thank you

 

[kingofny04]

Anyone have the link to GQs article on the right suit for your body. It had before and after shots of a bad fit transformed into a good fit.

Yes, the BB ESF shirts have center back pleats. It doesn't bother me and I actually get it closed. A lot of brands does it, as in closed center back pleats, like Band of Outsiders.

Just go with Fossil or Kenneth Cole. Go to a Fossil outlet if possible, they have plenty of brands they make like Burberry and Michaal Kors, etc.... For that price, you really shouldn't even worry about what watch to get, just get the one you like the design/look of.

A lot, give Nordstrom Rack a visit. John Varvatos, Hickey and Ben Sherman usually has a more modern cut. Those brands can range from $300-$500 at the Rack.
Check out Z for Zegna there too, I think they have some modern cut suits as well.

Club Monaco's suit go for $500 all told as well.

 

[rfx45]

I think I read somewhere that Club Monaco is releasing even cheaper suits, not sure if the $500 price is the cheaper but I know they were making a more affordable suit, supposedly. I haven't tried on Club Monaco clothes though so I am not sure how slim they are. Are they on par with H&M?

 

[falcon4567]

Better than H&M, I'd say its a step below J.Crew.

Club Monaco is great. I'm not sure their clothing is quite as slim as H&M but very close. Plus the quality is infinitely better.

What do you mean you get the box pleat closed? My problem is that the box pleat created extra fabric going all the way down to the waist which makes the waist material too poofy.

Oh crap - sorry man, totally forgot ... but looks like RFX answered the question around the box pleats. With respect to CT vs TM Lewin .... i would say they are about the same in terms of price and quality. I have more TM Lewins than CT because i like the patterns TM Lewin puts out more.
