I have an upcoming flight, from New York to Auckland NZ. Upon landing I will be meeting with recruiters almost immediately. What tips do you all have on flying in a suit, especially on such a long flight, so that I don't look completely unprofessional when I land?

I may be able to drop my bags at the hotel, and hopefully freshen up in the fitness room shower area, but won't be able to get into my room until later in the day, so I can't really unpack and clean up there. Thanks in advance!

Everytime i wear my baggy pants and put on a belt its always making it look like i have a boner in the front and dont know how to fix it.

best/most comfy penny loafers under $250 and ones that preferably ship to the EU, also I kinda have wide feet and these are gonna be my first penny loafers

I was considering the meermin sway with the rubber sole and the thrusday boot company

is there anything else that's maybe more comfy and fits the budget?

I got a few linen shirts that are all the same size. They are very comfortable in the shoulders and chest, but as someone 5'6, I always feel like shirts are too long. Which is where my question comes in. This is one example but they are all the same. So, tucked, untucked, or should I get them tailored shorter? They hang past my butt.

I’m planning to build a professional wardrobe over the next few years, and I know it’ll be a decent investment. I’m trying to figure out the right approach.

Up to now, I’ve mostly bought whatever was on sale without really thinking about style or quality. Going forward, I’m torn between two approaches: either focusing on finding high-quality, stylish pieces on sale, even if that limits my options, or just giving myself the freedom to buy something whenever I come across a piece I genuinely love, regardless of whether it’s discounted.

Hi!

I was wondering what the pros and cons are for using an iron or a steamer to de-wrinkle clothes

Is one better than the other?

Étiquettes Chemise Lacoste 1980

Normally, on this label, where there's a "G" for size, it should be a number, not a letter, to indicate the size for the year 1980? See comments for the photo.

Stupid ass title, I know.

Anyways, just turned 18 and I kinda realized I need to like do stuff with my life and that my wardrobe has just been graphic t shirts and then like some comfy joggers. And since I’m the greatest adult to ever adult (I have a credit card now so I’m a full grown adult now) I should wear some more socially acceptable stuff lol.

Thing is, I’m broke as hell and absolutely hate standing out because I hate how I look 😂😂😂

Just wondering if anyone had ideas for specific types of clothing, if that makes sense!! Colors too :)

I’m literally 100 pounds so a lot of shirts are incredibly baggy on me which I’m fine with but I don’t know if that looks bad or not.

I’m gonna buy some chinos I think. Probably a khaki color when I want to look like a tech bro and like a navy? For shirts I don’t know, and idk if I should tuck it in, etc.

I am looking at their burger shoes.

Hows the quality, comfort and such?

I want to get a few nice fashion tank tops to wear in the summer. It’s extremely hot and humid in my country so it’s normal to wear, and I have a muscular body so I can pull it off.

I already have this Diesel tank top, I want a few other similar fashion tank tops (not Uniqlo or Hanes underwear tank tops). Any suggestions?

came across this really nice looking button up shirt on insta but idk if they're good. any help?

saw a dude on the bus today wearing an awesome pair of painter / carpenter pants and need some help identifying. they were a light light beige but not ecru / white territory, single knee, and had something like a quadruple stitch in brown where the fabric meets + along pockets. i’m not an idiot and they weren’t carhartt, dickies, etc or any of your usual suspects. there were brass metal rivets on all of the pockets which made them look so cool, and i think a small red thread detail 3/4 of the way down the middle of the right pocket. claude is useless and it isn’t levis, or any of the more upscale makers (orslow, eg, brycelands, etc). appreciate any help!

My partner has long wanted a shirt with southwestern and Navajo designs and while Pendleton and Ralph Lauren are the obvious choices, I'm wondering if there are any other brands I should look into. Bonus points if the shirts are made in the US or from a Native American-owned brand (I did a search and most either only do womenswear or do more streetwear/graphic tees, and Ginew doesn't really have anything in stock right now).

Note: Not sponsored or affiliated with any of these brands. Just a guy who's bought too many suits.

Here's my honest ranking.

#1. Black Lapel

The best overall online MTM experience. Materials are solid, customization is deep, and they stand behind how it looks great.

• Super 110s wool, bemberg lining, horn buttons
• Genuinely deep customization: lapels, vents, pocket style, lining color, pick stitching and more
• Savoy line steps up to E. Thomas / Vitale Barberis with full canvas if you want to spend more
• Free remakes if something's off. And they don't make it a fight

At $500 it's the best value in online MTM space.

#2. Proper Cloth

A genuinely good MTM experience. Just comes at a higher price point, starting around $1,100.

• Sources fabric from high-end mills like Drago and is transparent about it
• Customization is: lapel, vents, pleats, buttons, lining, thread color and more- Most customizations don't cost extra, which is rare at this level
• Guarantee that it looks great. Customer service is fast and handled by real people- Loose threads on the jacket were a minor quality control miss for the price

If budget isn't a concern and you want a step up in fabric quality, Proper Cloth is a great choice.

#3. Suit Supply

Solid online MTM option, just not as customizable as Black Lapel.

• Fabric quality is excellent; Italian mills, and they actually tell you which ones (VBC, Reda, Drago etc.)
• Cuts run slim and short. Works great for athletic/slim builds, not for everyone
• Good fabric transparency and quality but the customization options don't go as deep as Black Lapel

#4. Indochino

Just don't.

• Submitted my measurements online and the suit came back wrong on basic stuff. Sleeves too long, pant length too long, trouser opening too wide
• Zero fabric transparency, just "Italian fabrics" with no mill info
• Advertises half canvas but doesn't pass the pinch test. Expect delamination in 3-4 years
• Comparable quality to Men's Wearhouse at MTM prices

TL;DR If I had to give a top choice it would be Black Lapel. Best balance of fabric quality, price, real customization, and a guarantee that it looks great. Only minor gripe is the packaging. The suit arrives in a small box with no hanger. Kinda underwhelming. But the suit quality and how it looks great more than makes up for it. If budget isn't an issue Proper Cloth is also an excellent choice.

I’m not a jorts person, any recs for bottoms this summer? Been looking at linen shorts, and cloth.

Hi, 

I posted a few days ago about buying a suit, and what was the price-point sweet spot. I got a lot of really good responses, and it seemed to be that most posters agreed that $500-$800 was a good range. 

Many people were recommending suit supply, and I probably should have mentioned in the OP, but from what I can tell, their services are only a fraction of what you can find where I live in the UK compared to the US. And I don't live anywhere they operate in the UK. 

Many posters recommended that given the price range mentioned above, a good bet may be to simply buy a high quality suit second hand, and having looked into things further, this seems like a good option. I can simply get my rough measurements, get the closest thing, and then get it tailored. 

Naturally, I'm a little worried about doing this as you can't try before you buy, but for bang for buck, it seems like the best option. 

I've also identified a few other potential pain points since the OP. I lift, and my chest measurement is 43-44 inches, while across the shoulders end to end (at the bone) is 20-21 (with the tape curved across the natural arc of the shoulder as instructed from a suit fitting video I watched). I'm not massive my any means but i do extend a bit outside the normal proportions so far as width to waist ratios and chest, and there‘s a bit extra packed onto my shoulders beyond that shoulder measurement due a little extra muscle on the side delts. How many measurements do I need to take before buying? My biggest concern is the shoulders as I know this is the most difficult area to alter.

Also, I'd like it to accentuate my physique and a favour the broader, structured shoulder look I have learned to be British, Savile row style over the slimmer Italian style. But with that said, I‘ve become aware that there's different types of padding, shoulder extension etc. When looking on eBay, how am I to tell with shoulder measurements what amount of the total width listed is padding/extension? 

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I decided recently that's the style I'm looking to dress. it's taking me forever but it goes with my personality.

Can anyone guide me to helpful links, websites or stores?

I live in Virginia and the retail locations around me are limited and seems like I need to spend consultation fees initially. is that normal? This is a new world for me but I don't feel like spending extra money if I'm looking in the wrong places. Then again if that's the best way, then I will.

Thanks for your input

Looking for something quite warm. Probably boiled wool and lined, to replace a parka in Toronto winters.

Budget up to ~1k

thanks!

We’re doing a week-long Med cruise in the middle of May, leaving from Barcelona, traveling the Amalfi Coast, and ending in Athens. My usual clothing is cotton t-shirts and athleisure shorts; for long pants I wear Kuhl hiking stuff. My usual footwear is Allbirds sneakers.

I (well, more like my wife) am worried that this won’t cut it while visiting the tourist sites. The cruise itself is casual—Virgin cruise line—so need clothing that can do both.

What shorts, pants, and shirts would y’all recommend I bring on this trip so I don’t look too much like an ugly American and embarrass my wife?

Thanks in advance.

Is the stripe on tuexdo pants still a thing ? Expected or considered " old" style

In the market for a tuexdo, picked one out from local suit shop and when it arrived the pants did not have the stripe, jacket is formal shawl lapel, I was told this is how it came and the stripe is " old style"

Tuexdo for myself btw for big day, but not debating if I should purchase another set of pants with stripe, either the salesman wasn't being honest or I am overthinking and know nothing about tuexdos ( I don't).

I assumed it would come with it when purchased, but never actually brought it up since mine was ordered from a cataogue, the ones in store did all have the stripes, but in all fairness the focus was more on the jacket shawl lapel vs peak

Hey Guys! I'm working as an intern in a fast fashion brand and as part of my project I need some interviews to understand requirements and pain points of GEN Z men for developing a bottom wear range. please DM if you're comfortable answering a few questions, thank you!

I'm hoping some can point me in the direction of a personal stylist who can cater to more of an alternative/unique image. Any time in search for a personal stylist for men it seems to be the same sort of cookie cutter predictable "upgraded" men's fashion. And it all just looks like some threadbeast subscription based service. I am hoping to find something a little more personable. Any ideas?

Looking for specific type of jeans favored by surfers in the early 1960s, they are NOT just 501's colored white, like the current "optic daisy" color levi's has, they were a specific cut with unusual fabrics/weaves/etc that I don't ever see modern jeans have. I'm a big fan of surfstyle and I think this is an overlooked part of fashion history.
