Are traditionally made shoes (goodyear welted or blake etc.) better than cemented/vulcanized commonly seen today? They're more expensive for sure, but how much money actually goes towards:
- the product being more durable - upper leather from a known tannery or soles from Vibram, Dainite, Svig etc.
- the labor cost of a traditional craftsman

I never repair my cheap vulcanized shoes but I saw a video from a cobbler repairing a worn out tread. He sanded down the old sole, took a new Vibram one, re-vulcanized it to the old sole et voila.

If cemented shoes are repairable, is GYW just a meme?

> loafers sans socks

>>18624901
You buy good quality leather footwear because you want good quality leather footwear, not because it's cheaper.

>>18624901
>Are traditionally made shoes (goodyear welted or blake etc.) better than cemented/vulcanized commonly seen today?
significantly

cemented trash is well trash and most often uses shitty leather
sewn/welted shoes will use good leather
also the lasts will be different

more expensive is more gooder here for a while until you pay for the name

Any good venetian/belgian loafer brands?
Belgian Loafers obviously, Del Toro and Rubinacci all make some nice designs but I want to see more of what is out there

I'm curious, why not? What about if you wore the denim under a fuzzy/knit sweater?

>>18626198
Ignoring the AI slop for a moment, I really don't care for alot of these garments. They don't look like suits, they're /tip/ simply because rich people used to wear this kind of stuff, or ismply because they're old fashioned.

For example: trench coats, all the belts and waxing are because it's meant to be a raincoat before modern waterproof fabrics existed. There's no reason to wear it over a modern raincoat.

>>18626511
The picture says denim jacket. I consider that outerwear. In any case, I just feel like the character of trench requires more formality than denim has although strictly speaking it's at most a business casual appropriate coat. A clean chambray shirt underneath a fine merino/cashmere cardigan or v-neck is the least formal I would go for.

Someone recently described my style as casual-almost business yale-esque type of trad/academic. I have no idea what that means, but I'd love to capitalize on this. As someone with no genuine knowledge on ivy style, do different ivy schools have different "vibes" or style?

For the longest time I've been trying to find a regular fit dark brown chino with a 36 inseam in good quality, all the ones I've been finding all have 34 inseam at best. I've found pic related from Charles Tyrwhitt but it's 97% cotton and 3% elastane, which I'd rather avoid, looking for 100%, do you guys know any?

Peter Christian started delivering to more EU countries and I recently got my order. I hate the "expanding comfort waistband" shit that they added because customers probably kept complaining that they like high waisted trousers, but it's restricting on the stomach. Still for high waisted cord/moleskin trousers I don't know an alternative.

>>18629118
For OCBDs, chinos, jeans, some knits and some outerwear yeah. The lambswool crew neck jumper could also work - they even provide the staple length (19.5 microns), other lambswool stuff is probably also OK. The outerwear has some /tip/-aligned stuff like the Barbour knockoff jacket, the pseudo "harrington" that's missing half the features, the Chesterfield coat. It could be tempting to buy their stuff that has "brushed jersey" in the name because it tries to copy the wool equivalents but they're all poly-cotton blend and therefore shit. You're gonna have to go to big boy stores or second hand for the wool trousers and sport jackets. Basically Uniqlo I think may be joining a race to the bottom to top Zara and H&M. You need to be really careful to watch the composition to make sure you're buying one of their decent things rather than one of their dogshit things.
Uniqlo kinda works even on a historical level - in Ametora there's a passage that mentions the people that worked for Van Jacket (one of the companies that started "ivy" in Japan) went to work for Fast Retailing, Uniqlo's parent company. Tadashi Yanai's (Fast Retailing CEO) supposedly ran a Van Jacket store. I guess this is why their catalogues still give that ivy vibe sometimes.
Mysteriously they don't provide the micron length for their cashmere knits :) sweaters, beanies, gloves etc because they probably use the most bottom barrel dogshit cashmere there is just to be able to say it's cashmere (don't buy their cashmere ok) - a cashmere sweater doesn't cost 100 EUR, try 400 lmao, better buy decent lambswool for cheap than dogshit cashmere for cheap

All that said the fabric looks nice, the color is good and the cut is great other then the low rise.

True. Ancient Egyptians were people from Nubia(Nilotic tribes), western Ethiopian tribes and eastern Chad tribes who migrated using the nile.

Oldest Greeks texts describe people of Egypt and africans along the red sea as dark-skinned/sun-burnt.
Ancient Egyptians were not European and sure as hell were not Arab invaders who destroyed the last remnants of ancient egypt.

Found some nice looking chinos, I was wondering should I go for 100% cotton or 100% wool? Which lasts longer? I never owned wool pants before

Wouldn't you get more visible salt stains on darker colors? They like their dark brown chinos in Italy and I think it looks nice though.
>>18637845
Chinos are cotton only. If you're just getting into /tip/ probably start with cotton since wool needs to be dry cleaned.
>>18637851
I imagine it'd look like sexcore if you bought "regular dyel person" clothes like in OP pic so for you they'd be skintight.
Some Brooks Brothers (it gets shit on a lot because of the private equity acquisition) shirt cuts are loose so they'd maybe accomodate a bigger frame better. Ralph Lauren has a Big and Tall section too

I want to get a safari jacket since I live somewhere with a hot climate for most of the year, but I struggle to think of good fits for it. I've seen a few pics for inspo, but I don't know how to slot it in to what I already have (chinos, dark wash jeans, OCBDs, etc.)

Any other brands that do a penny loafer in a similar style to Allen's LHS or Crockett and Jones's Boston?
I like that sort of taller side wall, wider apron stitching style they do as opposed to more narrow aprons like Grant Stone for example
JM Weston does but they're a split toe and not a raised lake style apron (getting real technical over here)

It makes me sad. I didn't buy a few shirts when they were on sale last year and now it seems like I won't be able to afford them. Even their sale prices are rough now. I have a few of their shirts and they're great, but it's getting too expensive.

Are there any alternatives to Ebay in Europe if you want to buy a vintage suit?

>>18638382
Would have benefited from dark pants as contrast. White shoes + whiote trousers + creme jacket + white/grey shirt = you look like a dingus. Get some contrast dingus.

Just make sure it contrasts enough with your chinos and you're golden.

is new england shirt company any good? Considering buying a few of their oxford shirts but I usually wear them untucked because I prefer the look unless it's a dress shirt. J Press oxfords look like blouses so I need to tuck them in. I have a few old BB miusa oxfords that fit well in length but the neck and shoulders are way too small, so I don't want to have to buy a xxl from NESC just so it fits my shoulders

Buzz Rickson's. The original spec chinos in particular are a good cut. I personally own the 1945 Chinos but it's a bit more of a relaxed fit

>>18640793
I picked up a pair of the buzz rickson original spec chinos recently. The cut is great, the fabric and construction are top tier but the rise is a good inch too low imo

>>18640799
The 1945 and 1942 chinos might be better for you if you're fine with a more relaxed fit. I tried them all on in person at Hinoya. They're a couple of inches higher in rise compared to the original spec

i'm sure it's been asked before plenty of times, but what's /tip/'s preferred brand for Oxford Shirts?
i was looking at Ralph Lauren, but i keep reading about Kamakura Shirts. while the reviews are good, im always hesitant of purchasing clothes online. i have wide shoulders and a big chest so i tend to get made my shirts custom made.

>>18640974
here in Montreal we get temperatures like that. i wear a wool overcoat with a scarf. i could also add a vest for some added layering.
Parkas are ideal, but i don't find them that aesthetically pleasing

>>18641621
I have a couple from Kamakura and they're excellent. Their sizing is weird because it's made for Japanese manlets, so be sure to compare the measurements. No complaints from them
Ralph Lauren is Ralph Lauren. They're the quintessential OCBD for a lot of people. People complain about the collars, about the whatever else, and where they're made. At the end of the day I've had my shirts from them for a decade or more and they're great. The price for being made in Asian sweatshops is my real issue

>>18641624
What kind of coat and what kind of vest?
I've got a duffle coat, but it's too cold without thick layers underneath. My tweed sport coat feels too formal, while a sweater is too impractical and awkward to take off when it gets too warm

>>18641625
im going to get a suit picked up in a few weeks. i'll ask to get my measures taken so i can compare with their sizing info

>>18641675
Or you can just find a shirt you already own that you know fits how you like and just compare the measurements

>>18641650
i have something similar to the H&M Atelier double breasted wool coat.
as for vest, i have a vest that goes with my Beaufort jacket but it's a little thin. i could upgrade for a down vest but these days im already wearing a suit under so im fine in the cold.

>>18641680
good point. i could do that.
also, which Kamakura do you own? i see there are different versions of OCBD on their site

>>18641710
I own their classic oxford cloth one. It's a few years old but just their regular line
I also own a royal oxford shirt that I wear when I need to dress nice

They're doing wool because it's for AW but if the core is cotton and warm weather military uniforms then what's the point in AW? Well, it's their own money that they're losing anyway.
Same with merz b schwanen. Ever since the bear boom they added made in portugal items. Now you need to sift through the UI and find the "originals" collection with items people actually go to merz for, so the loopwheeled made in germany ones.

>>18644561
I prioritise shoulder and chest fit, taking in the waist as needed. Finding full suits or knit jumpers is futile.

>>18643030
I don't know. It seems like it's a universal thing for all women born after 1980
>>18644561
You're in a really rough spot because you are both tall AND skinny. Best advice would be to start bulking up, you'll have more options at 6'3" with moderate muscular development than you do now.
For stuff like suits, you're almost definitely going to need to buy stuff that is too big and then get it tailored to fit you.

What's the ranking for the following brands effay status, /tip/?
Lacoste, Polo, Boss, Armani (Giorgio, Emporio, EA7, etc.), LL Bean, Vineyard Vines, Fred Perry, and anything I am missing? I am in Canada, outside of Toronto. I see White dudes wearing Emporio Armani, but only jeets in AX. Lotta jeets in US Polo Assn too.

>>18645649
Too lazy to delete and rewrite so I am double posting
The jeets also wear a lot of fake Burberry, Amiri, and other luxury stuff. It's funny seeing fresh off the plane jeets wearing Burberry shirts while working at dollar stores. Anyway I ask because I just started caring about trying to look good and I am just starting out and want to avoid anything jeetish. I really like the quality of Polo basics. The fleece lined crewneck sweaters are super comfy. I found Boss to be too tight-fitting for me, I am 6 foot 5 and over 200 lbs fyi.

It recently occurred to me that, before sneakers became really popular, it was vastly more common to see men wearing oxfords and whatnot. I wonder, what would be a good oxford to get into that isn't too expensive? Any brands people recommend?

There's no need to be schizo about 100% cotton when it's only 3% elastane.

I want a 100% white nation just as much as I want 100% cotton/wool/linen in my clothes. I will not accept even 1% of (((modern))) materials

>>18647552
You'll just end up paying more for something that hides the elastane in the trim, or with some other rounding thing.
You presumably have reasons for why you want 100% white people in a country. Can you say why you want 100% natural materials in your clothes though? 100% meaning not even a small amount, which cannot harm you, so don't make a general case against modern materials, on which I agree with you about them as a larger percentage material, by the way.

I'm not jewish. Do you want me to denounce the talmud or something just so we can talk about how no harm will come to you from 3% elastane?
I don't like the talmud, don't know what's in it really, don't care, and I'm willing to say it sucks and it's bad and all so that you can stop deflecting when you found you don't actually know what you think 3% elastane will do to you.

>>18647602
3% elastine is all a shirt needs to be as stretchy as leggings. Clothing made with strech fabric uses less material and is typically cut slimmer because the stretch makes up for garbage pattern making. I'm not buying clothes with cuts that would be completely unwearable if they weren't strechy.
I made the mistake of buying chino shorts (mistake one) made out of 3% polyurethane or some other stretch garbage blend (second mistake) the fit is terrible because they aren't constrained by using fabric without elastic properties so why bother making a pattern that the human body can move naturally in.

What's a good brand/place to get these kinds of wool pants that are good enough quality that I can get one pair and use it for a few decades?
I'm so sick and tired of fast fashion, just want a handful of outfits to settle down on

>>18645332
Asket has OCBDs and the 3 length size system, Sanvt the same but German
Devold/Norlender/Aclima/Dale of Norway (is it even good?), Andersen & Andersen for knitwear
Casatlantic is operated out of Sweden
Eton, Stenstroms for shirts (look for Eton DNA on 2nd hand sites to get made in sweden)
Aurlands for penny loafers
Random: Fjallraven/A Day's March/Marc'o Polo

I realized you can also just go to Stockholm on Google Maps and search "men's clothes", though you'd have to filter out the international chains in your head

You can also go to https://www.careofcarl.com/en/made-in-europe and use the "made in" filter to narrow it down to Estonia or Lithuania, since that's where the scandinavian brands seem to like to make things

>>18645969
Sorry don't really know, I'd probably look with Asket or Sanvt first. The reviews on the former include the reviewer's height, though people do complain about weird sizing too

>>18647721
Pants wear out, especially flannel. Sometimes people get two pairs of pants when buying a bespoke suit for this reason.
I guess the question isn't "what's a good brand/place" but "what's a weave pattern that's most durable". Denim would probably be easiest to go with. There's also the durable wool weaves like cavalry twill, thornproof, sharskin, tweed etc. but they look rather country coded.

>>18647556
Garments that are cut properly do not need to stretch. Stretch garments also lose their elasticity over time which hurts durability and looks awful. If you've ever owned stretch jeans you know exactly what I'm talking about. That 1% tells me everything I need to know about the priorities of those that made the garment.

>>18647785
My stretch selvedge (3% elastane) are my favorite pair of jeans

>>18647612
Those seems like reasonable points, though I do have some thoughts counter to that still.
It's stupid we had to go through through so much rigmarole to have what could have been a two or three post conversation.
