Completely disagree here. This should NOT be used as a rule of thumb. Buying a suit too small is even worse than buying one too big. Going down in size can pose many problems, especially considering different designers and cuts.

And i think his suit is breaking at the shoulder due to heavy padding and how he has his arm pointed and raised. The seam itself is where it should be. Thats more of a construction issue than buyer sizing. It wont be noticeable if he stands with arms at side or front.

Also, enough on the watch, the points are noted as well as his preference.

Lastly, anyone thinking that suit needs to be taken in is mistaken. Theres not much give in that area to take in that cut and give the illusion of a tapered/tailored fit. The suit is fine as is.

The issue is that most guys buy according to what they feel is comfortable. So people generally buy a size UP. So asking them to try going a size DOWN is more like asking them to try on what could be their exact size.

It doesn't work all the time, depending on where it was manufactured, but I've found going down a size is actually better - I was making too many alterations for my blazers.

As for the shoulder, that is why I said leave any jacket in the store that has that issue.

What type of shoes do you all recommend for work. I'll be on my feet 70% of the time. Any style or brands that you know of that are comfortable, yet stylish? I'll be wearing slacks and button down shirts under my lab coat. Thanks.

Re: GQing yourself

Question:

When rocking a Shawl collar sweater, is it necessary to wear an undershit underneath it? The sweater in question does not have a wide opening at the top, just slightly below the neck, not as low as the one in the link below.

I have one similar to the one below (dark grey/charcoal solid color) I plan to wear to the Xmas party with grey slacks.

Problem is I don't know if I should wear it with no shit under, a white t-shirt, or black t-shirt under it.

GQ brethren please help!!!

See the thing is that we are so laid back, that even with an oxford, I'l feel way overdressed :smh:

That's why I just want to keep it simple. Even with what I have stated (what I plan to wear), I will still be dressed better than 75% of the folks there. :smh: (Folks in IT, especially developers give two shits about dressing up). :smh:

That's why I am considering no shirt, or a plain tee (white or black underneath).
 
Great thread. I needed this. I have a great clothier in LA and this will help me make good choices from the options he presents. Thanks. And anyone looking for an LA clothier who comes to you at home or office feel free to hit me up.

Re: GQing yourself

Ok guys

My new resolution is to dress as smart as possible and looks like I will be around England for sometime to come so I might as well get myself into my English gentleman style on

I wanna buy Bowler hat...might not be everyone's choice but fuck I had a fantastic time with my English friends and today (Boxing day) being the traditional Hunting/Shooting...I learned a thing or 2 on Upper class folks here.

They are darn serious about how they dress...

I rocked a button down dress shirt underneath, btw if you have an H&M in your area check them out they have the same sweater but at a cheaper price.
