BGOL SARTORIALISTS: A thread

Re: GQing yourself

Actually 2 of those reasons is why I brought it. Pants are form fitting (it's 34w 32L, I'm a 31w in top shape, I just got to hit the cardio and diet right this week), and I like my wrists being over exposed. The space when buttoned did bother me initially but fuck it, everyone has their own styles. The more I look at the pics, yeah I might return it for a 46L. I'm torn.




I do, I took the pics quickly just to get an idea what it'll look like with the finished product.

On a slim fit suit, Your going to want to get your size in an L. Not so much for the length but the cut fits us regular sized guys a little better. You can always get the sleeves shortened if you want to expose your wrists a bit more. Looks good though, where did you cop it?

Burglington Coat Factory. It's Kenneth Cole Reaction slim fit line. Price I paid in store was same price online $150.

Alright bro's, after that embarrassing debacle of thinking I was hot shit in that horrible fitting suit I'm back to redeem myself.

This fits much better. I just got to get it taken in the middle and it's on. $110 Sean Jean suit at Burlington Coat Factory.

The look I'm going for.

Your collar is too big. The suit is nice though.

Re: GQing yourself

i think that dude 4north is a certified clown but true story sean john suits are the lowkey best value in suits at the under $200 pricepoint.

fabric and cut are usually pretty good. get the jacket taken in and ur good to go.

I thought you were told not too long ago about wearing bulky watches with suits.

Not a good look

Thats a clean suit bruh. The neck does look about a inch too big. I have that issue when I buy pre-made shirts. In order to get a 40 sleeve I have to buy a shirt that is too big in the neck. Paul Fredrick was my solution on that one. Props on the suit and color combo though. People be sleep'n on suits you can find and BCF

Thanks, appreciate it man that was a throw away shirt I just put on to see what the final look would look like. I'm still very brand new to suits and still got a shit load to learn. I didn't know how to tie a tie until last year at age 24. My Dad is almost 50 and still doesn't know how to tie a tie.

This is an old coworker of mine. He was a beast when it came to suits n stuff so he inspired me. It was amazing to see how people, espeically women respect the hell out of you when you rock a suit.

Nicely put together. Still don't agree with the big watch thing though.

I wasted my $$$ on an Invicta recently , and I regret it. Too fucking big.

Dog that's whats up! You build and build. I did the same shit! After about 5 years I understood what the right shirt was, right tie, and right suit, and right shoes. At the job I pass that down to any bruh who is interested, man that is true brotherhood! Good shit fam

Re: GQing yourself

While I'm at it, I have a wedding to attend next month.

I'm not a suit kinda guy and do not own that many since my job does not call for dressing up.

Last time I wore a suit was at my Masters graduation in 2007.

So what is the proper attire to attend a small wedding (just a church service and dinner) with less than 50 people?

Open to ideas from my BGOL GQ fam

A logo showing on your tie is not a good look.

Re: GQing yourself

nice watch

Re: GQing yourself

Go big or go home.

your watch is suppose to accent not distract. that is why you should save the large watches and the chronographs for more casual days. just my opinion on the subject...

I c/s doggish on this. For whatever reason, over the the years it seems like more and more men are rockin' 44cm+ watch sizes with EVERYTHING. Everyone and their mother is rocking a Panrerai or the like. I'm not hating, cause I sure as hell couldn't swing one right now, but I just think some of the great brands out there are kind of getting played out(that's a different story).

Anyways, I feel that a nice suite should be complimented by an elegant understated timepiece IMO. The big watches have their place.

Man.. give me a simple Patek Philippe...

A sportcoat, at least.. with or w/o a tie is optional..

nice watch

Can't tell for sure, from the pic, but if that bottom vest button is buttoned? never! Also if you're starting to buy, I'd leave the 3-button suits alone. They look too late 90s-ish...it's all DBs and 2-buttons, now.

If ya COMPLEMENT ya nice suit with a nice watch you'll get COMPLIMENTS.................jus fuccin witcha

I feel ya on the Patek...Just one of them is sometimes worth more than every other ninja's watch, in the club..

Lotta bruthas wouldn't rock em cuz they're not big and blingy...

Panerai's are $8,000 watches on average.

I was watching Beverly Hill Cops and I liked the fact majority of the fella's were rocking 3 pieces. I feel like 3 piece suits, I feel it brings a extra flair of class and sophisication. I also read 3 piece went out of style mainly because average folks couldn't afford them after WW II so I'm bringing that shit back.

Re: GQing yourself

ok enough of the 4 button churchsuits and big watches...

Re: GQing yourself

i think patek phillipe start at 5 figures on price (20,000+)
im not sure ive seen one priced lower than $10,000. they make some of the most complicated in the world
those are complicated timepieces LMAO the average person shouldnt even look at those watches unless you're also wearing tom ford suits and custom hand made shoes and money is no object

i appreciate a nice "simple" watch though.....

He isnt talking about the 3piece suit. He is talking about the 3button suit. Meaning the 3button jacket. You're a taller guy so it works for you in my opinion.

Yeah, 3-buttons..

Trust me! Men's fashion moves so slow it's almost stationary. So, it's not a big deal if ya wear a 2 or 3 button, but 3 buttons were the shit in the mid to late 90's..Now?

That's why I was saying if you're just getting into buying suits, I'd consider a DB or 2 button.
