Who sells this? Looks like the stuff I saw in Europe.
 
Re: GQing yourself

They do as far as style and fashion. But for quality, good luck. You get what u pay for.

I agree, quality ... not so much. I need a white shirt for cheap cause I spilled coffee on my shit ... :yes:.

I need a cheap sweater cause the weather changed ... :yes:

I need a cheap blazer just because .... :smh: don't even think about it. :smh:

Cheap pair of pants cause I my outerseam got caught in by a nail (true story) ... :yes:

Key word is inexpensive and trendy. Sizes run small so try before you buy.
 
Re: GQing yourself

the pants are too tight , the wrist on the jacket are too short and there is too much space in the jacket when its buttoned. Return it

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.


And get some lace ups.




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

Re: GQing yourself

Dress pants - Is it okay if they have a cuff at the bottom?
I would go without. Especially if you are 5'10" and under.

4North1Side2 shit might not work out for you with those pictures man
He's straight. He's posted his shit before. Dude is good peeps...didnt know he changed his name. It use to be something else.

Its a slim cut fit. Pants are a little snug in the thigh area and high in the inseam but overall ok if thats the look he wants. Im cool with the jacket that length as well but only if he wears a dress shirt under. If he is going casual like that then he needs a Long (this would also address the inseam of the pants) as he apparently is about 6'1" or so with what looks like relatively long reach.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Alright you guys were absolutely right, jacket to small. I took the time to take a real good look at it today and came out severly disappointed because I wanted it to work out bad.

I took it back and associate said it would be best if I copped a 50L but they don't carry that. The closest that they had was a 48R. The tailor is out on vacation...it still creased in the middle tho creating a huge space... I'm thinking it's a material problem. The suit is made out of rayon and polyester.

Dudes are saying that those type of suits are horrible for longetivity and become worn out after a few uses...bummer.

Thanks for the critque/advice guys.

Man, no way in fuck you need a 50. That sales associate doesnt have a fucking clue. You need to go somewhere where they can measure you appropriately for a suit bro. Creasing in the middle isnt a sign that one needs to go UP in suit size.

naw fam if he sits too fast those pants gonna rip, and the length of the pants could be half a inch to a inch longer. The jacket length is fine but the length of the arms is above his wrist it should be longer. its just a bad suit he needs to return it
 
Re: GQing yourself

Anyone got any tips on buying and wearing Fedoras? I'm looking to rock a Fedora with my suits because I walk to work often.


Thanks

If he's foolish enough to sit with his suit jacket buttoned then he needs to have his buttons popped. And i agree as shown, the sleeves are too short but with a dress shirt they wouldnt appear so (which is why i asked how he intended to wear it earlier) but overall i think he needs a L. But you cannot tell me that he needs to go up 3 whole sizes in that suit or that a man of that build wears a size 50. And the length of the pants are a matter of choice. Some people prefer two breaks, some prefer one (me) and some prefer no break with the pant barely touching the top of shoe.
 
Re: GQing yourself

SpiderMan, jokes all good, but did you have to quote the pics again? The page is long enough bro.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Going to a retirement party in mid-July. Cousin is coming out the Navy. Don't want to rock a jacket because of the heat. I'm thinking light colors. Short sleeve shirt with light slacks. Not sure of a shoe - loafers, maybe?

Any ideas?

Thanks

depends if it is casual or formal wear attire required. if it is casual attire then you have more options to choose from such as using light summer colors as well as material. i'll let other members chime in before i add some.

here's some shoes to get you started

Honestly, there is nothing better than having a suit custom-made for you. Indochino is definitely an innovator in the online menswear market and there suit are top-notch.
