Re: GQing yourself

www.astorandblack.com
Is anyone familiar w/ astor and black custom clothiers?
I just came across an advertisement and the prices seem right if quality is there.
I'm going to test the waters with a few shirts and ties and will give a update.
 
Re: GQing yourself

im trying to G.Q. myself by starting off by straying away from chopper suit like suits, so im kinda getting into wing-tip shoes and ascot's instead of reg old tie's, and working with diff color scheme's like browns and grey's. I will get pics of the shoes up lata but if any body know a good place for some wing-tips help they hard to find and expensive. thanks GQ brothas:cool:

Re: GQing yourself

Just wanna say/co-sign

Don't buy cheap ass shoes it is a waste of money, unless you are out of town and forgot your shoes or something special case...

For example you buy Stacy Adams or whatever for $30-40 after you wear them 5 times they look like you had them a year...trust me get a nice pair of Kenneth Cole or Cole Hahn moderate priced stuff or on sale if you got a couple hundo

I'm wearing a pinstripe grey and white suit,white shirt and matching ascot. feedback homies
 
Re: GQing yourself

I hear that ascots have an "old man" (50+) stigma. I don't have any, but I would like to include some in my wardrobe.

i dont know about too much on ascot's but my idol huey hef rocks them and pulls them off nice, but it definetly is working its way in my suited wardrobe. expecially since there's like 5 diff ways to tie them
 
Re: GQing yourself

On Dhani Jones tackles the Globe (England), he made a visit to a tailor who fitted him with a black sport jacket, a white or light lavendar shirt and slacks or jeans (can't remember). The look was very stylish and not over done :yes: I think it is shown during the opening credits. Can someone post of picture of it?

Re: GQing yourself

No its not top notch and i hate their shirts...Most black brothers (Esp them Nigerians) love TM LEWIN shirts...I hate their fabrics...yes they might look good on picture but I really dont feel their cotton

But if you are on budget then its cool to buy some....
If I'm on budget then this is always my rescue:

Otherwise MARK MARENGO is the way to go even though they've become slightly expensive last couple of months


what about http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/ how good are their shirts?

Ya it's a lotta hipster doofus shit niggas just posted. You can go GQ w/o wearing them tight ass jeans. But it's a lot of A to Z niggas out there that figure it has to be sagging or extremely tight. A lot of these outfits would look a whole lot more decent in regular fitted shit. And these paperbag shoes are fucking ugly.

This woulda been a good look w/ some NORMAL jeans and a sports jacket w/ the same color instead of the coat imo.

Re: GQing yourself

Has anyone been to BROOKLYN CIRCUS shop

whats your opinion?

brooklyn circus is that shit. definitely go and support. black owned and all that. the nigga who owns it is a lil dude with a beard - cool as fuck.

support black business.

as far as branding goes - a lot of the pics on here are coming from the bkcircus blog and their press pics. they stay on that gentleman/prep with an ever so slight hint of urban. it's a good classic look. i fux with it.

I'll go get a t shirt from Brooklyn circus. I'll also hit the Bbraxton Men's grooming shop in Harlem. I can't buy preppy clothes from an urban store. I keep Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers in business.
