    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    This is a misrepresentation of NYC, given that a couple months ago at The Met for the Harlem Renaissance show, I entered just behind: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/appraisers/nicholas-d-lowry/ Much to the chagrin of both my sister and mom, no selfies were sought given that it appeared he...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    The Coen Brothers' line from O Brother Where Art Thou sprang to mind - "....Well aint this place a geographical oddity!" Singapore was a British colony - it is at the end of the Malaysia peninsula. Rubber was probably the first commodity that moved through there

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I spent 5ish days in Singapore the December before last, and the wind blew, never. It was like being in the trunk of a car in DC in June with a half dozen soaked towels.

    Which style of tailoring would you recommend for some who is short and Slim?

    Just find what resonates with you. My take is that the classic stuff is classic because it works on damn near everyone - perhaps on someone 4 foot or 7 foot something, the ratios for button placement on a two button suit or a 3r2 sport coat might start to look odd.

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    I don't think there are any real rules here. Belt loops are probably more traditional in the US, and give you the chance to accessorize with a belt, for better or worse (if you buy a pair of tan loafers, you may feel compelled to buy a tan belt...)

    That generally implies a lack of room. It may be too small of a size, or fundamentally, too small in the chest as cut, for your build.

    Help Identifying These Boots

    They appear to be both laced and have a side zip. No idea on the maker, but the side zip detail may be a starting point

    Wedding suit advice… with a twist. Winter in the English countryside

    If you were to do something like a brown donegal suit, the coat and trousers could be worn on their own - think of the trousers with a cream Aran sweater.

    Advice on where to begin

    How well does RTW stuff fit you? A 42 coat and a 33 trouser would imply a 9 inch drop, which may be hard to do in RTW - the trousers may need to come in substantially. You may be wanting to do something MTM - No Man Walks Alone might be a bit higher than you are looking to spend, but will come...

    You could attempt to remediate this by petitioning your government to cease competing in speed skating and to dispose of any of those Bruegel, etc winter landscapes with ice skaters

    I think I wear pink more in FW than SS, so my linen stuff tends to be blues and whites. Have some more saturated chambrays beyond the staple sky blue stuff. I don't own a white oxford, I don't think - Boston winters tend to be so dark, I tend to reach for color in the winter.

    That is somewhat dated. Brown oxfords are becoming increasingly arcane - young d00ds starting out would be far, far better off with black captoes, and beyond that, some rotation of loafers/derbies/chukkas/Chelseas for the increasingly non-suited world we live in. If someone was starting over...
