Building My Wardrobe From Scratch Post Weight-Loss

[lordsuperb]

what a time to be alive when university students have the budget for drake's and private white vc

I remember seeing the ben silver catalog in college and almost had a heart attack over the prices. Fast forward 20 years later and I don’t even think twice about it.

Quick update:

Drake’s OCBDs just arrived and I’m pretty happy with them overall, though they run a little tight in the shoulder (which I knew to expect).

Quality wise construction is solid though anyone buying them should know that the fabric is more of a mid-lighter weight than what I’d personally consider a classic oxford cloth. Also, minor pet peeve but the MOP buttons are a little thin and not as substantial as I generally prefer.

Not bad by any means for ~£150 each as a bundle of 3, but I’ll definitely be eager to try other options in the future too.

I also received a PWVC brown moleskin blouson and PS collaboration wax walker.

Very happy with the quality on both, absolutely top notch. Only complaint here is that the sleeves on the wax walker run slightly long for me and there isn’t much room to shorten them, given the functional button adjuster above the cuff. No big deal though, I imagine the longer sleeve is a plus for warmth and water resistance when the jacket is used for it’s designed purpose.

Will definitely be buying more from this brand, and visiting their factory next time I’m in Manchester!
