Smart winter coat for 5’8” slim guy

I’m looking for a nice winter coat that’ll look good with my height and body type. Typically I don’t like longer coats that cover part of my legs (I guess I need to make my legs more visible to look in proportion). I have an old winter coat in my wardrobe that I think is a double-breasted pea coat. I like the style in general but the jacket seems quite boxy on me and I don’t like the collar. I’d prefer a single-breasted jacket at a decent length that sits about suit jacket height or just higher. Any recommendations for search terms, and other styles of jacket that might suit me in a similar vein?...

Heritage / BIFL / Iconic Resources

Looking for resources on finding iconic staples and brands for purchase? Think of ones like the Redwing Iron Ranger, Barbour Beufort, Baracuta G9, etc I'm looking for pieces that defined a clothing style / are durable / repairable that I can hopefully pass down to my kids. Open to buying new or used, but is there a website that collects / groups information on pieces like this?...

Experience with Rustic Dime (Canvas Chinos)

I was looking up some canvas pants today and I came across the Rustic Dime website. I remember seeing them a few months ago but I haven't seen them discussed that much on here or the subreddit. Does anyone have experience with this brand or their canvas chinos? (https://www.onedimetime.com/products/tobacco-canvas-workwear-chino?variant=42344757100735)...

Legit check: comme des garsons play t-shirt.

So no, I haven't ordered any more clothing since yesterday (https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1255197478312087672/1297597708973899817), but I did receive some stuff from Vinted, including this comme des garsons play t-shirt. I paid £10 for it (plus a bit more for buyer protection and shipping) and I want to check to see if it's legit.

Limited wardrobe college fit check

Hey all, I'm new to dressing well and I'm just starting to expand my wardrobe to include stuff other than sweatpants and jeans. This picture is the outfit I'm wearing today, and I can't tell if it's fine or if there's something kinda off about the way it fits or works together. I'd appreciate any advice on these items and how they mesh, or what I could replace to make the look better overall. (For shoes, I just have a basic pair of Nike sneakers that I wear most of the time)...

Good Value Jeans

As the title suggests, I’m not in the denim rabbit hole (meaning I don’t care for selvedge denim I just want good denim near the 100% cotton mark), I’m simply a college student looking to get basics preferably around the $200 mark per pair, hopefully a bit under that haha The fit that I like is a loose straight fit, but many of the loose fits I’ve seen are super wide around thighs and taper down so they look funny. I’ve tried 501’s and they are too tight if I want them to fit well around my waist. (29,32). I’ve got a skinny waist but thicker legs....

guess who got MISO SOUP ON THEIR PANTSSSSS do i need to take any specific stain remover to these like my spray bottle of shout or will it be fine if i just chuck it in the washer with the rest of the load and pray?...

Verdigris on boots - solution?

Hey all. A couple of my (well worn) Red Wings have some verdigris on the eyelets, from where the metal has oxidised - pic attached of one , although I think my other pair is a bit worse. Any ideas on the best way to get rid of it? I tried before with a toothbrush/toothpick combo but I found the process really maddening 😭...

Jackets for Giraffes

I'm looking for a jacket that fits me, I'm 6'6" so this is hard, especially since my chest is only about 44" despite a 38" sleeve. Trying to have the following traits: Looks reasonable inside or outside. Mostly for wearing at work so something vaguely business casual, I'm willing to accept anything above street wear and below a suit. Not more than... $300? I move around in the US southwest (TX, NM, NV) where there isn't "real" winters but it can get cold near winter and in offices, not looking for anything super heavy....
