Looking for pants for thiccc booty

I have an an issue, that most pants don't really fit me and I am looking for a company that produces some that might do. Most pants I can get are too tight around the legs and the booty and are too loose at the stomach. My measurements (if useful to you) are 60cm legs / 82cm stomach / 102cms booty....

Shops in and around Dublin, Ireland

I’m in Dublin for a week (next week, to be precise) and aside from sightseeing, I’d like to explore what Irish menswear has to offer. I’m interested in local artisanal work, leaning on the side of traditional menswear — Donegal tweeds, Aran knits and such. Any shop recommendations from local and/or knowledgeable enthusiasts would be very appreciated! 🙏 🤠...

Sweater sizing over a shirt

Hey guys, sizing question. My chest is 40" and I wear Contemporary 16-33 in Spier Mackay shirts. My question is, what chest size would you get in Shetland sweaters to be able to wear them nicely over a shirt? If my shirt is a 22" half chest, would you go 23" on the sweater, or more? Also, do you size your sweaters differently for wearing over a shirt vs. over a more fitted t-shirt? (like, size up for wearing over a shirt) Thanks!...

Black Overcoats

I know thrifting. But what about new? Black overcoat, should hit below my knees, ideally has some type of interesting detail, and should be made of wool if possible. I'm asking for cool stuff and inspo as much as for myself so no budget, though if its less than $1000 that's a plus. Y'all know my style and ideally this is congruent....

Saved eBay searches for chinos/trousers

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get some new pants, I'm more into prep style fashion, so the brands I like are stuff like Spier and Mackay, J. Crew, LL Bean, etc. Does anyone have any saved eBay searches for Chinos, trousers, etc? The PTO search for contemporary casualwear seems like my best bet, currently....

Brands that make extra slim/athletic fit dress shirts

I’m looking for Oxford shirts that fit me well and don’t look like I have a parachute coming out of my pants. I have a 46” chest and a 32” waist. Do any brands have sizing like this off the rack or do I need to get buy a shirt made to measure/get a tailor.

Help me figure out outerwear

Hey all, I've been trying to put more effort into my clothes for a short while now, one area that I've not expanded into so far is outerwear. I've gotten by with a utilitarian rain coat and a black kinda bomber-adjacent jacket. I'm trying to look around for more varieties that I have in my head, but I'm just really struggling with the language and categorizations of things, so I even know what to ask about or google search for. Any advice for learning how to talk about this stuff? In particular I've been looking for something lighter weight to wear over a top or maybe a sweater (ref pics 1-2), and some longer options that go past my waist (ref pics 3-5, something potentially a little smoother/lighter weight than those as well). the ref pics are just yoinked from WAYWT to give a vague reference of what's in my head....

Trouser recommendations?

I’m looking for some trousers that I can wear as everyday work pants. I think a wool blend would be ideal so I can wash them and having a small amount of stretch is nice. I found this pair at jcrew, fits the right aesthetic but the leg opening on these is super wide 16.5” and will look way too large as I am shorter. A slim or slightly tapered fit would be preferred. I’ve looked at spier Mackey but I’m afraid the high rise will not look right at my height and they’re frequently out of stock....

Recommendations to soften hair

I have hair that refuses to bend. It simply grows up and resembles a llama, an Afro, or a porcupine, to give you a mental picture. Are there any products that can help “soften” my hair over an extended period? For the longest time, I’ve been getting buzz cuts and keeping my hair short. However, I’ve always wanted to adopt this style of hair (see the picture), and I’m wondering if it’s even feasible.

how do you style sweatpants?

at least in a way that doesn’t say “i really could care less about fashion.” it hit me like a truck when i was dressing for comfort in the airport the day i flew back home from atlanta, what the lady at the reception desk at my hotel said when i was checking out, how i suddenly looked “normal.” i knew she didn’t mean it like an insult but it stuck with me so much because i knew how often it is that athleisure devolves into sweatpants-t-shirt-runners and it kind of made me feel like what tiny attempt i’d made to actually style my pants had completely died in the water. this was after spending all week dressing like my #waywt greatest hits, so she knew i have a sense of what makes me me. y’all know me well enough by now i think. i angle for the skater and the rocker vibes, with a touch of gorp and a fistful of whimsy. if i need to post my particular pair i can, just holler....

Spier & Mackay Red Label vs. Core Suit

Hello, looking to buy my first suit, and I’m wondering if it’s worth spending an extra ~$100 on their Core suit. I won’t need to wear it more than 5 times a year. The only differences I could see from their descriptions was that the core suit has Australian wool, super 110s, and Bemberg lining. Also, there is a Red Label suit on final sale for $175 - would it be crazy to get that? I can afford any of these options, just want to get a feel if it would be worth it for how much I would wear it. Thanks! For reference, this is the core suit ($390) at checkout): https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy-suit-8799 Red Label ($280 at checkout): https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy-suit-9697-ns01-9705-nt01-mx...
