Winter Coat Recommendations

Need some advice on winter coats. I want something a little more nice looking than just your regular department store winter coat from North Face/Columbia/etc and I think I want a parka, but they seem to be for the very cold weather? I used to wear just a regular insulated winter coat from North Face in weather from the mid 40s to under 0 F. Would a parka really be bad for temperatures in that wide range?

suit brands that might match this inspo pic

hi all, using an upcoming wedding as an excuse to maybe buy another suit. love the relaxed fit and soft beige-brown color of the suit in this pic. the closest match i've found is a j crew wool tweed suit — did take a look at spier & mackay, suitsupply, and a few other places — but curious if you guys had other recommendations of brands that might approach this look. (also, very infrequent user of this discord, if there's a channel i should post this in lmk.)

Suit Feedback and Questions (Tie advice)

Hey folks, few questions here. I know I need my pants adjusted, but how can I tell if I need the top? Is there a good video that I can reference to tell if the arm length is good, etc? In the second pic I have my arms back to show the way that the suit bends on the V when done up. I thought this was probably fine, but wanted to check....

something seems off about my outfit

https://imgur.com/a/outfit-XRRNT9v I wore this yesterday to dinner but it just seems off. I’m new to the community and trying to dress better. Opinions?...

Most comfortable button down?

I am looking to dress a little nicer than graphic tee and sneakers, as I'm sure most of us here are. However whenever I try on a button down I look like a 12 year old at Easter. It's too stiff and starchy and wrinkly to look casual and is not comfortable at all. I would love for something like a flannel that is a solid color but not too warm so I can wear it any time of the year, yet I haven't found much that match this....

Tell me if this is good or not

Going to a party tonight and trying to be creative with the fit, but I'm on the fence. I welcome all input, theres still time to switch it up.

Help me Assess What KnockouT pieces i shoUld look for this upcoming fAll and winter season :) H

Hi! Over the summer I sort've hit a bigger style shift and now that it's cooling down I have the opportunity to try and figure out what to build for light -> heavy outwear to compliment my current direction. I've attached some one layer fits that have long pants on but ya, would love input on shapes, colors, brands, ideas, anything really....

Spouse says this sport coat is too tight on me?

What do you guys think? She thinks it shouldn't pucker around the button and that it should lay flatter in the back? I thought it fit well but I don't know.

help with blazers?

I've always been too intimidated to purchase a blazer. There's so many "rules" out there about what makes a good blazer that I'm paralyzed by it. I feel like unless I'm spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars, any blazer I buy will look cheap to the wrong people. See pictures. I found this $100 blazer at a retailer. I really liked the pattern and fit. The sleeves were a little loose but I figure I could get that tailored. My intention is to wear it very casually with a black tee or turtleneck and some black jeans over winter....

Number (n)ine jacket - what do I call this?

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this number (n)ine denim sherpa jacket since I saw it like a year ago but there's no way I'm fitting into it anymore. I'm assuming it's kinda just a quirked up version of something I could get vintage from levis/wrangler/etc, I just can't figure out what to call it to search for. Anyone got any ideas? https://www.grailed.com/listings/64925641-number-n-ine-aw07-sherpa-denim-jacket

looking for a wedding (guest) blazer in italy

my aunty is getting married in a week in Italy and I need to buy a blazer while I'm there for the wedding. I'm looking at ideally a navy blazer with a budget of a few hundred euro. any recommendations or advice?

Recommend an athletic shoe that doesn't look athletic.

I'm looking for shoes that I can walk, sprint, and climb in, but also don't look like sneakers. During the day I typically visit the office, play with kids, and walk 5 miles. Dress shoes aren't built for the amount of moving I do, but sneakers aren't my style and are too casual in some situations. Most athletic-dress shoe hybrids also look very bad imo. Are there any shoes out there which have all the functions of an athletic shoe but have a stylish look to them?...

Orslow 105 v 105z

Anyone know what the difference between Orslow 105 and 105z is? I can't seem to find anything online about the z

Cord trouser recs

Looking for flat front mid-high to high rise regular (wide-ish to wide), straight leg mid brown corduroy trousers. Five pockets or standard trousers are fine. Looking for workwear adjacent. Double knees would be incredible but not holding my breath. I want to make a diy pair of these distressed rrl's without paying rrl prices. So Andrew is no good. A flat n' wide prl pattern would be great. Something that's widely available second hand would be ideal but open to anything.

Carhartt WIP double knee (alternatives)

Hi, I’m looking for alternatives to the Carhartt WIP double knee pants. The rivets on the front are what I’m looking for. The problem is that they are $200 CAD and I can’t try them on before I buy them. I like the pants in black and white, and I would like them to be straight fit. (Mainly I don’t want them to be really loose and baggy, like the normal Carhartt pants feel). If anyone has recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it.

Tobi pants

Bought a pair of Toraichi Tobi pants. They look decent with a couple shirts but I'm looking for more style ideas with longer sleeve shirts as the weather is starting to get cooler
