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...

Looking for light-colored *raw* selvedge jeans

I know N&F has had light raw jeans in the past, and Kato has an "old blue" raw that I've been eyeing, but I'm looking for more recs

How wearable is a suit like this

This will be for Christmas parties, weddings etc where I can try more fun things. I already have a navy suit for "formal" occasions, but I don't like its overly slim silhouette, so I want a more relaxed cut suit. I'll take any tips for finding/shopping for suits online too....

Belt or no belt with high waisted pants?

If belt, any guidance on width and sizing vs your normal waist size?

Bought an orvis barn jacket, curious about fit?

Looks like it's one of their discontinued items, got it NWT, it's a medium, I'm usually hovering around M or L, not sure how the fit is or if it's a good look please let me know!!!

What are some companies (new or vintage) that have great contemporary wool coats?

What are some companies (new or vintage) that have great contemporary wool coats? heavy, for winter, lots of flow due to thick wool. Looking for something that will hang slim, but has a baggy fit. Seems like some Acne stuff, but hard to find. Yohji Yamamoto, etc. Looking to be able to wear it casually with some streetware, or dress up with some slim fitting cashmere and still let it flow to create an edgier look. (Black, exclusively).

What shirt to use.

Tomorrow I've got an important meeting... I'm seeing a teacher to get an idea of progress so far at uni. I've been thinking about what shirt to wear out of these 2 alongside some smart trousers, they're both Burberry. What would look the best for this occasion?...

Advice on shopping on RealReal

I recently came across shops like Yook and RealReal and was intruiged by the possibility of finding good garments for cheap. I've been looking around in RealReal a bit now and found some items that I liked, all under 40$ each. Shipping to Europe is 50$.. yikes, but I have a 25$ discount code and the price of the items makes it worth it to me. I want to ask about authenticity mainly, on this site. Are there many fakes, and if so, what preventative measures can I take? I also know sizing can be way off, but I'm willing to take that risk as I figure I can resell the items if the don't fit (they're final sale so no returns). I'd love some input as I plan to soon place my first order!...

Chino color opinions?

I usually wear raw denim but I'd also like some chinos for slightly more formal events as well as for transitioning into and from summer. What kind of colors work best? I will be styling them primarily with navy/black tee shirts but sometimes cream/white/baby blue tees. Haven't gotten any OCBDs yet. Idk if navy would be too bland with also navy shirts. Does khaki or tan work well with darker tops too? How about white or light cream? Should chinos have any sheen on them? I've basically been wearing jeans all my life so I'd like a bit of advice on styling them. Any other advice for rocking chinos? Opinions on going with linen? How to layer for interesting textures, especially in slightly warm temperatures?...

Reccomendations for styling a stocky build?

Often get told I have a stocky rugby player build by relatives and my dads work friends because i have big shoulders/arms and im a tad chubby. Have always thought my fashion sense was lacking a lot but I'm not sure what would look good on me and too scared to be aimlessly trying on clothes alone in a store. Usually I wear just a hoodie or polo and black jeans. Looking for affordable fashion with a budget of about $300. Also round or square framed glasses for my facial structure?

Alternatives to Uniqlo U long-sleeve tees

Hey ! I'm looking to grab a few more thick long sleeve t-shirts, but I'm disappointed to see that Uniqlo have decided to discontinue these from their U line. I've found a still live listing on their Thailand website as an example [UK based]: ...

Undershirt colours

What do you do for undershirt colours? I usually wear white because it is simple and helps most shirts that I would open to reveal an undershirt pop, but I have been considering some other coloured undershirts to build into outfits. This has included going for black to match with black jeans and make a shirt stand out more, or getting a dark green undershirt to give festive vibes to a dark coloured top. Bonus points for any advice on when to choose an off white under over a white under shirt....

Should I complete the Corduroy fit with a corduroy bag?

I’ve collected enough corduroy pieces to have a full corduroy outfit. But now I wonder if I should maybe get a matching bag as well. Any thoughts? I’ve added a few different examples of the fits, and with my uniqlo bag for reference, and some potential options for corduroy bags. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Belt?no belt?

Needing some quick feedback on if this looks better with a belt or without? It has belt loops so I was thinking probably needs a belt but my wife was telling me she likes it without the belt so I’m torn.

why does this jacket flare out so much?

So I’ve been eyeing this ami Paris jacket for like maybe a year I finally bought it but it flares out so much which I don’t like it was described as a unisex jacket so was the cut of the jacket more meant for women than men? Just curious as to why it flared out so much.
