gifted black shirt - howto help

Hi, I got gifted a decent black shirt but no receipt for return or exchange. I attached a pic of it, and I can get it tailored to fit better. I read that keeping it casual is easier to make it work, but what options should I look at to salvage fits with it?...

Corduroy pants

Any recommendations for traditional, full-cut corduroy pants? A lot of corduroys I find are too slim. USA, price range under $120 on eBay, fine with buying used....

Suit Fit Check + Gala Questions

Hey ya’ll, My work is making me attend a gala event to celebrate an anniversary for a well known charity. The dress code is semi-formal to formal, with a mixed demographic of ultra wealthy to middle class. Would this current suit configuration be appropriate for such an event? As it stands I don’t have much in terms of formal wear to play with. A lot of my clothes no longer fit me, as I haven’t had to wear formal clothing since pre-covid and I went from being obese to somewhat in shape again. For my work it’s very rare that I need to wear suits, as we mostly work on outdoor projects (experiential marketing). ...

Suggestions on Wedding Attire to match these flared suit pants?

Going to a black tie optional wedding and don’t want to wear a plain tuxedo. Looking for suggestions on blazers and or shirts to match these pants. I don’t wanna be too flashy as the pants are flashy enough, I just want to wear something different from the norm. Furthermore, do we think these can work in a wedding style attire? Or should I just go with a traditional style tuxedo....

custom brown leather shoes

Ideally paired with both brown and maroon/burgundy trousers, capable of being worn in somewhat formal like work or nice events (paired here with maroon/burgundy suit) but that i can get away with as generally stylish. Not overdesigned (been warned about brogues). All help appreciated

Suit Questions

I'm going to be a groomsman for my friends upcoming wedding and need to purchase a quality suit. Both he and my friend went down to SLC to the StateAndLiberty location down there and picked out suits and tailored them. I have a chance to go down this weekend and do the same but I was curious... Could I buy something like the Awearness Kenneth Cole CHILLFLEX Slim Fit Suit with my dimensions (I generally know my jacket size (40) and my pants are 33x30) and get a suit that's similar quality? It seems StateandLiberty is more for larger/athletic builds and I'm fairly average in build, 5'11"/175 and if I purchased from menswarehouse would that suit be adequate? I'd save around $100 or more and wouldn't need to spend hours traveling with him down to SLC. Just trying to figure out quality and not spend a fortune since I'll only wear this outfit on special occasions....

What brand is this? Purchased in Canada but don't remember where.

It's a reversible belt, I liked the colour but it's becoming too big for me. The style code points to Haggard but the branding doesn't seem right. 11HH010002.

down recs

Where would you look for a down jacket? Thinking vintage is the way to not invest too much money. on my list so far is vintage Eddie Bauer and Woolrich but Eddie Bauer seems to have better designs for down. Also would you prefer a shorter or longer jacket? Thank you!

Tuxedo Advice

With university rearing its ugly head once more, I’m considering my options for my formals. They’re black tie and last year I simply borrowed my Dad’s tux. Wanting my own this year. Trying to decide what style/cut. I’m 6’1, slender. Generally I prefer double breasted as I feel it accentuates my figure more but unsure if it’s better just to go traditional. Likely buying from ebay/depop etc. Thoughts?

Too skinny?

These are Levi’s XX tapered cords. The fit feels a little…dated? I think they’re more slim then skinny, but just looking for overall feedback on how they look. I’m probably overthinking it. Excuse my toilet....

What's going on with the lapel on this jacket?

I think there's a button on the back of the notch lapel on the other side, corresponding to this button flap. Is there a name for this flap style lapel? I can't find another example of it. What does it evoke to you? It seems super casual, but does it seem gimmicky or overly weird or dated to a specific era or anything?

ID on Vintage Shirt Maker

Hi, I found this very cool, very soft, probably very old t-shirt but cannot distinguish the maker from the tag. Google Glass is inconclusive, and while I can make out the red script saying "Best Quality", I cannot read ot recognize the logo other than its similarity to Chevrolet. Any ideas, so I can try to source more?

How we feelin about this one fellas? (Flight jacket yay or nays)

I picked up this G-1 avirex jacket on a whim, mostly cause it was pretty cheap, but now I'm trying it on I'm really not sure if I'm feeling it. Not sure if it's too big, just not my style, or if it just veers a bit close to top gun cosplay. Thoughts appreciated!
