Ok this is the BB Madison cut in 46R
Sleeves are a bit long
Otherwise I think ok?
You gotta stand natural as possible
I already left
arms down and have the phone on a surface with self timer when you take a picture or have someone else take it
Rip
A 48 was too big
Also tried the regent cut
We’ll never know
That’s Madison first
Regent second
The regent is not good I think
First is better. Less pulling on the button
Agreed
That’s the Madison
You’re a broad dude - you might just have to try a few different places. Seems like the Madison fits you better in the chest and waist but the super low arm holes are doing you any favors.
Idk if Spier makes a 48 but might be worth checking.
they don't have a ton of time to look
Ah missed that
wedding in a month or less now
so with alterations and buying second hand the timing is tight
J crew’s classic fit (or relaxed fit) might be a good bet
Oh damn
I asked if I should go try jcrew and they said no lol
I was right next to one today
More than bb regent?
Hahaha. It’s not the first place I’d suggest but in a pinch everything is worth checking.
Pretty sure Jcrew cut is tighter than BB
Regent is actually fairly slim (I think it was slimmer that the old fitz cut). The classic fit has fairly broad shoulders which may work well for him.
This was also at an outlet store, idk if the fits are exact same
Should be right?
Oops I meant Madison not regent
Yeah they generally are. J crew has some newer cuts that are more relaxed (I think classic is their middle of the road and relaxed is new for this season but not sure if they have the relaxed in worsted wools)
Hm
Let me see maybe I can measure something off online
I really need to get something ordered
Let me look at Jcrew real quick
Keep the Madison as your fall back option - it’s not bad by any means
Is it the ludlow
No thst a slim fit, Crosby?
I see Crosby is the middle one and kenmare is relaxed
Not many options in the kenmare
Anyway, what’s wrong with the Bb one
Sleeves can be tailored right?
Pants were quite baggy in the seat
And long
I didn’t get a pic but it needs something for sure
I just checked and all the classic/relaxed stuff is tweed or cotton so probably a no go for you
Yeah that won’t work
Also trying to buy secondhand
Nothing was wrong with the BB one just some room for improvement
Well what would the improvements be
You said something about the arm holes
Nit picking. I didn’t realize you had a time constraint - missed that very important bit of info
lol I mean if it looks bad it looks bad
No no no definitely not
Sleeves are fixable?
Definitely too long
Definitely - that’s easy
But I won’t find a suit with my sleeve length in a 46
I’m a 32/33
Go with the Madison - you’ll look great!
If you think so
Where’s a good place to buy?
eBay? Poshmark?
Either - throw in etsy for good measure.
Look for something with the 1818 label as that’ll be the closest style/fit wise as to what you tried on
That’s the good quality one right?
Canvassed
Yeah. Label will look something like this

There’s this but idk how big the pants are
Can’t find it at all
What’s a wool flannel?
It’s kind of soft/fuzzy like a flannel shirt but intended for cooler temps. Great option
Ahh
Well it’s for a wedding
Idk what’s appropriate
But this says 46R/W41
What’s the W
You’ll be fine with flannel imo. BB pants are generally 6 sizes smaller than the jacket so a 40 tagged size
I’m a 40 pant
40/28
I’ll need to get it hemmed I’m sure
W = waist. Most folks on eBay will go by actual measurement instead of tag size. There’s something called vanity sizing where the pants actually measure larger than the tag says
Is there a way to tell if that’s a 40 in pant size
Because that’s the size I tried on
The seat was baggy though so
Is that cheap to tailor to fix?
Depends on how you define cheap. I’d say expect to pay 30-40 for the sleeves and 20-40 for the waist
For the waist?
What do you mean
Tbh I’m also not adverse to doing the tailoring myself
I can sew, would need to learn how to do it for suits though
That listing for $175 might be the way to go
It says inseam Is 27
Does that mean it’s a 40/27
How can I tell if anything was tailored previously
You’d have to ask but odds are they won’t know
To fix the seat I mean
Oh that’s not bad then
They measured everything @LeisurelyLoafing
This store seems good on eBay
Very thorough
I’m trying to find the original BB suit measurements but I can’t lol
Should I go with a white shirt?
you cant go wrong with a white poplin shirt
Where can I get a decent one
Jsut anywhere?
u wanna know your neck and arms measurement
just go to brooks store
ask an associate to measure u and grab one
they have roomy cut there
17.5 32/33
I know
I just need to buy one somewhere
Is it worth buying secondhand for a shirt
Prob a regent or madison
It depends
Sometimes they shrink
Hm
It your wedding lol, u wanna try on, make sure it fit then buy
Blind buy is a tad dangerous when you are this close to your wedding day imo
Its not my wedding
lol
It’s not his wedding, buying for collar size in a relaxed fit and getting the sleeves taken up is safe imo
Oh it not yours?
Sisters
I am in the wedding though
I’m the ring bearer
Blame my sleepless night with the baby
But brook bro for shirts
It seems u can get to the store
The shirt did fit well
Madison cut I recall is most roomy
I’m not spending $200 though for a shirt
The shirt I fit in was the regent actually
U have a charles tyrwhitt nearby?
Madison was too big
Don’t think so
This was at the outlet
Disregard the price
Charles tyrwhitt u can get a buy 3 for 99
Not bad
I can check online
U prob fit in with their slim
Not the extra slim, slim one
I think
Yeah I’m not really fat in I don’t have a belly
Im a rectangle
Shiet or just grab 3 white shirts in different cut
Not a wider belly
At most u out 67 bucks lol
That’s it?
U prob can return for exchange too
What do you mean?
Is this a sale
I dint see it
It a tricky search
U gotta google it to find the sale link lol
Non-Iron Twill Shirt - White | Charles Tyrwhitt
Buy our Non-Iron Twill Shirt - White exclusively from Charles Tyrwhitt of Jermyn Street, London. Available for international delivery.
Get slim or regular cut
I see 39.95 a shirt
Like i said u have to google for a sale link
It sorta an easter egg for this brand 😂
Someone else might be able to drop a sale link here
Gotta run atm
Ohh ok
Hit up Macys or your local big box retailer. If you’re wearing a jacket over it it won’t matter much
Truth
I mean those are on sale for $39 anyway
Here’s a saved search for you: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?Brand=Brooks%2520Brothers&Size%2520Type=Regular&Size=46&_nkw=madison&_sacat=3001&_dcat=3001&_fcid=1&_sop=12&_svsrch=1
Good luck!!!
I want poplin?
For the shirt?
@LeisurelyLoafing
Poplin, broadcloth, or twill will all work
And don’t be afraid to make offers on eBay
Which is best idk the difference
Idk if I have time
Idk how offers work
I want that grey one I linked
Hit make offer instead of buy now and offer 125-150 and see how it goes.
How long does it take
Never used eBay
I think seller has 48 hours to respond but most accept, counter, or decline within a day
Hmm ok
I’ll try 150?
Or 125
I’d start with 125 but I like to haggle. 150 is probably a fair price though.
Haha
Alright
I mean I need the suit to get it tailored
Not much time to haggle
Ok if I’m getting 3 shirts
What should I get
Just get one
Just one? White poplin
They only offer a 34 sleeve
I’m a 32/33
Who is they?
Uh
Charles
Tyrwhitt
They have a 3 for $99
And I need some shirts
You almost certainly don’t
I don’t?
How often are you going to wear the suit?
2 times in the next month at least
Get one shirt and just wash it. You need multiple dress shirts around the same time you need multiple suits
Just get one white poplin shirt
I was considering getting one that wasn’t white
Save your money
I guess so
I have one dress shirt and that’s almost too many
Where’s the sleeve supposed to hit
Middle of the first knuckle on your thumb. But your arms are short which is good.
That low?
You can get a shirt with a longer sleeve and get the button moved so it sits in the right spot. Super cheap and super easy for a tailor to do
Not at the wrist?
I’ll get a 34 sleeve then
“First” as in wrist->first knuckle-> middle knuckle -> thumb tip
Yeah that’s no where near the wrist
I thought it was the wrist
Like it should hit the first knuckle ?
I mean it’s literally an inch on my arm

Gotcha
Ok
Ok I’ll just get a 34 poplin then
@LeisurelyLoafing I offered 150 and it was accepted immediately
Guess that means I could have offered less
Anyway it’s ordered
Still a good price! No need to fret about if you could have gone lower
I almost forgot
Can I wear brown shoes
With this color
Like brown wingtips
Yes
Aight
Dark brown ideally
I tried looking online for a suit this color
Can’t find any fit examples
This is what I got @ll.beansandrice
And I’m going for a burgundy tie to match someone’s dress
That’ll be great
Ok perfect
Just gotta order a tie and shirt and I’ll be done
And belt
This is a burgundy tie I like a lot
https://www.kentwang.com/accessories/ties/grenadine-burgundy.html
A belt that will work. Tho pricey. You could just grab a cheapo one from a dept store or kohls tho
https://www.jcrew.com/pdp/mens/categories/accessories/belts/italian-leather-dress-belt/E3145?display=standard&fit=Classic&color_name=cigar-brown&colorProductCode=E3145
$75 is a bit much
But it’s the color I’m looking for
As always it’s worth it to just search the item on eBay
See what turns up
75 is minimum for good grenadine
kent want make good stuff
well, 60mif u search ebay but i afraid of snagged from prev user
We’re on a v tight budget
I can get it in on eBay
Yeah but some shops are really good with marking items and pics @RZ1989
Gotta search a bit
Prob better to buy from an actual eBay shop vs some random though
i know, but the grenadine used i seen so far on ebay bottom at 60 from drakes…
Doesn’t have to be grenadine. Could just be a knit
styleforum classified have a tie section too if u wanna check it out
What is grenadine
Is that a color
it a type of weave, sorta like knit but isn’t
Oh it looks cool
I like it tbh
Man all this nice stuff is going to make my shoes look 
Nah you’ll be fine. If you really want you can polish them a little
I prob should
Need to learn how
These are slightly cheaper it looks like actually

yes, brush ur shoes, put on some lotion for it if needed
Any rec what to use
lotion for shoes?
brushing?
This one looks weird tbh
Not sure
You can get a $50 belt from meermin
Yeah lotion??
i use bick4 for both dress shoes and boots
Awesome I’ll check it
Would be the best dress belt I think at that price point. Also be sure to size up 2 sizes from your pants size when getting a belt
I have the black version and it’s great. A different knit pattern than the grenadine
I think I have a 40% brooks brother's coupon that came for my dad in the mail. Let me see if I can find it lol. You could use it to buy a tie
Haha maybe
Would still be expensive tho
bb ties retail for $110
Oh here's a good option: search for a new lands end tie on eBay
They don't make good ties anymore but you can find a dead stock MiUSA one on eBay that's good
I've been considering doing that myself for getting a basic tie for like job interviews n stuff
@Bread what color/pattern would you like?
Solid knit burgundy is going to be the easiest
Idk if lands end ever sold knits tho

Hmm
I want a burgundy
Color
Also are we sure the suit I got is alright
I’m concerned about the flannel aspect
flannel is fine
standard suiting material for like 30 years in teh mid century
just get a BB tie on ebay
search "brooks brothers burgundy tie" and get the one you like
Why? Zero reason to be concerned
Because someone told me it’s a boomer suit
you wearing it in oct right?
I gotta stop caring what people say
Yeah
somebody doesnt know what theyre fucking talking about
It's a very nice suit
It looks nice, got it for 150 too
It’s a great suit. I have a charcoal flannel suit
charcaol flannel is perfect all-situations suit
Listing said it “appears hardly used”
So should be good
@Bread what do you think of this silk tie? It's new for only $15
if you could have one suit, you got the one youd want
if u dress nice u gonna look nice, materials are neutral
I think it’s a tie lol
Charcoal flannel is THE suit to have. It’s super versatile which is exactly what you need
Idk much about ties
well just dont buy polyester lol
But I need burgundy
Color
He needs burgundy

I was looking at belts
At that meermin site
Are they full grain?
Doesn’t matter
How come
Grain has nothing to do with quality
because its a belt
they gonna last at least 10 year. i have them, i know for sure
Ok Im trying to find a color to match my shoes
Some of the most popular leather ever are a corrected grain
go to a dept store and match your shoes
i told you this the other day
its a belt
I mean full grain vs genuine or some nonsense
it does not matter
Oh

Oh sorry lemme see if I can find a plain burgundy
benji
stop
Ok buying this
Oh ok ok sorry
Maybe I should get some shoes from them too
Oh nevermind
if youre going to get new shoes get them in black
$$$
They are $200
I guess not “flashy” just a weird pattern for a wedding tie
I mean I do have some realllly old black cap toes
I just like the wingtips better
Pics
lets see the black shoes
Always pics my guy
Tommorow I can get pics
they will look better
They are falling apart
Ngl
Then the wingtips will prolly be better lol
Most likely
If the brown works
With the charcoal suit
$200 is as cheap as you'll get for decent quality new dress shoes
The wingtips will be fine. Black cap toe Oxford would be “ideal” but it’s really not a big deal at all
theyre servicable
S T O P
Aw long as I don’t look like a fool I’m happy
youll look just fine
We gotta FOCUS benji
Benji!
Ok ok, I'm not saying he should get them. If they are too much, then he should stick to his current shoes
Also read, we’re not doing $200 shoes rn
I do like those meermin shoes tho, in the future I’ll check em out
I have small feet so finding nice shoes is often a pain
Also dropping $$$ on dress shoes you barely wear is so dumb
As a man with size 8 feet
get the meermin belt, it similar shade to ur brown wingtips, then it good
no need perfect matched
This is super average lol I’m 8.5
Is it avg??
I thought it was small
honestly i dont think its worth dropping the 100 bucks on a meermin belt
i feel attacked lol
It’s technically smaller than dead average but we’re both in the meaty part of the bell curve
$50 @SquillyFerrell
are they still that cheap? shit
Yea
Yeah ikr
same price as 5 years ago damn
Seems like a good deal seeing a Costco belt is $30
lol
Plus shipping but whatever
yeah at that rate its a pretty good deal
Well I’m not going to buy a belt again
So it’s a fine thing to buy
Last dress belt you’ll need for $50+shipping
Brown belt and black belt and I’d be set for quite a while
Unless I lose a ton of weight
But that’s a future problem
It’s okay I still have a pair of park ave’s collecting dust 
Oh shit I never ordered the shirt
lol
I was going to get the Charles something one
Ok so you have the suit, belt, shoes, and shirt all picked out? Have you ordered everything
Poplin white
Charles tyrwhitt
Only thing I ordered yet is the suit
Which I hope fits lol
It’ll be good
I’ll have the nicest suit at the wedding tbh
is the tie bar
@ll.beansandrice @SquillyFerrell is this tie good for him?
still good?
its fine
i mean
its a tie for a wedding
you can basically swing anything thats not novelty
personally id go with a bb #1 but who fucking cares

Really
You can make an offer for less than the listing if you want to try and save money
it looks oddd nowadays
I have a watch at least
Never seen a fit improved by one
I’ll wear this
Always looks affected to me (I used to wear them a lot)
You don’t need a watch unless you want to wear it
I want to
That one is fine tho
I’m a gold guy tho I think
Silver looks meh on me
That’s a myth
Is it
it gonna be under ur shirt cuff
Yeah
I feel naked without something on my wrist tho
Looks great on you there. If you care a lot make sure the belt buckle is also silver (it should be from Meermin iirc) and don’t wear any gold since this is a more formal occasion
But silver looks great on you
Is gold not formal
silver is more formal
Mixing metals isn’t formal
I do have a good bracelet I wanted to wear maybe
Ah
Gold*
I mean it’s not a formal formal wedding
Its semi formal dress code
But my sister just meant she wants everyone in suits
And dresses
Suits is on the formal side these days tbh
It’s the norm around here at least
unless u doing a traditional asian wedding
Never been to a wedding where everyone didn’t have suits
where gold is preferable, i find silver better
did you check with your sister?
But I’ve only been to big Irish catholic weddings
Yeah she wants a suit
okay good
Groom is wearing a tux
You’ll be in a fairly traditional outfit overall so best to abide by as many formality rules as possible like not mixing metals
Ok
I know no rules
We gotchu
I’ll add that to my list lol
we know them all
I’m learning slowly
I even bought some vans today too
😂
You’ve got the shoes, matching belt, dark suit in a good fabric with the right details. A white dress shirt and an angle on a tie to bring it all home
I think the last thing is: do you know a reputable tailor if the suit or shirt needs to be tailored?
I mean my cleaners does tailoring lol
Everything he needs done can be done at a dry cleaner
I’ve always gone to them
He’s my friends dad
perfect
Well the mom does the tailoring
I can prob get it done quickly if I ask lol

Trickiest will be the waist adjustment but even that is a staple for dry cleaner alterations
But I don’t think they do major stuff
Jsut hems and stuff
here's a solid burgundy tie if you'd like something more straightforward. @ll.beansandrice @SquillyFerrell
is that a good idea?
i would say let him pick the tie he likes
I’m super partial to knits personally
Yeah I’ll jsut go to eBay and find a bb one I guess
Or a knit one, what’s a good brand
For that
But I agree with squilly
alright so i'd order everything aside from the tie tonight if you can
as the wedding is really soon
The knit tie could add some interest
i would still get a traditional silk woven tie
Oh ok
I defer to squilly. Ignore me
knits are fun but for future utility i think repp would be best
Got it
Silk woven it is
I just suck at wearing repp ties lol
Is the poplin white no iron the right shirt
You can just get both, ties are cheap on ebay

would be my pick
Looks like a candy cane
Those are v good
bb no1 is the most basic, utilitarian tie you can buy
but its not boring, which is important
Is that what that is
in my opinion, that is
yes
that pattern is BB #1
It’s v cohesive
This good
$2 shipping is wild
Wtf
i thought you were sized at an 18
Nah
I tried shirts at bb
okay
I’m a 17.5 there at least
I’m a 32/33 sleeve
At bb
But the smallest they have here is 34
thats good then
Thought you were an 18 neck?
Nope that was too big
Ah I see now
men’s warehouse fucked up
lol
That’s why I was saying it looked super baggy
they have good cleaning rags
Rip
I personally hate non-iron fabrics but that’s neither here nor there
Lots of people say that
Yeah
but is the fit of the charles tyrwhitt shirt you're ordering the same as the shirt you tried on that was too big?
But a poplin shirt that isn’t non iron is expensive
The brooks shirt I fit in was a regent
Oh I would have assume Charles would have both
Not that I see
non iron is fine if youre just going to have one
is charles tyrwhitt slim fit close enough to brooks regent fit?
Shirt sizing tends to not be vanity or anything so I’d put money on menswarehouse just being wrong
opposite
brooks regent shirts are regular fit
i wear extra slim, 160lbs 5ft8
u want slim
He’s a size 48?
bread is not you
extra slim is a tad slimmer than milano
oh i think i thought it said slim fit on the picture he sent of the charles tyrwhitt shirt but i was mistaken. @Bread what fit is the ct shirt you're ordering?
48?
No one in the world is a size 48 and slim shirt fit
Slim fit
oh nvm then
I read the regular fit is super bulky
Yeah like jacket size
get classic or trad or whatever equates to regular
Doesn’t matter/wrong
I’m afraid it will be bulky as I’ve read for the CHarles shirts
shirts should be flowy
Are you sure
it wont if u tuck in with a jacket outside
1000%
it wont show
Having space to move and breathe in your clothes is the most important
i'd get the 17.5 in the classic fit from ct then right?
weddings also get hot and you will want the airflow
47 and 41.5
Chest and waist for the regent shirt
hmm
maybe a relaxed fit like madison then
The regent fit you?
Yeah
Fit great
Pics?
then nevermind
No pictures lol
pics first though yeah
welp
I forgot
Gonna keep it a buck w/u I don’t trust your judgement of whether they fit or not lol
This was the shirt
The sales person said it fit
We tried like 4 different shirts
I don’t trust him neither
Her but lol
Maybe
Fk
Im canceled
bannewd
@artvandelayimporting GET HIM
Assuming smh
the 17.5 regent fit didn't seem slim at all?
No it had plenty of room
Felt good
ok I say get the 17.5 classic fit from CT
how much is plenty of room
The 18 was enourmous
So baggy
Like a dress
I still think classic fit
I’ll get a classic, if it doesn’t fit I’ll run to macys
lol
it's also easier to tailor a shirt that's too big than one that's too small
Yeah like if it actually is horrible you can just dart it for like $10
If it’s too small you’re DOA
the military tuck as well
Just let clothes breathe
the closer the fabric to your skin the bigger the brick
ok you've ordered the suit. the tie the other's recommended you is perfect i think. i'd finish ordering the classic fit CT shirt, the meermin belt, and the tie they sent you
capes only
You may not like it but this is peak shirt fit (this is a meme I’m not actually being this sassy)
(It IS ideal shirt fit tho)
Can you guys tell me why these jeans I tried on look awful post a pic
Or do I need a new thread
post a pic
Or do I need a new threadBest to make another thread or post in #outfit-feedback
Ugh ok
I was jsut trying jeans on at the outlet
Levi’s sucks apparently
But anyway
Yeah just drop the pic and “how bout these jeans?” In #outfit-feedback
Too embarassed ngl
They look awful
do you want to know why or dont you
I do lol
One sec
I’d sooner ban you for getting me into this thread
hahahahaha
I don’t buy the size of the shirts from bb site
There’s no way
@Bread btw if you don't have dress socks, get gold toe dress socks from any store that sells them. that's the last thing i can think of
black should work for a color
That it’s 47x41.5
Maybe they mean person measurement
Not the shirt
Cuz the extra slim on Charles is 49 x 46.5
what are the measurements of the classic fit 17.5?
53.5 and 53
But if we go by body measure
It’s 48 and 42
Which is close to the regent
52 and 49 shirt size for the slim cut
Charles does say their “slim” is their regular
And Reddit is full of bigger guys saying the slim fit is what fits them
I don’t believe them
how old are these posts
Hm
10 years
Also it is a dead simple alteration to add darts and slim a shirt down if actually needed
💀
It will not matter, bigger is better here, the collar and the sleeves are the only thing you care about
can always dart it
these guys were popping buttons at super sonic speeds
10 years ago skin tight aas trendy
Get the right collar fit, with room in the body, and get the sleeves tailored to the right length if you need end of story
was
and i know because i was one of them lmao
You’re wearing a jacket and tie only about 10 square inches of shirt are gonna be visible it truly does not matter
me ten years ago, firmly a regular large, saying i fit in a slim fit medium qlocbd
Hm
Idk there’s posts from a few years ago
Saying same
That the slim is baggy ehen
Here and now
Most people rec the super slim
We are saying don’t worry
you want baggy on dress shirts
you want extra fabric
Ok
I’ll get the classic I guess
bruh, you wearing a suit, and shirt under the jacket
it hidden away
But if I take off the jacket
My one dress shirt is huge, but it doesn’t matter
that what belt are for
and darting mean makig the shirt slimmer
cost 10 bucks
extra fabric helps keep the pants sitting right and keeps the shirt tucked in
Darting is prob more expensive than buying a different fit
Aight
I’ll get the classic then
darting costs like 10 bucks
You will 100% regret a too small shirt more than a too big one
It’s easy to go smaller impossible to go bigger
too small shirt is ridiculous, it show when ur buttons pulling
too big dont have that problem
Absolutely 0 reason to err on the side of smaller when you have the choice
nothing more embarrassing for a bigger guy than the buttons around the belly popping open when you sit down
because i have been there
Ok ordered the shirt
great!!
Getting the belt now
We said espresso
Right
is it the same color as the one you sent a picture of?
Get a 42 pant size belt

You tried on pants and you measure a 40 waist right?
eait yeah before getting the belt lets see the jeans
Yes
I wear a 40 pant
Actual measure is like 41
The jeans jsut look awful
Levi’s 505
Not fixing the cuff makes it really hard to tell tbh
But this in a 110 that should fit I think
110 ok
Yeah idk
The pants fit weird in the front
Kept giving me a pocket look where my junk is lol
I ain’t that fat
That just happens with fits sometimes
Nothing to do with your weight
Any different jeans you’d rec
Ok orseeed that oak belt
Ok done
I’m going to bed for the night
Thanks for the help guys , all that’s left is to order the tie
wonderful!
The suit arrived
Initial fit pics
Think it looks pretty good?
Sleeves maybe slightly long
Feels and fits a lot better than the BB outlet suit of the same size lol
What about the crinkled arm holding the phone
arm is gonna look off when raised no matter what that's why we always ask to have someone else take the picture or lean your phone somewhere with self timer
sleeve should come up a bit but you'll have a better idea of how much when you have the shirt youll be wearing on
How’s it looking though
Fits ok?
I did notice the threads are a bit loose at the tails where the liner is sewn to the wool
hard to really tell from the pics but yeah looks good to me
Ok cool
I’ll try to take some better pics tommorow
best to wear the shirt you'll be wearing and the shoes, but if the shirt hasn't come in yet wear your best fitting collared shirt if you have one
Ok will do
Do this
Except for the raised arm
Stand naturally and get front side and back pics
Aight I didn’t do the shirt or shoes but here’s the suit
Suit is a little wrinkly from being in the packaging
My left shoulder seems higher than my right lol
I think it’s fairly good fit though?
It's a beautiful suit! The others will have better knowledge of the fit. You can get it pressed to get out the wrinkles at a dry cleaner
Yah I’m going to get it cleaned and pressed
Pls wear it with the shoes
Looks like the sleeves will need shortened a bit
Sleeves yeah probably
Do I need a “real” tailor? I found a seamstress in the area highly recommended
Prob expensive and long lead times though
I do have to go out today but later tonight I can try it with a shirt and shoes
Not for the main things that need done like sleeves and a pant hem
To clarify. Take pics wearing the suit and shoes
Feel like I’m dressed in a plastic bag
This is the Charles tyrwhit shirt
Maybe jsut needs ironing? Although it says it’s a no iron shirt
Sleeves and neck fit alright?
Non iron doesn’t actually mean you never have to iron it, it has wrinkles from being folded
The fit in the body looks fine
Sleeves you need to have your arms at rest and the cuffs tugged down so we know how long they actually are
Neck looks fine as long as it’s comfortable
There’s this pic too
Sleeve on the non phone hand is more at rest
The sleeves are a bit bulky I guess idk
Shoulders seem too big?
So I should iron it?
Yes iron it
It just looks too big?
Am I seeing things
Fit looks close. Give it a quick iron, and do you have a pair of trousers to tuck it in? Tough to tell in these pics
It’s the sleeve that look awful to me
I guess I also need a long sleeve white undershirt
To go with this
Idk about that
Something under it?
It’s almost see through
Just looks like a traditional cut shirt rather than a slim cut. If you're wearing it under a jacket for a suit it's not visible
I’m wearing a blue shirt under that
Yeah but if it gets hot and I take off the jacket
Yeah I mean they told me to get the classic cut lol
Yall really think it’s not too big?
Like I said you can't really tell in these photos unless you iron it and throw on the suit pants with it
I’ll iron it and do that
Ok got some pics
I’m also really bad at standing naturally it seems 😂
Shirt looks great
Sleeves aren’t too long?
It’s kinda wrinkly under the suit
How’s the suit besides the shirt look
Having some slack to move your arms is fine/desired. Looks like the cuff is tight enough that it sits mostly in the right place
The jacket looks p good but impossible to judge without full body front side and back pictures
Ahh ok
I mean does it need tailoring? Or good enough
The shoulders on the shirt are drooping off
I’m debating weather brown shoes and belt is ok with this too
Brown shoes and belt is fine. Shoulders on the shirt are also fine
Aight so
Tailor or no?
The jacket looks p good but impossible to judge without full body front side and back pictures
I posted earlier those
For reference
Suit needs to be pressed
Wear the whole fit. Shirt. Shoes. Suit. P sure I said to wear the shoes last time too
Jacket sleeves look a little long and you prolly want the waist taken out a bit if possible but again hard to tell w/o the full fit
Aight tommorow
Is there a way to iron the suit so it’s good for pics
A tailor should be able to press a suit, and if not, a decent dry-cleaner should be able to press a suit.
That is what "pressing" means, it's essentially using an iron, cloth, and some other bits to make it 1) unwrinkle and be smooth and flat, and 2) press a crisp seam into the front of the trousers
Make sure to wear the shoes you plan to wear to the wedding so that if the trousers need to be shortened, 1) we can see, and more importantly, 2) your tailor can see
Well I’m trying to see if I need it tailored at all, will post pics tommorow of the full suit
Best shoes are the "proper" shoes, second-best shoes are the best ones you have. I know you're on a budget so the nicest pair you own, if they're brown, should be just fine. As long as they don't look absurd you'll be just fine. :)
Sleeves need to be shortened, yes.
They are wingtips
Great!
Yeah
Wingtips are fine. Show us and we'll thumbs up it I am sure.
I have before, they said they are good
(On your feet, with the full suit worn, and all the other bits. Belt, dress shirt, tie if you plan to wear one, etc.)
Fantastic
Yes
You're almost there my friend
Tie isn’t ordered yet
You will likely need the sleeves shortened, but we need to see them with the shirt.
Order a tie.
I did post that with the shirt
Sleeves need a little bit
(Or go to the store and get a tie, there are a ton of ties that look just fine in stores)
The other thing is, your suit without tailoring is already going to look better than what a lot of dudes wear to a wedding.
Like, some people dress like absolute shit to weddings.
So go see a tailor, get it tightened up a bit and try not to stress
Scroll up a bit
For the shirt pic
tightened up as in like, refined
shirt with the suit my guy
Yes
It’s there
ler is correct, you're looking like you are honoring your sister's big occasion already. You will dial it in at a tailor and it'll come together.
oh you did post it!
Well I have like 2 weeks so I’m worried
About tailoring
you're good
but go to the tailor as soon as you can
as others said wear the shirt, wear the shoes, wear the pants
Will go to the drycleaners
and be honest that you're on a time crunch
No problem, one week turnaround is normal. You can do rush processing. Sleeves should cost ~$30.
Cool
but like gimp said to properly hem the pants you want to wear the shoes you'er going to wear with the pants so the tailor can assess the break and stuff
I got the name of a local tailor but I think dry cleaner is fine tbh?
I want to get it cleaned anyway
I’m jsut worried about that shirt but
I’ll try everything on tommorow and post some better pics
Most dry cleaners can shorten sleeves a little and do a pants hem. Virtually all can do pants hem.
the shirt looks absolutely fine
Just needs to be ironed as others have said.
I did lol
Did I do it badly
ok then you're good
no no im just not fully tuned into this massive thread lol don't worry
Lmao it is a long
you dont want a siin tight shirt bro
skin*
if i wear a skin tight shirt and have to take my suit jacket off that skin tight shirt is gonna be like, 90% sweat
absolutely leave room for your body regulating your temp
and the sleeves is fine
what matter is the cuff tight enough and it rest at the absolutely best spot
Well my concern is the pic with the suit and shirt see how it’s kinda wrinkly
Down the center
It doesn't look wrinkly to me
Alright
it. not wrinkly
u can get it pressed, i sometimes do a hot water shower and hang the woolen stuff in the bathroom and sorta let the steam does its job
😆
lol
It’s jsut not centered
I think
if u have a hand steamer that help remove wrinkle too
Will look better with a tie
I do have one
the tie helps a lot
my shirt move around with my body
too
Does the tie go under the suit
tie cover up and distract away
u fine bro
Yeah
tie under suit jacket yea
Alright I’ll try to iron out the suit a bit
And then try the whole thing on
dont iron it urself ok?
Why not
bring it to a dry cleaner and ask for pressed
idk about iron ur own, may burn or if u do it wrong will leave a crease where u dont want
Ah
I mean just on low wool setting can’t do much damage
I would think
im sure you'll be fine but if you're going to a tailor/dry cleaner
might as well have them do it all at the same time
Yeah
hem, shorten sleeve, press and boom you're good to go
I jsut wanted to for the pics
The pants might even be ok tbh
The lenght seems pretty good
i fucked up iron my tailoring stuff before, so never again
at this point i wouldn't stress the fit too much, everything looks good from what we can see. but if you wanna post to show us the whole fit and we can let you know about the pants + shoe
but don't stress
you're good
hard part was getting the suit, you got it and it fits
Yeah I want to make sure it’s good
“Fits”
But yeah
nah it fits. shortening a sleeve a bit is easy
I guess I’m at the point I’m not going to look amazing unless I lose weight
nah dont say that, the suit looks good my dude
I guess so
Looks a lot better than the one I tried on at the outlet
I’m actually amazed looking at the pics of that one
How cheap it looked
PLEASE do not iron your suit yourself. Please get it pressed at a shop by professionals, or don't press it at all.
Ok I won’t kicad person
Eagle, thank you very much. (Kicad is way better but at the time I made the design that still works great as a round profile picture, I used eagle)
Ahh
Yeah Eagle is not the move, they dug their own grave lol
Got the pics, sorry for the crap lighting quality lol
There’s a bit of tugging of the fabric in the back that I see
I “fixed” the lighting so you can see more detail, but here’s a shot without brightening
looks p good honestly. The sleeves will need shortened a touch. The pants are definitely draping a bit weird but I think it's something with the hips/rise. You could maybe have the pants hemmed a tiny amount. Unsure if a dry cleaner would be able to let out the waist in the jacket a bit but that's the other main thing I would consider
TL;DR hem the sleeves a little, maybe the pants
Alright I’ll find a dry cleaner and go this week
I’m worried about how the back looks
It's a bit tight which is why I mentioned letting the waist out a touch but it's not that big of a deal tbh
You have what 2 weeks?
Yes
I could try to lose
Yeah just get the hems I think
Ok will do
Idk if I’m a fan of this shirt
Any other suggestions
It doesn’t fit right and the collar looks ridiculous
Someone told me that
It's fine. Don't stress
I can get a different shirt
I feel like you guys are just saying it’s fine to get me to stop asking
If it’s bad please tell me
The shirt is all bunched up underneath.. it just doesn’t fit
What do you expect the shirt to fit like? Send a picture
Because it looks like it fits
But maybe you have a different conception of what fit is
Ok I will
You just have to tuck your shirt more neatly if that’s what you’re worried about
The sleeves look huge on me?
And the shoulders droop off
I’m not that fat as it seems wearing that shirt lol
It makes me look way bigger
Sleeves are fine, shoulders could be smaller but it’s not really a big deal. The shirt doesn’t make you look bigger
Should i get it tailored
I can jsut dart it
I don’t think there’s any reason to tailor the shirt
Not even the sleeves?
No
You could get the sleeves shortened when you have more time, but it’s not important
Ok
I jsut need to learn to tuck it properly I guess
See here under the suit
How it pleats and wrinkles
You just need to fix your shirt once you have the jacket on
Is that it? Alright
Yes, just adjust the shirt so it’s sitting right
I’ve got to order a good tie too
Alright
How’s the knot look at least
I can’t really teach you how to do a good tie knot over text, it looks fine, not perfect, it will be better with a better tie.
Ok cool thank you
Im looking for a bb tie?
Drake?
A drakes tie is probably gonna be more money than you want to spend even second hand, but I’m not a tie expert, someone else will have to weigh in on that, or go find the conversation about it you had before
Yeah true I should search that up
Thank you
You’re prob right those drakes go for $300 new
What color tie would you recommend
I don’t have to wear burgundy apparently
Navy or green possibly?

I have drakes tie
Not worth msrp
Drakes on eBay go less than 50% new
And they are a tad slim, i would want something 3.5 inch width. Length is up to your height i suppose
Length is up to height and neck thickness. OP, do you know the exact size you want?
Idk anything about size no
Neck size is 17.5
And I have a pretty long torso
U prob 59 or 61
Wat the current tie length
The one in pic?
No idea
Doesn’t say
Do you own a tape measure?
Yes
Can you measure the length of your tie?
And width at the widest part, also.
I can tommorow yeah
In bed already
Ok im reconsidering the shirt
what other fabric besides poplin is good?
I want to be able to take the jacket off and cool down if needed
and i cant with the current shirt.. way too big
im thinking a twill one
I don't really see issues with your current shirt. looks like you got a nice suit! I think you're gonna look great for this wedding
It looks like im wearing my grandpas shirt tbh
I dont see how everyone keeps saying it looks ok lol
Shirt looks fine to me
Im so confused
honestly I think the pictures you shared of the full outfit earlier with shoes, belt, jacket etc looked great
yeah but if i want to take the shirt off
jacket off
its going to look awful
Im really not as overweight as that pic with the shirt makes it seem
looks like im 50lbs heavier
i'm in the minority here but i dont think it looks that great without the jacket - it's billowing out and giving you kind of a muffin top look. even with a neater tuck, i dont think it'll help much and it might be worth getting the sides taken in a bit
^
exactly how i feel
dont take my word for it though, i just like my clothes to be a little more fitted
ig to me a more fitted shirt would be more "icing on the cake" so maybe shop a little but don't stress out about it
where can i get a shirt in person?
and try on
for cheap
I should have gotten the slim fit like I said originally lol
Have you tried different tucks like others suggested?
how?
I think the sleeves themselves are way too long
and the shoulders droop
Try the military tuck, I use that one often
a tuck wont help i think
try it and see
Worth a shot right

Like raisin said, it's worth a shot
you got nothing to lose by trying
ill try rn
Looks a bit better
Compared to this
do you feel better about that now?
cuz i think at this point, it's all about what you feel comfortable with
You're going to be wearing a tie too right?
yeah
I think the arm holes are way too big
and the sleeves too long
Might as well exchange for slim same size neck and shorter sleeve
It seems you over measured sleeves length last time
the sleeves looked good when wearing a jacket, if you take the jacket off just unbutton sleeves and roll them up
No i got the smallest sleeve avail
for my size
exchange prop wont arrive in time
I can buy a new one yeah
in twill too instead of poplin?
Twill is thicker
Yeah i dont like how sheer the poplin is
If u wanna sweat u will feel it 😂
I have both
Lol
damn
is it that different
Went on a spree 5 years ago when i still have to go onsite to work
It thicker
Poplin thinner but more airy
My body temp on the higher side, if the air is iffy where u at or temp is high the day of event if u guys doing it outside
Twill might make u sweat a bit
Im always hot
ill be sweating
dancing
I used to like very trim fit
Part of aging, now a bit of room is better for me
Still it a personal preference
A bit of room sounds better for dancing
Yea
U wont pull ur shirt out of ur pants too hard
And like faux said up there
Roll your sleeves if u take off the jacket
It looks better that way, sorta fix the issue of longer and baggier sleeves as well
So order the slim cut?
I wouldn’t
I think your shirt looks fine. Shirts have shape and wrinkles.
You can roll the sleeves up.
You’ll have a tie.
If you go slim, you are going to sweat through it if it’s hot enough to take the jacket off.
Ugh
Ok
I’m just not happy with it lol
The “slim” is CT regular fit btw
They have a super slim
i mean, you do you, but you're overthinking it. when you are dancing no one will notice the sheer of your shirt and you probably (hopefully) won't be thinking about the length of your sleeves.
It’s mostly the armpit size
And the bagginess
Go to a store near you and try some other shirts on?
They don’t have a Charles thrwhit near me
go to any store that sells shirts and try some on?
Like what, who sells good quality shirts for under $50
Have you considered just going to a mall and just try shirts there? You don't have to buy anything but you can kinda tell when something fits you or not, no?
Yes I’ve tried on shirts
Try some more, and try other things too, just for fun
It seems you're stressing out a lot, but just consider you already have a solid outfit, anything else just get would be a nice to have
You over thinking it man
We aint joking when we said you look solid
@Bread you’re sorta right that the shoulders aren’t great and the sleeves are a bit billowy but again with the small budget and short timeline it will be tough to do much better.
I can still guarantee that you’ll be one of the best dressed dudes there. Don’t sweat it
i think we talked about coffee gear on the general chat channel. Think of time/money invested in an outfit the same way, you can only get so far before you start getting diminished returns.
Well yeah, it’s not the money, I can exchange the shirt for free
For a slim fit one
If that would be better
you might want to consider the slim fit might fit better on sleeves, but not as good elsewhere
In my college town, I went to a small menswear shop that did shirts plus tailoring for $80. That's potentially an option
and it's also not just the money, but your time and your mental health
This tbh ^
Bruh $80 shirt is out of budget
Oh sorry, do you think the fit issues on his current shirt can be tailored?
He can keep it as is for the wedding but tailor it in the future when he was more time/budget
Sorry I came on strong. This thread is like 1k messages and no deets anywhere
It's okk
I don’t think it fits well anywhere tbh lol
You also have to remember that people aren't really going to be seeing your shirt under your suit
he's worried about taking his jacket off for dancing and such
this is how people look by the time dancing is happening, at least good weddings
I’m prob going to take the jacket off
Yeah
I won’t look that good
have you tried rolling up your sleeves?
No should I?
when you take the jacket off, yes
You can try dancing with the jacket? Honestly I think that's a more elegant look
Though the suit may be restrictive for some dance moves lol

How to Roll Your Sleeves Up (and What NOT to Do)
Wondering how to roll your sleeves up on your button up shirts? Here are a few methods you can choose from, along with three mistakes that you'll want to try to avoid.
I'll show you a few options for below the elbow and above the elbow rolls. Whatever you do, avoid the dreaded "elbow bender" (watch the video to find out what this is).
#rollyou...
try the basic two turn roll described there
its going to be hot prob @Benjiara
Dancing in the jacket? Hell nah
you will look good
it does not have to be a perfect fit
you are severely underestimating how bad most dudes dress for weddings
take the jacket off and roll up the sleeves. it doesn't matter if the shirt shoulders aren't totally perfect at this point. your jacket fits fine and that's gonna be the one you're in wedding photos for
how bad will people look lol
i need some bad examples :p
my point is just that by giving a shit you are already ahead of the game
Poplin is the correct material /weave for your dress shirt. Definitely not twill.
Also my friend here is a wedding pro tip. When it's the end of the night and you're dancing ... virtually all clothing sins are forgiven. Nobody will care if the shirt isn't perfect, everyone just wants to have a good time
yeah but might as well make it look good
i dont need excuses to look bad lol
I feel like if u were still look super proper by that time, u aint having a good time
Look good for photo op, but relax once it time to party, that a successful wedding
I probably looked dumb as shit dancing without my jacket at my wedding, but I didn't care even remotely. :)
BTW did you get your tie length and width?
Oops
Not yet lol
I made a tailoring appt to get the sleeves shortened tommorow
So I’ll drop it off and get it cleaned and pressed too
Fantastic
Ok went to the tailor he’s going to shorten the sleeves
Said the rest fits well
awesome!
I hope the wedding is lovely
Just need a tie and I’m set
Thinking this one but I gotta measure it
Will report back
If you already own that tie and it fitst well then it is a great option
I don’t own it
Also 3.5 inch and 59 inch @gimp
3.5 is a good width afaik
Have you been measured to know what length you need? Maybe someone here has an idea
i have not
also the tailor said he will leave the sleeves a tad long beceause its a winter suit
is that normal
Tailor gonna tell u their preference, u can ask him to show u the shorter vs longer sleeves
See what u like
also i know yall said it was fine but i got the slim shirt to try anyway lol
😂
That fine
yeah i mean it seemed fine
sit at wrist bone
If u like it that good then
he said a little sleeve will show
I personally dont care about cuff showing that much
thats good i think
yeah
i mean the sleeves were long
he charge $38
is that a lot
If he do a good job, i think mine charged 45
yeah the lady who does it comes well recommended
but shes kind of mean lol
the guy was nice though
If it look perfect after modifying, forgive her lol
She wasnt mean tio me lol
my mom tried to bring in a dress to get fitted too
when only I made an appoiintment
and she was like No NOOO i cant do that
Oh i see
which is understandable tbh
They need appt? Not walk in?
yeah
she just said shes very busy
Gotcha, mine only walk in
and doesnt have time
My tailor died last year
but i should get the suit back next sat
oh rip
Covid 😭
damn man
Been going to him for 7 years
that sucks
Man worked hard for decade and that was his first trip back to his home country too
damn :/
Another tailor i went to afterward told me, since they both koreans
The community tight over where i live
every tailor around here is korean
Ohh
its wild
They do great work
they do
but yeah its hard to find one that isnt lol
nail salons and cleaners are all mostly korean owned around here
It viet for nail in mine
ahh yeah that too
In fact my wife bro has a nail salon 😂
You pretty set, besides the tie, u good to go i think
Enjoy the wedding man
thanks lol
im stressing
I have to bear the rings
Time to shine 😉
You'll do great. Make sure the ring is secure in its box so it won't fall out when you open it. A (thick) string does a great job; thick so it's easy to untie when nervous. :)
lol you think a box is the way to go?
Trying to figure that out actually
When I proposed I had a little ... leather pouch, with a leather string tied through the ring, to ensure it didn't go anywhere.
My friend did not learn this trick and dropped the ring in the water when proposing. It's on film. He dove immediately in the thankfully very shallow, but absurdly cold water to get it!
So all I'm saying is, tied with a thick string of some sort, in a small container of some sort. :)
lol wow
I can’t imagine diving into shallow water
