outfit feedback? specifically JPI (jacket pants interaction)
The jacket is cashmere with a bit of texture but has a pretty high stance and imo reads as a bit sleek, while the cords are wide wale, fit, and brown which leans more rustic to me.
That being said I wore em because I think the texture of the cashmere complements the cords,and when worn open the jacket's sleekness is mitigated.
So the question is: what're the Collective 's Thoughts on the combo

the idea is fine and i don't mind the material choice
i think a 2 button jacket (if possible) might be a more effective bridge between the sleek jacket and ruggedness of the fit
that or adding in an extra texture - a shetland or fair isle sweater, a chambray or flannel shirt, etc.
yeah i love this jacket except i wish it were a 3 roll 2 :nooooo: housing works giveth and taketh
I like this idea a lot! Do you think a knit tie could provide that extra texture?
possibly, depending on its thickness, even moreso if it's somehow a flecked or patterned knit (or wool)
The beauty of a 3r2 is that they start out as 3
So you could do it ivy style and repress the lapels
I'm gonna be real I did not know this. That makes total sense tho, I'm surely gonna start repressing
Haha yeah my understanding was 3r2s came from people repressing the lapels of their 3 buttons when they went out of style but couldn’t afford new jackets
I don’t know if that’s true but it sounds kinda right
that was my understanding, at least relative to american tailoring (brooks bros)
I'll poke around for the process but do y'all have experience doing it? I should probably test it out with a blazer I wouldn't care too much about
@sethmon might know better
It probably depends on lining and interfacing and stuff
But you want to iron flat first
Then after it’s set totally without the old crease you can put in the new one
this rules. The blazer in question feels like it'd be kinda delicate to mess with, it's a pretty thin cashmere layer and fully lined. I'll bug puma at alfargo
Have a tailor re-press the lapels
DO NOT press it yourself
I can recommend a tailor that is skilled at re-pressing a lapel
I will check it out in person
Amazing

(it is possible to do yourself but a pain in the ass especially if you're repressing a true 3-button)
I’m assuming there’s a good but not obvious reason why Nick said not to diy
inferring that it's easy to fuck up
Or really really depends on material and construction
he gets a kickback
