Where to buy Chinos, OCBDs, gloves
I've been coasting off some chinos and OCBD's I bought for myself several years ago, they're all slimmer fit and also the wrong size as I've lost some weight since then, so looking to replace. I also would like to grab some gloves as I moved somewhere colder and boy is it getting cold. Curious about where people look for this stuff. What I have right now is a mix of Bonobos and JCrew.
Would pref buying new, I may put some of these things on my Christmas list.
Don't mind spending a little bit, 1-2 hundred for a good whatever, or more if they're really good. Also not looking for crazy high end though so if there's great options for cheaper then that's good enough.

what kinda gloves you looking for? Just like a cotton or wool knit?
good question, my initial vision was some knit things but I've been eyeing leather gloves a bit more recently. I'd be interested in both at least for the sake of browsing
JCrew is still good on sale, a lot of people wearing the giant fits. Vintage PRL, Brooks Bros, Jpress all good options for chinos and ocbds
Kamakura
Love the j crew giant fit chinos. I have them in four colors.

My oxfords are either from Polo Ralph Lauren: https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clothing-button-down-shirts/the-iconic-oxford-shirt---all-fits/342680-C.html?cgid=men-clothing-button-down-shirts&masterId=342680&userSelectedColor=White#start=1&cgid=men-clothing-button-down-shirts
Or Wythe (I love these recently): https://wythenewyork.com/collections/oxford-cloth-button-downs
Wythe New York
Oxford Cloth Button Downs
These are the reason Wythe was started. These oxfords feature the perfect washed-down, lived-in feel with a generous collar roll and standard fit.
Wythe looks great, I tend to dodge visible logos so PRLs are less my thing, thank ya tho
I need to go find some more fit examples of the giant fit chinos
I am not a big pants convert yet
so if they're truly big then I might angle more towards the straight or classic fits
which also, what the hell is the difference between those lmao
These are all giant fits chinos. Untailored except the waist.
The classic fit is also great. It’s what my boyfriend wears. A bit less dramatic but really flattering.
thanks so much, yeah I think I'm leaning that way
I may pick up a giant fit at some point to play around with but for my baseline I want to stock up on slightly less big pant
They also carry regular fits
Yeah. Here are some photos of their standard, classic fit I pulled from GQ.

My boyfriend loves these.
Anglo Italian, Informale, Berg & Berg, and Rubato will all be at the upper end of what you're looking for, but worth checking for what's available secondhand for each or keeping an eye on sales
Yeah already added the jcrew straight fit chinos to my list, thanks guys
Thanks for these too, will put on my list for down the line
Any recs on the gloves? Knitwear or leather? My hands are freezin and it’s only gonna get worse
OCBDs too, I have Wythe down as very appealing but I like to have many names to write down on my list
I prefer leather with a wool lining of some kind. Usually in the winter I'm scraping ice off my windshield or shoveling snow and leather is just harder wearing and more protective. Hestra is the popular rec but they are on the more expensive side. I'm sure there are plenty of other ones from some of the brands listed here (like j crew) that would be cheaper options too that would do the job just fine
Hestra looks great though, noting it down
I like the gloves I've gotten from upstate stock, a nice knit wool
Wythe's oxfords are the brooks brothers standard, great fit and collars
Upstate also does leather patches for the palms sown on top the knit wool, great for shoveling
For OCBD I like Spier Mackay, i recently got a blue one on sale
