Spier & Mackay suit fit
1.5” is exactly what Spier says the allowance is on the jacket waist. I got a Spier suit last year that was snug at the button point and made this adjustment.

Anyone know a good place to get pants like this?
I thrifted some Brooks Brothers cords that look like this. Baggy, similar color, but pleated.

Are these dress pants high-waisted?
If the size chart Uniqlo offers for this pant is correct, they have a very short rise (10” on a 32).

Paraboot michaels alternative
I have Michaels and I have a pair of Gh Bass Wallace. The Wallace has a more narrow toe box which is both a bit uncomfortable for me and does not quite nail the look of Michaels. The sole is also light on the Wallace which wouldn’t bother some but I prefer a hefty sole.
I have not tried the Kleman version, but I do have the Kleman version of Paraboots Chambord and it is pretty high quality (especially for the price).

Online places for decent/good quality used clothing (UK)?
It is unfortunately common to not get measurements or questions answered from sellers on eBay. At this point I usually just ignore a listing that doesn’t have measurements and good photos, I’ve wasted too much time messaging sellers.
Also, I would say on any resell site it’s a big risk that you would get a bootleg of that Burberry shirt.

Anyone know what this type of sweater is called and some decent options for them?
It’s just how a lot of sweatshirts were made in the 90s. Giant sleeves and or shoulders. (I hate how it looks on me.)

Clarks wallabee boot sizing?
I usually wear a 10 in non-sneakers, and the Wallabee does fit me in this size. However, the sole feels a bit precarious in this size so I always switch up to a 10.5 (my sneaker size). It’s not too big and it feels more stable.

Jncos for tall people
I think JNCO inseams are way oversized, which isn’t surprising because they used to be worn super long. The models are 6’2” and they’re wearing 32 inseams and the shoes are covered with denim. That’s just how they are made to be worn.

Fit check/advice
I think it fits well, and I like the color. It must be real shearling, and insects have nipped at it a bit on the front there?

wearing a regular button down unbuttoned/as a shirt jacket
I actually didn’t mess with overshirts for years because I tried to use my existing button up shirts as oversshirts and I did not like the look. In my experience, the overshirt will be a bit bigger and a bit heavier so it will wear more like a jacket. Now I do have bigger and heavier shirts that I will also wear as an overshirt. But I have also worn oversized chambray shirts (that are maybe mid weight) as an overshirt too, with some success. So I guess all I’m saying is try it and see if you like the way it hangs/lays…

Fit Check and Recommendations
Issues with the Levi’s include: 1) probably has stretch, 2) rise is too short, 3) tapers too much. Any Levi’s 93s are probably going to have stretch. You definitely dont want anything skinny if you like the Mujis, and you probably don’t want slim either.

Looking for this jacket
I went deep researching these on eBay a year or two ago, and the problem I had was that the truly old ones are too small for me, and the 80s/90s ones have really big and wide upper sleeves which look terrible on me (I did buy one so I know it looks terrible on me). I figured I would have to explore the modern repros from other brands but I haven’t gotten there yet (too-many-jackets related)

Office workers - what socks do you wear to work?
Ralph’s got some good multi packs of brown/cream/tan crew socks that are what I would wear to the office half the year. Then the thinner Uniqlo 50 color ones with loafers the other half.
