Limited Editions - Topic of the day 3/3/25

Items that are limited edition collabs or a particular style I think are worthwhile. A shoe that exists in 24 colorways already to get a limited 25th colorway feels silly to me. But it’s easier to decide that you want that color rather than what would be a whole new item

Limited Editions - Topic of the day 3/3/25

My style doesn’t lend itself to many limited editions items but the red wings and Russell Moccasins for Japan are just way better than what’s available in the US

Double check their measurement charts but idk if there’s a way to change the pant size you buy.

Studio suits? Or alternative

Spier sells a “drop 6” iirc which means that the pants size is 6 less than the jacket size. So if you buy a size 38 jacket the pants are a size 32

Studio suits? Or alternative

They deliver a bad product not on time regularly. Idk about Harry Rosen but they sound similar tbh. For the $300 range Spier is the only brand I’d trust

Sunglasses

You can try cases, the keepers, just being more mindful of where they go. But not dropping them is kinda the main thing aside from the small budget.

Sunglasses

I think you’re options are find a way to not drop your glasses or just buy cheap ones. There’s not any glasses that you can throw around like that without taking damage regardless of budget

Pulling off oversized/relaxed clothing

An easy item to find that you could try out is the J Crew giant chinos and the classic PRL chinos (not just Andrews. They're good but the have a bit of a taper, there are other cuts to explore on ebay)

Suit color combo to match dress

I personally tend to prefer a white shirt with a tie in a complementary color and a similar choice for pocket square like a white square with a pink trim but this works.

Pulling off oversized/relaxed clothing

Sometimes you can size up and it will work. Sometimes you can't. In general I think it tends to go poorly tho

Pulling off oversized/relaxed clothing

Like anything I suggest cultivating some inspo and working from there. There's a massive range of oversized and relax fits in basically any style genre you want (city for ivy for example or Armani and similar oversized tailoring from the 90s) https://www.instagram.com/p/DGoiTq_MyJP/

Studio suits? Or alternative

$250 for a suit and 30% poly is p rough tbh but if you’re budget limited and need this color you can try it. I would caution that this business has many red flags of not delivering the suit on time and fitting well
