What’s good in the realm of sweatshirts?

assuming the sizing works for you and you're not after a slim/flattering fit, they're amazing and 100% worth it

What’s good in the realm of sweatshirts?

but if you're willing to order from japan, they're available for a little cheaper (inclusive of shipping) with more styles and colors (like pullover hoodies instead of just zip front)

self edge has had them for years, but it seems like maybe they're clearing them out? so they're all on sale here https://www.selfedge.com/strike-gold?category_id=63

What’s good in the realm of sweatshirts?

with that said, they're loopwheeled and feel both very sturdy on the exterior but also extremely plush and soft on the interior

What’s good in the realm of sweatshirts?

skimmed through and not sure if your sizing or the brand was mentioned, but i love strike gold sweatshirts. it's a JP brand, so the sizing is on average a size smaller than US/euro sizing, but the cut is also a bit shorter/boxier

Mid-to-high end chinos and OCBDs?

Prefer new. budget is like…idk under 200 for chinos? 150 would be a sweet spot (the ones I listed are all ~150). <120 for shirts. The MiUSA brooks brothers shirts were like 60-70 when buying multiple back in the day, but I don’t think there’s anything comparable these days

“Casual” dressier clothes?

and i'll add that a blazer could be anything more dressy (e.g,. a navy hopsack blazer) to something more casual (e.g., something from TSS or Engineered Garments), to anything in between. just stick w/ something that's unstructured (or minimally structured)
