Sportcoat Fit Check
I’ve been going to my dry cleaner for hemming pants. I think she does sleeves. Should I find someone more specialized in menswear for jacket sleeves, or is it pretty routine?

Feedback for this outfit!
I do like a tucked fit but also depends on the pants. I rarely tuck in my shirts on my low rise and slimmer pants.

Secondhand Tweed Sport Coat
Did some eBay searches last night, and I think these are the best that are available rn. Leaning toward the first LL Bean one.
I realized the inspo pictures are from Drakes. Unfortunately I like their lookbook photos more than my wallet does!

3sixteen
Do 3sixteen pairs need time to break in? Need to replace a lighter wash pair of Levi’s that had a blowout. Always wanted to get a pair from 3sixteen, but this one’s gonna be pretty utilitarian, and I’m gonna bike around a lot in them.

Shopping in Seoul?
I was just in Seoul and was especially impressed by how much Americana there was in the vintage shops. Walking around Hongdae, I saw like 8 small thrift shops with cool items. Omnipeople was especially nice and well organized. Lots of PRL everywhere.
The area around Barbershop Vestis and Parlour also has a ton of cool shops for new clothes. Grabbed a Shetland from there.

Suggestions for cashmere sweater?
Yak wool is a good alternative if you want that soft fluffy feeling. Idk how much more sustainable it is, but it’s not contributing to overgrazing (yet).
Second the merino though. I have a $100 merino cable knit that I like more than my $400 Italian cashmere sweater.

What kind of haircut is this?
I’d keep in mind that the highlights and probably some hair product are doing a lot to create that texture. My thick wavy black hair is not gonna give that effect if I get that exact cut, for example. Something else you can ask your barber about tho.

IMO merino is better as a fabric anyway. I like wearing my merino sweaters more than my ~$300 cashmere. Plus more options and looks, especially if you like chunkier cable or fisherman knits.
I have a $100 j crew cashmere, and it’s not bad - it’ll last years I’m sure - but it pills fast and idk, feels kinda weird? Like too warm and too cold at the same time?

J Crew
Just start with searching J Crew Bowery pants on eBay. Pay attention to measurements carefully, and any notes on wear. J Crew is pretty abundant. Should find something in your size, especially if you’re not very picky about pattern or specific details.

Uniqlo SUPIMA Cotton T-Shirt Alternative?
The Front general store lightweight tees have a shorter hem, I noticed. You could also go to a tailor - might be cheaper and/or faster than tracking down a brand that has exactly what you want

High rise corduroy pants!?
Plus one to eBay. I just went looking for a pair myself. Made a saved search and checked it once in a while, and got a lands end pair for $40ish. Probably could have gotten a cheaper one if I was quicker on some of the used ones I saw.
