What outfit to go with these Red Wings for a college campus?
You should obviously decide for yourself, if you like the shirts your work/school gives you then go for it.
I just think wearing a shirt that everyone around you knows that just got for free makes it look like you don’t really care about your shirt and are just wearing it because it’s the clean shirt you had available.
But it probably depends on the specifics of the shirt.

Graphic tshirts could be fine but I would recommend against wearing free T-shirts.

Cheap sunglasses
I like goodr. Their ad copy is insane but you can get decent wayfarer style glasses for like $25. They are polarized and more comfortable than some of the other cheap and hold up to scratches pretty well.

Does it make any sense to wear ties?
I wore a tie recently for the first time (not including suit occasions like weddings, and funerals) I thought it looked good and I’ll do it again even though I’m the only person at my work in one. It’s nice to have the option to do it or not

How often do you wash your clothes?
I think a lot of this is also personal. I work in an air conditioned building and I don’t sweat that much. So unless I spill coffee on myself I’m usually fine to rewear a shirt multiple times.

How often do you wash your clothes?
I’m not sure I dress that nice. But mostly I change as soon as I get home, which keeps work and kids clothes separate. I also do a lot of workwear which looks good a little grungy.

How often do you wash your clothes?
I do a lot of laundry but that’s mostly because I have kids. If it was just me I’d probably end up around one load a week. We wash the kids clothes every time because they are always filthy.

How often do you wash your clothes?
Underwear tshirts and socks: every-time
Shirts: every few times or when visibly dirty.
Pants: when they are dirty or smelly, usually every 6 wears or so (but I have kids so dirty happens fast)

Lengthening jacket sleeves
A tailored jacket usually has extra fabric at the cuff folded inside the lining. I doubt you can do much with that jacket. And the cost would probably be higher than it is worth.

Alteration for Tall People
For pants a lot of workwear brands will have at least some tall stuff, a quick search shows 32x38 and 32x36 on Levi and wrangler.
Shirts might be tougher. If you don’t have anything that fits to measure one option could be to go to a tailor and get measured before you buy anything and then at least you have an idea on size and the tailor could give an idea of what can be corrected and what can’t.

Wool washing liquid UK?
Also, don’t use a dryer. you want to air dry, flat if possible . If it comes out of the wash super wet you can get some water out by wrapping it tightly in a towel, but don’t wring or twist it. Then lay it flat somewhere, ideal on a rack.

Suit Advice for Wedding?
In general you should plan on getting a suit altered/tailored. A pretty common alteration is to adjust the sleeve length. It is simple/cheap and helps the fit a lot. Normally the tailor just moves the buttons after adjusting the sleeve lengths, because the buttons are just decorative.
However if the suit has real button holes you can’t adjust the length of the sleeve without the buttons being too close or too far from the end. So in general real button holes make the garment less adjustable.
Maybe you’re lucky and the sleeves are perfect off the rack but that is unlikely.

Just an FYI For blundstones half sizes are wide widths. So “going down a half size” means going from for example a 9D to an 8E

Filson vs Buck Mason?
I think filson is more of an outdoors/ranch/workwear brand. They got their start selling to logger and miners in the PNW and Alaska. Buck mason is more of a fashion brand.
Like those tin cloth pants are cool but they are definitely made as work wear (you can’t wash them) so just keep that in mind.

Is This Oxford or Pinpoint?
I’m pretty sure pinpoint is just a type of Oxford usually with a higher thread count/finer thread. That one looks a little coarser so it’s probably not a pinpoint Oxford.
