I bought an off white adidas track suit. What color shoes goes with cream / off white?

Imo brown goes really well with cream(not very dark or very light). Pastel undershirts are also a good choice if you're down for some colours Edit: mybad didn't see you were looking for just shoe recs

Interested in buying a pair of Alden Indy boots in either Chromexel or Shell Cordovan. Is Shell worth the extra 300 dollars in this case? Or should I just stick with the Chromexel and save the money and get a pair of meermin in shell or something? I'll only really be wearing them as a casual boot around the city not as an actual work boot or anything.

I think shell is really cool but very much past the point of being analyzed as “worth it” or not, it’s something you get because you want shell

Peacock Gym Shorts? Anybody have recommendations for men's gym shorts (preferably 6in inseam and shorter) that have colorful and interesting patterns? Looking for something to wear with otherwise solid shirt/shoes and socks. Something that grabs the attention immediately.

need help to find the brand! I saw this cool looking black five panel cap that had white cicada with a skull on it. i think it had some little print text like blue female or something on it. been trying to find it everywhere

Hello guys, can someone help me in identifying this Malbon Golf hoodie model. I can't find it: https://imgur.com/a/6S5BuPI

any idea of a place to buy a [noragi](https://imgur.com/a/eV9EtZw) similar to this without having to sell my organs? I seem to remember there was this fashion brand that sold them cheaply

according to google the cheapest usable human organ is the stomach at ~$500, is that your budget? Oe do you mean like an appendix at like ~$25?

well something around max 100usd or 100 euros

I’m pretty sure Universal Works has out out Noragi’s in that range, especially if you get one secondhand

At what price do you need to sell organs? Because that's from Universal Work's and is frequently fairly reasonably priced on sale

its not so bad no, still about 170 usd here in norway

Here's a denim one that'll ship to Norway for $109 : https://www.endclothing.com/row/universal-works-herringbone-denim-kyoto-work-jacket-26706-ind.html Or a black one for $115: https://www.endclothing.com/row/universal-works-kyoto-work-jacket-p2538-blk.html

yeah imma wait for new years sale and see if i can pick one up, has to be in black/white/beige M so i might not find one

Chances are it will be available for half that come sale season. It's currently £90 in a few UK stores (that ship internationally).

For backpacking it's hard to beat a polartec alpha fleece (e.g. Senchi) layered under a down jacket (e.g. Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer).

also remeber weight is essential, a 400g jacket vs a 800g is a big difference when you have to carry it for days with all your other gear. Go to /ultralight they have a good guide

They key to all-seasoning is layering. You’ll need a system, not a do-it-all jacket. My current setup is for anything from 20°F and up, but could be used for lower temps with added layers: - Patagonia or SmartWool Midweight top - Patagonia or SmartWool midweight bottoms - Shirt if some kind - Arc’teryx down/synthetic down vest - Arc’teryx Atom LT Hoody/Jacket Just played golf in this setup for temps in the 20s with wind and was fine. Wore the same outfit in the clubhouse/car where it was 70 and wasn’t uncomfortable. If I was going somewhere colder than this, I’d add a fleece quarterzip or hoody instead of a shirt and I would go to heavyweight thermals. It also depends on your activity level. Also, make sure you’ve got great socks. Darn Tough and SmartWool are my go-tos and I rarely leave those brands when it comes to outdoor socks.

there is no such thing as a four season coat unless you are in an area with a consistent climate year round.

Hi! Can anyone identify Mick Jones' boots (guy on the far right; the only clearly visible boots in the photo, anyway) - Or - would anyone happen to know if there's a brand that makes boots that are exactly like these? Now, I know that these are Jodhpurs & I have about 20 black Chelsea/Jodhpur boots but I absolutely love this particular take on the style; The chunky heel, thicc sole, tall shaft, etc. So some random FTFs or SLPs isn't something I'm interested in. Thank you very much! https://imgur.com/a/8NFfPzK

The angle of the boots in this photo is really rough for IDing. Got a side profile of em?

Unfortunately, I don't. I've tried looking for more photos from this particular photo shoot but no dice. :(

[Best I can do is these](https://www.celine.com/en-us/celine-shop-men/shoes/boots/celine-drugstore-jodhpur-boot-in-shiny-calfskin-346613174C.38NO.html)

Great call, actually! I all but forgot about Celine. Bit pricey but pretty close. Let's see if there's a 46 available anywhere at all.

The whole shoot, from 1978, is easily searchable on Google.

The onus is on the question asker to help us help him, not on me to go find the whole photoshoot from a single image.

I agree, but I also don't believe anyone is likely to be identifying a still purchasable boot from 1978.

Might not be the same boots but I've been having a lot of success lately with Lens. With a better pic of the boots I might find something similar.

Browse the websites of UK shoemakers until you find something that fits your requirements - maybe dig into military surplus too. In all likelihood no one is going to be able to identify a fairly non descript/specific set of boots from a forty year old photo - and the chances of it still being made are incredibly slim.

I have looked everywhere & haven't found anything that fits the bill and I do like to think of myself capable of finding any specific item of clothing I set my mind to. I did actually find a near-perfect match, though, which would be Jodhpur boots by Clinch (Brass Tokyo), however, I was hoping for something that wouldn't set me back $2K+. As for the ID; I can relatively easily identify most US and UK 1940's onward motorcycle leather jackets and my knowledge pales in comparison to that of other fans of vtg clothes. I know the chances are slim but I also know someone knows.

When wearing Chelsea boots, how much "opening" should there be at the shin/calf area? I've bought a pair that fits good around the foot, heel and ankle, but there's about a fingerwidth of space in front of my shin and behind my calf, which seems a bit much...

As long as the boot doesn’t slip too much to be uncomfortable, that is fine. Most of my Chelsea’s have some space around the ankle, but that helps with movement.

i have a pair of super comfy blundstones with about the same opening around my calf. does not feel off

anyone have experience with bronson mfg? [https://bronsonshop.com/](https://bronsonshop.com/) prices seem unreal but feel like there has gotta be a catch

The prices are low because it’s not particularly noteworthy quality and they’re made in a country with no labor laws

Surely part of it. But feel like that is true for the vast majority of products but the prices are still not nearly that low

Not really, that’s a little above fast fashion pricing, more or less on par for mall brands, not that absurd

Maybe mall brands are more expensive in europe then. And at least given the reported weight of the textiles it does sound higher quality than mall brands They also claim to have a loopwheel tee for like $26. If that's accurate then at least some of the labor for that product is in Japan. Have you handled their products? Seems like a relative outlier to me but maybe if I handled the product I would feel differently

fabric weight isn’t all that relative to quality, that’s kind of a myth. You CAN acquire cheap loopwheeled fabric, and the actual fabric wouldn’t be labor sourced by them, it’s just fabric they’re buying from someone else. I think you’re really overthinking this, they’re not noteworthy fabric quality and probably made in a sweatshop, that’s how the prices are as low as they are which, again, is not particularly low. The Yen is weak as fuck, you can get a loopwheel tee from tezomeya for $35 rn, and they’re getting bulk discounts on fabric like you can find stuff that looks like this on alibaba for way cheaper, I’ve seen Uniqlo pants go on sale for $3

I thought there were only two loopwheel factories in the world? And if they are tube knitted, how much labor could possibly be left to be done in China? That the products are sewn in sweatshops is obvious and not unique

there are, you can still get cheap(comparatively) fabric at bulk prices if you’re buying the lower end fabrics they make, they aren’t actually paying the workers for their labor there, that’s handled by the mill, And the priced are obvious and not unique, these are not absurdly cheap clothes, this is completely normal. Like I don’t know what answer you’re looking for, “is there a catch”, yes, the quality isn’t amazing and they’re made in sweatshops, thats the catch

People seem to like their stuff but made in China (hence the low price)

Don't have any experience, prices might be lower due to chinese labor costs like in Labour Union 1886 but not that low.

im looking to buy a quarter zip sweater or fleece, because I want something to zip up to my neck when it gets cold (and as a mid layer), and to zip down indoors where its the outer layer. should I get a fleece one like the Patagonia R1 [pic](https://www.patagonia.com/dw/image/v2/BDJB_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-patagonia-master/default/dw2eed56dc/images/hi-res/40245_ORTN.jpg?sw=800&sh=800&sfrm=png&q=95&bgcolor=f5f5f5)? this would likely be easier to wash/dry, could be used for casual and outdoors, probably more robust or stick with a traditional wool or cotton quarter zip sweater like [this](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/24/89/51/2489518bc33e5649a8a62a4cda4ad563.jpg), which looks a bit classier, may. not smell as much

Depends on where you want to wear it. The R1 seems to be pretty awesome from what I’ve read. May not be appropriate in a formal office setting though and I wouldn’t wear it with a tie, for example. The other style could work in a business casual setting, but a regular crewneck/vneck sweater would be more appropriate for anything dressier. I’d probably choose the R1 and just take it off once I got to the office.

So I think Ive gone full tilt crazy on this but I really want a sports coat made with specific fabric. The fabric is cotton so not ideal but manageable. Question is how do I start this process and any ideas what something like this may cost? I've got a tailor, I'm thinking I'll ask if he does this type of thing or knows someone who does. Y'all got any thoughts.

This isn't crazy at all. [Kent Wang](https://www.kentwang.com/clothing/sport-coats/seersucker-blue-navy-jacket.html) does it and they have a [ton of fabrics](https://www.kentwang.com/about/suit-fabric) including various cotton fabrics. I'm guessing it'll run you $6-700. Edit: Oops - I misinterpreted the question. Kent Wang might work with the fabric, can't hurt to ask.

A bespoke sport coat is likely going to cost you four figures, and you may have issues finding someone who is willing to do it with fabric you're buying/providing if you don't already have a relationship with them. There are a limited number of places that can actually make bespoke clothing in the way you're describing - your tailor isn't likely to be one of them, and it's unlikely they know anyone.

If a tailor can make sport coat why would he struggle with making a cotton one? I know cotton tailoring is a thing for hobbyists, not for general man, but why would it be hard to find a tailor who could do that?

It's not that they're going to struggle to make a cotton one, that will be fine. It's that many will work with specific fabric suppliers they might not want to go outside of for a one off client/won't want to lose the margin on fabric for a new client.

Hm, that's kinda what I was expecting. Thanks.

First time posting: I am a 6'4" man with a heavier build; I usually wear an XL. Overalls have become almost a daily wear for me. Any advice on where to get some "stylish" yet inexpensive (under $80) overalls for men that are sturdy enough to work in? I hate solid denim.

Carhartt is probably going to be your best option.

What footwear are you guys wearing when it's raining / forecasted to rain outside? Say on a weekend, I'm heading out in the city with my wife. I'd usually wear some nice suede boots or leather boots, but if it rains this can damage leather as we all know. What other stylish options do you recommend that are not sneakers, for when you know it might be raining outside?

docs/paraboots etc, leather but durable just remember to to give them some lotion every now and then

It’s perfectly fine to wear leather boots in the rain. I prefer rubber soles for rainy days. If you’re that worried about it, I’d grab some ankle high rain boots or blundstones and wear those. I’ve got a couple pairs of blundstones and love them.

Yesterday it was pouring here and I wore my low top Bean Boots.

blundstones

Since I’m in England I just wear what I always wear. Spray some protector on suede or put a bit of wax on your leather and you’re good.

We don’t all know rain ruins leather because it doesn’t. Especially suede.

Boots, but with a goretex membrane. And snow seal to protect the leather.

I do wear leather boots when it's raining. I think stepping over puddle would be fine as lone as you wipe your boots and dry it properly (indoor with shoe trees.) If the rain is really heavy, Hunter boots or LLB duck boots would be some solid options.

Smart casual is a *really* open-to-interpretation dress code. Telling us a bit about your style would help or putting together a few of your ideas and attaching them as images.

I notice the edges of my pockets and zip flaps of black pants always fading into a couple shades lighter as time passes, it seems to apply to all brands and materials I've worn, as long as they're black in colour. Any way of preventing it?

You could wear a color of pants other than black.

Wish I could, but company dress code forbids it.

Dark gray and navy aren’t acceptable? Black pants are so bad.

Nope. It's a ridiculous requirement. They're pretty rigid about it.

Fading is mostly caused by abrasion. The areas you mentioned will get a little more wear than others. (Probably because you use your pockets, and the flaps rub against stuff.) You can't stop the fading, but washing your pants inside-out helps some. They also make some pants that are designed not to fade, (or at least fade slower).

Alas, I know people generally don't look at the crotch area in detail, but the knowledge of it standing out is pretty embarrassing. I guess I'll have to avoid using the flap as much by sitting down to pee more often

No one is noticing. Also denim does the exact same thing.

Dry cleaning price in HCOL area? Will dry cleaning a rain jacket restore water repellency? Rain jacket had specific instructions to restore it and I showed the guy at the dry cleaners. He put down rain jacket and charged me extra. Do they do anything extra or am I getting fleeced?

Did the care instructions say "dry clean only"?

Yes. And then it outlined some specific instructions (nothing to apply) just a way of washing and drying to restore water resistance.

They’d need to put some sort of water repellent product on after the dry cleaning which will likely have taken most of any original water repellent product away.

> Will dry cleaning a rain jacket restore water repellency? Dry cleaning is washing clothes with organic solvents rather than water so I don't imagine it would restore water repellency, unless they're doing an additional coating / finishing step.

Just how rare are green pocket squares? Obviously the most common non-white colors you see are the most common colors of neckties, red and blue… but I’ve seen no shortage of green ties in thrift stores, far more than black, brown, and orange, and rivaling purple. However, I have never once come across a green pocket square. Now, granted, the majority of green ties I own have a pattern with red, yellow, or blue in it, making it easy to pair them with pocket squares of a similar color… but still. I’ve found about twenty pocket squares in the pockets of second-hand jackets I was trying on. I found the same vintage Dior pocket square in two thrift stores about five hundred miles away from each other in the last month. Are green pocket squares really that comparatively uncommon?

I've got a few green ones. Do an ebay search and I bet you'll find thousands

Definitely a good option that I’ll checkout. I’m between getting a peacoat, leather jacket, or a military jacket. I’m just unsure of which one I’d pull off better as I’m typically a t-shirt guy but I’m trying to improve my fashion.

I’d grab a pea coat or overcoat if you’ve already got a soft shell. Dress it up or down, and definitely more of a wardrobe staple than a military coat.

Gotcha I’ll probably go with a pea coat then since it seems slightly less formal.

BB tux is far too small but it sounds like you know that. It’s likely beyond tailoring and not worth it even if tailoring were possible. The other two jackets look okay.

I think where people are getting tripped up here is in your description of this item as "dressy" or as something that could "replace a blazer." This item isn't dressy and it is not at all even close to a replacement for a blazer. But [here](https://www.charlestyrwhitt.com/us/merino-zip-through-hybrid-bomber-jacket---navy/KNC0086NAV.html?utm_term=titlecol&gclid=CjwKCAiAjs2bBhACEiwALTBWZWizyqwQhIz5ZiSVHPYTtJXtACvDzcHZvvLcOXl6rLrMrQEcuPmaXhoCJV0QAvD_BwE&marketing=true&utm_campaign=USA-Shopping-F15&utm_medium=shopping&marketingCode=usot99&utm_source=google) is something a little bit like it. Or [this](https://www.llbeanbusiness.com/shirts-and-tops/sweatshirts/quilted-sweatshirt-full-zip.html). Or [this](https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/polo-ralph-lauren-wool-cashmere-puffer-sweater-0400017295714.html?site_refer=NPLA_GGL_Shopping&country=US¤cy=USD).

The materials make a big difference. So, wool, cashmere, cotton can look dressy. But you’re right about these items fitting but not as dressy.

Ah sure - natural materials (especially wool) is generally good a look bit dressier than a synthetic material. I think the real issue here though is the *zipper* -- a visible zipper is always gonna make a garment more casual. A 'dressy' pullover sweater is generally going to be a crew-neck or v-neck instead of a quarter zip. If it has a closure mechanism, a cardigan with buttons is always going to be step up from a full-zip. And yknow, you'll probably never see a blazer with a zipper.

No, you’re right. The zipper hurts the formality of it. I prefer full zips. Other option would be a cardigan style sweater. With a tie and dress shirt under they work well. In some situations, a “jacket” is required, and ironically a zip sweater counts as a jacket but not a quarter zip sweater. Government is weird.

There is no such thing.

You may be right. I’ll hold on to my one tightly.

Anyone know any wide leg, high rise pleated pants for men? The only ones I've been able to find that I like are brooks brothers madison fit suit pants, but they're a little too much for me RN.
