Modern tailor shirt arrived today, I'm impressed that the postman managed to stuff it through the post box opening!
Fairly disappointed tbh, sleeves are a good inch too small (I'll have to fire the person that measured me , along with the sleeves; the shoulders are a touch too narrow, armholes and waist are too big.) so it's hard to really judge the rest objectively, but material is meh, plastic buttons, double needle stitching, would have preferred the final buttonhole to be horizontal, seems to be a flaw in the construction of one of the shoulders, also I had the inside of the collar monogrammed but the big "tailorsmark.com" label take away from it slightly!
I suppose you get what you pay for (where else would you get a €50 MTM shirt) but I wouldn't really be in a rush back with improved measurements/

I got poplin and tweed shirts this time around - noticeably better than the dobby and Lacoste weaves I got first time. Happy with mine."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Ah yeah all the sizing is obv 100% my (helper's ) fault, it's just I don't wear shirts in regular use so I'd rather pay for 4/5 really top notch products that I'm really happy with, you're not really getting (or paying!) that with MT.Last edited by Denny Crane; 01-04-15, 16:46.

There's some crowd in Italy that Simon Crompton recommends that do great bespoke shirts that would suit a guy with your build. Check out permanent style if you were heading to Milan for whatever reason.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

tkmaxx can be class, have seen plenty of designer clothes up to 100-500 euro off but it's rather hit and miss bin diving Drives me mad how the trousers that are left are always too long for me but I think you are taller than me. You just have to be lucky with a fit.
Savile row suit trousers were 20e there the last day.

So I've been thinking off and on about pulling the trigger on a really high quality leather briefcase and a portfolio. Two contenders in the ring at what I think are very competitive prices given the quality of the materials and workmanship.
Saddleback here http://www.saddlebackleather.com/briefcasethin?quantity=1&custcol2=Chestnut&custcol 3=Pigskin&custcol15=Current
Or Linjer here.
http://www.linjer.co/collections/sho...iefcase-cognac
I really like the Linjer folio
http://www.linjer.co/collections/sho...rtfolio-cognac
They are doing a deal on indiegogo which makes a combo purchase even more attractive.
Any views or alternatives I should consider? Sorry Tar its gotta be real leather for me.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

My manbag is a WWII medic bag, pretty hipster. I also have a GoT one.
This kinda thing:
I'll have a look for that cheers. The wallet does feel class, like some dead wine cork is caressing my hands. It was pretty dear though, maybe 50-60ish?

Tommy in Boylans picked up a big batch of great shoes at a good discount recently (due to another store ordering too much stuff and not being able to shift them).
Bottom line is Ive just picked up a pair of black Chelsea Church boots for 350 and dark brown suede double monk anniversary edition barkers for 150. Easily 650+ elsewhere.

Where can I buy jeans/chinos that fit non anorexic legs? I've a 32 inch waist, but my arse/quads can't get into most 32 inch trousers. Anything with "skinny" in the name does not go on me. Simple.
However, I don't want baggie trousers. What styles are worth looking at? Any sites worth a look?
ASOS options for jeans include "Skinny", "Slim", "Super Skinny" and "Extreme Super Skinny", all of which are out of scope I'd reckon!

Looking at buying a versatile suit for weddings and other events. I'm assuming a light to mid coloured grey would be the way to go?
Thinking is that I'd have options to go black shoes/belt or brown shoes/belt and would have a few options for different colour shirts. This the right way to go?
Comment

The most versatile colour to get a suit in is gray or navy, so I would definitely go with grey if you are just buying one suit. Walnut/brown and grey is the best combination of colours for a suit imo, however you have to think about your tie. For instance if you were wearing a black tie to something you would have to wear a black belt and shoe. Also depends on the occasion, you wear darker shoes for more formal occasions, something at least as dark as your suit etc, so either a dark brown or black shoe with a charcoal suit in such situations, but lighter shoes for summer/lighter occasions.

Is there any reasons to go two piece over three piece and vice versa?

Very versatile and you don't look like a 3 piece hipster trying too hard. A clean crisp well fitted shirt, block colour tie with a bit of texture, good belt and solid shoes matching the belt. Black is easiest and most versatile. Make sure the shoes are gleaming.
Light grey works better in summer but is a bitch for picking up dirt and hard to get the right coat to go with in spring/autumn and just looks wrong in winter.
My 2nd suit colour after navy would be charcoal grey. A 3 piece only suits the slimmer gent and at the cheaper end of the market you risk looking like a Conor McGregor wannabe.
Edit to add: if your looking for attention and are in good nick go for an Italian slim cut blue suit. It can really pop if you are a younger gent in trim condition.Last edited by V for Vendetta; 26-06-15, 21:29.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Don't get a 3 piece tehse are often seen as power business suits (impactful) or cheap. It's hard to go from knowing nothing about suits to rocking a 3-piece. Believe me it gets complicated fashion wise, down to what your buttons are and what buttons you can leave fastened depending on your cuff...and when so keep it simple for now
here is a guide for you to start off, not perfect but v good for beginning.

What's a good hat to wear in a bit of heat?
Don't like baseball hats due to lack of personal chaviness.
Is there a decent website where you can see a decent collection of somewhat stylish summer hats?
I guess hats outside the summer are a big fashion no-no unless you are 90+ years old?
Quite like hats, but never really considered them before.
Hats outside summer are fine, you just wear different hats.
