2015 Clothing Resolutions

[Russell Street]

I resolve to:

• stop getting stuff that is an attractive price and focus on essentials of impeccable quality and practical style, then suck up the price.
• Bespoke: I should get a pair of gray flannel trousers, some lighter gray trousers of some sort for warmer months, and maybe some springy coat in a lighter blue.
• A massive Manhattan trip:
  • Kamakura
  • JJ Hat Center
  • Moulded Shoe to see if Aldens in some special order last will work
  • maybe CEGO
• Get a tab collar shirt and work on the single link cuff idea somehow.

No more cops just because it was cheap.

• A massive Manhattan trip:
  • Kamakura

Very underrated brand, imo. I love both of my Kamakura shirts.

Where do you live?

Like an hour away, Northern New Jersey. Massive meaning more like stuff packed into a day than any great venture.

Agreed. I have a couple dozen of their shirts

I AINT BUYING SHIT

 

[robertito]

- new pair of loafers
2 - sport coats
- 6 new shirts
3 new trousers

maybe a new pair of shoes towards the middle of the year.

As for the place where to buy. I live in a place where tailoring is very cheap (Tailors are not from Bangladesh but not far away...so I will have the trousers and shirts made and I am thinking even the sports coats. If that were the case I would give one of my jackets to be copied.....if not I will buy Boglioli or Lardini as they fit me quite well off the rack

Don't be dissing Canadian formal wear

The faded one is a GENUINE Made in Australia 70s Levi jacket. You'll be the only bloke in Canuckistan to have one!

that would be a wonderful score. however, i do not have cause to purchase any formal wear. i avoid such events like the plague

 

[Dropbear]

No more punts on cheap shit listed on eBay. I've had a couple of spectacular wins and a whole lot of disappointed flips.

 

[fxh]

My stuff isn't on ebay - its just cheap shit on here.

 

[LelandJ]

Tired of wearing fake suits. Need to find real casual suits with regular to wide hems.

 

[LelandJ]

It's a difficult resolution because the Pitti 7" hems disease has been infecting all fashion houses recently, and I'm not looking for trad business style brands.
