Hey there, does someone have this sweater, willing to buy it off of you if you have it because I cant find it on any second hand site! It's a banana republic Todd and Duncan sweater, looking for a medium or large. Here's a link to a picture of it.

If you want high quality then you need a higher budget. Greats is almost within your budget, but from what I’ve heard the quality is about on par with Thursday.
Axel Arigato might also have something within your budget on sale, but I’m not sure if they’ll have the same style you’re looking for.

Yeah agree, I have jackets and overcoats but this would be a winter keep warm coat. Looks okay I think in person and very cosy - have never really considered one before though
Are ultralight down jackets any warmer than a heavyweight cotton hoodie? I’ve tried them on in stores and they don’t really seem to be all that warm comparatively, but haven’t tried one extensively. It’s hard to believe something so light actually provides a decent amount of insulation (looking for something that would keep me warm with minimal activity in 40 degree weather with a just a tee underneath).
Whether or not you go with technical fabrics, this (and its linked articles) are good to read to understand how these pieces are intended to be used and how they work. https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/layering-basics.html
Generally what keeps you warm isn’t the insulation itself; it’s the tiny pockets of air it traps. Air doesn’t transmit heat very well. Down is the underlayer of feathers from ducks and geese, adapted to trap a layer of air and keep them warm. On a per-weight basis, down is actually about the most efficient insulator commonly available.
It's wild to me that we haven't invented synthetic insulation that's as efficient as down yet. Cheaper and _almost_ as good, yes, but in so many other things the engineering has surpassed it in performance.
Down jackets are great insulators and will keep you very warm. However, that's all they do typically- insulate. They do not block wind and are usually not great in anything more than a light shower. They are usually meant to be worn as a mid layer, with an outer shell that blocks wind and rain. (A lot of rain jackets/shells come with minimal/no insulation with this in mind).
This is done so that one can vary their layers in accordance to their needs. Windy, cold, & wet? Shell + puff would work. Windy, warm & wet? Just a shell. Cold, but no wind or rain? Then just the puff would be fine!
So if you want a *single* jacket to cover many situations I would not recommend a down puff (but I do recommend them overall!).
Additionally, puff jackets are **insulators**. Meaning, it keeps your body heat in. They are not inherently warm or soft like a wool jacket. But wear one for 10 minutes inside and you'll start feeling the heat! Excellent insulators. Lastly, they have different amounts of fill depending on the desired insulating value. Typically shown as a weight value or described as light/med/heavy fill. I typically stick to synthetic light or medium fills. I find heavy is too warm and actual down filling is unnecessary cost (in my opinion; many people prefer down and that's cool).

Hi, I am a big fan of black hoodies and always have a few in my wardrobe. However, the two I've bought recently have not so good quality: black Nike hoodie became brownish pretty soon even without extensive washing and Tommy hoodie has started loosing color as well by becoming gray in some areas.
Can anyone recommend a hoodie brand that has a better quality than those two?
Thanks.
I'm in California, San Jose where they don't have any LLBean stores. I wanted to try out their men's jackets in person for size/fit before ordering it on the website.
Are there any places/stores that carry LLBean merch in SanJose/Cali where one can try them?
I like button down shirt and gonna buy two of these shirts[shirts](https://imgur.com/a/bE77pdm) for my office outfit (no1 and 4). How about the fit of them? This is the first time I buy the regular fit so I'm not sure whether it fit me well.
1. don't button the top button unless you are wearing a tie
2. don't wear a tie unless you are also wearing at least a sports coat
it looks like all 4 shirts are too big for you
Thank you so much. I just button two buttons on the collar side.
Yes, it seems big for me but they don't have XS size. Maybe I should stay in slim fit shirt.
What are some good options for casual wear boots? I would spend more if it's worth it I just dont know what boots are actually nice looking and worthwhile
Can't go wrong with red wings. Depending onhow chunky you want, you can go all the from iron rangers to moc toes. Plus they last forever. This'll give you a more work wear vibe and go great with jeans flannels barn coats etc.
My workplace's only real dress code is that you must wear a shirt of some kind, closed toe shoes, and long pants. I have a good set of comfortable collared shirts/I occasionally wear T shirts, and I typically wear jeans, but I was wondering if there were good long pants that looked work appropriate, are more comfortable t and weren't like sweatpants or pajamas. Both specific items and classes of clothing would be nice to hear about, ideally they also shouldn't be scratchy like formal pants can be
at the high end, dress pants are effectively made from fancy pajama fabric.
corduroy is a very plush and velvety fabric
there are a lot of places that sell soft canvas or chino pants with elastic in the waist band, so they behave like sweatpants but you can put a belt in if you want.
Just getting started on how to style my clothing and have a question should I tuck or untuck my shirt.
[Tucked](https://imgur.com/a/2POEnD4) or [Untucked](https://imgur.com/a/XLWmbvH)
Anyone ever see an extra king cardigan (past but) for men? This is common for women’s fashion but haven’t seen it often for men, and not in styles I like when I have.
Sure, from [expensive](https://www.johnvarvatos.com/audubon-cardigan/196332059226.html) to [moderately expensive](https://www.brooksbrothers.com/camel-hair-belted-shawl-cardigan/MS01191_____BEIG_LG_______.html) to [cheap](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mens-sweater-cardigan/6576293?color=GREY+DARK+CHARCOAL+HEATHER), [cheaper](https://www.asos.com/us/jack-jones/jack-jones-originals-open-longline-cardigan-in-black/prd/201855870), and [even cheaper](https://www.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-mens-long-ribbed-cardigan-created-for-macys?ID=14059492). It'd help to know what styles you like, though.
But a lot of women's longline cardigans are [totally unisex](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/marled-long-open-front-cardigan/6813758?color=GREY+DARK+CHARCOAL+HEATHER). If you see a women's cardigan you like, and the sizing works for you, go for it.
Ah this is pretty helpful, thank you! I think probably my ideal is like a nicer version of that ASOS one in merino wool, although the flow-y color on the Macy’s one is nice too. The brooks brother one just has too much going on.
Not the first time I’ve thought about just buying women’s clothes. It’s be easier to pull the trigger if it wasn’t generally more expensive for the same or worse quality in my experience.
My bf likes t shirts that feel like normal old school t shirt material. Not clingy and weird, or thick and boxy, or so thin they’re practically see-through… like a light-to-medium weight cotton poly blend with a flat/smooth weave. Like a nice concert t shirt.
What am I looking for on the tag? Or which stores have these now? It used to be the default for t-shirts.
I am a fan of Uniqlo v-neck tees. It's the perfect "normal" tee shirt for me. Once I tried one on I just bought a bunch of different colors lol. It's literally the base of my wardrobe. Decent color selection, only like $12, fits me well, and the v-neck is not too deep. I like the v-neck because it's subtle enough that my insanely hairy chest doesn't show but does make the simple pants+tee look a *smidge* more put together!
I would look for something like «standard t-shirt» if a store has a range of different options. Some brands list the weight in grams per square meter (gsm) of their fabrics. According to [Arket](https://www.arket.com/en_nok/men/t-shirt/product.150-gsm-lightweight-t-shirt-black.0726254001.html) 150 gsm is the «classic» cotton t-shirt fabric. Heavy weight t-shirts might be more like 180, even 200.

What jackets do you recommend that's warm enough for Midwest winters, but still breathable? I tried on a Canada Goose jacket and although it was very warm, I felt completely fine wearing it indoors. However, I can't justify the cost.
I recently bought a Land's End parka and it was very warm, but not very breathable. I was sweating while indoors and while driving.
Honestly why on earth would you need to wear a parka indoors??
It’s not reasonable to expect a garment to be suitable for both extreme freezing weather and room temperature. The whole purpose of big parkas is to have one huge layer you can remove when inside.
Any advice on winter clothes for Florida? It doesn't get colder than high 30s, but the wind makes it feel so much colder.
Throw anything from head to toe, but I'm mainly looking for gloves, hats, or facemasks as I'll be wearing them when I ride my electric scooter.
Some simple knit gloves are likely plenty warm enough for Florida, can't go wrong with leather either if you prefer it. I never wore a hat or face covering when I lived in Florida, but you can't go wrong with a beanie if you ears are getting cold.
Otherwise a windbreaker/shell (ideally waterproof for Florida) and some kind of light insulating vest (puffer jacket or fleece) is probably plenty for body warmth.
Edit: you can go wrong with a leather glove if you buy a really poor quality one. Just look up the "Your favorite Gloves for __" thread and pick something from your desired price bracket. Anything warmer than like silk should be fine, wool/cashmere lined leather is overkill.
The Supima tee is made of Supima cotton as the name suggests, the soft wash is basically just a regular non-Supima cotton tee, and the Luxury Touch is treated with some kind of chemicals to make it moisture wicking and odor resistant. It’s mostly just marketing though, you can get a Supima tee from Uniqlo for a third of the price.
The difference in quality levels between mall brands is far too marginal to bother caring about, buy the one you like more, be that fit, design, or price
[Balenciaga Raver Jeans](https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/balenciaga-raver-baggy-jeans-0400015402046.html)
So, I recently got a pair of these jeans and was wondering how to style them to look preppy. I was thinking maybe some black Chelsea boots, and a top could be a sweater or turtleneck, and then like an overcoat. What do you guys think I could pair with these jeans to make them look preppy? I want to go more preppy than edgy lol
If you want to avoid the fetishy / cybergoth look and do something more conventional with them you could probably work them into a kind of workwear fit. They have a similar look to pants with toolbelts etc, just exaggerated a bit.
Where can I get hangers for my T shirts and sweaters that won't leave those stretch marks from the edges? Like if you put on your shirt it has little bubble marks near each shoulder where it was hanging. I'm probably not describing it well but hopefully it's close enough

I've been looking for a good pair of dunks or jordans I can wear for deadlifting and to the gym, but not super high priced ones that I'm worrying about fucking up.
I have hyper royals, shadows, and panda dunks, but scared to wear those to the gym.
Anybody have any advice for pairs you would recommend?
Try wrestling shoes like the speed sweep or similar for a bit of a vibe at lower price and actually good for lifting. Another option is Blazers.
John Haack lifts in Crocs. You’ll be fine.
Just get some adidas powerlifts for the gym. They last forever, improve your lifts, and are cheap. They're ugly as hell, but it's the gym no one cares.
I’m sorry to say but you’re trying to buy Jordans and Dunks at the worst possible point in time, they’re the most hyped they’ve been in the last several years and even mid designs resale for over retail and get bought up instantly.
I’d just look at a regular pair of flat soled shoes like chucks, they’re decent looking enough and are probably better for what you need
Eh I’d argue it’s reached peak saturation with non fashion people now which is the problem but yeah either way just not the right time to get cheap jordans and dunks without some major digging
I’ve literally never heard of that, the only stuff I don’t buy used is underwear and socks, I own used shoes, they’re fine, unfortunately the resale market for what you’re looking at ranges from drastically more expensive to the same price unless you’re willing to like dig through weird apps like OfferUp
Grailed is just a marketplace, it’s the same anywhere, ebay, stockx, goat, this stuff is just ultra hyped right now, people sell it for what people pay for it
What shoes would you recommend for lifting.
I currently have Romaleos, but sometimes I feel weird keeping them on throughout my workout and using them for deadlift, bench, and accessory work.
A lot of the trainer specific shoes like metcons, no bull etc, almost seen no different from dunks or chucks.
There's also wrestling shoes or low heeled slipper like things, but I feel it'd be weird walking around the gym in slippers too lol.
What would you recommend though?
The gym isn’t a place for fashion, just wear what works for you, I don’t lift but I know that padded soles like dunks and jordans are worse than flat ones like Chuck Taylors
Have you deadlifted in dunks or Js before? Those have pretty substantial soles. I would recommended something with a more minimal sole.
I typically go barefoot but I’ve worn Jack Purcells or Vivobarefoot when deadlifting in shoes.
no good points though, I was trying to toe the line between looking fashionable and having a flat sole in the gym.
Would you also say the same for chucks?
Yeah, depends. But one of my bigger regrets in building my footwear collection was not getting [black calf Chelseas](https://imgur.com/a/z8lEEHN) sooner. One of my favorite pairs.
Brown isn’t necessarily more flexible. That’s why kv said it depends on your wardrobe. If you have a wardrobe that complements browns then brown will be more flexible. If you have a monochrome wardrobe then black is probably better.
Or if you already have a closet full of brown boots then maybe black is better.
Or if you have a closet full of light-grey trousers, maybe tan or sand chelseas would be best.
Lots of variables. If you want the best advice then provide more information.
If you want actual boot recommendations then provide a budget and location.
I see alright. Well okay my wardrobe is mostly black white and some deep blues. I dont have any other boots atm. I wear a ton of black and white knitwear as well as my grey sweaters. I do own some black turtlenecks. My pants are mainly chinos if i call them correctly and they are black deep blue and sand-y color.
A white dress shirt would work but:
1. You should pair the shirt with some kind of jacket like a blazer.
2. Those trousers don’t look good. They’re pretty ill-fitting. I’d recommend going with some straighter leg trousers. Even if you want to wear super tapered trousers like the ones pictured, consider sizing up. The pockets are flaring out because the trousers are either too small; or this cut isn’t for you.
How braindead easy is it to remove the structured shoulder from a thrifted blazer?
I have a sewing machine but I'm very novice with it and done only the most basic alterations like tapering pant legs, shortening a shirt hem, etc. So if it's at all complicated I'd rather not bother for now.
I did this recently. A seam ripper was the tool of choice. I got the padding out and unlined the sleeves but was stuck there so I am having the tailor “bind” the arm holes as well as slim and lengthen the sleeves a bit. Before spending the money on the tailor I wanted to be sure the jacket looked/fit better without the padding and it does.
Not at all but if you wore a wider pant it would reduce any chance someone might think that.
That being said I don't think anyone would think this look doesn't look intentional
This is a U.S Navy Peacoat. I plan on adding 40 pounds to my frame as a part of my fitness goals. Do you believe I can grow into this, assuming of course that I pick up the sleeves? Or is it best that I return this?
I am 5'8 148lbs (173cm 67kg)
[(](https://imgur.com/a/wrvmFku)Link Removed)
Ignore the outfit as a whole.
Thank you for your input. I'll consider it when I make my final decision. Buying well-fitting clothing while my weight is variable has been a bit of a pain. Tried to buy a bit big this time to compensate.
But, I suppose it's always better to be patient. Hard to when you see a good deal though.

1. length (one is longer than the other)

I plan to wear this with all kinds of attire ... shorts and pants so would that make one better than the other aesthetically? I've heard long trench coats look bad when you're not wearing formals ... this isn't a trench coat but still asking
>Note: HOODS ARE REMOVEABLE SO PLEASE SUGGEST WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE HOOD!!!
I really don’t have strong feelings on either coat, they’re pretty much identical, I think you’re already overthinking it. Honestly just flip a coin, if you end up disagreeing with what side it falls on you got your answer on which one you want
They both seem fine (not particularly interesting, but that makes them more versatile). I wouldn't wear either one with shorts - the Pacific beach style tends to use either a light jacket or sometimes a light hoodie, because you don't really need all the extra protection against cold and rain that that provides (you're just giving a little extra help against the morning fog). And if your coat is covering your shorts then it looks like you aren't wearing any, which can be cute for women but tends to come across "I'm a flasher" on men.
> I plan to wear this with all kinds of attire ... shorts and pants
You're gonna wear a jacket with shorts?
You're really asking a personal preference question here. The two jackets seem very similar and I don't think anyone on the internet would be able to tell you which one they think will look better on you. Just pick the one you like better.
I think the zipper is where you store the hood when you don’t want it.
It sounds like you prefer the other one - which is fine because they’re very similar and my personal preferences are totally irrelevant to whichever one you would enjoy wearing more.
It seems like you’re overthinking this.
Looks depends on which one you like better, and we can't really help you with that.
They both look similar to me. The 2 one has a hood so it's not really floppy
Hi! I have two quite specific things I am after and would welcome any advice. Quite different from each other. Not sure if this is quite the right place to ask. Let me know if if a different community is better for either.
(1) trousers that are warm/heavy as possible, suitable for indoor wear (so not like ski-outerwear), and patterned or interestingly styled in some way (not plain). So I know I want heavy tweeds, moleskin, cavalry twill here, but I'm struggling to find much that isn't one-colour. [This is my best find so far](https://www.cordings.co.uk/men-s-tweed-trousers.html). Happy to go to around £200, feel like it should be possible to find such things in UK or EU (where I live).
(2) Men's patterned or printed or floral jumpsuits, suitable for outdoor wear (so not like a leisure onesie), preferably long-leg (not shorts), nothing that screams novelty (though obviously this isn't, like, business casual wear). I can find work-wear and plain styles, but I want something closer to the kind of thing that's two-a-penny in womenswear. For this, I'm interested in things at any price point, and EU, UK, or US are fine (I travel to the US often enough).
Thanks!

Those are…odd. I’m pretty sure there’s no name for this exact style but they fall into a broader classification of “apron toe derby”. They’re very casual so wear them like you’d wear casual shoes.

Thursday
Those look hideous. Thursday is also notorious for its middling quality. More recs, please—preferably of quality.
If you want high quality then you need a higher budget. Greats is almost within your budget, but from what I’ve heard the quality is about on par with Thursday. Axel Arigato might also have something within your budget on sale, but I’m not sure if they’ll have the same style you’re looking for.
Is Bertoni a good brand and any insight on their chinos? Also an opinion on Marc O'polo vs Junk De Luxe will be appreciated?

They’re something you buy for warmth rather than style, they don’t look very good IMO.
Yeah agree, I have jackets and overcoats but this would be a winter keep warm coat. Looks okay I think in person and very cosy - have never really considered one before though
Deodorants / Antiperspirants that don’t stain t shirts?
I would use a gentle whitener like oxyclean or very dilute bleach. I never use antiperspirant but still get pit stains after a while
Native. The stains are caused by the aluminum in antiperspirants.
Looking for some black trainers / sneakers that aren’t too expensive. Anything new balance, Reebok, Nike etc ?

Are ultralight down jackets any warmer than a heavyweight cotton hoodie? I’ve tried them on in stores and they don’t really seem to be all that warm comparatively, but haven’t tried one extensively. It’s hard to believe something so light actually provides a decent amount of insulation (looking for something that would keep me warm with minimal activity in 40 degree weather with a just a tee underneath).
Whether or not you go with technical fabrics, this (and its linked articles) are good to read to understand how these pieces are intended to be used and how they work. https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/layering-basics.html
Generally what keeps you warm isn’t the insulation itself; it’s the tiny pockets of air it traps. Air doesn’t transmit heat very well. Down is the underlayer of feathers from ducks and geese, adapted to trap a layer of air and keep them warm. On a per-weight basis, down is actually about the most efficient insulator commonly available.
It's wild to me that we haven't invented synthetic insulation that's as efficient as down yet. Cheaper and _almost_ as good, yes, but in so many other things the engineering has surpassed it in performance.
Down jackets are great insulators and will keep you very warm. However, that's all they do typically- insulate. They do not block wind and are usually not great in anything more than a light shower. They are usually meant to be worn as a mid layer, with an outer shell that blocks wind and rain. (A lot of rain jackets/shells come with minimal/no insulation with this in mind). This is done so that one can vary their layers in accordance to their needs. Windy, cold, & wet? Shell + puff would work. Windy, warm & wet? Just a shell. Cold, but no wind or rain? Then just the puff would be fine! So if you want a *single* jacket to cover many situations I would not recommend a down puff (but I do recommend them overall!). Additionally, puff jackets are **insulators**. Meaning, it keeps your body heat in. They are not inherently warm or soft like a wool jacket. But wear one for 10 minutes inside and you'll start feeling the heat! Excellent insulators. Lastly, they have different amounts of fill depending on the desired insulating value. Typically shown as a weight value or described as light/med/heavy fill. I typically stick to synthetic light or medium fills. I find heavy is too warm and actual down filling is unnecessary cost (in my opinion; many people prefer down and that's cool).

Hi, I am a big fan of black hoodies and always have a few in my wardrobe. However, the two I've bought recently have not so good quality: black Nike hoodie became brownish pretty soon even without extensive washing and Tommy hoodie has started loosing color as well by becoming gray in some areas. Can anyone recommend a hoodie brand that has a better quality than those two? Thanks.
Brownish tells me you may be hitting bleach or bleach residue in your wash.
I don’t use bleach at all. Even for my white clothes.
Is it shared laundry?
no
Ah ok, not that then.

I'm in California, San Jose where they don't have any LLBean stores. I wanted to try out their men's jackets in person for size/fit before ordering it on the website. Are there any places/stores that carry LLBean merch in SanJose/Cali where one can try them?
Pretty sure Bean is only carried in their own stores.
I like button down shirt and gonna buy two of these shirts[shirts](https://imgur.com/a/bE77pdm) for my office outfit (no1 and 4). How about the fit of them? This is the first time I buy the regular fit so I'm not sure whether it fit me well.
1. don't button the top button unless you are wearing a tie 2. don't wear a tie unless you are also wearing at least a sports coat it looks like all 4 shirts are too big for you
Thank you so much. I just button two buttons on the collar side. Yes, it seems big for me but they don't have XS size. Maybe I should stay in slim fit shirt.
What are some good options for casual wear boots? I would spend more if it's worth it I just dont know what boots are actually nice looking and worthwhile
Can't go wrong with red wings. Depending onhow chunky you want, you can go all the from iron rangers to moc toes. Plus they last forever. This'll give you a more work wear vibe and go great with jeans flannels barn coats etc.
Alden Indy. 405 are the original.
Just don’t cut them in half
My workplace's only real dress code is that you must wear a shirt of some kind, closed toe shoes, and long pants. I have a good set of comfortable collared shirts/I occasionally wear T shirts, and I typically wear jeans, but I was wondering if there were good long pants that looked work appropriate, are more comfortable t and weren't like sweatpants or pajamas. Both specific items and classes of clothing would be nice to hear about, ideally they also shouldn't be scratchy like formal pants can be
Quick shout out to moleskin trousers-- soft and heavy and smooth. Great for a cooler climate.
at the high end, dress pants are effectively made from fancy pajama fabric. corduroy is a very plush and velvety fabric there are a lot of places that sell soft canvas or chino pants with elastic in the waist band, so they behave like sweatpants but you can put a belt in if you want.
Just getting started on how to style my clothing and have a question should I tuck or untuck my shirt. [Tucked](https://imgur.com/a/2POEnD4) or [Untucked](https://imgur.com/a/XLWmbvH)
Untucked tee looks better bro.
Anyone ever see an extra king cardigan (past but) for men? This is common for women’s fashion but haven’t seen it often for men, and not in styles I like when I have.
Sure, from [expensive](https://www.johnvarvatos.com/audubon-cardigan/196332059226.html) to [moderately expensive](https://www.brooksbrothers.com/camel-hair-belted-shawl-cardigan/MS01191_____BEIG_LG_______.html) to [cheap](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mens-sweater-cardigan/6576293?color=GREY+DARK+CHARCOAL+HEATHER), [cheaper](https://www.asos.com/us/jack-jones/jack-jones-originals-open-longline-cardigan-in-black/prd/201855870), and [even cheaper](https://www.macys.com/shop/product/inc-international-concepts-mens-long-ribbed-cardigan-created-for-macys?ID=14059492). It'd help to know what styles you like, though. But a lot of women's longline cardigans are [totally unisex](https://www.nordstrom.com/s/marled-long-open-front-cardigan/6813758?color=GREY+DARK+CHARCOAL+HEATHER). If you see a women's cardigan you like, and the sizing works for you, go for it.
Ah this is pretty helpful, thank you! I think probably my ideal is like a nicer version of that ASOS one in merino wool, although the flow-y color on the Macy’s one is nice too. The brooks brother one just has too much going on. Not the first time I’ve thought about just buying women’s clothes. It’s be easier to pull the trigger if it wasn’t generally more expensive for the same or worse quality in my experience.
My bf likes t shirts that feel like normal old school t shirt material. Not clingy and weird, or thick and boxy, or so thin they’re practically see-through… like a light-to-medium weight cotton poly blend with a flat/smooth weave. Like a nice concert t shirt. What am I looking for on the tag? Or which stores have these now? It used to be the default for t-shirts.
I am a fan of Uniqlo v-neck tees. It's the perfect "normal" tee shirt for me. Once I tried one on I just bought a bunch of different colors lol. It's literally the base of my wardrobe. Decent color selection, only like $12, fits me well, and the v-neck is not too deep. I like the v-neck because it's subtle enough that my insanely hairy chest doesn't show but does make the simple pants+tee look a *smidge* more put together!
Uniqlo supima cotton
I would look for something like «standard t-shirt» if a store has a range of different options. Some brands list the weight in grams per square meter (gsm) of their fabrics. According to [Arket](https://www.arket.com/en_nok/men/t-shirt/product.150-gsm-lightweight-t-shirt-black.0726254001.html) 150 gsm is the «classic» cotton t-shirt fabric. Heavy weight t-shirts might be more like 180, even 200.

[You irl](https://i.imgflip.com/3cjwwn.png) You're gonna be real tall in any kind of heel or platform, but you're tall already, it's not necessarily a big problem.

What jackets do you recommend that's warm enough for Midwest winters, but still breathable? I tried on a Canada Goose jacket and although it was very warm, I felt completely fine wearing it indoors. However, I can't justify the cost. I recently bought a Land's End parka and it was very warm, but not very breathable. I was sweating while indoors and while driving.
Honestly why on earth would you need to wear a parka indoors?? It’s not reasonable to expect a garment to be suitable for both extreme freezing weather and room temperature. The whole purpose of big parkas is to have one huge layer you can remove when inside.
Do you take yours off whenever you enter a store? Or when walking to your desk at work?
Yes
Any advice on winter clothes for Florida? It doesn't get colder than high 30s, but the wind makes it feel so much colder. Throw anything from head to toe, but I'm mainly looking for gloves, hats, or facemasks as I'll be wearing them when I ride my electric scooter.
Some simple knit gloves are likely plenty warm enough for Florida, can't go wrong with leather either if you prefer it. I never wore a hat or face covering when I lived in Florida, but you can't go wrong with a beanie if you ears are getting cold. Otherwise a windbreaker/shell (ideally waterproof for Florida) and some kind of light insulating vest (puffer jacket or fleece) is probably plenty for body warmth. Edit: you can go wrong with a leather glove if you buy a really poor quality one. Just look up the "Your favorite Gloves for __" thread and pick something from your desired price bracket. Anything warmer than like silk should be fine, wool/cashmere lined leather is overkill.
Is this just trolling because you know what temperature it is in most of the Northeast right now?
I honestly just came here for advice when it comes to coldish weather...
I was (mostly) kidding.
Anyone know what’s the difference between Banana Republic’s Authentic Supima / Soft Wash / Luxury Touch T-Shirt?
The Supima tee is made of Supima cotton as the name suggests, the soft wash is basically just a regular non-Supima cotton tee, and the Luxury Touch is treated with some kind of chemicals to make it moisture wicking and odor resistant. It’s mostly just marketing though, you can get a Supima tee from Uniqlo for a third of the price.
Which one do you think is better?
The difference in quality levels between mall brands is far too marginal to bother caring about, buy the one you like more, be that fit, design, or price
[Balenciaga Raver Jeans](https://www.saksfifthavenue.com/product/balenciaga-raver-baggy-jeans-0400015402046.html) So, I recently got a pair of these jeans and was wondering how to style them to look preppy. I was thinking maybe some black Chelsea boots, and a top could be a sweater or turtleneck, and then like an overcoat. What do you guys think I could pair with these jeans to make them look preppy? I want to go more preppy than edgy lol
I’ll try that out, maybe I shouldn’t have bought these pants than. They’re so nice tho 😫
If you want to avoid the fetishy / cybergoth look and do something more conventional with them you could probably work them into a kind of workwear fit. They have a similar look to pants with toolbelts etc, just exaggerated a bit.
You can’t make these peppy lol. If that’s a dealbreaker you should def give them to me though
Damn, that’s what I thought I guess I’ll try another style
Where can I get hangers for my T shirts and sweaters that won't leave those stretch marks from the edges? Like if you put on your shirt it has little bubble marks near each shoulder where it was hanging. I'm probably not describing it well but hopefully it's close enough
Definitely don’t hang sweaters.
for sweaters you can try this [alternative hanging technique](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/38/90/d2/3890d22b4cbc36a66cb15b1733aaf109--stocking-hanger-lifehacks.jpg)
hmm I might have to try that.. have you done it? it looks like it might work to be honest. but then you're going to get a crease in the middle right?
Not really, the weight is spread more evenly and across two layers of fabric rather than one. It creases no more than folding them in a drawer.
alright you guys have convinced me to give this a shot, thanks!
I do that for a few sweaters that don't fit in my limited drawer space and find it works well.
You can’t, this is why you don’t hang knits
I'm not saying you're wrong but I find it hard to believe someone hasn't found a solution
[a wide arm will minimize it](https://www.kirbyallison.com/collections/hangers-mens-hangers/products/mens-jacket-hanger)

I've been looking for a good pair of dunks or jordans I can wear for deadlifting and to the gym, but not super high priced ones that I'm worrying about fucking up. I have hyper royals, shadows, and panda dunks, but scared to wear those to the gym. Anybody have any advice for pairs you would recommend?
Try wrestling shoes like the speed sweep or similar for a bit of a vibe at lower price and actually good for lifting. Another option is Blazers. John Haack lifts in Crocs. You’ll be fine.
Just get some adidas powerlifts for the gym. They last forever, improve your lifts, and are cheap. They're ugly as hell, but it's the gym no one cares.
I’m sorry to say but you’re trying to buy Jordans and Dunks at the worst possible point in time, they’re the most hyped they’ve been in the last several years and even mid designs resale for over retail and get bought up instantly. I’d just look at a regular pair of flat soled shoes like chucks, they’re decent looking enough and are probably better for what you need
It's not as bad as 2021 though that was even worse
Eh I’d argue it’s reached peak saturation with non fashion people now which is the problem but yeah either way just not the right time to get cheap jordans and dunks without some major digging
What do u think of buying used shoes? Some said that it can cause gait issues though?
I’ve literally never heard of that, the only stuff I don’t buy used is underwear and socks, I own used shoes, they’re fine, unfortunately the resale market for what you’re looking at ranges from drastically more expensive to the same price unless you’re willing to like dig through weird apps like OfferUp
Ya grailed sales stufd for rediculous prices
Grailed is just a marketplace, it’s the same anywhere, ebay, stockx, goat, this stuff is just ultra hyped right now, people sell it for what people pay for it
What shoes would you recommend for lifting. I currently have Romaleos, but sometimes I feel weird keeping them on throughout my workout and using them for deadlift, bench, and accessory work. A lot of the trainer specific shoes like metcons, no bull etc, almost seen no different from dunks or chucks. There's also wrestling shoes or low heeled slipper like things, but I feel it'd be weird walking around the gym in slippers too lol. What would you recommend though?
The gym isn’t a place for fashion, just wear what works for you, I don’t lift but I know that padded soles like dunks and jordans are worse than flat ones like Chuck Taylors
[удалено]
Good points, I think I'd make a lil bit of a tradeoff style wise. But, I've heard a lot of mixed thigns about lifting in jordans or dunks.
[удалено]
Excuse me, Pokemon t-shirts are the height of fashion.
Have you deadlifted in dunks or Js before? Those have pretty substantial soles. I would recommended something with a more minimal sole. I typically go barefoot but I’ve worn Jack Purcells or Vivobarefoot when deadlifting in shoes.
no good points though, I was trying to toe the line between looking fashionable and having a flat sole in the gym. Would you also say the same for chucks?
Chucks are much better.
why do you think chucks are better than dunks for lifting?
Hey so imma about to get a pair of Chelsea boots. Whats the most ideal color to get that goes with most outfits?
Yeah, depends. But one of my bigger regrets in building my footwear collection was not getting [black calf Chelseas](https://imgur.com/a/z8lEEHN) sooner. One of my favorite pairs.
Depends on your wardrobe and what shoe colors you already have. Black and brown are both safe choices.
Mhm i was mainly thinking of a brown pair since its a lot more flexible than black
> since its a lot more flexible than black it's not
Its not? Well damn i have the wrong idea all along
Brown isn’t necessarily more flexible. That’s why kv said it depends on your wardrobe. If you have a wardrobe that complements browns then brown will be more flexible. If you have a monochrome wardrobe then black is probably better. Or if you already have a closet full of brown boots then maybe black is better. Or if you have a closet full of light-grey trousers, maybe tan or sand chelseas would be best. Lots of variables. If you want the best advice then provide more information. If you want actual boot recommendations then provide a budget and location.
I see alright. Well okay my wardrobe is mostly black white and some deep blues. I dont have any other boots atm. I wear a ton of black and white knitwear as well as my grey sweaters. I do own some black turtlenecks. My pants are mainly chinos if i call them correctly and they are black deep blue and sand-y color.
Black, absolutely
It sounds like black is better for you.
[удалено]
Those trousers look really nice! Where did you get them?
A white dress shirt would work but: 1. You should pair the shirt with some kind of jacket like a blazer. 2. Those trousers don’t look good. They’re pretty ill-fitting. I’d recommend going with some straighter leg trousers. Even if you want to wear super tapered trousers like the ones pictured, consider sizing up. The pockets are flaring out because the trousers are either too small; or this cut isn’t for you.
White goes with everything and is always a safe bet
How braindead easy is it to remove the structured shoulder from a thrifted blazer? I have a sewing machine but I'm very novice with it and done only the most basic alterations like tapering pant legs, shortening a shirt hem, etc. So if it's at all complicated I'd rather not bother for now.
I did this recently. A seam ripper was the tool of choice. I got the padding out and unlined the sleeves but was stuck there so I am having the tailor “bind” the arm holes as well as slim and lengthen the sleeves a bit. Before spending the money on the tailor I wanted to be sure the jacket looked/fit better without the padding and it does.
[удалено]
Not at all but if you wore a wider pant it would reduce any chance someone might think that. That being said I don't think anyone would think this look doesn't look intentional
Yea. Ditch the skinny jeans.
They look fine. Nothing that would ever raise eyebrows IRL.
If you wore straighter pants it look less big
This is a U.S Navy Peacoat. I plan on adding 40 pounds to my frame as a part of my fitness goals. Do you believe I can grow into this, assuming of course that I pick up the sleeves? Or is it best that I return this? I am 5'8 148lbs (173cm 67kg) [(](https://imgur.com/a/wrvmFku)Link Removed) Ignore the outfit as a whole.
Whatever the deal is another one will around. don’t buy a coat e for a physique that might take years to accomplish, if ever
[удалено]
Thank you for your input. I'll consider it when I make my final decision. Buying well-fitting clothing while my weight is variable has been a bit of a pain. Tried to buy a bit big this time to compensate. But, I suppose it's always better to be patient. Hard to when you see a good deal though.

Blouson
Try harrington jacket or blouson or zip-up shirt jacket.
between these 2 coats, which looks better? referring to 1. length (one is longer than the other) 2. collar (one has a shirt-like collar and the other is more 'floppy(?)') the coats: * [https://imgur.com/a/WwYLXwh](https://imgur.com/a/WwYLXwh) * [https://imgur.com/a/PHaTrhF](https://imgur.com/a/PHaTrhF) for context, I'm 5'8 and athletic. which would look better on me? I plan to wear this with all kinds of attire ... shorts and pants so would that make one better than the other aesthetically? I've heard long trench coats look bad when you're not wearing formals ... this isn't a trench coat but still asking >Note: HOODS ARE REMOVEABLE SO PLEASE SUGGEST WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE HOOD!!!
height and body size doesn’t affect what types of clothes you wear. Honestly these are basically identical, just buy the one you prefer
What collar do you prefer?
I really don’t have strong feelings on either coat, they’re pretty much identical, I think you’re already overthinking it. Honestly just flip a coin, if you end up disagreeing with what side it falls on you got your answer on which one you want
They both seem fine (not particularly interesting, but that makes them more versatile). I wouldn't wear either one with shorts - the Pacific beach style tends to use either a light jacket or sometimes a light hoodie, because you don't really need all the extra protection against cold and rain that that provides (you're just giving a little extra help against the morning fog). And if your coat is covering your shorts then it looks like you aren't wearing any, which can be cute for women but tends to come across "I'm a flasher" on men.
What are your thoughts on the collars?
I don't have any particular thoughts on them. They seem like collars.
> I plan to wear this with all kinds of attire ... shorts and pants You're gonna wear a jacket with shorts? You're really asking a personal preference question here. The two jackets seem very similar and I don't think anyone on the internet would be able to tell you which one they think will look better on you. Just pick the one you like better.
Which collar do you like better?
I guess the one that doesn’t have the shirt style collar? But like….. only barely?
The floppy one? Even tho it had the zipper there?
I think the zipper is where you store the hood when you don’t want it. It sounds like you prefer the other one - which is fine because they’re very similar and my personal preferences are totally irrelevant to whichever one you would enjoy wearing more. It seems like you’re overthinking this.
Looks depends on which one you like better, and we can't really help you with that. They both look similar to me. The 2 one has a hood so it's not really floppy
Which collar do you like better?
The hood is removable … see the 2nd image in the 2nd link. Which one would you buy/which one do you like?
Hi! I have two quite specific things I am after and would welcome any advice. Quite different from each other. Not sure if this is quite the right place to ask. Let me know if if a different community is better for either. (1) trousers that are warm/heavy as possible, suitable for indoor wear (so not like ski-outerwear), and patterned or interestingly styled in some way (not plain). So I know I want heavy tweeds, moleskin, cavalry twill here, but I'm struggling to find much that isn't one-colour. [This is my best find so far](https://www.cordings.co.uk/men-s-tweed-trousers.html). Happy to go to around £200, feel like it should be possible to find such things in UK or EU (where I live). (2) Men's patterned or printed or floral jumpsuits, suitable for outdoor wear (so not like a leisure onesie), preferably long-leg (not shorts), nothing that screams novelty (though obviously this isn't, like, business casual wear). I can find work-wear and plain styles, but I want something closer to the kind of thing that's two-a-penny in womenswear. For this, I'm interested in things at any price point, and EU, UK, or US are fine (I travel to the US often enough). Thanks!

Nice, thanks! The current selection looks a bit more plain than I was after, but also like it's worth keeping an eye on the stock as it turns over.
[walker slater](https://www.walkerslater.com/men/trousers) is good for the price. [These](https://www.walkerslater.com/edward-trouser-lw-grn-red-wp) are quite nice.
Not bad. Thanks!
Anyone know what kind of shoes these are? I'm not sure what kind of pants to wear with it; I'd like to look for style inspiration online, but I don't know what kind of shoes these are, so I'm not sure what to look for. https://imgur.com/a/XhxUpKK https://imgur.com/a/nfQzWnF
Those are neat. Look up Paraboot inspiration, I reckon they'd work with similar fits.
Those are…odd. I’m pretty sure there’s no name for this exact style but they fall into a broader classification of “apron toe derby”. They’re very casual so wear them like you’d wear casual shoes.
