What is really the problem with Hilfiger and VV? I dont own any VV stuff, but some articles look good. On Hilfiger I have more experience, atm I own a polo shirt and a belt and they are giving good result, they are 2 years old each, the polo shirt hasnt lost color with washings and the belt is fine, just the area of the holes I use is a bit damaged after being used nearly everyday for 2 years, and the metal of the belt is not rusty yet, for 40€ that it was I dont see it as a bad investment, it will probably last me much more

Do Drake's OCBD ever go on sale and if so where? Otherwise I'm better off going to Luxire really, unless there are others with decent collar rolls available in the UK. Eton and the like all seem to have quite structured collars by the looks of things.

oc

>>13907796
They go on sale on their own site and stockists (Mr Porter, the Rake etc.)
Check where they stock and follow those sales, got 2 drake's shirts for 68 euros each
You can also try Kamakurashirts.
I only use Luxire for their special fabrics, they have some stuff neither Drake's, Eton and Kamakura have that is pretty nice

>>13907852
I cant find anything to criticize, nice outfit

what kind of socks do you wear?

as a girl who wants to dress ivy style but in a casual way what kind of pants or skirt would be best

What are some good winter boots that fit into the Ivy style, BESIDES Bean Boots?


>>13907374
I've actually gotten some really good advice and inspo here. Ya'll are knowledgeable about old brands to look out for in secondhand shops, and give me good inspo for when I finally get out of grad school and can finally afford some nice stuff.

>>13907852
Shoes are so boring

>>13910306
>What are some good winter boots that fit into the Ivy style, BESIDES Bean Boots?
The best is to search at online shops of common prep/ivy brands and see what boots they offer. Usually is Chukka/Desert boots, chelsea boots, brogue boots, jodhpur boots, wallabie boots and duck/bean boots. Aditionally, you could go for wellington boots if you live in rural areas.

>>13910306
Country brogue boots are good, particularly if you typically wear shirts/jumpers/relatively smart casual wear. Trickers Stow, Grenson, etc do good ones

Wellingtons are good for actual outdoors wear in fields and whatnot - apparently Hunter's quality has declined in recent years, and the preferred boot is Le Chameau

There's a hole on my navy shetland sweater. What kind of elbow patch should I stitch on that ? I was thinking of the classic beige suede ones.

>>13907852
reds should could be a more faded salmon color but aside from that not bad

>>13908985
honestly women can wear mens ocbds in smaller sizes

>>13910463
hunters are still quite good as far as i can tell
gf just bought a pair and they definitely are higher quality than my shitty green rubbers hah

w2c black cable knit v-neck?

>>13910706
>black
maybe
>cable knit
absolutely
>v-neck
no

>>13910711
why not? chunky knit v-neck is the shit

>>13910734

wtf, are you BLACK?

>>13907852
>goofy teeth
>river island looking chinos

You look like a standard british lad.

>>13910898
i’m Korean

>>13907852
bad chino color not to mention way too skinny. common projects or whatever knockoff aren't prep. you look like you shop at jcrew or banana republic

>>13911668
Black and v-neck are going to make you look slimer, take that into consideration. Its better if you go for the same sweater with crew neck and in white or grey

>>13910706
Black is a color thats generally avoided in ivy/prep. Obvious exception is shoes and belts, and less obvious exception is black knit tie

>>13910463
>country brogue
Completely tryhard in todays context. Better off with boots that make less of a statement—even if they are not traditionally included in prep/ivy. Blundstones in the original black or brown, for example, might work well

>>13911886
If Blundstones are prep, I don't want to be prep

>>13911881
I know what you mean, but personally I wear it fairly often

I find black or charcoal is the best way to tonally modernise an outfit that might otherwise be considered larpy

E.g.an outfit of brogues, cream chinos, light blue ocbd, red shetland - a bit too 'obvious' in colour. Black or charcoal for the jumper, instead, tones it down, gives it a modern edge, of a sort (apologies if not conveying this well). Something of the /fa/ equivalent of MVOTC

Black overcoats, macs, jumpers, jeans etc can, if worn with the right things, convey an urbanity which tempers the classicism of prep

>>13911886
>Blundstones
You talking about Brit country-style? Prep is like US Ivy-League...

This thread is pretty confusing.

>>13912027
British style like this needs its own thread, except there would be barely any posters

There is a lot of overlap, but as ever 'divided by a common language' - what's worn in Cambridge, MA is quite distinct from that in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

>>13910313
yeah they're just beaters
>>13911675
I'm a slim kid from swimming and xc. since when are white sneakers not prep? I'm not trying to look super trad as a 20 year old.

>>13912193
i'm 20 and a twink also. i'm just saying it doesn't look "trad." it looks like you shopped at jcrew and got presentable clothes if that's all you care about rock it

>>13912193
>not wanting to look like a super trad 20 year old.

Weak. Your fit is a generic /mfa/ fit IMO.

>>13912204
>>13912274
lol how to look prep then?

>>13912283
it's literally a style for college students and prep school kids. that color pant is disgusting and skinny looks retarded. change shoes. top is like fine but desu doesn't look worn or authentic. just open take ivy and copy a fit

>>13912326
lol why would you tell him to LARP and copy outfits

>>13912361
he asked how to look prep so look there and then reassess

Bought a pair of vintage black loafers for a steal yesterday. What should I wear them with?

>>13912361
Prep is a style not a uniform. The style involves:
>Clean cut grooming
>A roomy, more traditional fit that emphasizes draping fabric (think sack jackets and twill/wool trousers of a mid-rise and generous unlined button down collars)
>Collegiate sporty type clothing mixed with what would be considered now to be formal and semi formal-wear
>Natural fabrics
>Muted colours often contrasted by a loud signature piece like a Madras blazer for example.

>>13912432
Something like this >>13912434

This is an art hoe, not trad

>>13912047
I made us a thread a month or so ago and it actually did really well up until some twat started spamming photos of chavvy city girls and darling about "British faces" or something. I think we fit quite nicely into the /trad/ part of the thread - it's perfect as long as people specify what they're going for or whatever. The dealer boots and wellies conversation above is a fine example, like you say, big no from one side of the pond but two thumbs up from here.

>>13912027

FYI, I've spent my whole life living and working in the British countryside and I can tell you that Bludstones have and always will have a welt that makes them look silly. Other options are available. Apart from that dealer boots and brogues are staple country footwear.

>>13915503

Hoodies are dope. Everything you wear was sports wear at some point.

>>13918546
yes, most of it was. doesn't change the fact hoodies are for niggers and look like shit

>>13918546
hoodies are nigger tier

>>13918524

>>13911991
>>13915895
literally nothing wrong with them

>>13918652
>hoodies are nigger tier

t. zimmerman.

The worst part about that meme is that the chad supposedly listens to Africa, which is a terrible song, for the retarded. No (You) for you.

>>13919838
Thats what they wear, sometimes with a bomber on top

I had to wear khaki chinos today, with an earthly coloured Barbour Defender jacket. I looked like I was thirty. It was awful. I was so WASPish it hurt me to walk.

My friends, I tell you - have more than two pairs of jeans. Because having to send one off to the tailors to have thigh holes fixed when you only have one pair really does fuck up your wardrobe.

>>13915895
living in the british countryside gives you no higher authority to comment on the look of blundstones, considering they are australian. fact is brogues may have originated as rugged footwear, but now they are considered less casual. rarely do you see someone with well worn brogue boots, they are almost always shiny and meticulously cared for in a way similar to dress shoes. besides that, blundstones look far better and fit in well in an urban context

>>13911991
literally acknowledged they were not prep you fucking faggot

>>13919899
t. desperately justifying buying terrible boots

>>13919195
Ja zeker weten.

i am trying to play with prints to add some edge to my prep looks. since ralph lauren is selling these, i assume they fit the aesthetic.

do you have any other examples of prep-compatible sweaters or shirts with prints?

>>13919893
speaking of which, where do you buy your jeans? since they're supposed to fit into prep, they have to look kinda expensive/polished

>>13919972
It's difficult to really make them prep or 'trad'. They were, after all, workwear.

I buy mine from Unbranded. For UK shoppers, search t-shop - Bristol brand, they have it cheapest and stocked. I then have them hemmed to be straight without stacks. It works I guess.

Why safari jackets look bad in general? I bought 3 Italian safari jackets from time to time but they all look bad.

>>13919967
>since ralph lauren is selling these, i assume they fit the aesthetic
when you assume...

>>13919972
I like my Levi's. Black or navy, no stonewashed or distressed garbage.

>>13920425
shiny ones look bad, suede ones look awesome

>>13919967
For sweaters: birdseye pattern and fair isle sweaters are common in this style. Shirts: tartan or gingham

>>13920429
What did he mean by this?

>>13921213
Not everything that RL makes is prep or ivy, they have a lot of nigger core stuff

>>13921213
You make an ass out of u and me

>>13907852
The pants ruin the look. Go with a more traditional chino color(tan, British khaki, stone). If you like this red hue consider some wide wale cords. The warmth of the fabric and color cohabit nicely And scuff up your shoes!

>>13922240
PRL is great youre just a retarded larper

>>13913577
Its a good look. The pants lend a Christmas panache to the outfit. Consider bring the blazer to a tailor

>>13923508
Ralph Lauren is great
Polo is faux riche mallcore

Support your claim.

>>13922257
no it isn't. looks like h&m. polo is fine.

>>13911886
Blundstones moved manufacturing offshore despite it being completely feasible to continue manufacturing in Australia (as demonstrated by Rossi's health; and Redback, who don't even bother with making fashion boots), and continue to brand their products with "Tasmania, Australia" like the slimy dog cunts that they are.

Rossi have a solid range with some interesting options, such as a flat soled version of their workboot, but really the first rate manufacturer is RM WillIams, they not only have their classic chisel-toe Craftsman chelsea boot but the Tambo which has a broader, rounder, more classic Australian workboot shape.

Basically, buying Blundstones is buying style over substance, completely antithetical to British country style, just look at Hunter's fall from grace.

Many Brits about? I've been thinking about getting a shooting vest or waistcoat for field work for some time now, though it's been on the backburner while I've been working in the tropics. Now I've got some cool climate stuff coming up in the next few months I'll be looking again. I got recommended Musto, but the lack of flaps on the cartridge pockets was a major issue for me. I'd prefer to be able to secure the pockets. What are some other reputable brands?

>>13923945
Alan Paine?

>>13924007
Yeah, some good options there, thanks. Hoggs of Fife are going to cheap and nasty right? Because they have pretty much exactly what I want, which is a cool climate field vest

>>13924007
this or Cordings

>>13907852
Other than the shoes pretty good.

>>13919934
>terrible boots
lmao idiot

>>13923516
polo is decent if you know what to buy. you probably say uniqlo is shit cause you dont have the ability to recognize separate the good from the bad when looking at an entire brand. probably buy your entire wardrobe from a single brand that you think is good across the board, only to get tired of it and regret it a few weeks later. your loss faggot

>>13923665
first of all, only losers care about where clothing is made. you talk shit about blundstone flaunting their tasmanian roots, but can't see that MiUSA (or any other developed nation) is just a marketing meme that youre falling victim to.

race means a lot, but the idea that someones race determines their ability to sew is ridiculous. the people that sew for a living are bottom of the barrel here in USA what makes you think theyd be experts in anything

tl;dr who the fuck cares where something is made, learn to judge quality for yourself and you wont have to rely are marketing gimmicks

>>13924272
>only losers care about where clothing is made
this thread isn't for you

>>13909223

you look like shit

>>13923665
Your point is all but useless, because you're comparing $500 boots (RM William) to $100 boots (Blundstone). Are you really all that surprised the extra $400 buys you a slightly better boot? If anything you're the one buying style over substance, since there's no way that you're getting your money's worth in this retarded hypothetical.

Either boot will last you a lifetime of posting on 4chan. But if we pretend you actually go outside, the Blundstones might last you 10 years--based on experience with the pair I've worn hiking the past 5 years, that still have tons of life left. At that point your RM Williams will have to last 50 years to even compare, let alone come out ahead. And let's be honest, the chances that your style will not evolve and grow out of some boots you bought when you were 19 are pretty low.

>>13924279
proof that you're playing make believe. The only clothes you should care about the country of origin are things like suiting. people who are truly prep (i.e. old money) don't give a shit about whether their khakis are made in the US or china.

this thread isnt for you

>>13924287
Not to mention that extra $400 is going to be worth a whole lot more in your 20s than in your 70s lol.

>>13907852
where'd you get the shirt and sweater? rest is pretty shit

Should I get these for winter or maybe a darker colour? Or should I get chukka boots? What to wear when it's really cold out and snowing?

>>13924831
Whoops, just saw a similar question has been posted

>>13924831
What kind of outfit you'll be wearing them in will make a difference to the style etc, but those look to be decent quality at least

Dainite soles hold up really quite well in rain and snow in urban environments, as do commando soles

>>13924831
Go for duck boots if the weather conditions are awful, LLBean or Sorel are good options. I know Sperry and others also make them, but I dont know how they are

Seems like we're combing rugger jerseys with traditional dress now like so. It seems strange to me, do you think its valid?

>>13907366
why is this picture so fucking based. i get feelings i cant describe looking at it

Does Brooks Brothers have an after Christmas sale? I'm looking at getting more button down shirts and wondering if its worth it to wait until after the holidays.

>>13924272
Is there a footwear manufacturer that hasn't seen a massive drop in quality when shifting production offshore? It makes sense, you have a workforce which is experienced, dominated by long term employees, usually with good working pay and conditions for their class and area which are often lower socioeconomic status with limited opportunities; compared to overseas employees who only at best will be experienced but still without deep knowledge of the manufacture of the specific products they are making and who will be jumping between orders for many different manufacturers, and a move which is often accompanied by other economy drives and supplier changes. Your race strawman be fucked.

>>13924287
And you, two paragraphs picking at my RMW recommendation while completely ignoring that I also recommended Rossis.

Dishonest arguments waste everyone's time, not least your own, and aren't going to convince anyone.

>>13925525
Correlation=/=causation bud

>>13926082
This is more meme than true, youre just repeating shit youve heard the older kids say. Plenty of products have been successfully produced off shore with no drop in quality.

Besides its no secret that US skilled labor has declined while production in places like china has improved and surpassed that of usa in many industries. Keep spending 10x more for identical domestic products if you want, youre just hurting your own pocketbook. The only viable argument against buying foreign goods is the environmental one. Anything other that and youre kididng yourself

>>13916481
OMG, this is zombie monkey.

>>13926240
Did that sound like a zinger in your head? If the correlation is near enough to 1:1 who gives a fuck if the cause is. I don't care if it's antiglobalists in spaceships threatening workers that causes QC issues, when boots go offshore they almost inevitably get shit. Hunter is making news like Blundstones 10 years ago, tredsetters having long moved on to Le Chameaus. Thots and poseurs still buy Hunters, just as they buy Blundstones. I don't have need of US style workboots but the same seems to apply to Timberlands from what I read, Thomas Cooks are another Australian example whose quality has diminished greatly.

>>13924272
This is literally globalist propaganda. Even if the labor is drawing the lower skilled in your country, the people doing the labor are always going to be living under higher safety standards and with way way better work benefits (like actual holidays). If you're continuing to produce in the same place for a long time you benefit from continued expertise. Also it's important from a patriotic pov to be giving work to the lower skilled in your society rather than just letting them to rot and giving the work to some random people from another country.

Here in the UK you can clearly see a drop in quality when manufacturing is moved abroad in so many brands. Grenson for example when they moved their manufacturing to India. I always buy made in UK clothing when I can.

>>13926470
What's up with that? One would think with lower wages it would still be cheaper for Chinese, Indonesians etc to make shoes of the same quality as the ones made in the late capitalist countries, yet brands like Jalan Sriwijaya end up costing about as much as Grensons or AEs when they try to make actually high quality things in developing countries. Granted, they do use hand welting instead of Goodyear.

but the chad in this meme is always supposed to be exaggerated

Wondering if anyone here knows but where can I cop cheaper wool or tweed pants in UK?

I’ve found these but I’m not sure about the brand. https://www.peterchristian.co.uk/trousers/wool-trousers/flannel-trousers-grey

Honestly I’m too poor for cordings and don’t know what alternatives I have for pants around £100.

>>13927493
Search in ASOS for Harris Tweed, you can find some trousers for 77€ more or less

>>13927606
Impossible on ASOS with THICK THIGHS

>>13927493
Samuel Windsor or Fife Country.

How does CT compare to TM lewin? I’ve heard that CT is getting worse in quality.

>>13928228
I used to wear TM but found the fits to be a bit shit and found that CT had a much better fit. In regards to quality I found CT to be on par with TM, they're not terrible but they're not the best either.

Hoggs of Fife any good?

depends on the region, but it is not really necessarily a thing. we have a lot of boomers (like my dad) who dress like pic rel (almost always v-neck sweaters).
closest thing we have to prep as a subculture is corpsballen which are student societies very close to american frat bros. they wear ralph shirts untucked with jeans, but they have to suit up each weekend for parties.
once in a while i'll see someone dressed in khakis with a tucked in white shirt, it is not unheard of, but not that common either.
a lot of my friends dress 'smart' as in chinos and shirts, but not necessarily prep, i'm the only one who really does prep along side my old German teacher

thoughts on the british cousins of ivy style?

Why try to look elegant when you have such a vulgar face?

they're working class brits, they can't help it

>>13932672
i can find very little about the NOD last at all online

>>13932719
Mods were working class aping Ivy

The real cousin is what 'posh' people wear, i.e. the true Anglo 1%, which is what the original WASP 1% in America were aping

>>13932719
kek at their faces, right guy's shirt is awful

>>13932618
> i'm the only one who really does prep
What do you add to the shirt+chinos of the other guys?

>>13932788
regular fit chinos +regular fit shirts with 3,25inch+ collars and a chest pocket tucked in with loafers vs slim fit chinos + slim fit shirts withouth button down collar untucked + sneakers

>>13932789
>chest pocket tucked in
What do you mean?

>>13933176
My rise is so high that the chest pocket is right at my belt line

>>13932437
I live in one of the wealthiest areas in the Netherlands (Utrechtse Heuvelrug) and I'd say that a good 50% of men wear chino's with sweaters and either a shirt or polo underneath.

>>13933247
sweater and polo? holy crap

ok guys not exactly a prep question what are the deciding factors between buying a roll neck or crew neck?

I’m going to buy two Jamiesons sweaters and I’m not sure what the two most versatile colours would be. Please help.

>>13933605
i buy sweaters in bright colours and roll necks in earth colours, think that looks best.
btw where did you find jamiesons still in stock

>>13933605
Charcoal and navy are most consistently versatile

Beyond that, I personally would go for pale natural, black (particularly for roll neck), or faded pastels, esp. pink

>>13933679
If I purchase a black roll neck, is it a bad idea to purchase a charcoal one too since the colours are so close together?

>>13933685
Post pic of jumper? A lot depends on the texture/fabric of the jumper, how thick it is etc

But no, I'd say the colours are distinct enough that it's well worth buying both

>>13933694
They are not formal, just new wool and I will be buying a size bigger for a deliberate looser fit.
I’m just not sure in which situation you would pick charcoal over black since they are so similar?

I think I’m stuck between these.

>>13933726
if you're getting a roll neck i think creme white is better and is more kinda nautical looking which can be cool, but if that was what you were going for then i'd just go for an aran

>>13933726
>loose fit
Not very prep of you.

>>13929560
Mostly nice, the pants are a tad slim but at least ready for the downpour your boots portend

>>13934181
Meh. Depends on your build. The modern trend is toward slim and being engulfed by fabric looks bad but prep should be trim but not uncomfortable

>>13933726
Jamieson's sweaters are already quite loose, wouldn't size up if i were you

As a person who works at a government office, ivy prep seems like the only acceptable style. I feel like tech wear and other styles are for people who don't work in offices or for the government

>>13934569
tech wear is nigger wear

>>13933726
I would pick the one on the right, hate turtlenecks and similars

>>13933605
Versatile colours: Green, Navy, Khaki, Grey

>>13933187
Jort is that you?

>>13934961
he's a bit of a trendhopper fitwise (going from baggy to slim to baggy with the trends) but most of the time he dresses pretty decent. but he has wide ass hips and narrow shoulders, looks weird sometimes.

>>13934970
Yeah his build is very awkward. I like that he has his personal, recognisable style, rather than wearing cookie cutter prep clothes.
Nothing wrong with following trends btw. Even trad fashion has movement, although very slow. If I look at old dress shirts in my dad's closet from the 80's, things have definitely changed (for the better imo).

>>13934979
forgot pic

>>13934961
>>13934982

Jort looks like a homosexual though. I wouldn't consider him to have a good sense of style altough its commendable to have one in a country as badly dressed as ours.


BTW i you wan't good suit inspo look at hiddema's fits, from degand in brussels, alsways look superb in my opinion

Tie is badly proportioned. Otherwise nice. Would like to see the shoes. I would expect dark brown derbies to work well here.

>>13935573
>>13935415
What do you think about the shirt? Personaly i would go for a plain blue one (same colour). it's a vintage sears suit btw

Difference between Harleys and Jamiesons?

>>13935622
jamieson's is 100% shetland wool. harleys has a slightly more trim fit than jamiesons

>>13935008

What is actually on the tie? Are they pheasants or something? Like another Anon said, i'd probably go for a different size. This would make a tremendous shooting suit if it was cut to allow it. Love the colour.

>>13935640
Thanks.

It's a shame that I can't seem to find any natural coloured Jamieson's sweaters, I've bought some dark colours; black, charcoal, and navy from End but can't find any other stockists. I have no idea if it's possible to request somewhere.

These undyed sweaters seem really nice and satisfy my autistic need to have a 'raw' garment but I'm not sure if I should just try to stop that autism.

>>13935622
How do you decide between
1.crew or polo neck?
2.brushed or non-brushed?

>>13935591
Thats the least offensive thing in the fit, dont change it

>>13935785
Go for crew neck, its far more versatile. Brushed if you live in extremely cold places

>>13935840

Thoughts on the cardigan?


An average fit at work, less prep than usual I guess.
I'm trying to go as "basic" but well fitted as possible as my work aesthetic.

>>13936125
I like the cardigan, but the sweater underneath is awful and really clashes with everything else.

how many of you flyover losers have actually been to the ivy league

>>13936125
I don't think the cardigan works with a sweater underneath

just get a nice shirt

>>13935987
>>13935973
god I love the neck but I wish I could wear a shirt underneath to show sleeve but then it'll be hot as fuck

>>13936201
well do it when it's cold then

>>13935973
>white pants with white background
Genius

>>13936125
As the other 2 said: dont put cardigan and sweater toghether. That cardigan is a bit grandpacore

>>13936141
>>13936197
>>13936215
Thanks for the feedback. Grandpacore is what I'm going for.
And I agree about the sweater. I put the two together quickly this morning.

Also, what kind of shirt would be best? Like a basic button up or do you mean line a black cotton Tee?

>>13909223
Chris-chan tier

>>13935008

can you into trad if you are /fit/ and wear XXLs?

>>13936375
Something like this

>>13936714
No. You're too big. It's still important to be fit though

My hair is getting out of hand. What kind of haircut should I get?

>>13936852
Am I supposed to size up to wear looser fits or let them be tighter?

>>13936863
definetly looser

>>13936856
Whatever you like, but avoid fadings and similars

>>13936856
yung kennedy cut

I don’t dress prep but came to take some inspo since really I own poor quality items.

So I tried an oxford+shetland crew but with sweatpants and somehow it still looks very good as a fit whether tucked or not, even with sweatpants, I can’t really believe how well it worked.

>>13937114

Post pic

>>13936714
Absolutely yes. It's not the *most* traditional physique which is to be fit but not bulky, but it's a hell of a lot better than e.g. being fat, or being a sticklike faggot. You could go for a more "rugby/college" type of air or if you have the money for it, a tailored or possibly MTM English trad style. There was a prewar English cut of having very generous jackets over close waistcoats that would probably work well for you. Avoid slim fit anything, which looks retarded to begin with but double retarded on a swole guy.

>>13937114
sweatpants, thats the least prep thing there is

>>13937154
This
Muscular guys are made for more baggy fits, which funnily enough are usually worn by lanky guys

How do I into prep without tucking in my shirt?

I'm skinny fat so a chub is not attractive

>>13937649
The jeans with the sweater are a good and informal combo but the coat looks much too nice to be paired up

>>13938032
Yeah the coat is not good with the jeans, velvet collar + worn denim clashes terribly. You can tell he was deliberately posed for this shot for that reason, carrying the coat over his shoulder where it just adds a matching color to the rest of the fit.

>>13937649
The rise on those jeans are horrid
