What's wrong with GTH items, pastel colours, embroidered clothing, colourful belts/socks?

>>15002595
Nothing wrong with that.

>>15002595
People tend to associate those things with fratcore, I think it's just people who get over-cautious at looking like these types. Now, there's nothing wrong with being in a frat as such, there are good and bad ways to wear almost everything.

>>15002595
Pastel colors aren't inherently bad, but most of the other items, especially embroidered pants, just look silly. Like something a "preppy" character in a sitcom would wear.

>>15002702
That looks fucking awful. Let me guess, KJP?

>>15002879

Is anyone into somewhat prep themed clothing (wool sportscoats) tied in with menswear? These threads are always 100% prep but in reality, they are re-posts of a past age of prep and there are very rarely any actual legit posters who wear it.

Yet the average age on this board is 18 so we never have menswear threads.

I want inspo of black pants and sports coats, that kind of aesthetic.

OCBD is ascending.

Im sick and tired of winter. Prep winter fashion is too tryhard, the spring and summer fashion is effortless

>>15002929
There are a shitton of menswear forums tho, like styleforum which is active as fuck (and also really good if youre into menswear)

>>15002966
Yeah I go there, but I still like being around here. Why don't we have menswear here? I am sure it is just down to the average poster being very young here. I like prep inspired but I do like blacks too and every time it is mentioned NOOO U CAN'T HAVE BLACK IN PREP!!

That's again without even mentioning 99% of these threads the posters don't even dress prep. They post old catalogue photos, movies and so on. I own 15 tweed jackets and I doubt people own 1 here.

>>15002787
Remove ties and in those, and you have decent summer outfits

>>15002975
Sorry are trying to say something? Or just blabbering.

>>15003022
Cringe and exactly my point. You are a full on larper. Basically a troll.

>>15002504
How would you style a biker jacket to fit a casual prep/trad outfit? I know it's not generally something that goes with this kind of fashion, but that's kinda why i like it.

>>15002879
Idk about elsewhere, but they're pretty normal in the south. I see people with crawfish, dog, duck, or school embroidered pants pretty often. I don't own any, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't buy any. It's a totally normal clothing item for preppy people here.

>>15002963
This depends on your age. What's try hard when you're 20 is comfortable when you're 30.
>>15002975
Older Anon here. Black in menswear is fine unless you're the guy who thought a black dress shirt would be appropriate. A black turtle neck or roll neck, sure, but a black dress shirt is cringe in all circumstances except Johnny Cash roleplay.
>>15003028
We will both get shit on for this, but Jean's, polo, and loafers. If you're a southernfag like me, you can probably wear boots too, but then you've certainly ventured out of TIP into other territory. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. Limiting yourself to one style is dumb. That obviously doesn't mean you should post other styles in this thread though. I'm not saying all of this because I think you're dumb, but I guarantee someone will be.

>>15002975
>I own 15 tweed jackets
『Literally Me』

>>15002929
>>15002975
It's hard to take this kind of posting seriously since black is pretty much entirely out in classic menswear, reserved for black tie and white tie only, and maybe a knit tie to wear with light suits. I have four tweed suits and five loose coats and I would never go darker than charcoal for any informal article of clothing.

>>15003068
That blazer seems to fit unproperly, but hard to judge with that pose

>>15002507
Is that a field jacket?

>>15003026
Absolutely based. Keep fighting the good fight lads.

>>15003066
I like something like black chinos, dark grey sweater and dark grey wool sportsjacket.

I am not really talking menswear as in dress up suit, but casual wear, casual blacks.

>>15003068
Yeah and probably 1 of about 2 legit posters here which puts off others posting because 99% of those adding comments about a fit don't even dress that way.

>>15003097
I just like black chino style pants and I want good fits for them to go with. You are either saying you have to be all prep or all classic menswear.

>>15003110
Safari Jacket I think, so kinda.

>>15003110
Safari jacket although the two do have their similarities.

>>15003110
(Belted) safari jacket judging from the color/fabric.
>>15003099
I've gotten the pose criticism many times, my point is, a neutral pose looks stiff and unorganic, thus silly, especially when combined with my shitty camera, angle and lighting.

>>15003121
>You are either saying you have to be all prep or all classic menswear.
No I'm not, I'm saying that it's a weird complaint either way because black does not go into any informal menswear style, whether prep or trad. Lamenting the lack of quality menswear discussion while simultaneously complaining about how nobody wants to discuss your black chino fits is strange, since any "legit" poster anywhere would tell you that they're hard to fit with anything else and not to wear them. It's like critiquing the thread for the lack of fits incorporating hot pink sportcoats and saying that shows the low level of discussion here.

>>15003121
>I like something like black chinos, dark grey sweater and dark grey wool sportsjacket
Not my taste, but nothing to cry over like I'm sure people do. There are plenty of black garments that can look good in the TIP canon and otherwise, especially if you have darker skin tones. I'm pale as a ghost though so I avoid it at least partially for that reason. A fitted black polo with a pair of high rise flannels is menswear kino though. Black short sleeve button downs can also work with linen pants for a summer look for tan complexions. There are a lot of options for black that pale and/or young people simply can't pull off. You're alright, Anon.

>>15003137
I mean things like pic related

>>15003139
I am white and pale lol. I am 30+ 6'2" 220lbs lifter involved in the world of sport. I think well fitted blacks suit my look.

>>15003153
They probably keep you from looking too bulky so I agree. Like I said, that sort of thing looks good and anons are just being autistic.

>>15003178
Really, people are trying to get others to dress like pic related.

Which could be OK if you are out in the country, even if you are a teacher but going to a bar on Friday night? I don't think so..

The people "advising" are 18 and have never even dressed that way too.

>>15003153
>I mean things like pic related
Which looks bad, yeah. A featureless column with a sportcoat thrown over it. What's your point?

>>15002975
I mostly dress full menswear but don't really bother posting much OC since the general populace and attitude here is shit and most people have no idea what they are talking about.

>>15003364
Looks really good and I agree, the outcome means the few legit posters stop posting or go to some other place. I just know some kid in a hoodie sat at his screen is going to post some negative nonsense so it's just pointless. Other forums have decorum and a generally positive atmosphere.

>>15003192
Lol I'm the anon you're responding to and both of those describe me and how I dress, but I do dress differently if I'm going to the bar. TIP is more flexible than people here often realize. Also the word "traditional" is largely overlooked in favor of the other two.
>>15003364
Based, agreed, and same.

>posts a member of the British royal family in classic British tailoring
>to begin a thread about prep/Ivy fashion

As always, reactionaries literally don't know their fucking history, and do things like lump very distinct aesthetics, one of which was directly developed against the other, into one basket because all that matters is "old" and "socially élite" to them.

>>15003510
Nobody cares about that shit anymore since literally half way trough the '60s

>>15003552
And yet here OP is making a thread about it and trying to bring it back, without even understanding what it is!

>>15003510
...the fact that they're in opposition to each other is what puts them into the same basket. That, and everyone IRL who isn't a status-obsessed loser instinctively recognises their similarities.

>>15003618
>their similarities

They're both styles of Western menswear, built around the lounge suit. The British style is more structured and traditionally masculine, and hews closer to the martial roots of the lounge suit. The American style is more unstructured, with a relaxed straight "sack" fit.

If you think these things look the same, it's because you're illiterate in the very deliberate styling language they work in. Which makes sense, and is fine, because outside social contexts where the suit is still a uniform almost nobody dresses like this anymore. Unless you're trying to position yourself as all "trad" with it.

>>15003364

The Brits put the Trad in TIP you stupid fag. Prep is also largely a British creation. You're fucking clueless and you have a shit attitude. Gtfo of my thread.
>Trad
>American
Choose only one.

Visited the local country clothes shop today, got a few questions. First, what pairs well with widish wale olive corduroy for casual wear, assuming I can find some in a good fit? Second, for the life of me I couldn't find a jacket I'd like to wear there that wasn't specifically a hunting jacket. Looking at Ralph lauren I kinda like their wool thigh length, diamond quilted, and waxed cotton parka coats. Problem is, they're way too expensive for me unless I catch them on a sale while I'm also flush or luck the fuck out in tk maxx. Short of this, anyone got any advice for finding a good autumn through winter coat that actually looks good? Some taper to the waist or a belt would also be nice. I'd go with a waxed cotton jacket but imo they don't pair well with anything other than denim or leather. Also, what should I look for in a good wool coat?

>>15003854
Thanks for the lesson in a bunch of shit I already knew because I have access to youtube. The details of fit differences doesn't make trad/ivy/prep any less of a valid grouping for general discussion.

>>15003933
>First, what pairs well with widish wale olive corduroy for casual wear, assuming I can find some in a good fit?
A black or brown (maybe too country looking) coat, perhaps. Olive trousers are not especially versatile.
>anyone got any advice for finding a good autumn through winter coat that actually looks good? Some taper to the waist or a belt would also be nice.
Barbour has plenty of the quilted jackets that meet that description. There's also their renowned waxed cotton jackets, but they're more expensive. But why are you stocking up for Autumn/Winter?

>>15003995
I don't really wear coats in summer, I'm also hoping to hit some sales.

That's a shame, they look really nice. Also yeah, I don't want to look too country. I live in it but I'm not really of it, I just want to dress a little more my age and not like the 19 year old that picked all of my current clothes some 7 years ago. There's also navy cords, but they risk looking too dressy if I don't pair them right. Moleskin and wool look nice, but have similar problems.

Any advice on the wool?

>>15004016
I'd go looking through second-hand/vintage stores for wool coats. Construction/materials (no less than 90% wool on the outer) are more important than brand, but you can be assured Burberry ('Burberry's' in older garments) or Aquascatum are probably high quality if you get lucky. Give strong preference to coats made in first world countries.

>>15002504

>>15003364
where did you get those trousers?

I know theres a lot of hate towards "slim fit" stuff in previous threads, but what exactly is the problem? I can see why skinny doesnt suit the look but whats the problem with something being a bit fitted

>>15004464
People need to ubderstand the difference between tailored and slim. 60s style is tailored, close fitting but not tight. Thats ideal

>>15004464
It’s about modesty. The more skin tight You made the pants the less modest it is. Trad pants should be drapey and relaxed. With prep you can go a little more fitted but really you should have a bespoke tailored fit which is contoured you to ur body

>>15004464
I like slim dress shirts.

>>15002988
my issue with fratcore is that it's all about flexing. Dressing nice should subtle and neat and all about respect for yourself and others.

I'm getting an extra 700 dollars soon.
What should I buy?

What core is this? Is it prep, trad or what? Basically I just want to dress like Felipe all the time.

Derbies or loafers as someone who wants a casual pair of shoes that isn't a sneaker?

>>15005159
Casual menswear with a 60's Mediterranean inspired aesthetic. Check out Sunspel and Ripa Ripa.

>>15003882
What's wrong with Norwegian derbies now? That pair is from Heschung, waterproof and with a great sole that fits the Nordic winters very well.
>>15004211
Made to measure from a Finnish company called Herrainpukimo.

>>15005148
Thats the slim from the 60s yeah. Modern slim is more like 60s skinny

>>15005159
>>15005162
Thats how every upper class 40 year old in Western Europe dresses-core

>>15005159
Prep but with a mediterranean twist, that involves other type of items that you can see in Felipe's fits: white pants, different kinds of patterned shirts, menorquinas, different type of collares...

Listen, stick man. Go make a menswear thread with old man jankins if you feel like you failed to convince people here to buy into the modern menswear mumbo jumbo

>>15005216
Buying Loafers (that actually fit) is probably the hardest type of shoe to buy. Whereas, Derbies are the easiest, because of their open lacing flexibility.

>>15004464
slim fit is everything and everywhere. I'd wager most visiting this thread are trying to escape that ubiquitous and obnoxious silhouette so its frustrating having sexcore fags whine about the *one* space their low effort uniqlo fits arent appreciated.

Slim fit is a crutch that eschews nuances in drape and silhouette for crudely clinging to the body. Its boring and mass produced. The devil is absolutely in the details when it comes to TIP, and there just always seems to be a correlation between ignorance to those details and awkward, unwanted bowlegged, elastene riddled slim fit potato shots.

>>15005897

>>15005582
Dude it looks prep but could pass for safari-core. Looks great!

The golden rule is if someone comments and it's abusive stupid shit. don't listen to them. Look even now you resort to insults, you are a child who doesn't own a single prep piece. Back under the bridge, you seething troll.

Literal autist right here. Can't understand the difference between me calling some troll a clown and not the person posting his fit. I never said anything trolling about his fit. I just called out people like you who just throw shit at the very few posters that post here which makes people not even bother. That's why you are just a troll. Here from boredom to just be nasty and bitter. Do one, you pathetic low self esteem incel.

>>15006158
His pants aren’t fine. They’re cheap, slim, 3rd world country made, synthetic garbage. You’ll never be /tip/ no matter how hard you try, Celiacdieasedrakehrurbwjai9283763

No because it's not 1957 and you feel the need to be such an elitist little turd calling out people because their pants were not made in a certain country. Give me a break. You're a loser.

You honestly think this guy going about his business irl someone is going to walk past him and go HURRR NOT FULL TIP MY DOOOD, THOSE PANTS WERE NOT MADE IN X COUNTRY!!

How are you real? Cringe and pathetic.

>>15006261
Sounds about right, they are just here to shit talk others because they are bitter inside. They talk about what tip is and what it isn't, I'm pretty sure it's not tearing down others who are into the same thing and learning and trying to make them feel like shit.

>>15006286
Hahaha.
You’re either /tip/ or not. Don’t try to change it. Oooh you know what, you can join Dark Academia. It’s a very muted trad and prep mixed in with modern shit like doc martens and all that. They also like to pretend that it didn’t originate from WASP n chevs so they renamed it and mixed modern stuff into it(like I said before). It’s like what you and others who post here are trying to do. I suggest joining the rejects or make your own new thing so you can be in your own little safe space. That goes out to all of (You). God speed

>>15003364

>I am sure many of the fit haters are people who posted fits in the past and got rekt, so now they hate the rest
All they did was tell some anon who posted a pretty decent fit here a while back that he had a “pear shaped body”. That’s when all hell broke loose. Everyone started getting all insecure and became sjws. The real reason why people talk shit about people’s fits is bc the majority wear slim fit. Like I said before don’t try to change /tip/. Go wear your long johns elsewhere. Try Dark Academia like the rest of the rejects(Not you in particular).

What is the tie knot, is it four-in-hand?
Also I noticed if people wear a gilet, they pull the tie out a bit, what is that called?

I've found a good tailor who does stuff like this for cheap, and through next couple of months, i will switch all my clothes. I'm going back to an earlier period.

What i really want to find is sweaters similar to the pic related, so if anyone has any suggestions, and please if you hate, don't bother to comment

>>15006679
>and please if you hate, don't bother to comment
You’re just asking for it lol that’s all custom made

/sp/ tourist here.

I need suggestions brehs. I want to start dressing preppy but don’t even know where to start. I train Muay Thai heavily so I have pretty thick legs. If anybody knows boxing my build is similar to Anthony Joshua but except I’m 5’11 and not as lean as him. I mostly wear athleisure unless I’m at work but I need to switch it up.

I got my first pair of straight leg pants and I gotta say, I like them. I was afraid they'd be too baggy feeling but they're fine. They're still pretty low rise though.
What are some brands that are decent with higher rise and 100% cotton? Preferably under 100USD

Deep down I feel like being muscular, in a sense, looks try hard on it’s own so the clothing needs to be modest/subtle.

>>15006915
Based and screenshotted. But why not polyester? Too many of the slacks in my price range are 50%+ polyester

You'll sweat like a pig with those, also, after sometime it becomes smelly and loses colour faster than cotton.

What does that mean? You mean loafers are a good a way to tell someone isn't a pleb?

>>15006931
It isn’t /tip/ and most importantly the quality isn’t there, anon. Try eBay. Tons of great deals there for the low. Look for “NWT” in the description if you want them new. Make sure you don’t buy factory seconds either. If you’re gonna spend a lot on something make sure it says “authentic” in the description.

>>15007197
Is or isn't. If you see some well constructed, tasteful loafers then you know someone probably has their shit together. If you see someone wearing green suede bit loafers like some kind of sprezzatura menswear autist then you know they're a pleb

Are you looking for super casual shoe? Then go with the cavanaugh.
I'm guessing these are your first 'nice' shoes, so I'd advise going with a better color

Your insecurity and coping is so fucking obvious lmfao.

>>15008722
well memed my friend. have fun "coping" as the kids say with your statistically likely to divorce and take all your shit life partner. ill be enjoying a relaxing evening in tonight with a man who can comfortably bench press me.

so i like a relatively form fitting cut to my trousers. not much, but enough to show off my natural shape to some degree, at least in what ways flatter. to do this, i normally belt my jeans above my hip bone, which i find has the added effect of making my thighs seperated comfortably by fabric, and showing off the shape of my arse. now call this heresy if you will, but im toying with getting a pair of ralph lauren classic preppy cut chinos in preparation for summer. will i look like a total twat if i try wearing them like that? it works with my dark levi 502s, my old tatty bootcut jeans, and my ralph lauren slim fit cords atm. i just dont know if i could comfortably pull this off with that cut in a chino.

>>15008729
You sound like you arent even a real homo but jusr some guy who couldnt get a women so started fucking men.

you dont know enough real homos then. most of the gay men ive met pity straight men.

>>15005162

>>15008745
i kinda dont want that room though. dont get me wrong, i dont want a visible dick line, but i do like the seam of the trouser riding between my arse cheeks a little. i find its both more comfortable and more visually appealing.

>>15008754
>>15008745
i should mention, this items a jean style chino not on their website, likely older stock. similar colour and i think shape to the one i posted though.

>>15008737

Know your measurements. If the description doesn't state the measurements, contact the seller. Obviously it won't all fit perfectly, in a matter of fact some may be unwearable but with a alterations tailor it could look bespoke to the average person.

this is a fucking stupid question, but is it at all feasible to get pants that have really nice quality material and are cheap but in a horrible fit drastically altered (i.e. a traditional relaxed fit to a slim fit)?

>>15009044

I don't even know what you're asking. It's like asking is it possible to get leather canvas boot shoes.

Get some 100% wool slim or at least tapered fit.

>>15009222
Traditional doesn't always mean baggy either, a traditional fit jacket that fits across your chest to your exact measurements will look fitted on you, not baggy.

>>15009144
I think this infographic is very good except for those 2 items from bottom right

>>15009248
i mean, some fustian type trousers are fucking terrible material. shit feel, shit look, no luster to it at all. ive come across some really cheap and surprisingly good quality cords and moleskins, but theyre bordering on a straight leg cut that would absolutely work if i was built like a farmer but im not. im wondering what alterations can be done to fit, and if it would be possible to take something like that and give it more shape or whether i should just stick to ralph lauren slim fit and pay the premium for it.

>a traditional fit jacket that fits across your chest to your exact measurements will look fitted on you, not baggy.
but it will be loose at the natural waist, where id prefer a jacket to come in a bit.

>>15009277
>cords and moleskins, but theyre bordering on a straight leg cut

Yeah they often wont make those skinny or whatever as not many young people wear them at least not in fast high street fashion.

But the pants and the jacket can be tapered to being them in. It's a very simple alternation. I'm always telling people to learn basic tailoring and get the fit you want with pants. The waists are harder but to bring pants in and taper to slim the material is just taken in like an inch and stitched together. You can even do this without cutting the pants in case you fuck up.

>>15009277
>but it will be loose at the natural waist, where id prefer a jacket to come in a bit.


Let me add more to do this too. When a slim fit jacket does that, it brings in the item all over. the arms, the chest and generally just feels uncomfortable like under the arms. Unlike a classic fit that if it fits your chest right, you can just bring in the sides and taper them.

Although some classic fit do that anyway, what you are talking about is a sack fit that just drops down.

>>15009300
>what you are talking about is a sack fit that just drops down.
effectively yeah, my problem with a lot of mens clothing is that it fits like a sack, and bringing it in a little touch around the joints, at least following the natural shape of the leg/torso does a world of good.

>>15009295
how much should i expect to pay for this alteration work?

How do I into sprezzatura? I know this is the conservative grandpa thread, but I'm more into the Italian style

>>15009339
The alteration work is not much, it's at the bottom end of alterations. Look at my artistic picture. The red is how it would be taken in.

Basically the parts are taken in (the longest part) stitched in about 10 seconds, the excess material then cut off inside and then that is stitched again in about 10 seconds to stop it fraying.

If you want to know exactly what I mean, this guy is a good way to see about taking clothes in and how it;s simple and haw much of a big affect it has.

>Taking tailoring advice from a guy who owns a scab jacket

>>15009371
Refute my replies than. The jacket is supposed to look that way. I can tailor plenty of things and use a sewing machine.

>>15009385
judging on how you put the scab jacket together you have the sewing skills of an autistic 4 year old

>>15009391
You are adding nothing to the thread, you are helping nobody. I posted a video of someone else to perfectly show what I mean. What are you doing?

The jackets arms were just cut off and left, that's the aesthetic. Maybe you have autism to not understand this.

>>15009398
i was referring to your shit patch placement.
also very shit taste in patches.

>>15009401
So now you are correlating patch and band choices to tailoring? Are you OK there? Do you need a lie down? You are making no sense, anon.

What does /tip/ think about dark academia?

>>15009404
you did a shit job sewing on the patches
and one that dips their toes in two styles can pull neither off well. at least choose non shit bands.
do they do your tailoring for you for free at brooks brothers kids?

>>15009410
You can't even see the stitching. The aesthetic is supposed to be all messed up, judging by your posts, I achieved that. Why are you so upset?

I am poor. I grew up poor. I didn't have the choice but to learn to do things for myself. I still think highly of you anon.

im dressin today in some ivory cords, navy turtleneck, and a navy cardigan with some white stripes

>>15009405
I think it's just earth tone /tip/ and doesn't warrant being a subcategory. Fans of dark academia are probably afraid of being associated with preppy people or something.

is this okay for babby's 2nd sports coat? It's 100% wool (suit supply)

Just tailor your blazers so they actually fit already.

>>15003364
You need to change the pants. The grey doesn't go with the brown imo. Blue flannels would be better.

Otherwise your fit is a billion times better than most of the dorks here.

It was born in the US, but it's popular in Europe, so you can wear it too.

>>15011843
im trying to really lean more english with things, more classic trousers cuts rather than jeans for example. besides tattersalls and the usual country stuff tho im struggling to come up with ways to straddle the line between american prep and classic english menswear. i dont particularly fancy looking like a pretentious wannabe country estate owner, i just wanna look like i take care of myself and pride in my appearance, and express a little of my own tastes.

Oxford cloth works great with tweed because it's a rougher cloth; you can skip the buttondown collar if you want to be more trad about it. but there's no real need for that either as long as the collar's big enough to give a good roll.

>>15012539
Two different materials. No real idea on >>15012476, might be a cotton/linen blend or a light wool. >>15012473 looks like wool flannel or maybe a softer, midweight moleskin though.

What type of pants & shoes should I look into for trad?

>>15012795
Pleated pants should be high waist. The vertical pleats make you look taller.

I don't think those heavy soles would mesh well with the preppy look you usually pair with boat shoes.

The collar roll, the s-shape you get when a button-down is properly made. A lot of modern shirts don't have it because the collars are so small

>>15014394
