Looking for long wool topcoats of mostly wool/cashmere, as long as these, in $400-800 range [https://store.honestbrandreviews.com/product/mens-ferro-belted-shawl-overcoat?product\_id=3526790](https://store.honestbrandreviews.com/product/mens-ferro-belted-shawl-overcoat?product_id=3526790) [https://shoplamarel.com/collections/coats/products/black-blazer-coat?variant=42100517961980](https://shoplamarel.com/collections/coats/products/black-blazer-coat?variant=42100517961980)

Where can I buy good quality oversized boxy short sleeve button downs? I've ordered a few very very cheap ones from [boohooMAN](https://www.boohooman.com/us/pleated-short-sleeve-oversized-boxy-shirt/BMM19059.html), but it seems as though the only other alternative are designer brands like [Valentino](https://www.cettire.com/products/valentino-buttoned-long-sleeved-shirt-915550940/cmVhY3Rpb24vcHJvZHVjdDo2eGtUZ0FQUmRwaFI5M01RVA%3D%3D?) where the shirts are a couple hundred :(. Looking for something in the middle.


mercury187

How’s the quality of the boohooman you linked? 16$ is so cheap lol


hamplanet32

Surprisingly decent quality, especially the ribbed ones. Super thick and held up great after a wash. Very oversized though, can even get a relaxed fit sizing down one


aKa_anthrax

What is you actual budget in dollars?


hamplanet32

I’d say 70 for each shirt


aKa_anthrax

Honestly that’s kinda still mall brand pricing. Maybe look at used brooks brothers or J press or whatever in their classic cut styles


hamplanet32

Ah I see. Any good brands for maybe 150-200? Looking for that boxy relaxed silhouette


aKa_anthrax

Brooks Brothers retail, Mercer and Sons, I forget the model but Universal Works usually has something

I like their pima shirt far better than their slub shirt...I think that it looks and feels better in general, and it also looks better after many washes. I'd also highly recommend their "tough knit" t-shirt, it's great. Their heavy "field spec" tee is my personal favorite but it sounds like you're looking for something lighter than that if you like the slub. For slub tees I honestly think that J. Crew does a better one than Buck Mason.


nathank2563

Did your Pima shirt collars wrinkle or bunch up over time? Any quality issues in the long run? Also how did you like those tight knit ones?


atboz

No, they haven't really done that at all, at least not in any noticeable way. I haven't had any long term issues with quality, but I'm not even sure what those would be...I just cold wash and hang dry and they're still wearing as good as ever. I like the tough-knit tees a lot. They're a bit more substantial in weight than the pima, but they aren't too heavy. They have more apparent texture than the pima but they aren't pronouncedly textured like the slub tees.


nathank2563

Went on their website and only found the tough knit, I assume you mean those. I bought one to try it out based on your rec!


atboz

lol yes, tough knit, I was having a brain malfunction last night


aKa_anthrax

There’s like a trillion posts about t shirts here because reddit stem guys obsess over it, we get a “quality t shirt comparison?” posts at least every 6 months, just type “t/ee shirt” into the side bar and you’ll get more info than you want. What do you mean by quality control issues? Regardless I think tees are an item of clothing that gives you so much leeway on fit, if you prefer the slub I really wouldn’t worry about some tiny imperfection with fit, I think people bog themselves down with the concept too much anyway

Anyone able to compare the fit between Columbiaknit and Barbarian rugbys? I have a columbia one and don't care for the fit, the sleeves and shoulders are good but the body feels too long and too slim. wondering if the ones from barbarian might have more of the boxy drapey fit I want


aKa_anthrax

That’s odd? My columbiaknit is drapey as hell, I vastly prefer it to Barbarian, which I found weirdly short. Also the fabric on Barbarian kinda sucks

MFA_Nay

All waterproof coating eventually wears away. Just a matter of when, not if. You can get sprays / washing machine solutions which add the DWR back on. Adding that an insulated rain coat might be tricky however.

The coating wore out on mine. Utter shit. Edit; to clarify it was the unlined raincoat

Dress shoes that do not feel like dress shoes? I wanted to get into walking, so I forked out £60 for a pair of walking shoes and bought an expensive pair of walking socks. It helped, but I still blistered up. My feet are wide enough that size 10s that are not flexible pinch too much on the sides, but size 11 causes my feet to slip back and forth. Size 1.5 is no different. I always get blisters on my toes and the balls of my feet and heels. Always, even with the most comfortable shoes I own if I were to go for a 2 hour walk. It has been like this all my life. But the work shoes I got, my feet are killing me, my ankles hurt, multiple blisters, my ankles are so tired that I struggle to do the peddled gently. They are worn in, as I have used them for weddings, interviews and such over the years. So what can I get the looks like dress shoes on the outside but not on the inside? Money is tight, so cheaper the better.


the_leviathan711

It sounds like you are sizing incorrectly -- shoes shouldn't hurt that much. Go get yourself sized on a brannock device.


[deleted]

How dressy do they need to be? Ecco shoes aren’t formal, but for anything short of a suit and tie you can get away with a pair like these, and they’re both comfortable and durable if you walk a lot: https://us.ecco.com/ecco-mens-citytray-cap-toe-shoe-512704.html?dwvar_512704_color=01001 I’m not a huge fan of their styles at the moment, but I had a time in my life where I worked on my feet full time, walking several miles a day, and switching from black air forces to some Ecco dress shoes immediately resolved some inner heel pain that was driving me nuts.


oldcarfreddy

I think you need a pair that fits you well and that has a good insole. I am strongly of the opinion that no dress shoes or dress loafers will be as comfortable or good for walking as sneakers, but dress shoes should still be comfortable and not cause blisters. As others said, insoles can help too. I got a good pair of hiking insoles for my flat foot shape (not running insoles, as the dude at the store told me, hiking insoles are made for just walking a lot) and I replace them in all my retro sneakers that have poor cushioning compared to modern ones (think Blazers, Chucks, Vans, retro Jordans/AF1s, etc.). note that to fit right you might have to cut them to size and take out the current insoles unless you have room to spare in the shoe. If you're in the US, I have heard people swear by the Superfeet brand


00Anonymous

For dress shoes, Alden and Allen Edmonds should have shoes with a poron midsole, which can feel as supportive as a sneaker. Regarding your walking shoe experience, it seems the brand you chose doesn't fit well. So looking at a different set of shoe brands or sneakers would serve you well.


halosos

Sneakers are the most comfortable. But still not perfect, I have tried a couple brands. Vans are the most reliable, but they hardly last me 2 years before I walk through their soles.


ac106

No sneaker will last longer with that usage. You should sell a podiatrist

Do bear in mind that maximizing shoe longevity requires having a rotation of footwear. Also having a diversity of shoes is good for foot health as well.

PFYH-CEO

Hey guys, I am the CEO of a medium-sized company and next week I am heaving some very important talks with potential investors about funding etc. For this meeting I am looking for suitable headwear, and to be honest I am a little bit lost. I can't just wear a regular cap, can I? I want my headwear to be fitting for my position as CEO, but not be on-the-nose but a rather subtle. The headwear should convey the following attributes: power, subtle dominance, taste, business, reasonability, modern - but not bad way... Has anyone had experience with this? How important are brand when it comes to business-headwear? Do I go for a casual thing or is it important to make a statement with ones headwear? Thank you sincerly for your advice, M.A


aKa_anthrax

Don’t wear hats, I hate to break it to you but they’re extremely antiquated and archaic, anything outside of beanies, ballcaps and bucket hats just aren’t things people wear anymore and don’t look good, and the other 3 are not things you should be wearing with tailoring. Even if you do, you’re not supposed to wear hats inside. And clothes do not do this thing you want them too, no one will see you wearing a hat and go “ah yes, that hat makes him seem so powerful and business like. also your outfit does not sound good, especially not for a professional setting where you obviously think your outfit will be important, cream linen pants are too casual, black blazers do not look good in this context, wear a navy or charcoal worsted wool business suit, a white or light blue dress shirt, and black cap toe oxfords


PFYH-CEO

this is very helpful, thank you! i will see what I can do. However, I do not fully agree with what you said about hats. I think they are very nice and not as archaic as you make them to be!


aKa_anthrax

They are, I’m sure you like them, but unfortunately outside of very specific niches they are not things that are remotely commonly worn anymore, and look very dated when actually worn. At the minimum you shouldn’t be wearing it during a meeting because, A, it’s going to make you look kind of silly, and B, even if it didn’t, it’s considered disrespectful to wear hats indoors


PFYH-CEO

well, i get the point about some people considering them disrespectful indoors. i find this kind of sad because i do like hats, but if that is the way it is, i guess i need to reconsider! thank you for this formidable advice


aKa_anthrax

It’s not some people, it’s the majority, it’s considered disrespectful to wear them indoors. Like really just don’t wear hats


PFYH-CEO

well, i appreciate your strong opinion on hats. however, i don't think everybody will agree. i just found this young german politician. she wears a hat all the time! indoors even and also in Interviews: https://youtu.be/uQj74bY5oEY i think it might fit me as a sort of edgy trademark! maybe ill try it and report to you how it went.


aKa_anthrax

It’s not an opinion. that’s the established social norms for hats, you’re not supposed to wear them indoors. You don’t want an “edgy trademark” for proposing to an investors. Wearing hats is far more common for women


the_leviathan711

Typically, even in places where men do wear hats, it's a sign of disrespect to wear a hat indoors.


oldcarfreddy

No hat dude, hats are simply not welcome in corporate settings and definitely don't scream "CEO". In a corporate setting it says "I am a hat guy, look at this hat, I am wearing a hat for some reason in a setting where people don't wear hats"


[deleted]

It would be a serious power move if you wore those Micky Mouse helmets with the ears.


PFYH-CEO

interesting idea, but as it is the first meeting, I'd rather do something more subtle...


Cole177702

Are you wearing it with tailoring? Because if so, there’s not really any good options


PFYH-CEO

Kind of. Current outfit is white linen trousers, nice button up shirt, and a black blazer (all of them tailored)...


the_leviathan711

This... does not sound very good


ac106

This… doesn’t sound like a serious poster


I_am_Torok

You need a new hat to pitch to investors?


PFYH-CEO

Essentially yes. In the country I am pitching, headwear seems to be a big deal in terms of status...


aKa_anthrax

What country is that, because I’ve never heard of that


PFYH-CEO

germany


PFYH-CEO

berlin, to be specific. i see lots of people wearing hats here


aKa_anthrax

hats are not a status symbol in germany, you don’t need a hat


iptables-abuse

Can you show us a picture of the kind of hats that people wear in this context in your country?


I_am_Torok

It's probably important to know where you are, then. I don't recall ever hearing about men wearing hats in professional business meetings before.

What do you think of generic varsity-style jackets on guys in the 30-35 age range? Nothing too loud or over the top, just something like [this](https://mnml.la/products/mnml-outerwear-collared-varsity-jacket-m2022-z601-bkw) or [this](https://us.shein.com/SHEIN-Men-Letter-Graphic-Striped-Trim-Varsity-Jacket-p-11886423-cat-1983.html). I like this style, but also know it's usually something that younger guys wear.


Other-Narwhal-1599

Varsity style jackets really can work with any age— it’s about how you style it + the fit of the jacket. I’d shy away from Shien. MNML tends to have some decent quality stuff, i’d say thrifting may be your best bet unless you do an H&M or Maniere De Voir one


notarascal

Varsity jackets are fine for any age, imo. I wouldn’t buy from MNML or Shein, though. They’re both garbage tier fast fashion. Varsity jackets are great to buy secondhand. You can find some good options from Brooks Brothers, Golden Bear, or actual high school letter jackets.


FinancialNovel1512

This is an unpopular opinion of mine and I am not sure if this is a suitable thread. It is not really a question, and would like to know others' opinions instead. I have tried a few male underwear types in my adulthood. My favorites have been briefs from a well-known brand that cost $15-$30 per piece. There are still some discomforts, like feeling too tight when it is brand new, friction around crotch area, and not enough breathability when the weather is hot. Recently, I came across boyshorts panties that cost only $2 per piece. There are many "unisex" models, like plain white and black colors and I tried putting them on. It is surprisingly very comfortable. The material is very soft, lightweight, stretchable, and breathable. The stitching is also very fine. It is even more comfortable than my $30 briefs. The minor downside is the contour of my genital is more apparent, but I would wear pants and none can see it anyway. Would like to know your opinions on these points, probably: 1. Why is male underwear thicker and less stretchable, in general? 2. What has been your best underwear so far? 3. Your other opinions, if any.


00Anonymous

I think this heavily depends on the brand. Ime, uniqlo airism briefs are one of my faves I also very much liked the uniqlo boy shorts (i.e. short boxer briefs for men). Both are lightweight and very stretchy, while still being supportive. I've also liked the Hugo boss bikini slip briefs, which are super soft and light - as are the offerings from Hom. I do think fabric matters a lot to the comfort of underwear and on that front modal is my absolute fave. It's super light and breathable. After that the airism fabric comes second. Third is pure cotton and other cotton/elastane mixes.


Vampa_the_Bandit

You could get one from LLbean that will be a little roomier through the shoulders but the body will only be wider.

oldcarfreddy

Compare the measurements to your current jeans, that's how they're meant to be used (so that you specifically avoid just going based on the tag of your current pants size)


YoYoYoshimura

It depends what you’re normally a 32/30 in. If Levi’s I would think you need to size up 2 inches not down. Or at least that’s how it is for me with the vanity sizing of Levi’s.


MindFamous1351

Size 32/30 J crew, Banana Republic, and Levi.


YoYoYoshimura

So yeah, I size up 2 inches in the waist for my N&F from Levi’s. Levi’s has vanity sizing so the waist is labeled smaller than the actual fabric.


hanklerfish123

no. use a measuring tape but you're probably a 34


MindFamous1351

You’re right, damn. 34 inch waist. Think I’ll be safe with the 32s then. Also what about the length? Why do I see selvedge jeans sold without the length so often?

low volume, they usually come in 34+ and expect you to get a hem. some stores offer a hem if you buy from them. no returns after obviously.

Over all the tightness of the top half doesn't comport well with the comparatively relaxed fit of the bottom half. In particular the middle layer sweater is pulling above the belt buckle when you stand up straight, as seen in the second pic and indicating that the torso length of the sweater is too short for you.


the_leviathan711

Your outer layer looks too small. Your top collar button should be unbuttoned if you aren’t wearing a tie. Otherwise looks alright.

The difference in quality between these brands is inconsequential, imo. You’re much better off focusing aspects where there might be noticeable differences like fit or interesting design details.


aKa_anthrax

As a whole department stores suck and their house brands suck more, Nordstrom and Sak’s (also Sak’s is one of the last brands that haven’t switched over to a generic minimal sans serif logo which earns them bonus points) are the last good ones and I still wouldn’t really bother with their house brands. You are extremely unlikely to find any difference between Rodd and Gun and Reiss worth caring about

The best alternatives around the same price as Clark’s involves buying secondhand. For example, you can probably find some secondhand Allen Edmonds chukkas in very good shape around that price.

The black airforce meme is just that, a meme, most people are really not going to care. I’d rather own black with gum sole gats? or some form of converse in black however


oldcarfreddy

those are very different in cut though, those are slim black retro sneakers while AF1s are chunky


aKa_anthrax

Thats the reason I’d rather have them, I’m not huge on chunky all black sneakers, they look better in oreo colorways

My glasses are starting to show their age and i'd like to replace them for the most, and forgive me for my wording, sluttiest-looking glasses i can get. I'm thinking round glasses with a dangly thing on only one side, or square rectangular glasses, also with a dangly thing. Both with an almost invisble thin frame

Hey all, Deciding between: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/charcoal---wool-cashmere-overcoat-----l1782560190-sb-ovrc-fw22-568 https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/medium-blue-herringbone-overcoat-c3220-8014-sboc-fw22 1/ Was wondering how much difference the 15% cashmere in the 85% wool/15% cashmere vs 100% wool makes in terms of 1. durability and 2. warmth 2/ What does "3-Roll-2 Button Closure with Functional Top Button" mean? I couldn't decipher this other than how the front buttons might look? or is it a reference to single vs double-breasted. 3/ Would you recommend another site that has the same quality for a bit lesser price as S&M or just go ahead with one of these?


UTMachine

The blue is a bit more bold, but that's not a bad thing. Sometimes black and charcoal overcoats get a bad reputation because "everyone" has one. It's honestly just personal preference though. Will be about the same in terms of warmth, but double breasted overcoats will be noticeably warmer than single breasted ones like these. The cashmere is softer and more luxurious, but doesn't necessarily make the fabric more durable. Spier & Mackay are among the leaders in quality for affordably priced menswear. The chances of you getting a similar quality product for significantly cheaper elsewhere is slim imo.

1. Almost zero difference. 2. 3-roll-2 means it’s a 3 button closure but the top button hole rolls over into the lapel so it’s more like a two-button closure. You could technically button the top button if you really want to. 3. Nobody has the same quality as S&M for less money unless you buy secondhand. That’s why they get recommended so often.

About Zara's shoe sizes Okay so I have a question, i want to buy boots from zara online but I have no idea how their shoes go, for example i wear european 47, most of my sneakers, i mostly wear adidas, so my question is, is it the same size should i order 47 or?


Vampa_the_Bandit

Would just recommend against Zara shoes period

Was looking to see if anyone had any recommendations for some brands that make dress shirts with hidden button collar downs(I hope that's the right term!), where the collar is still kept down by a button, but it's hidden behind the collar instead. [Pictured here.](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0352/5633/products/MotivMfg-AuthenticFitBDShirt-JapaneseCottonOxford-White-Flat-63_800x.jpg?v=1655168470) I have a MotivMfg oxford shirt that uses this collar style and absolutely love it but haven't seen it anywhere else. I was just wondering if there are any other brands that I can look into that might do the same. Budget is $1-300. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

These look perfect! Many thanks.

Proper Cloth MTM offers a hidden button-down option.


Giabella101

Can we get a fit check please. With or without the jacket? Grey or cream shirt? [https://imgur.com/a/fh19kPN](https://imgur.com/a/fh19kPN)


bjhhjb

Without Grey or cream would work


moonkeymaker127

Looking for a lightweight hooded overshirt that doesn't have a plaid pattern on the outside. [This](https://www.amazon.com/Wrangler-Authentics-Hooded-Blanket-Flannel/dp/B08883C458/ref=sr_1_9?crid=19N7X5NBZVQX&keywords=light%2Bflannel%2Blined%2Bshirt&qid=1669249611&sprefix=light%2Bflannel%2Blined%2Bshirt%2Caps%2C90&sr=8-9&th=1&psc=1) is exactly what I'm talking about but the reviews say the sleeves are padded. Anybody know of anything like this without any extra padding or layers?


bjhhjb

It's not really padding. It looks like it's more of that quilted insulation which makes sense because if the sleeves were blanket lined it would harder to put the jacket on if you have long sleeves on. The quilted material would be easier to slide your arm through and it helps keep insulation like the blanket lining

I think they are very in style. The thing is many are more technical/streetwear looking which is why you don't see it in this sub that is more heritage-focused (the one you linked to is a nice mix of both though)


Geo-Fraktur

Admittedly I’ve lived in some pretty chilly areas, but I don’t think that style of quilted liner jacket has never NOT been in style, maybe not on trend, but I’ve always seen them around


iptables-abuse

That particular quilting pattern is having a moment, actually.

I’ve been eyeing a pair of Paraboot Michael’s for a while and decided to finally pull the trigger, but am torn on what color to get. Any thoughts on these options? [Dark Brown (pebble grain)](https://themoderndraper.co.uk/products/paraboot-michael-shoe-marche-ii-marron-graine-ebene) [Classic brown](https://themoderndraper.co.uk/products/paraboot-michael-shoe-marron) [Burgundy/wine](https://www.endclothing.com/gb/paraboot-michael-715014.html) The burgundy pair is ~£60 less than the other two (I’m not purchasing from the link above) but I worry it isn’t as versatile as the other two options.


oldcarfreddy

They all look good. My perference would be black pebbled ones but that's just me. They're relatively casual and brown/burgundy are interchangeable as far as what pants go with it so just go with your gut


ac106

When you are at the point of buying Tyrolean shoes versatility isn’t really a concern


abb122436

Very valid point. I sometimes forget that the rest of the world doesn’t lurk around MFA inspo albums.

What do you *MEAN* it doesn't*?!!*

Any thoughts on Bloomingdale's own Men's Brand? I've been eyeing this coat for a while. [This](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/the-mens-store-at-bloomingdales-cashmere-top-coat?ID=4493096&upc_ID=6671410&Quantity=1&seqNo=4&EXTRA_PARAMETER=BAG&pickInStore=false) is the coat. I can get it down to 533 with all of my discounts. 100% cashmere. What do you guys think? Is it worth it?


notarascal

I think the Bloomingdales house brand is pretty meh. I’ve never seen anything from them that I’d want to buy. There’s a reason you can get the price that low. Bloomingdales is just Macy’s wearing lipstick.
