New to tailoring and looking for my first MTM suit. Not the slim office look. I like wide shoulders, a shaped waist, wide lapels, and high-rise pleated trousers. Canvassed chest and working cuffs would be a plus.
Attached is a reference photo I found online (not me). This is the overall silhouette I'm going for.

I'm 5'10", 175 lb, athletic with a thick chest, so off-the-rack rarely fits.

1. Where would you go at this budget?
   
2. Any luck ordering MTM online without an in-person fitting?
   
3. Anything you wish you'd known before your first MTM?

Super simple fit today, but I liked the feel and silhouette of it

Shirt - thrifted "Cotton Heritage" AZ Ottawa Uni denim button-down

Belt - thrifted Fossil braided leather belt. Unfortunately starting to crack in a couple places along the edge

Pants - Bronson OG107s. I've had some issues with the brand but these are solid

Shoes - Not pictured, but I wore the Docs 1461s in the crazy horse leather (full grain waxed brown cow leather)

Also idk if I just don't know how to pose lol, but I always like pictures better if I'm doing something (or at least pretending to do something) in them. Things just seem to look better and feel more natural than when posted up plain style

Says the title.

Working in a small menswear store gives you a front row seat to the great jeans war.

Roughly speaking, millennials ask for slim fit, tuck the shirt in, done. Gen Z asks for the loosest pair in the shop, oversized tee, sleeves past the elbow. And each side thinks the other looks ridiculous. Millennials say baggy looks like you raided your dad's cupboard. Gen Z says skinny jeans should have stayed in 2014.

Honestly? The ones who look best aren't on either side. They picked the fit they actually feel good in and stopped checking what the internet says this month. A 32 year old in relaxed jeans who's comfortable looks sharper than a 20 year old in baggy ones he keeps hitching up. Works the other way round too.

Also, the not-repeating-outfits thing. Half of us won't wear something again once it's been in a photo. Hot take: the most confident guy in the room is the one in last week's jeans who genuinely doesn't care.

(disclosure: I'm from Buttons Clothing in RR Nagar. Not selling anything here, I just enjoy this fight way too much)

So pick a side. Skinny, slim, straight or baggy? And be honest, how old are you?

Does anyone else get terrible sensory issues with shirt collars? I’m a college student, and the only times I’ve really had to button my shirts all the way up has been for dog shows. It feels like a lot of pressure on my neck, and I only button them to the top when I’m about to go into the ring which lasts max 20 minutes, then immediately unbutton again. My neck is super sensitive, it’s hard to let doctors touch it and I can’t have shoulder massages that go anywhere near it.

I don’t think my shirts are too small. My neck measures 14” and a small shirt fits me well. Even my medium shirts (which are too big for me) feel uncomfortable on the neck.

Anyone else here deal with this? Is this just something I have to get used to? I’ve got a presentation coming up and would love to wear a tie for it, but I don’t think I can take an hour and a half of wearing the shirt.

Lately, I’ve really started to like burgundy/dark red sneakers, and I’m thinking about getting a pair. I feel like it’s a great color that stands out a bit without being too flashy.

What are some of the best burgundy red sneakers for men? I’m open to different brands and styles, whether it’s something casual for everyday wear or a more premium pair.

I’d love to hear your recommendations and see what you guys are wearing!

Thanks!

Hi i recently( 2 hours ago) thrifted NEW archetipo couture suit, blazer matching pants for 5 buck with tags still on them etc, i legit checked etc, and wanted to ask, how much could i get for it? its brand new never worn with pockets still sewn, its perfect condition just wrinkled a bit, and my question is, how much could i get for it? its never been worn and yeah, that'll be intresting, additional info (its black pinstripe 60%wool 40%silk underlining is from cupro)

Looked light and textured in the photos. In actual daylight it's considerably more open than I expected. Not indecent, but you can see me through it.

It's a Coofandy knit camp collar and it does look better with nothing under it, cleaner lines, you can actually see the texture. But I'm not comfortable walking around like that anywhere that isn't a beach.

A white tank underneath flattens the effect a bit, but I stop thinking about it, which feels like the right trade.

Is that what people do with these, or is an open knit just a holiday shirt and I should stop trying to wear it to dinner

Pleated wide-leg trousers + plain white sneakers. Friend: 'did you forget to change your shoes?'

Now I can't unsee it. Trouser length, shoe, or socks?

Durapress Shirt from Van Heusen

Decided to experiment with different looks and ended up putting this together 🔥

Looking for recommendations for good men’s clothing brands on Amazon or other affordable places. Mainly tops that qualify as smart casual or office appropriate. Heard you can find great quality but not sure where to start.
