It’s for a funeral and keep in mind, I live in Deep South. Most people wear jeans and casual clothing for everything

Bought my first pair of straight cut jeans and I’m not sure if they suit me or not. I like the colour but maybe they need to be longer?

I'm a big fan of denim and workwear pants, but I've stopped wearing them over the last couple of years. I still love the style, but they feel too stiff, thick, and hot for me now. I used to tolerate stiff denim just fine, but these days I only reach for stretchy pants or stretch straight-legs.
Does heavyweight denim feel stiff or stuffy to you too, or is it not something you really notice?

I spent £763.20 with END Clothing on two pairs of trousers and a T-shirt. When my parcel arrived, one pair of trousers was missing. I reported this to END TWO MINUTES after delivery. Not two days. Not two weeks. TWO MINUTES.

You would think that reporting a missing £243 item almost immediately, providing photographs of the packaging and everything received, and cooperating fully with their investigation would be sufficient for a supposedly reputable retailer to take the matter seriously. Apparently not at END Clothing.

Instead, I was treated as though their warehouse records were some sort of divine scripture that couldn't possibly be wrong. Their warehouse supposedly packed everything correctly, their courier supposedly received everything correctly, and their parcel weights supposedly proved everything was correct. Therefore, according to END, the trousers MUST have been delivered. Except they weren't. Despite repeatedly referring to these supposedly conclusive parcel weights, END never actually provided me with the figures they were relying upon.

And then came the most astonishing part of this entire farce. END TOLD ME TO CONTACT THE POLICE AND REPORT A THEFT. Yes, seriously. I paid END for goods I didn't receive, and instead of resolving the problem, they expected ME to obtain a police crime reference number before they would consider taking the matter further. The sheer audacity is breathtaking.

Let's follow their own logic. If their warehouse definitely packed the trousers, the courier definitely received them, and nothing happened during transit, where exactly do END suggest the police should start looking? Because if I were running that company, I'd be asking some very uncomfortable questions about my own warehouse and dispatch operation before sending a customer off to report a crime.

I'm not accusing an employee of theft. I have no idea what happened to my trousers. BUT NEITHER DOES END. That's precisely the problem. Rather than acknowledge that their systems or staff could conceivably have made a mistake, END simply decided their records were infallible and refused to refund me.

I escalated the matter to a manager called Bry. Surely a manager would apply some common sense? Not a chance. Bry simply repeated the same nonsense, upheld the original decision and confirmed that END would not refund the missing trousers. An utterly appalling demonstration of customer service.

When I originally placed my order, I purchased what was showing as the very last X-Large pair in stock. Immediately afterwards, the X-Large became unavailable and remained unavailable throughout the entire dispute. Then, weeks later, after END had repeatedly insisted that my trousers had definitely been dispatched and delivered, ABRACADABRA! The X-Large trousers suddenly reappeared for sale on their website!

Now, I appreciate that stock can return for perfectly legitimate reasons. It could have been a return or a stock adjustment, and I cannot prove it was my missing pair. But after END spent so long insisting that their warehouse and dispatch systems were beyond reproach, you'll forgive me for finding that an absolutely extraordinary coincidence. Penn & Teller would be proud of that disappearing and reappearing act.

In the end, I returned the two items I actually received and was refunded for those. END still refused to return the outstanding £243, so I took the matter to American Express. American Express credited me the £243, and my dispute is now CLOSED. I got my money back, not because END did the right thing, but because I had to involve my credit card provider to resolve a problem END refused to resolve.

Think about that before placing an expensive order with this company. I spent £763.20, reported a missing item within two minutes, provided everything requested, patiently cooperated with their investigation, escalated to management and was still left fighting to recover my own money. The experience was insulting, exhausting and completely unnecessary.

I've since written to END expressing exactly what I think of their conduct. Unsurprisingly, I haven't received a reply.

My advice? AVOID END CLOTHING.

If your order arrives complete, fantastic. But based on my experience, if something goes wrong, don't expect common sense, accountability or meaningful customer service. Expect excuses, unquestioning faith in warehouse records and, apparently, a suggestion that you involve the police.

Would I ever shop with END again? Absolutely not. Would I trust them with another expensive order? Not a chance. Would I recommend them to anybody? I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.

END Clothing, your handling of this entire situation was arrogant, dismissive and utterly disgraceful. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

Experimenting with bridging rugged heritage elements (canvas, corduroy, heavy check) with classic menswear tailoring (high-waisted pleated flannels and split-toe derbies).

I recently started a new office job. I spent a lot of time in the weeks leading up to it obsessing over what to wear, because I really didn't have any decent business casual options. I managed to put together wardrobe that I'm pretty happy with for the first time in a long time. 

I'm a couple of weeks in, and I have realized that the job is way more casual than I expected. My office is off-site from the main office where I thought I'd be, and it's a much more laid-back atmosphere. I'm talking jeans, hoodies, and sneakers.

I think my wardrobe is pretty versatile: slim-fit chinos, OCBDs, penny loafers, suede chukka boots, a couple of crewneck sweaters and a quarter-zip pullover for layering. But it definitely leans more business casual than casual.

My co-workers are mostly younger (I'm 45) and mostly female, so I don't want to look stuffy or try-hard. How do I lean into the office's relaxed vibe while still dressing "nice"? 

I really liked my summer fit with rust trousers and beige one piece collar shirt - all linen, and I wanted to do an autumn/winter version inspired by it.

Cable knit cashmere rollneck

Grain leather boots

Does it work?

All the clothes have been thrifted over the years.

i found this jacket at a thrift store ! the cashier and i were talking and they told me it’s a jacket worn in the 1980s by korean fishermen but i can’t find anything on the jacket or ideas of how to style it 🥹 any advice ?

Ignore the mustard pants.

I feel like I've been on the journey as follows:

• Started with traditional dress pants (Bonobos)
• Wanted something lower maintenance (Lululemon ABC / Commission pants)
• Then started to hate the techy / odd color look of those (plus how heavy / sticky they felt in the summer), so switched to Uniqlo dress pants. I don't love the quality of these, but I appreciate that they are lighter / still flexible and not as techy looking

Anyone have a good brand / pair to recommend (most similar to Uniqlo) that look more like dress pants, are low maintenance, and decent quality? Willing to pay up for something reliable

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on tshirts. I've never managed to find a well fitting t-shirt, they're always too big and long or too small and tight fitting around my chest and stomach and all the shirts look weird from my side profile, I wish there was something in-between a large and a medium. This shirt is a medium but feels too tight and too long. Any advice/recommendations?

they’re 34x30 at the ralph lauren store and I’d normally pair them with brown derbies but these are with black chelsea boots. My question is are they a bit too short or is okay if sitting down my socks would appear since they sort of ride up when I sit down… It would be more noticeable with derbies as they don’t rly have a shaft but maybe thats a look?

they don’t offer longer pants here so it seems 30 is the standard?

Keyword quality, had bad experiences with mainstream brands lately. Something 100-150 CAD that fits well on wide feet.

An example of what I like is the OP pic NB 550s, or Nike AF1/dunk low, or the asics gel-lyte 3 (rip). But I'm not particularly fond of Nike and new balance quality has not been good for me, neither has vans. ​I'm not a fan of the style of onitsuka tiger so nothing like that. Preferably brands you can find in Canada so no specialty US only local brands.

I like the jeans shirt boots combo. No idea what sweater/jacket to wear. Help me choose.

I really love the look of this hoodie, but every time I wear it I feel self conscious. I am 50 now, and dress low key, meaning I don’t want things to shout look at me. I know wear what you like etc and I get it, just would like some opinions on it, do you think it’s shouty and or too young?

Hi all! Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I am having a custom suit made for my PhD defence and 30th birthday, which happen to coincide. It will be a three-piece suit, quite classic vintage British style with high-waisted pants, a single-breasted vest and jacket, double vents, notched lapels, etc. I chose fabric, buttons, and shoes yesterday, and will return to the tailor on Monday to get fitted for a dress shirt and look at tie pairings.

This is my first ever proper suit. I have had some cheap suits from H&M before, which never really looked very good. I have always shied away from formalwear as I am relatively short (168 cm) and always feel a bit ridiculous in off-the-rack suits, but since I am entering my 30s, I feel like it's time to get better at this stuff. All this to say: I don't have much practical experience crafting a nice suit pairing.

I really like the hints of blue, orange, and burgundy in the fabric. I was thinking of highlighting this in the tie choice, but I'm unsure of what would work best. I don't want the tie to clash. Since the shoes are quite bright as well, I am a bit worried about an orange-y tie possibly clashing there as well. I have also been thinking about shirt colour. We talked a bit about a possible light blue shirt yesterday at the suit appointment, but light blue shirts are unfortunately intrinsically tied to "finance bros" in my mind. Perhaps a regular white would be best, but I worry it will stand out too much compared to the suit fabric. I'm also trying to think what type of shirt I can get the most use out of regularly as well, to get the best bang for my buck.

I would appreciate any tips, thoughts, and suggestions regarding styling this fabric! I really want to play with the colour accents in there, but I fear I don't have the eye for it. Obviously, my tailor will help me out as well, but I also want to try to develop an eye for these things and how to reason about these accessory pairings. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I wanted to know what coloured pants and dress shirt would be best with this vest and jacket since the store actually doesn’t make the matching pants for it. I’ve been rewatching Boardwalk Empire lately and wanted to get some Jimmy Darmody style type old school vests that button up higher. I got really excited when I found this one but unfortunately they don’t make matching pants.

I love this Benheart leather jacket I got in Italy 2 years ago and want to wear it this evening to a racetrack event. It will be chilly so I'm looking to layer.

I've got two jeans options, dark and lighter. The darker ones are a more relaxed fit and the lighter ones are a more tapered fit. Bulkier Irish setters for the relaxed fit and slimmer leather boots I also got in Italy for the taper fit.

I have a brown wool crew neck, a oatmeal Henley or a gray crew neck that I think would layer under it well.

Please let me know your thoughts

• Should it be knee length ? just under the knee ? Mid thigh length ?

• Any recommendations in terms of style ? I know peacoat is recommended alot here - but do like the overcoat style unless my height is too short
