Do you guys have any recommendations for slim/European cut suits under $600? I've done some research on styleforum and a few other sites but these guys are dropping serious cash on suits. I'm an entry level guy

.

Looking for something for work, preferably wool no polyester. If all else fails, I'll just go to Mysuit off 34th or Alton Lane and get a MTM, although the lapels n such will probably be bigger than my liking.
So far, I got J.Crew

Thanks!

I just purchased a suit from Macy's (Slim cut) from a company called Bar III ... The suit was Originally $495.00 and ended up being 30$ off.
Came to $350 with tax ... I went to J Crew on 5th Ave and they had the Ludlow suit for $700 w/ tax no sale. 

 ... It was a nice cut but I wasn't about to drop $7-800 off top for a J Crew suit ...

Now I just need a TAILOR!!!  Anybody have a card or name for someone in NYC?
  

Genius Tailor. Dope guy.
Where do I find this guy you call Genius?  Thank you in advance.

I wear a wifebeater / tanktop under my sports shirts all the time.  Sometimes it's too hot to wear a v-neck under it.

Try Jockey, most comfortable undershirts IMO.  If you are too hot, chances are the undershirt you are wearing is too thick.  Time to dump Pro Clubs.

LOL pro clubs/pro5's/shaka's.
those were the days..
if neck area was too loose time to throw it away and move on to a new one..

lstylez, mini shopping summit?

 

[its that dude]

just go to the tailor and get it tapered. costs like 10-15 bucks. buy a cheap pair of shorts and do that.

 

[tony23retro]

Shorts are a no-go for me.

6'5 with chicken legs... nah man.

 

[got shoes]

is there a huge difference between a Chambray and a Utility shirt?

chambray is the fabric of the shirt (denim like)

utility is the style of the shirt (military, boy scout like)

 

[its that dude]

new ties...

PRL from goodwill ($2), purple wool knit tie from goodwill ($2), last 3 tommy hilfiger from macys this weekend about $10 each.

 

[celticsfan9783]

Could anyone recommend some denim in between the Levi's 511 and 514 cut. Slim fit like the 514 with around a 15.5-16" leg opening (not quite as tapered as the 511). The J. Crew Urban Slim fit is perfect, but I'm looking for jeans and in the Levi's price range give or take a few bucks. Any help is appreciated.

personally i like the 511's
514's fit odd to me. I copped a pair of khaki 511's at urban outfitters a while back. Ended up having them altered for the length (since im short)

but i love them now..

 

[storm2006]

So to everyone who wears undershirts with their dress shirts, I have a question...any suggestions on v-necks with a deeper V if I'm wearing the shirt casually and will have up to 2 buttons unbuttoned? Or at that point is my best bet going shirtless underneath? Thanks

Hey just a quick question fellas..

How to Desert Boots fit compared to chucks i.e. size 9 chucks = size 8 in DBs? (Full size down)

I actually bought 2 packs of the Jockey stay cool v-necks.  Best v-necks i've ever had.  Fit great and good quality.  Not sure if it makes me feel 3 degrees cooler though.  If it hits anywhere near 90 degrees, I still rock a wifebeater under my shirts.  Just more comfortable to me and less bulky.

How did you get the 30 cash off the Baar III suit. I was thinking about copping it

Thx.

I actually have two pairs of these. The $50 ones right? I really like them. They are definitely a more modern slim fit. I get a lot of compliments on them. I'll be getting some more soon. 

Yeah, the $50 ones.

Thanks for the input bro...will look into purchasing a couple this week.

For reference...I rock 7.5 in all Nikes and Jordans and I feel like I could have gone with a 6.5 in Clarks DB's (sz 7 was comfortable and probably would have been more ideal with thicker socks)

From what I understand Chucks fit the same as Clarks DB's (no cushioning or padding in them whatsoever)

Hope that helps.
