Guys can we talk about tailoring for a second, specifically with jeans. I dont know anything about it, never even been to a tailor. Is there proper language or etiquette I need to be aware of?
Can the width of my jean legs be taken in, or is that task unwise to ask a tailor? Is there a particular finish on the cuff that looks best on jeans? Im sure there are more questions that I should ask that I dont know to ask. "Unknown Unknowns" if you will. Any help is appreciated.

Man you dont know #$#! about $@*%%@@ clothing... wait till someone like Nii to chime in.. the jacket doesnt even fight right and those damn pants DO NOT go with that #$#!.. grey pants would have been better... and wearing a sports coat and a cardigan and a tie is non formal casual? He's trying to mesh both styles together it doesn't work fall back. j crew

And how do you know I don't know anything about clothing?  Maybe you should broaden your horizon and look further from the Niketalk Dressing Better thread to form your opinions cause you young sir don't know +@+# about clothing.  A navy sportcoat and khakis is perfectly fine, if not a classic look. I can agree the tie is to much but there is nothing wrong with that.  Have you ever heard of business casual? That is basically what his fit is. 

And

at you waiting for Nii to say what he thinks like he is the be all end all of opinions.  Might as well be crying for your mom to come in here to back you up.

As far as calling me J.Crew

  Last I checked I have never made any reference to the way I dress, which is pretty far from the "J Crew style"

So, khaki and navy can't be worn together and Nii's say so is needed to address all "Dressing Better" quarrels?

Back to reality. Proper, my pants are uniqlo chinos. LyonBC1, the blazer is Jcpenney stafford brand, highly un-recommended. I had thrown it on thinking it was my B.Rep blazer.

This looks pretty bad man.. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say thats blue not black. The worse part about this outfit is your pants..they don't go with that outfit.. too casual too light

Would like to provide what is (i hope) a more informed critique:

Love almost every piece on its own, good color/pattern combo, beautiful shoes.  Cardigan looks navy to me, but it looks a little tight as opposed to slim and I'm still not crazy about it under that blazer - maybe grey or something with a little more contrast?   That tie doesn't trouble me so much with those lapels but, even though it's a perfect spread collar (fits well, not so wide it inadvertently becomes a cutaway), you might want to go point with a skinny tie.  Overall, though - it's a good look that with a few tweaks can take you almost anywhere.

Yeah I think its his thing to show case cheap yet good fits within an affordable price range.

Any opinions on these? They are leather with a rubber heel. How causally do you think these could be worn?


Always love looking in here, great info.

Now that is just nitpicking.

It's a great fit, no need to critique. You can always change something small to make an outfit "look better" but thats all subjective.


And did dis guy just sed dat navy and khaki dont go together?!

Looks Like a Timex. Jcrew Sells the replaceable straps for them during the warmer seasons.

Thanks. My dad really likes my Indy boots and he said he used to wear the similar ones when he was younger and was going to get him a pair but when tried on the pair of Aldens I have, he felt it was way too heavy for him. Hopefully the LEC version is much lighter.

Got this Zara short duffle coat in the mail today.  Very happy with it.  I've been looking for a short mid-weight coat for awhile now.  Had to size up since everything fits a size smaller and need to alter the sleeves since they're really long.
