As you mentioned in the first post, there is a balance you need to find. I would say the APC may be salvageable if you have the body AND the sleeves taken in.

I always have the body and sleeves taken in on fuller-cut shirts. Those alterations generally give the most improvements on fit -- lengths and darts take it farther.

Try asking your tailor's opinion before agreeing to any other alterations. I've worked with a few who will do whatever the customer asks, no questions asked. Maybe yours is of this type.

That's pretty much it.

lol

This post makes it sound like you don't really care to develop your own style -- just dress by numbers.

Anyone can identify this jacket or at least name me a style? Goslings of course.

Ditto. It looks great! ^^

 

So I have been posting over in Mens Classic and haven't really been getting much feedback. So here is my question:

 

Do you guys think it is possible to wear both SW&D type outfits and Mens Classic outfits? Because I am a huge fan of both styles. Some days I like to dress up with a dress shirt, tie, sweater and blazer. Other days I like to wear a sweat shirt, slim jeans and some sneakers.

 

Someone over there said it can't work because people will look at them both as costumes. I dislike this answer, because I truly love both types of styles. But he does have a slight point.

 

What do you think?

 

I'm a noob but I think the answer to your question is yes.

 

With that said, keep in mind that SW&D is so much broader than MC. SW&D covers everything from the "style" that you mentioned to minimalism, anti-fashion, avant-garde, etc. Sure, there are people who wear business casual Mon through Friday for work then rock yohji yamamoto during non-work hours. 

 

So when you say you want to mix "SW&D type outfits" with MC, sure it can be done and is done by a lot of people on SF, but it depends on what you mean by "SW&D type outfits" because there really really isn't one imo.

 

 

Bring on the haterz.

I enjoy versatility in my outfits and do this often, no sweat.... as do others (i.e. read 1st sig quote)
But its true that there are extremes at both ends and pulling that off would be a bit difficult and I figure really confusing to the peeps you see on a regular basis, but if you keep them close to middle ground on both ends it works well and much easier to pull off.

Were should the ribbed cuffs of a bomber jacket stop? Right on the joint of the wrist? Or a bit lower? 

Do you want to be the guy whose jacket sleeves ride halfway up his forearm when he doesn't keep his arms straight down?

No.

I see a lot of bombers stopping at the wrist in WAYWT pics though.

You should size to stop at the wrist with a bit of stacking. It follows that if you were to remove said stacking, it would go beyond the wrist joint.

Hey guys I need help. Any ideas on how I can wear this casually? (Maybe with jeans or chinos?) Thanks!

Look through the SW&D WAYWT and the MC Casual thread, and you're bound to see some examples on how to wear them. 

I have. I've browsed like 100 pages and most that I've seen are dressed up.
