Hi,

45 year old dude here. Few years ago, I got tired of dressing poorly for all my life and have since then been researching before making purchasing decisions. I think I found this site through a google search, but cannot be sure.

I like to dress formally most of the time and am slowly refreshing my wardrobe to reflect that.

Hi Shabbybrit, it’s never too late to learn & to expand one’s horizons. 45 years young, welcome to the forum!

Hey, I’m from Chicago. Actually found this site while researching an affiliate for a purchase. I didn’t realize what an incomplete and mediocre wardrobe I truly have till browsing on here, haha.

Hoping to become more acquainted with the various brands and understand where true value lies. Looking forward to learning from you!

Hello!

I am from Norway, and currently based in Oslo. I'm a 30 year old man, work full time, and I want to shed myself from my youthful and chaotic dressing habits - cheap looking, unintentional, hooded sweaters, plain T-shirts, hodgepodgy, unassuming ++. As far as wardrobe considerations I've used in the past, it's mostly been trying to just look like "a regular guy", and not trying to spend too much. If I found outlet Nike or Quicksilver t-shirts for like $10-$15, I was sold. I'm tired of it. I want to start turning heads and be complimented and noticed for the way I dress - The work starts here I guess, and I'm aching to get to know the lot of you. I'm just gonna assume, and mentally secure it my frame of reference, that you lot are the type of people I look at in public and go "wow, that looks cool!".

Hello NOstrum, it seems to me like you’re headed in the right direction. Out with the old and useless, in with the new. Best wishes to you in your endeavors. Welcome to the forum!

Hi all,

35yo Londoner here. Great to have joined. I have been trying to improve my style over the last few years, starting off buying loosely around the basic Mod principles and some workwear, as a way to build a flexible/coherent wardrobe. Now I'm keen to get a better grip on tailoring (I wear business attire at work), and play with my style a bit more to draw out some more individual looks.

Looking forward to digging around in the threads.

Cheers

Hi beltnbraces, welcome to the forum. London, what a great city & such fantastic haberdashers. I believe what you’re looking to create is what some of us here refer to as ‘capsules’. A clothing capsule (aka ‘rig’) is a set of clothing pieces that can all be used in combination with one another, with a minimal amount of accessories, i.e. braces, belts & footwear. Usually one goes about creating seasonal capsules. Have fun investigating. I recommend visiting several different bespoke tailor shops prior to making purchases and focusing of classic menswear as opposed to fast fashion.

Hi all,
Another Londoner (although i'm from France), 27yo. Mostly looking at more classic menswear and the vintage shops we have around here. I kinda had enough of the business casual and i'm basically trying to integrate some pieces that I really like into my wardrobe as time goes.

Currently trying to decide between the different tailor options in London, there's quite a bit to choose from so it's taking some time.

Hello Bric3d, kindly read my previous post to another Londoner. Capsules my man , think & buy in capsules. Even though you might spend more money up front than accumulating isolated pieces, you’ll save a considerable amount in the medium to long run. Welcome to the forum!
