I am a size 43 R suit.... I am looking to purchase some Banana Republic Monogram suits, but they are only sized 42 or 44. Should I go on shoulder fit or buy larger and hope the tailor can help?


p.s. pretty sure Marcello in La Dolce Vita is NOT wearing 649s

I don't really wear loafers (prefer lace-up boots, brogues, bals or bluchers) but I have a chance to cop these for cheap. What would they look good with? My dark jeans? Chinos?

Do the ebay tickers up in the corner of the page work? I can't seem to get anything from them.

I love everything about my APC new cures. where can i get a jean thats right in between the new standard and new cure? obviously doesnt have to be APC, and i know their new petit standard is supposed to be the answer but i have yet to find a fit pic of these. thanks a lot. i'm 5'11 160 and am currently rocking a 31 in new cures if that helps.

I think you should be able to wear those with anything you would wear a pair of black shoes with. Dark jeans and any shirt that's not a really bright color should work. FWIW, today, I wore a similar pair of black penny loafers with black socks, APC NSs, and a white stretch polo shirt.

What kind of shirts can go with this? I prefer something that is stylish but at the same time bold (color-wise). Your recommendations will be highly appreciated!

Well its a fairly neutral slate colorwise, but it is still has a lot going on. The picture shows it styled in a button up so why not follow that lead. If white's not what you what try grounding it in a light blue or purple for something a bit more pronounced. Solid colors are good as the cardigan has enough going on already.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for some t-shirts like the one Tom Cruise is wearing here. I'm looking for plain colored shirts that are somewhat tight but not to tight on the torso and hang loose off of the neck. My bicep's are 14 inches, probably will be around 15-15.5 inches in around 4-6 months (I workout alot).

I look quite a bit like him so I'm trying to pull off a similar look to his while trying to retain my own style. I have some shirts from American Apparel but none of them have the low collar I am looking for. I also have v-necks but I'm looking for more of the straight look but not tight on the neck. Thanks.

What are you thoughts about wearing a blood red color shirt under the cardigan? Or do you think a light blue shirt would work better?

Thanks!

Is there a huge difference in quality between the MIJ and MII Dior 19cm/21cm?

Also how does sizing run for each (in black if it matters)?

The MIJ fit slightly slimmer and the indigo coloring seems a bit nicer looking. I've heard that the fading qualities are better on the MIJ but don't know first hand. Most people size down 1 for 19cm 2 for 21cm. There's a huge dior thread with good and bad information on sufu if you want to dig through it.

What's the plaid shirt that Rivers is wearing in the beginning of this video? I could swear I've seen it before. Funny video also.
