I'm looking for a dark indigo selvage raw jean in a slim-straight cut, preferably under 200 bucks, any suggestions?
Yeah i've been searching around that thread a little as well. The whole vanity sizing thing with a.p.c makes me nervous, I feel like I'd wanna try em on first or something, so i may just end up staying away from those, I'll keep looking. Thanks bro
It would be cheaper to get a slim suit at H&M and work with it than it will be to fix everything here that needs to be fixed.
Items (if you think any of these is under or over represented, please chime in) - 5 Casual Shirts 2-3 Cardigans 2-3 Sweaters 5 Basic T's 1 Premium Jean (something like APC) 2-3 Cheap Jeans (Levis and the like for black/overdyed or white jeans) 3? Pants 1-2 Shoes (leather shoes, could be worn with jeans or chinos/pants) Accessories - ties mostly, socks, jewelry
first of all you don't just go out and buy a whole wardrobe, you build a wardrobe for yourself over time.
ok so just to get this straight you want to buy 25 pieces of clothing with $1k? that's $40 bucks a pop. what you're asking for is really not possible if you want 'life long pieces'. cheap basics, yeah you can work with that.

I also agree with the cheap basic > lifelong comment as well with the exception of maybe shelling out some extra dough for something like Alden or AE shoes that could last me quite a while. Even those would be something I would try to snag off of B&S.
I guess my question was really overarching though. The main question I'm looking for is what are some essential basics every guy should have that aren't a total given. And most importantly what BRANDS should I be looking at that can work with my goofy proportions?
My main problems are with shirts. For example, based off of Farinelli's site I am able to see both the measurements on BoO shirts and how they fit a model with X height and weight. Based off that I am roughly the equivalent of a BoO XS. Where the hell can I find shirts cut that small but also within my budget? This is made even more complicated by me having a 15.5" neck and there being no efficient way of a tailor enlarging the neck of a shirt anything more than about .5".
So all in all this post was a bit of rambling but I suppose the real question I was trying to ask is where should I be looking to find some versatile basics in a price range I can afford that will actually fit me properly?
