    John Elliott - official affiliate thread

    Can you give me an idea on the sizing of the quilted bomber? I typically wear a Medium in most clothes (I'm about 6'0 170), but in the villain hoodie I'm a L. Would you recommend going with a M or a L?

    John Elliott - official affiliate thread

    Can you guys give us an idea of how tall the model is in the picture with the escobar sweats and what size pants he normally wears? And what size are the sweats that he's wearing? I want to use this to gauge what size I should get. Thanks

    POW glen check appropriate for younger men?

    I am a younger guy and I have a suit that looks almost identical to the one you posted, but is a Ralph Lauren Black Label suit. I typically wear it to events in the evening and out of all the suits that I own (granted I don't have that many) this is the suit I receive the most compliments on. I...

    Suit brands for 29'' waist and 42'' shoulders - A wardrobe expansion

    Judging by your posted measurements you aren't a 42 in suits, but rather a 36. That being said, you'd probably take a 36 in a Ralph Lauren Black Label which means the pants would be a 29. This would fit you perfectly and most likely need very little alterations. I'd recommend going to a store...

    Suit brands for 29'' waist and 42'' shoulders - A wardrobe expansion

    I wear a 42 R in suits and I have a waist that is 28.5-29 inches as well. However, unlike you, I am 6'0 175lbs. All of the suits I currently own are Ralph Lauren Black Label suits and they fit great. They have a 7 inch drop from the chest to the waist which only comes to a 35, but my tailor is...

    Looking for specific MTM or Bespoke Material and NEED HELP

    TheWraith - Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't see anything quite like what I was looking for, but I appreciate the help. Clee1982 - I was looking to spend anywhere from $2,000 - $3,800, realizing that $2000 was probably too low, but remaining optimistic. I'd prefer not to spend $3,800, but...

    Looking for specific MTM or Bespoke Material and NEED HELP

    I made a post earlier in the week about potentially buying 2-3 mtm or bespoke suits. It looks as though the best route for me would be a MTM suit and I was hoping you guys could give me a little help. I came across this picture of an Oxxford 1220 suit, Oxxford's new line set to release in spring...

    Recommendations for Bespoke Suit Material and Pattern

    I am going to buy 2-3 bespoke suits and I was wondering what recommendations you guys had for the material and patterns. I currently own a solid navy, charcoal grey, charcoal grey pinstripe and a black suit and I'm looking to add a few suits that stand out more and that are not nearly as...

    rugby solid university oxfords

    In regards to the comparison between rugby shirts and ralph lauren custom fit shirts, rugby is definitely slimmer. I see the biggest difference in the back (profile). The rugby shirts fit snug and look a lot better than the custom fit shirts which have a good deal of space in the back. I wear a...

    RLBL Fit

    I have a very athletic build (my chest measures a 44, but I have a 29.5 inch waist), I am 6'0 175lb and I buy a 42R in black label suits. In fact, I only buy black label suits because they are the only suits that seem to fit me well. I have to have the jacket altered greatly in the waist and I...
