    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    @gdl203 Hey, so I think it was last season you stocked an off white and rust coloured Inis Meain knit linen polo. I was wondering if there is a difference between yours and the one on their site? I believe yours was called a saddle shoulder polo and theirs a deep placket polo. Is there any...

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    Fully agreed. Unfortunately excessive thinking coupled with inaction are undesirable personality trait of mine, but I digress. I'm not asking people to figure this out for me, and your point about lifestyle is very true, but I was just looking for some pointers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I...

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    I would say I have always been known as someone who dresses well and slightly above the formality level of my peers, which I enjoy doing. I still very much fit in with my peers (I still wear t-shirts, jeans, sneakers etc), but I've noticed people have commented on the way I dress in a positive...

    Hey, cheers for the recommendations! I am based in Nottingham!

    Where do you go for classic menswear and tailoring in the UK?

    I'm in the early stages of my foray into menswear, and as someone who is UK based, I was wondering if anyone from this strange little island can recommend places they look for classic menswear and tailoring? EU recommendations are also welcome.

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    Thank you, really love this response and thanks for providing a contrarian view. Regarding your points about capsule wardrobes, I definitely agree it can be a misguided concept. I'd say what I'm aiming for is a smallish collection of items that are versatile in relation to each, purely from a...

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    Thank you for this! As regards to high waisted pants, they are something I really enjoy (but don't have many right now) and a few others have suggested them to me. The one detail I am uncertain about however is whether to go with belt loops or side adjusters on more formal pairs. I believe (and...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thank you so much. This is truly more than I could have asked for, even from some who considers themselves not an expert. I think you definitely need to give yourself some credit!

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thanks, really appreciate such a detailed response! Just out of interest, are there any jackets or blazers you would recommend for starting out? I think I'm most lost when it comes to these as I've never worn blazers outside of wearing a full suit for formal occasions. I see KOz and...

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    I guess I'm still figuring that one out in many ways, but I would say my initial influences stem from the likes of Derek Guy, permanentstyle, menswear musings, the guys at the anthology, Yukio Akamine, Ethan Wong and people on Instagram like Gerry Nelson, Urban Sartorialist and Bienluienapris...

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    I'm actually only 5'5 haha, so I've found quite the opposite in that I can't really wear a lot of things! I guess the angle is deceiving.

    What would you suggest for someone of my body type and age looking to build a capsule wardrobe inspired by classic menswear?

    Picture of myself for reference, 5'5 around 110 lbs: I'm 24 and am looking to slowly rebuild my wardrobe after becoming increasingly dissatisfied with how I dress. My main inspirations so far have come from the likes of Derek Guy/dieworkwear and permanent style, particularly the capsule...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thank you so much for the depth of explanation, it is incredibly helpful. Just a few queries regarding jackets, is there a particular level of formality and structure/silhouette (still very much learning about silhouette) I should be aiming for to pair with your trouser recommendations, i.e...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thank you, really appreciate this and I love the look of the less tailored jackets you linked. Just one thing regarding this, would it still be considered 'right' to pair high waisted side-adjuster trousers with less tailored jackets seeing as beltless dress trousers are (as far as I understand...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thank you, really appreciate the detailed response :) Currently I don't really the type of guy to wear a jacket round the office, mainly due to the temperature, but I am very much open to trying it more. I usually only wear jackets to and from work. At the moment, it's a button up shirt or polo...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    Thank you for this! Really appreciate the detailed insight and it's given me a lot to think about. I have a few follow ups, which I hope you don't mind. I do really like the like of pleated trousers, but as I think you alluded to and as the user below pointed out, flat fronts probably suit my...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    The dreaded tan shoes I've been hearing so much about :eek: On a serious note, appreciate the input. I'm just kinda concerned as buying some quality tailored pants will be a pretty big investment, so I want to make sure the details are right in terms of my lifestyle and dressing appropriately...

    Side adjusters, belt loops, pleats or flat front trousers for office wear?

    I see, as I'm rather new to classic menswear I don't really have many examples as my wardrobe is not entirely geared that way was as yet. But I would say the examples attached are typical currently though. With and without belt for reference. (Also excuse no shoes and poorly fitting clothes...
