Good Natured Advice Thread (improving a business wardrobe)

[sprout2]

This question pops up here regularly. Typically I do … others do, others don't. I really like BB's but they are a bit big for me. I've tried Uniqlo, but the quality is just okay. Nice high armholes though. IIRC, Hanes got the most recs here for those who wear them.

T-shirts: American weirdness
Singlets: European preeminence

Sunspel makes small ones. Zimmerli's have a very strange cut, a high neck and spaghetti straps.
I would like to try Roberto Ricetti undershirts, which are sized by suit sizes, but the website is a proper mess.

Do you guys wear undershirts?

Always. Everyday. I got some...pointy(?) nipples. I wear a Hanes undershirt btw.
Thoughts on this suit, Noodlists?

Looks good! Wearing fresco today as well.

Looks good!

Good? That's not good enough. But thanks.

I guess I will go SSS from here on out until BnT or give Sammy Lee (tailor by my office) a try.

Do you guys wear undershirts?

Under a sweater worn casually (i.e. sans dress shirt), yes. Under a regular dress shirt, no. I don't sweat too much and prefer fewer layers / find not having the undershirt more comfortable.

I should add that I sweat a lot, so that is a data point.

Speaking of Fresco, I have a NSM fresco suit in Minnis 11oz, sz 34/36 I would like to move if anyone is interested.

Noodles - Nice suit and unimpeachable color combinations. Bad camera angle.

Pear inducing for sure.

That camera angle is kinda weird.

I think @StanleyVanBuren is a 34/36. But he probably wouldn't benefit from the NSM cut.

Is that the new Formosa Noods?

why is a midget taking your pictures?

I think noodles needs some shoulder extension, as this is a recurring problem.

Sigh...the camera was aimed at my crotch. Retake or just go home and ask Mrs. Noodles to take it.
Yes, this is the new Formosa. I am glad that there is no puddle in my trousers.

So all my suits need shoulders extended?!

There's already some extension there and the sleeve falls straight down without touching your upper arm - so I would not recommend extending much more than that.

You need a better photo angle more than you need further extension IMO. Take photos closer to chest/head level and step back more (you can crop later - but taking pics too close distort everything)
