I often question the styling on retail sites. Yoox is exceptionally bad, but Gilt and Mr. Porter also have a knack for making stuff look awful at times.

"Monday's violence started in Hackney, north London, at about 16:20 BST after a man was stopped and searched by police, who found nothing.
Looters in a convenience store in Hackney Shops have been looted across the capital

Groups of people began attacking officers, wrecking cars with wooden poles and metal bars, and looting shops. Violence then flared separately in other parts of the capital."

I hope they styled that terrible Jkissi outfit and that wasn't his own doing.

Mr. Porter is significantly better than the new Park&Bond that Gilt put out though, imo.

I'm surprised by how much less I like Gant mainline shirts than Gant Rugger shirts.

Sadly I have never found a retail site with the styling ability to make garbage bags full of wet feces look appealing. Where will such a site come to us? Topman is pretty good consistently though.

I was reading about the riots all yesterday.

yeah I probably should. but I guess their oxford selection sucks right now, idk. they really need a webstore though.


have you tried moderntailor? the trial shirt fabric sucks (maybe except for the blue one depending on your standards) but the other ones are good, especially when different ones go on sale all the time

not nearly as good this line from never will it stop by clipse, though

With her on her back, and her on her knees,
My ghetto ass trying to pronounce they dungarees.
I say Raf, they say Raf Simons,
They think it's real cute while they giving me dome.


this one was clever too:
i kept em noddin, fiendin
coughin, snortin
i mason-jarred, martin mar-gelled them o's together
since hov was name dropping charles jourdan

duuuude...literally just came into this thread to ask what people thought of modern tailor. if the baron wells shirt I just ordered fits well I may take the measurements from that and try out the $19.99 trial shirt from modern tailor.

ahhhhh this is getting asked all over the place; I just commented in WAYWT

MT is the best online MTM I've found. I'd rather use someone here in the US but have never found any with enough customization or collar options to suit my needs. If someone knows better, let me know. Yes I looked at "Proper Cloth" and they don't have the collar options I want.
