Hi,

I'm a 5'7 125pds 36" chest and skinny and have found no really good brand name labels to fit my body structure. Banana republic is slightly large, Gap fits okay but the quality is terrible, Club Monaco Fits well but the style is lacking.

Im from Canada, Toronto and was wondering if anyone could recommend some good clothing lables that fit well for slim people, good quality material, stylish and NOT expensive, I dont want to spend $200 on a pair of jeans.. My style is fun and classy. If anyone ever heard of a guy named Neil Strauss, he wears a french cuff dress shirt under a funky t-shirt and jeans, I'm going for something similair.

I've noticed this forum has the most well dressed people. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks all

Try H&M? Quality isn't always the best but the fit and styles are all usually pretty good. For the price you can always replace them if they start to wear down.

Neil Strauss is a bad person to model yourself after. I don't know how old you are, but you could always goto the Eaton Center and check out Abercrombie if you're into that sort of thing.

Thirding H&M as well.

Just because you've read The Game doesn't mean that you can emulate Strauss. He can do what he does because he has the game (no pun intended) to back it up. Part of the reason is to create attention/attraction. If you do it just for that purpose, you'll end up looking like a wannabe.

Try dressing conventionally, but nicer, first. Just stick around and you'll pick up clues from the well-dressed bunch here to do just that.

That sucks.
I'm fortunate enough to pull of a 5x5 + a double double in the same meal - only 2x though.

Aye, I'm in love with the leather blazer I picked up from there, and I'm around about a 34. If you're in the UK, I believe Topman are stocking some decent leathers, and they've started running smaller than other UK high street stores (they've just introduced XXS and 26 waists on their newest items)... also their new Topman Design line has a rather nice but pricy leather. Avoid the faux leather, my friend destroyed one in 3 months. They nicely gave him a full refund without a reciept to be fair.
