Note: I posted this in the other thread also ("ask a quick question" thread).

Good afternoon! First of all, I have read through the t-shirt thread in its entirety but this specific questions doesn't seem to be discussed I got an Alternative Apparel shirt and I love the cut. Unfortunately I can see through it and my nipples are very obvious. Is there any shirt that is a very similar cut, but is a thicker fabric? I've tried j-crew, espirit, gap, and a lot other brands and all of their white shirts are translucent. tldr I just want a well fitting non-elastic white shirt with decent drape that is not translucent. Advice?

Having locked down a charcoal and navy suit, I am looking to buy a third. I was wondering if a light-med grey herringbone would be appropriate for the summer and not too flashy? (see the first here:

) I know I do not want pinstripes, and I know that I want something lighter in shade/tone for the warmer months. Would this be SF approved for a third suit?

Do these fit okay? Am I doing it completely wrong? They're just some twill pants from AA, was considering buying Urban Slim Fit pants from Jcrew but pants are always tough to size for me and I was nervous about ordering online. Anyone own both and can comment comparatively? The taper is too narrow to wear them long with Clark DB's so I'm pretty much forced to cuff them up.

Looking for something to spice up my summer look. Typically wear oxfords, polos, tees and henleys with denim or chinos. Simple things to stay cool in this TX heat. Anyway looking for nice Waistcoats and light button-down sweater vests to add some flavor to the oxfords. Any recommendations?

Also, If you know of any nice and/or unique ties..

Not up to Tricker's standards, but not bad for the price:

Let's do this again. Last time I asked for a jean rec, I wanted whatever inconvenienced the most people to make, and I ended up getting the KMW 1980 hand dye. Now I'm bored of them, and I'm in the mood for the best normal jean. I just mean something totally normal and unspecial, but also super high quality.

Some things that might help - I have $50 context cash, and I want the cut to be close to the 1980. My waist is 34. It should be raw and blue, preferably Japanese. The only reason I do not just get another 1980 is cuz I want to try something different.

But no bells or whistles.

Really like Gitman. Have about 8 of their shirts, in a variety of fabrics.

However, I do tailor the ones that I intend to wear untucked (about 75% of them) and also add darts...

...so I started thinking...if I'm tailoring them so much...what's the point...might as well be buying BoO.

Can someone recommend another brand? Quality & Price is priority, since nothing fits me out of the box...so I'll be tailoring it.
