if you buy an xxl tee and take in the shoulders and waist and round the bottom you get a rick flap lookalike and then just take bunch of ipecac and you can fit like this

i been thinking about doing alterations myself. darts or taking in for dress shirts ? if i do darts i think they'll run the length of the shirt down to the tail, which is fine if tucked (as most dress shirts should be) but taking in will create a slanted look at the bottom, so they wil still have to be tucked ?

Club Monaco is pretty decent if you get the stuff heavily discounted. Thom Browne was a tailor at CM for a long time(until 2001), and the label was started by Ralph Lauren I'm pretty sure. Thats why 99% of the stuff they make is straight designer knockoff.

Haha I dress like that like pretty frequently. Unless it was Cambridge, Baltimore it probably wasn't me though.

Pretty sure Ralph Lauren(the company) acquired them. I don't believe Ralph Lauren(the person) started it.

Wikipedia solves everything.

While on the RL topic, RRL corduroys are awesome. Literally the most comfortable pair of pants I own.

I wear the same jeans and belt and usually the same shoes everyday. Nudie thin finns, paul smith dip dyed white low tops and a margiela brown suede belt. I've been wearing them for about a year so they're all getting pretty worn out and I want to replace them. Im thinking N&F skinny guys, white gum sole common projects, but I haven't decided on the belt, I don't want some huge KMW work belt, I want something a bit interesting. Would like some recommendations on some jeans, sneakers and a belt I can wear pretty much everyday.

Over-sized orange "LA prison" t-shirt, baggy jorts, crocs, white sweat socks - things I saw today on one person.
