Really nice quality cotton / canvas jacket, can wear it comfortably when I'm carrying in 75 to 80° weather with jeans and a T-shirt.

>>30212158

>>30213595
It's probably way too big for me now because I've lost weight sense I bought it (it does come with the neck-wrap-thing). It felt (and looked) fantastic when I got it and goes extremely well with jeans and plain t-shirts. Keeps the autismo-milsurp power level low-key as well so that's a plus too. It also comes with matching pants too ( https://grey-shop.ru/Special-suits/Gorka-Suits/Gorka-3-Ana )
(I'm not sure if I still have it because like I said, I've lost weight and probably donated it to some place like goodwill but if I can find it I will post pics) And yes I do absolutely recommend it if you live in cold-ish areas.
>>30213742
Did it have any sort of water resistance at all?
Also, was the hood just a normal sized hood or was it on the large side? Also, was the hood made of the same material as the rest of the jacket or was it crappy/flimsy?
The past 2 winters I've wanted to buy a milsurp jacket with a hood, but most are a bullshit plasticky afterthought (I'm looking at you, M65/Czech M85). This jacket looks like a decent fabric, almost like a Carhartt but probably not as thick

It did have some water resistance but not as much as something like a true Gorka 4 Bars or something along those lines. So it will keep you relatively dry when it rains or when you get water on you.
The hood size was normal to me and it was the same material is the jacket (pretty good quality, some-what plastic-y but not really *that* noticeable).
Sorry for the crappy picture but it's all I could find in the mean-time while I look for the one I had. Over-all it's a pretty decent jacket-pants combo for only ~$110 (shipping included). Here's what it will look like (and also be warned that it's more of an olive-green color than the nearly coyote brown color it looks like from the store page).

That tells me enough, thanks. As long as it's the same material as the rest of the jacket, and not a literal afterthought.
Looks like it might fit my bill. Shame about the color, I like the color presented on the site

There's a pretty big difference between two strips of leather that hold your pants up (or in this case, probably not even hold the pants up as much as look a little nicer) and two pieces of machinery with many moving parts made of varying qualities of metal and varying quality control

If you want them, you can definitely afford them. They're called Alico Tahoes I just checked and STP is selling these for $110 on a closeout. I've had these for 6 years and they're still running strong. I got myself a second pair.
There's also an even better model, the Summit, with a thicker outsole and upper. They're best for more intensive hiking. I'm very much autismo and got myself a second pair of these as well.
Once you get a pair of these you'll never want to go back to glued soled boots

Parents offered to get me a suit, seeing as I've just used blazers/sport coats, but little old to be buying my clothes. Pic and link related.

>>30216118
>am wondering though what PD you think requires a suit for the interview process.
I'm sure they don't "require" it but I think when meeting some of the people on the review board who are choosing finally who goes to the academy, why show up dressed like a slob. Plus I'd wear a suit for the psych interview(s). Pic semi related the process for one dept I applying to.
>>30209626
I understand what their function is, but do these have a proper name?
>>30216151
Oh I totally agree as far as dressing for the job you want meme. Don't spend more than a grand on a suit though especially if you don't have plans to go into law or politics. A good suit says you're serious about the opportunity but doesn't project too much autism.
Good luck.
Most PD's in my area have "now hiring" billboards, but they're very selective because a white guy won't fit diversity standards, or there are so many veterans applying they're hoping somebody with a criminal justice degree will take the bait so they can seem professional.

m8 a used car salesman goes to Men's Warehouse. Go to your local outlet for a name brand, they will fit you and sell you a good suit, or sell you the closest thing and recommend a tailor. Like I said, the Brooks Brothers outlets are a great source or your local "men's wear" shop, and use your discretion for what looks like a Ted Cruz "this Buick is great!" or a plain and simple suit. The tie and shirt is half the battle anyways, that's where you should spend your money. Pic related is the tie I wore when I was hired by a Texas firm

Really? I had a friend that took it just out of curiosity, not sure how well he did though.

I may take it just in the event I get hired somewhere, could use the tuition reimbursement for some classes to take at night or online when not on duty.

Suit is standard for police/fire interviews. Not wearing a suit is basically suicide if you've made it that far.
You always wear the "highest" level of dress to any interview for the position you want. Fire/Police have Class As which are considered formal tailored suits. Its not like you wear it every day, but it is part of the job.
I have never heard of a department or agency that has held interviews where the panel or board has not been in business attire to include suits themselves and or a class A type dress without cap and jacket.
>>30216628
Thanks for confirming I wasn't being a paranoid cunt about wearing a suit
>>30209626

>>30216654
>Ever consider that I'm not wearing a suit because I can't afford one?
I think the idea being if you're not resourceful enough to get a blazer and dress shirt from even Goodwill then how can you be resourceful enough in a domestic dispute call or someones house on fire.
>>30216634
Different anon. Definitely invest in a decent suit. As a guy who hires and fires for a government department I can assure your that clothes do maketh the man.
>>30216668
Is this too much? Was going to use it for other than PD interviews
http://www.barneys.com/ralph-lauren-purple-label-anthony-two-button-suit-504406993.html
>>30216628
I did that once. Didn't realize it was an interview and came in business casual and not a suit. Thought it was just a meeting with the person who would do my background check. Pretty much an auto drop at that point regardless of my references.
Ironically I had worn a suit to the oral interview before that because it was stated to be an interview.
>>30216634
Yea, you don't want to be that guy who under dresses for a public safety interview. I know of guys who have done that, and its pretty much career suicide.
Just remember, a good suit shows you are serious, professional and can dress yourself to look appropriate.
The job you are applying for requires all of those traits.
As far as what type of suit you go for, make sure its classic. Slim fit is fine if it works for you and your body shape, but avoid anything flashy and over the top. You are interviewing for a public government job. Be G-man boring, but smart.
I wore a dark navy ralph lauren wool suit I bought for $400 and had some alterations made to it. It was a pretty simple suit, but did the job.
The biggest thing as the other anon mentioned is shirt and tie. You don't want to take your jacket off during the interview, but depending on how long the process is and what kind of assessment center they have (which may be on the same day as a panel or officers interview) you may be in a position where it is appropriate to take the jacket off. If you do you are going to want a nice fitting shirt. Most store bought shirts don't fit unless you are a fucking fat ass. You are going to have to get it altered and perhaps darted.
>>30216668
>>30216678
Or is black the standard?
>>30216686
Black is for weddings and funerals. It is not for business. Navy, blue, grey and even tan/brown in some circumstances can be acceptable.
>>30216683
>As far as what type of suit you go for, make sure its classic.
> but avoid anything flashy and over the top
>Be G-man boring, but smart.
Shit that seems like then I should buy two suits. One for graduation and to have a more low key suit for interviewing.
>>30216701
Got it. Was looking at this, it's a nice blue but not too flashy.
>>30210120
240 dollar shirt
>>30216705
That is a good suit.
When I mean nothing flashy, I have seen the three pieces start to come back. That might be a bit much for an interview.
That suit is perfect.
I don't know who you are, where you are and what is "stylish". I just mean wear something presentable and simple but good. That RL suit is modern and simple, looks clean cut. It would work.
Don't show up in a three piece tux, don't show up in a gold pin-stripped zoot suit.
I just wanted to make this clear.

I'm down in the south, but from NYC orig. But I got what you mean, nothing way crazy over the top like pic related or a pink NFL draft day suit.
>>30216705
I would try that on and not buy it online. Also know that the mandarin, flat, whatever they are calling that type of collar now, doesn't work for everyone and if you have a chubby face as some folks do, it really makes it look fat.
Suits are personal as fuck, make sure you go try it out and get fitted and bring someone along who knows what looks good as I have had some tailors and salesmen try to sell me jokes.
>>30216752
Referring to the shirt, not the jacket. That shirt collar is very popular right now but looks like shit on most guys that wear it.
>>30216744
Yea, you got the point.
Also as you can probably tell, I am not expert. I just am a dude that has worn a few suits for interviews, weddings and work functions where I am not in a Class B or A like at some conventions/conferences and training programs.
There are probably more versed folks that can give better advise, but for what its worth I am a government worker that went through what it is you are trying to go through.
>>30216678
No problems with this. Main thing is that you look and sound the part. Looking clean cut and well groomed takes care of the conservative elements you may encounter when facing a panel.
A dark color is best. Recommend a solid color tie or a tie that you'd see some business dude wear. And to sound like your dad, make sure you have well presented shoes.
I have sat on a panel and had conservative members tut-tut and express disapproval when people come in with obviously dyed hair, poor grooming (stubble beard) and visible earrings despite being well informed, well educated and well spoken.
>>30216775
Can you overdress for an interview? I mean, a tuxedo is obviously out of the question, but like showing up in a suit to a blue collar sort of job
>>30214379

you have to remember that most older folks don't know the first thing about fashion so as long as you are wearing a jacket and button up shirt you'll pass muster
>>30216787
Not that poster, but I think if it is a traditional and basic suit with no frills the answer is no. A suit works for almost anything.
>>30216793
Yea, but make sure it fits. Ill fitting suits are so obvious if you've ever worn a suit yourself. It just looks like shit and shows you didn't prepare. A suit should be something you have prepared and not something you are "borrowing" from your neighbor.
>>30216793
They do look for watches though. If you normally wear something like a gshock swap for a dress watch.
>>30216752
>Also know that the mandarin, flat, whatever they are calling that type of collar now, doesn't work for everyone and if you have a chubby face as some folks do, it really makes it look fat.
Thanks for the tip, anon.
>>30216773
Nah no worries appreciate the input, espc someone who's been through the process. I haven't really had to wear one yet minus a few times and when I was younger so kinda new to it.
>>30216775
>And to sound like your dad, make sure you have well presented shoes.
For sure, make sure the whole look is done properly, don't want to have shitty looking or wrong colored shoes.
>I have sat on a panel and had conservative members tut-tut and express disapproval when people come in with obviously dyed hair, poor grooming (stubble beard) and visible earrings despite being well informed, well educated and well spoken.
I don't have any of that or any tattoos but I am a minority. Will that fuck me over a little? If everyone on the panel is white or black(the cities I applying to are very urban, 'chocolate cities')

not sure if that counts against me

You really are a stupid cunt aren't you?
>>30216819
I don't think it would. Most people these days do not wear watches, not with phones and other devices.
For a public safety job if you do wear a watch its going to be a cheapo throw away watch or something rugged that you wouldn't wear with a suit to an interview anyways.
I buy shitty casios and timex watches and leave a few in my locker at work. Majority of the guys I work with don't even wear watches, a few have some more pricey but durable watches like Suunto's and Luminox.
>>30216819
It is not as expected these days, but I feel watches are even more important in formal and business environments so you arent the guy clawing out a phone to check the time which can be misconstrued.
>>30216837
I mostly wear a G-Shock but I have a Seiko Diver that I'd wear if I was interviewing. pic related
>>30216848
That is good. I wouldn't feel obligated to wear it, but if I wanted to wear a watch that would be a nice one. I probably wouldn't wear a rolex to a public safety interview, for the same reasons I wouldn't wear a three piece or something totally out there and "new age fashion".
You want to look smart and professional but remember this is a government job.
>>30216845
I feel as decades go on no one is going to give a shit if you glance at your phone. Right now the old guys are still dying off. I'm part of the generation where we didn't have cell phones til maybe high school at earliest and I don't care
>>30216787
Not really. Basic rule of thumb I use if they turn up looking worse than most employees and look as well dressed as what the management usually wear, it is not a problem.
Main thing is to remember that if you pull a government job, you will be representing the county, city, state and all that corporate bullshit. You need to present a conservative and businesslike appearance. Save the flip-flops and Hawaiian shirt for casual friday.
I actually had a dude turn up for an interview who was overdressed. I was looking for a plumber with gas and boiler experience. I had a Sikh immigrant (complete with turban) turn up in a 3 piece Wall Street suit, Haliburton briefcase and Bruno Mali shoes. He was some sort of advanced engineering Phd who was desperate for a job. I had to explain to him that the job actually entailed getting covered in all sorts of vile shit and working in the field with some fairly rough and ready blue collar types. I gave the job to the young army vet who showed me pics of him patching a ruptured high pressure sewerage pipe in Iraq. He was literally swimming in a river of flowing shit up to his armpits. All I said was "You've obviously seen some serious shit. You got the job."
>>30216856
I just always have a watch. I have this weird thing about being somewhere late and having a wrist watch helps me.
>>30216051
Sounds pretty /k/ to me.
>>30216868
That diver is good for most anything, on the off chance you need something dressier on the cheap, some nice Orients can be had for $100. Im talking black tie formal and they still fit in with the big dollar crowd.
>>30216883
I have my fathers Longines for that if i'm ever in a dressier situation, but Orients are nice for the money

Do you think anyone not wearing a suit dresses in torn garbage bags or something? You can be presentable without wearing a three piece suit. You're one of those massive fucking tools that wears a suit everywhere, aren't you? The kind that watches How I Met Your Mother, and starts jacking off whenever Barney shows up.

Norwegian gore-tex jacket/2002 jacket, about 300 dollars.
http://www.cato-ringstad.no/contents/no/p24.html
Speaking from personal experience, it's a shit jacket, unless you get the one the King wears, which is made by HellyHansen I believe. A lot of NCO's and Grenadiers switch out the jacket for Arcteryx Leaf.
>>30217363
Real wool ones are gonna be pricey iirc the last one I bought I paid 50$ for in az.
>>30217632
You can check out www.coldskills.com, they sell Taiga uniforms in a similar style; which are goat. Not milsurp, so they are expensive but worth it. Lots of swedish ranger officers and SF uses them, and they have them in several different camo patterns like multicam (and i think the norweigan one as well). Their UAC-shirts are great as well.
Website is under maintenance atm though.
>>30217772
yeah I've seen Taiga unifroms in N-kamo, planning on buying a set in the future, saw a lot of operators using them when I was a conscript.

It is only a little autistic. But comfy as fuck in spring and fall. Throw the liner in for winter. I just need a good summer jacket, because I unfortunately have to wear jeans and boots year round
>>30217847
I already have a set of crye g3 pants and garm combat shirt in nor kamo. But it'd be nice with a uniform that can be used while in base
>>30216678
Its alright, but for that money you can get a better suit. You should look for an MTM suit at a decent place, as you will get a much better structure and fabric, and above all, a much better fit.
As a guy who sells suits for a living, i can assure you. Expensive OTR suits are never worth it.
>>30216654
Haha if you think western society is worse, then i got news for you son. Most places in the east (talking asia and upper tier workplaces) would spit on you if you didnt look the part at an interview.
>>30212158
Hey, that's a neat outfit.
What else do you wear?
>>30209648
These things fade really bad after one washing.
>>30218131
you're not supposed to wash them
>>30218150
>Da fuck
>>30218255
I'm not sure I understand. Gorkas were never meant to be washed, so fading is to be expected if you actually do wash them.
>>30211084

I was told by someone on /K/ that they are made of tent fabric and to wash them in cold water. I would just get then dry cleaned if I knew of this before, bought a black and Olive set, both faded badly after first wash.
I'm not trashing Gorka's just wish I knew about this before spending $300

Brand was popular with airsofters before milsim got big iirc. I've got a shoulder holster by them that came with a gas USP I got off eBay back in the day. Decent quality for a "universal" holster. As I recall the stitching was pretty good and the nylon wasn't the cheapest I'd seen but still not great.

/r/ing 1488 stuff
Kinda off topic
But how do I carry when wearing basketball shorts?
I want to carry while at work and I wear shorts because of the sweltering heat.
Do they make some sort of belt you wear under your clothes that you can use to carry that isn't uncomfortable as shit but can keep a carry pistol secure?
>>30219906
Why tarnish such a statement of truth with such an ugly whore anon.
>>30220005

It's hot as fuck in NC so my tactical gear of not having a heat stroke is a cotton t-shirt and basketball shorts.
>>30218016
Thanks for the info, I'm going to look into getting a bespoke also, for the money of a high end OTR it's almost comparable to get a custom made one done i'm thinking.
