Had a suit-thread last week and the week before that, that were really good. Let us try to have another one!
Post inspo, what you like, what you want to buy, what you've bought and anything related to the thread. Men and women welcome!
Daily reminder that pic related is how a suit should fit.

I prefer something like this.

what are these called /10
>>11195837
This.
Eventough it is a little tight around the waist
>>11195992
coats?
>>11196035
That jacket looks like it's 2-3 sizes too small.
Like he's wearing a women's suit.
sup memesters r8 my suit
>>11196092
Too tight, too short (sleeves and length), pants sit too low and black is a boring colour that only works when you have a funeral to attend.
>>11196107
it's navy but I don't blame you for seeing black, couldn't be arsed to take a better pic
how do you mean about the pants? Low rise?
>>11196115
>how do you mean about the pants? Low rise?
Yeah, low rise.
I don't like it when you see a triangle of shirt there. It's 'fashionable' right now, but I'm not a fan, and it won't look good in a few years time.
>>11196126
I see your point. I like suits slim however, though I can see why you feel like morons who aren't very knowledgeable have terrible opinions on suit fit. Do you know Saman/Dag btw or do you just like how they are dressed? I always wonder if it's some dude who know them who is posting pics of them or if they've spread through IG and tumblr
>>11196135
>I like suits slim
Fair enough, m'man! I wouldn't go so far as to say it's wrong, since it mostly boils down to taste. I do think it's too short though.
I don't know them personally, I've only talked to them a few times when placing my first order with them. Great guys though, really well dressed and I like their 'philosophy' when it comes to clothes and building a wardrobe.
Finally picked up my overcoat from them today, been waiting forever. Extremely happy with it!
>>11196161
I saw it on one of their IG profiles, it looks amazing. How much was it? Never asked about the price on any of their stuff really
How do I get a nice-fitting suit as cheap as possible? Just get one from Macy's or something and get it tailored? What has to fit, and what can the tailor adjust?
>>11196204
Shoulders need to fit. Everything else can be tailored
>>11196187
Wut, you saw a picture of my overcoat? Link please :P
I don't want to talk price, but I can say it wasn't much more expensive than the starting price mentioned on their website.
>>11196204
Make sure the shoulders fit well, the rest can be taken in/let out.
>>11196211
no, I didn't mean your coat in particular just Saman's coat. Alright, cool. Hope to see you wearing it in the streets of Stockholm this summer!
>>11196260
Aight, got'cha! Yeah, that double-breasted coat is really nice, I thought about asking for the same fabric for mine but decided against it.
If you see a manlet wearing pic related, holla at me!
Went into a fitting for my new coat yesterday. This time I'm trying a more
slimmer fit.
>>11196409
Is it bespoke?
Nice choice going with patch pockets.
>>11196426
Yep.
>>11195861
The scarf reads "I stole this from my mother's closet".
>>11196035
ID?
>>11196078
I dig the fit desu senpai
>>11196078
He's not?
hot inspo coming through
>>11196690
I was wondering what to make of the surge of neck... thing, so that's what it was.
>>11196409
Wow, it looks like shit.
got this japanese double breasted blazer
huge peaked lapels, and it's also segmented in the back so you can don't really have to unbutton when you take a seat and have good ventilation
>>11197301
are you retarded?
anon was probably correct on wearing a jacket 2-3 sizes small considering he could barely button the thing
>>11197612
No shit? It's not done.
>>11197804
>you can don't really have to unbutton
>>11197804
take the fucking jacket off or unbutton it when you sit down, dumbass. you look like an anime character on an anime star cruiser enough already.
>>11197962
only really applies to single breasted blazer tbrh senpai
if you can't leave your jacket buttoned while sitting it's probably a bad fit
>>11197305
This is actually quite good.
Lovely lapels on that jacket.
>>11197804
untuck the pocket flaps, the balance looks off with the flaps tucked in
>>11195830
daily reminder that that's a shit version of pic related's fit
>>11200183
huge pinstripe suit like that looks pretty goofy
>>11200549
agreed, especially when it's so tight and wrinkled
any love for four button suits?
What kind of suit should one wear in the south in the summer months?
>inb4 seersucker
>>11200771
Linen?
high rise
>>11200793
Some more high rise.
>>11201788
I have to start wearing suits to work. Any shoe/boot recs?
>>11201804
Where do you live? What type of work? What type of suits will you be wearing?
Brown oxfords are extremely versatile, either in leather or suede. If you want them less formal, go with quarter/semi brogue, if you want them really formal go with wholecuts.
Also, what's your budget? Please consider spending at the very least ~200€, because if you don't, you'll end up with pure shit.
Also think about buying two pairs that you can rotate between. It'll make them last longer and you'll have two pairs of shoes that you can wear - if you give them the right attention and care - for 10-20 years. If you divide the cost of "expensive shoes" by 10/20, the price you pay/year isn't really that bad, so there shouldn't be anything from stopping you from investing in a pair of quality shoes.

All the guys from The Armoury look incredibly stylish.
>>11196078
also, how fucking short is that? It's supposed to cover your ass
This jacket is on sale for like 43 dollars and I have a few weddings to attend this summer.
Think I can slam some puss in it?
>>11196409
Here's teh back of the jacket
>>11204095
Looking good. Love the darts.
I made a thread a few days ago asking about what kind of suit I should wear to my senior year formal, and I'm just here to ask another question or two.
So I was recommended to wear a suit and tie instead of a tuxedo, which is what I'll probably do, but I just remembered that there's a theme for the formal, and it's "Hollywood". That's all it says, the attire on the invitation thing says "Dress to impress", nothing more than that.
I'm assuming that by the Hollywood theme they mean what people would wear to the red carpet? Don't know how that would be different to any other formal event.
And if I were to go with the suit and tie, should I go for black, grey/dark grey, or navy? I've got light-medium brown skin, if that matters at all.
Oh, and as an anon suggested, I looked at the different cuts of suits (English, Italian, American), and was just wondering whether one would be better than the other deepening on my weight? I liked the look of the English cut the most but I'm a little on the heavier side, so I don't know whether that'll matter.
Do suits work well with fat people? Have they ever worked well with fat people?
>>11205661
big boys
>>11205661
Im afraid that being able to properly wear suits already falls into thin privilege
>>11205956
Oh.
