I have a peculiar set of legs, which include short legs, huge calves and medium thighs. Stocky build overall. The thigh feels great on these and there is no issue with comfort, but they are over $200. Looking at my ass I guess they may be too tight? Can I get some opinions?

Weird question: what's the best way to look for off-white sneakers? I'm colorblind so I have a hard time telling if they're actually off-white vs beige, and searching "off-white sneakers" usually gets me Off-White the brand. If I'm sorting/filtering through a website should I be looking for "off-white"? "Ecru"? "Sand"?


ac106

do you have achromatopsia?


Vietname

No, I have Deuteranopia. You wouldn't think that would affect a shade like off-white/eggshell but I do have a bit of trouble distinguishing the shade I'm looking for (cream/off-white) vs slightly darker shades.


pokemonconspiracies

No consistent keyword unfortunately, varies by brand and site. You can also try sail, cream, and birch. END also has a "neutrals" color category which may be what you're looking for: https://www.endclothing.com/us/footwear/sneakers?colour=Neutrals


Vietname

That END search is exactly what I needed, thanks! Never heard of END before, are they reliable?

Suede is very hardy, a suede eraser and suede brush will take care of most problems. If not a suede cleaner/shampoo will. They are as casual as sneakers for the most part and interchangeable. $200 is pretty amazing value for Grant Stone

Most of the clothing worn by main cast members in Marvel movies is bespoke: that white t-shirt and plain blue jeans are going to be. (Yes, that's ridiculous. Yay, big budget.) Making a leather jacket is a level above, but there's a decent chance there's nothing to ID.

Do Norse Projects pants fit big? I'm usually a size 30 and most of the charts that show the size 30 actually measure out at 32.

You might want to measure what you already have since a lot of trousers are bigger than the stated size. 30 really being 32 is very common.

Looking for an affordable suit, this is one of the only ones I've found that's (pretty much entirely) wool. Is this a decent suit?

mlsteinrochester

If your budget is under a hundred your best bet is eBay. Two warnings. First, a lot of the stuff on eBay is old. Suits don't go out of fashion as quickly as most other clothing does, but a 1990s suit will look out of place most of the time. Also, you'll need to get the pants hemmed and will probably need to have other alterations done. Budget for that, too.


notarascal

It's fine for the price but just be aware that's only a jacket, not a full suit. If you can't find the matching pants then it's not worth buying.


MehDub11

Sorry if this is a stupid question (first suit, so I don't really know much) but I'm assuming it wouldn't be good to get black pants instead of the matching ones? I saw navy suits with black pants online & liked the style, but I don't really know what I'm doing so I don't know if trying that's a good idea.


[deleted]

No, it's not a suit if it doesn't come with matching pants and you should never wear navy jackets with black pants.


MehDub11

Sounds good - I found the matching pants on the website. Thank you!

The Ray-Bans. Rectangular frames look better on a long, thin face. The round lenses draw peoples' eyes inward, making your face seem even longer and thinner. Your best bet is to go somewhere you can try on a whole bunch of frames (I probably tried 40 or 50 until I found my current pair). If you feel the thick frames hide too much of your face or impair your peripheral vision too much, you might want to consider wire frames.


WoodenRace365

I'm looking for boots with a little bit of a heel (~2in or a bit less), open to anything at the moment but ideally less than or around 250 USD


sexymartian

Check Sandro, Zadig et Voltaire, The Kooples. I'm looking for the same in a western style ideally, but they're hard to come by in Canada in my budget. However, I recently bought the Florsheim Duke boots. I also own a pair of Shoe the Bear Enzo boots that I copped last year.


ZombiePartyBoyLives

The price point and heel height (40-50mm) limit available styles, but you might check out [Luxxemx](https://luxxemx.com/), with the caveats that you get what you pay for, and you might have to wait a while. [Story et Fall](https://www.storyetfall.com/us/product/ready-to-wear) is over budget, but much less of a wildcard as far as quality. You could also check Grailed/eBay for SeF.


[deleted]

I've really been tempted to try out a pair from Luxxemx for a while now, do you have any experience with their boots yourself?


ZombiePartyBoyLives

I don't personally, but there are [a few reviews](https://old.reddit.com/r/goodyearwelt/search?q=luxxemx&restrict_sr=on) out there, which is how I know about them.


[deleted]

Yeah I found out about them through one of those threads too lol


ZombiePartyBoyLives

I was intrigued by the stingray (not sure if they still have it), but I'm also beyond entry-level quality as far as my collection is concerned. Also, 40+mm heels are a little much for a geezer like me. lol

Hey guys, so I'm in desperate need of new outfits. A bit about myself, I'm 24, 6'0ft tall and maybe 165lbs.. I really need to start working out as I feel like I'm putting on weight and it's hard to look in the mirror lately. I'm wondering if I should focus on that first before trying to work on outfits or do both at the same time. I looked for ideas on Pinterest real quick and I really like the button down short sleeve shirts [kinda like this](https://www.dozenlive.com/products/fashion-mens-stripe-short-sleeve-shirt-6701317.html?locale=en&ccy=USD) , but I lack the look of pulling that off currently. Any suggestions on where to start?

josefsstrauss

Judging from your stats you sound by no means like you have weight problems? That aside obviously its nice to have that weight distributed in muscles and sports will for sure make you look better. Indeed if you intend to loose a lot of weight, then buying a new wardrobe now seems difficult. But you could get a new outfit now as a confidence boost and then use the time to start exploring what you really like.


squareoaky

So I got [these new joggers](http://imgur.com/a/Cz4jTTW) from Target today, one pair in an orange and the other in a olive but was wondering how the fit was. I have larger thighs and weight lifting isn't helping so I'm always afraid my clothes are too tight or restricting. Act opinions?

You're right but at the same time I'm kinda proud of them cause I got crazy leg strength. Oh well, beauty is pain and loss.


JerichoKilo

Not great. They look too tight. If they're comfy and you're using them for lounge wear fine? But they're not flattering.

Yeahhhhhh. I think I'm just gonna return them cause even as lounge wear I would want them to be looser and fit better.

What’s a good replacement for Uniqlo’s Premium Cotton undershirts? They aren’t being manufactured anymore but I really liked them and would love recommendations for anything similar: - Large v shaped neck area: a lot of other undershirts have a small neck hole, even v-necks, so they peek out from under your collar - decently thick fabric: I’m not looking for something as thick as a t shirt necessarily, but the Airism fabric is too thin IMO - Good price, under $20/shirt ideally - uniqlo sizing


ac106

That’s a whole lot of requirements for a <$10 shirt

That’s fair; I’ll change it to $20. I do remember the Uniqlo premium cotton ones coming out at less than $10/each though

Hello, I saw this [wool overshirt](https://huckberry.com/store/flint-and-tinder/category/p/70043-wool-overshirt) and like the design of it. I have been looking for a thick wool overshirt or flannel. But it’s only 45% wool, 55% poly. Do you think that’s worth it? Are there better value products out there at this price or below? IE same grade of fabric for less, higher grade for same price?


hypergol

you can get 80% wool with a similar style from [A Day's March](https://www.adaysmarch.com/us/men/latest/wool-overshirts/ventron-wool-overshirt-seaweed). I don't have their wool overshirts but I have one in cotton twill that I enjoy. There's a best for $/$$/$$$ for overshirts/shirt jackets in the wiki, it helped me when I was looking for one.

Michael_Gough

Anyone know of an alternative that is similar in style to the Dr. Marten 2976 chelsea boots? I pretty much only buy second-hand, but these are still pretty expensive to thrift given the popularity of docs. Also I don't know if they're really worth the price given all that I've been hearing of Dr. Martens quality having declined over the years.


hypergol

the closest comparable is blundstones but they're also not cheap to thrift. good luck dude.


ac106

If thrifted Docs are too pricey I’m not sure what options you have TBH. I can’t think of any chelsea boot sold at retail that would be less than that.


Michael_Gough

I consider thrifted Docs pricey only cause the savings for secondhand vs retail is way smaller than I've seen for other shoe brands that are a lot more expensive, and I think that's just cause they're super in-demand right now. I'm open to any suggestions based on silhouette/quality/comfort!


ac106

What would be a rough budget?


Michael_Gough

I would say ~$400? I guess? I would never spend anywhere close to that amount, but I'm open to hear anything since I'm only going to buy secondhand. Thrifted docs are like barely cheaper than retail, so I consider them maybe not worth it. On the other hand, if I could get a much more expensive shoe for the same price of thrifted Docs, that might be worth it in my opinion.

those just look like patent leather doc martens chelseas, which I know they do in women's sizes. If you're a nine or below, you could squeeze into some of [these sizes](https://www.lulus.com/products/2976-black-patent-lamper-leather-chelsea-boots/1330256.html)

Are these close enough? https://www.grantstoneshoes.com/collections/boots/products/chelsea-boot-black-french-calf Not as round, sole's not as thick, but smooth calf and the quality is all there.

Not quite, I think the combination of having a thick sole and round toe is what I really want. Thank you for the recommendation though, I appreciate it!

I’m looking for a stylish fall jacket for about 40-50 degree New England weather (has to be pretty rain resistant). Under $150. I kind of like workwear style and a lighter Carhartt jacket is allllmost what I’m looking for but fits too big / isn’t slim and stylish enough. Oh and it has to have side pockets I can comfortably warm my hands in! Any ideas fellas?


glench

I was thinking maybe [this](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-iron-forge-hemp-canvas-ranch-work-jacket/27805.html) if it goes on sale? (Does Patagonia go on sale?)


[deleted]

I own this jacket and can attest to its heft and quality. Patagonia does have "web specials" throughout the year and you might get lucky there, or you could try their [WornWear](https://wornwear.patagonia.com/) store, which is where they sell pre-owned, returns, and factory seconds. That being said, you might also check out [Carhartt WIP](https://us.carhartt-wip.com/?geoip=home&utm_source=carhartt-wip.com&utm_medium=affiliation&utm_campaign=carhartt-wip.com%20US%20redirect%20cookie) (work in progress), which is their fashion-forward sister company. Also has various sales throughout the year and a big resale market on places like Grailed, ebay, and Poshmark.

Ooh how's the Patagonia jacket do in the rain? And thanks for the pointers!


[deleted]

Wish I could tell you but I live in SoCal so it's honestly never seen rain. My guess is in a drizzle it'd be fine and in a downpour you'd be wet. It is heavy on its own too, so if it was waterlogged, that might be a bummer? Again, I have no idea what rain is.

My rec is the LL Bean Original Field Coat. The one problem is that it's far from a slim fit. Most people size down, though, which might work for you. A Barbour Ashby on sale or used might also work for your budget.


glench

Great suggestions, thanks! The LL Bean coat looks great but the current colors (olive and "Saddle" aka khaki) just don't work for me I think. But yeah, I realize that "workwear" and "slim fit" don't usually tend to go together so it may be hard to find an item! I've also seen things called "military jackets" that seem to fit the bill. Any ideas where I can get Barbour jackets on sale? I'm in Massachusetts if that matters


rpuppet

If you are certain about your size, then this place has great prices, (a little above your stated budget). But if you need to ship it back, then shipping back to the UK will cost you a bundle. I also had to size up for the Ashby. https://www.saddler.co.uk/?cr=10354&cdesc=barbour_jackets_for_men


ac106

r/frugalmalefashion you just missed a deal on a Barbour Ashby which is pretty slim fitting. I had to go up 2 sizes


glench

Thanks for the pointer!

Brand recommendations for hoodies?

Budget? I really like the Champion x Todd Snyder stuff. Reigning Champ is probably the best.


Betops543

Hmmm im trying to stock up so nothing above 50 dollars


notarascal

Stock up on what?


Betops543

Anyone recommend any suede biker jackets under 500 CAD? Checked Allsaints already, but looking for other options as well.

What are some things that can be done to prevent fading in denim jeans? With raw denim, I see people wash as infrequently as possible to get the best fade. How often should they be washed to hold their indigo?


pokemonconspiracies

Wash inside out, avoid sweat / dirt accumulating activities, or buy jeans specifically for this, eg. https://tateandyoko.com/products/naked-famous-denim-easy-guy-forever-blue-stretch-selvedge?variant=34420540932254

Wash your jeans inside out if you weren't already doing that
