Thanks. I guess I’m just curious when I see a jacket that is near-perfect for sale, if I can/should factor in the cost to get it slimmed to fit better.
I agree about Gustin jeans. After buying their stuff for a decade, I finally gave up a few years ago. Bad QC, long waits and the short rise is...
Yeh, I’ve heard a lot of people say you shouldn’t alter a jacket beyond shortening the sleeves, because you risk ruining it.
On the other hand, when I received my custom Johnson, it was a little too big in the body. They said no problem send it back and within a few days they had taken about...
I used to buy a pair each year when I went home to Aus, but even there the price is insane now. They are a nice boot, but priced out of their level.
How much are they from Europe?
RMW are nice dress boots, but have been way overpriced for a decade. The Gardener and Lachlan are great for casual wear and the Comfort Craftsman is a good dress boots. For something a little more casual, Redback and Blundstone do some good Aussie Chelsea boots.
Engineer boots look great in...
I need to restock my under-jacket t-shirts. I like slim fitting, with very short sleeves, a pocket, <$50 each, and a mix of white and off-white.
I’ve bought 3Sixteen in the past and they’ve been decent. I might also try Bronson’s USN Submarine shirt.
Anything else I should consider?
Fred Perry, Ben Sherman and Lambretta are ok. Baracuta is not worth the retail price.
Merc are really good, but do not have the traditional raglan sleeves. Good slim fit with sturdy material.
Jump the Gun are excellent.
My personal favourite (though not authentic styled) is this copy of Tom...
I have a few other jackets, but my must-have list could easily be parred down to:
Harrington
Peacoat
Denim trucker
Leather half-belt
Mackintosh or waxed rain jacket
This doesn’t include sport coats and office attire.
I think a lot of it is their patterns and the mobility that comes from them. This thing is dtiff heavy leather and a very slim fit on me and yet it moves well with me and doesn’t feel restrictive at all.
