Do you buy a size down or up with these? I'm a 9 but they got 8.5 and 10, 9 and 9.5 are out of stock

You may be out of luck then.. I find AE s fit either true to size or are up to a half size larger than stated, so for a shoe you would want either a 9 or possibly 8.5. But for boots you usually want to go up a half size so you would probably want a 9.5 Dalton. 8.5 would likely be too small and 10 almost certainly too big in length and width.. AEs are wider than Euro makers.. I wear 9.5 and it seems that size always sells out first.

I'm normally a 12.5 (so I buy 13 because nobody makes 12.5) but with AE I'm an 11.5. I have to wear super thin socks with them but AE's are so comfortable that I don't mind.

Just found them in my size, they were the "wingtip" variety though.

I'm debating between black shoes or black boots. Not sure if there's a difference when wearing them or how they look in "biz casua" attire.

My current pair of black shoes are 6 years olds (bought them for high school graduation) and the sole is coming off.....I was trying to see how long they could last hahaha!

^Thanks man, I'm debating between Fifth Avenue and Strand shoes from AE. Both are nice, but the Strand look too elaborate to me. I prefer simple design so will probably buy 5th av.

Post: #59

Pulled the trigger on 5th av + shoeshine as a filler to get the $50 statement credit for $200 or more.

I just picked up a pair of Steve Madden boots at Nordstrom Rack for $70. This pair is called Grafton. They looked cool as fuck, though I don't know about the quality. Oh well, as long as they last for a year or so, I'm a happy guy.

Bought similar pair of Steve Maddens last fall @ the Rack. Taken them to the cobbler twice for clean ups but the show itself is holding up very well. I wear the fuck out of them. Good buy.

I rock this one



44 MM wide. about 12MM thick and cool as fuck with stainless steel and black face. For $280-350USD it is a really good watch for the the collection.

Downside is poor build quality and Chinese time. If they used Swiss time and better materials would not hesitate paying $500 plus.

Unless you're looking for really high end stuff, Express is a great choice for coats and blazers. They have some on sale right now. As a reference point, I have been wearing these for over a year now. They fit my body extremely well and come off as looking very fitted. I'm not huge, maybe medium build. Definitely recommend you go to a local Express to try on some to figure out your size before ordering. They may even have some more deals in store as well.

The quality is great for the price. I still keep receiving compliments from both guys and girls. You can't go wrong for the price.

Guys, I just picked up this suit from combatant gentlemen. It's a Slim Fit Charcoal with Herringbone pattern.

https://www.combatgent.com/suits/the-cha...gbone-suit

My phone won't allow me to directly link you, sorry

The entire getup, suit and pants cost me $200 plus tax, which came out to $228 out the door. I am 28 and just needed a suit for an upcoming event, so I didn't see fit to invest in a Zara or the like. This would be my first suit, but I worked for a short time in the men's suit section of a designer retailer during my early 20's so I'm familiar with the basics of suit quality and the good/bad.

The suit has what I believe to be surprisingly good fit and finish for the $200 price. It's not an Armani for sure, but it blows DKNY and CK suits out of the water. The herringbone pattern isn't too heavy, which hopefully will allow me to wear it year round. The wool feels of very decent quality, I don't like the inner lining on this particular variation because it has this almost athletic-looking mesh on the inside. But it for sure isn't a deal breaker.

I also used a promo code I found online to get a free tie, and I went with the shadow plaid slim tie in purple and got lavender pocket square to go with it.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this company to a young professional or a younger guy just getting into the suit game. If you're an investment banker in his early 40s then you undoubtedly have several better options already gracing your wardrobe.

Now, I need your guys help on the fit if you would oblige me!

I am 5'11 160lbs and their fit tech suggested a 38R jacket. I opted for the 32 pants since my Levi's are that size, but I feel the pants are far too long and the crotch sits too low. I understand suit pants are unhemmed, but these just spill endlessly over my ankles even with 1" boots on. I read online that their pants run small but this doesn't seem to be the case. I am most likely going with a 30 pants instead.

Based on these pics, what alterations do you think I need to make?





My limited understanding suggests I should take the waist in by an inch and raise the back also by about 1-1.5". One problem is that when I lift my arms to the side, the padding sort of bunches up and lifts as well, and it doesn't look good. Is that normal? I would love some suggestions from the suited up veteran players. Thanks in advance.

This thread seems to be for more business/formal attire, but Abercrombie is having a 50% off sale for their online store. I might grab a pair of jogger sweats.

Post: #74

Regarding the combatgent question. Can't you return the pants? I thin they had free returns right? I looked into it a couple of years ago and didn't like the suits. So I returned them for free.

Maybe they have gotten better.

1) Get pants that fit better. You will need to hem the pant legs, just the way it is to get a good fit.
2) I don't see any shirt cuff showing. Usually you want 1/4 inch or more of cuff showing when your arms are at your sides. If your coat jacket is covering up your shirt sleeves, your jacket sleeves are too long. BUT FIRST!!! Make sure your shirt is the right fit for you.

What does everyone think of J. Crew, particularly their suits? I buy most of my clothing there..
