Any one done a Bonobos Guideshop? I just realized I am close to one. Want to try it for their pant, shirt, and shorts. Wondering if I need a 30min appointment or a hour appointment?

Anybody have a take on jw nordstrom top coat 95 wool 5% cashmere. And what are people's opinion on regular bally's from Switzerland that retail for 500?

I"m 6'0 210 with a 46" chest and 36" waist and in reasonable shape. I find the XL slim fit in Bonobos shirts is just right. I like a close not tight fit, and it works well. I hope that's some help. I can put up a pic if you want.

For those who have Bonobos shirts, I am trying to decide between Slim, Tailored, or Regular. I usually buy size small slim for bottom-up shirts but recently with working out and being a father. I have had to move from slim to regular with mostly a problem in the shoulders and the back; a good example would be target or express house brand. What would people try tailored or regular?

Tailored is their closest fitting cut. If you work out at at it will feel painted on. Their slim is generally a bit slimmer than most brands and their regular fit is closer to a traditional slim cut. I'm pretty thin and fluctuate between slim and regular depending on how I want the shirt to fit. They have measurements of the chest width in their sizing guide. I would measure that against a shirt you already have. Or you can order two different fits and return one after trying on if it's not final sale.

Hey Folks! Thanks for creating this thread, it will be easier to answer & question.

Can anyone let me know that how I can verify the quality of denims? I always got stuck while buying them. Experts some tips on this please.

Help Needed.

Good job on the weight loss! I think the outfit looks great. No changes on my end. Cheers.

Hello all,

I recently lost a bunch of weight ( thank you Falun Gong) and decided to try to dress a little better. It hasn't been long since I had an entire wardrobe of old navy and wal-mart, with nothing less than 2-3 years old, and much of it a decade or more old.

I think this outfit works ok, with fit being acceptable and colors going together but what do you guys think about it?

I wonder if the rolled up sleeves are too casual for the tucked-in-with-belt look and if I should maybe try lighter jeans - and otherwise I just don't trust my judgement at this point.

Let me know what you think, and thanks!

Congrats on the weight loss!

Looks good from here. I often do rolled up sleeves and tucked in, but my look is a little more southern Preppy. I agree that lighter jean would look better, but it is almost full summer down here.

I could use a second opinion on this casual outfit

Yeah, I'm going to return it. It sucks because everything else about it is perfect for me except the length. I've got some other options coming in.

I have a jacket very similar to that, which I got at a J Crew outlet like a decade ago (maybe longer now). What you have is essentially a trucker jacket/field jacket hybrid. It's the length of a trucker jacket with field jacket details - lower patch pockets and olive drab canvass cut to trucker jacket length. I think that's what the designer was going for as the sleeves are the right length for you, just the torso is short compared to a classic field jacket. If you like the look I don't see anything wrong with it, but if you're going for a classic field jacket look it's definitely cropped, as those usually extend below the hips rather than hit at the hips like this does.

The proportions are completely off for a field jacket. Looks more like a bomber with field jacket fabric and detailing, which is rather silly. It should cover most of your crotch, like the sports coat. I'd return it.

Looks short to me, but probably depends in part on how tall you are, which isn't entirely evident from the picture.

[DocDave]

Is this jacket too short? I'm trying to decide on keeping it, and the only thing holding me back is I feel like it should be an inch or two longer.

For me, yes. I'd return it.
