Legit Suit Challenge 7 days in nice threads

fuckin a. Keep us posted. I'd drop the car bit though, although I'm from Canada, if you use that line it's a pretty certain rejection from basically any girl. You'll be drinking right? Just don't mention it and cab like a responsible gentleman haha.

Dressing well and feeling good exudes confidence. And it's the confidence the girls flock to.

Please get hammered tomorrow and buy some suits. Thanks milk.

there is absolutely nothing better than a proper suit

You sound like a douche, might be the alcohol talking.

You have to get it tailored, and please don't be offended. But generally, americans who wear suits in the US, wear them a few sizes too big, and never bother getting them tailored.

I spent ~ $1,400 on my last suit and I'm very happy with it.

You don't think he is legit ?

you should get your suit done in asia, sometimes it is easier if you already have flown there and they have down all the measurements, but you can get 'legit' for 1/4 or 1/5 the cost. So $300 instead of $1500, same or better quality

1400, shit. Yeah, I need to get one tailored as well, hard as balls for me to find anything to fit decently (6'4", long arms).

No need for me to spend that kinda cash on a suit yet though, hopefully in the not too distant future.

Yeah, getting it tailored is of the highest priority. next comes fabric. Also some oxford or brogue dress shoes to show class. A formal attire is very comfortable and offers a variety of possibilities to express oneself. Even 1 navy blazer can up a typical poker players wardrobe by 350%.

Report back with your suit milkman !

do it buddy!

I heard HK tailored suits are best value for quality. Never worn a suit before unless its for a wedding and shit.

+1 on the power of a beard (for me, a moustache). I have been thinking about something along these lines as well...so after some thought I have come to the following conclusion : If you want to test the power of a suit, you need to get a brand name suit. From there I'd say that there is a pretty big difference in style between say, a Zegna suit and a Tom Ford/Dolce suit...both of these styles would deliver, just depends on what you want, what you do, what people you are around. I myself prefer the latter but if I were someone in corporate client service I'd get a Zegna suit but you don't seem like the Zegna type either...From what I've seen at Crystals, Tom Ford/Dolce suits retail at $5,000. But if you are going for what you say you are, HK tailored suits or some custom suit design site won't cut it...gotta go this route imo.

vikings and suits shouldnt mix.

I think most people fool themselves into thinking they can recognize the quality of a suit by sight (unless its a really shitty suit) just like 99.9% of the population cannot tell the difference between a diamond and common glass

hell even this article says that its getting harder every day to recognize nice suits: http://www.themitchelli.com/2012/01/how-to-tell-quality-in-suits/

The whole thing is in your mind my friend.

Oh and you are a douchebag fwiw.

Scandinavians are known for dressing well.
When an educated person reads fabric in this thread he understands material, colour, pattern.

You were wrong in assuming snobbery on my part suggesting i advocate really expensive fabrics.

Sometimes you are expected to look the part or want to make a statement or impression. Nothing wrong with that.

[ ] Relevant article from a reputable source that sheds new light on the whole aspect of buying suits.

Why don't you sit your team pokerstars hoodie down in a conspiracy thread instead of trying to look smarter than you really are in topics you lack knowledge of. Oh and you couldn't probably even tell the difference between a single- and doublebreasted suit.

God i was so drunk, this post was so fuckin lame.. im not doing this, id rather spend my time and money with a nice meal and some good booze

wtf dude, don't be a pussy
do the legit suit challenge and report back to us!

Vikings were illeterate brutes who cared only for battle and wine, much less concerned with appearances compared to other contemporary civilizations.

You are a snob regarless if you advocate expensive fabric or not lol.

Oh I cant tell the difference betwen a single and adouble breasted suit? oh nooooes what has my life come to!, lol you pathetic snob try to shun me because I lack knowledge in fashion and I take certain form of pride in it, I dont dabble in the world of what stupid rags the gay community decides I should wear to fit in certain social group, fuck that.

That kind of goes without saying. That's fine. What is not cool is you trying to impose your views by beating others to the ground. You lack the empathy to understand other people and accept their choices, different from your own. You didn't get the viking joke, its ok. iop was right but he was very blunt and randomly agressive thus the comparison, and if you look at what he said, he also couldn't weave words into coherent sentences. Please spare me the first results of a google query on vikings because i have studied the subject at school and doubt your random article has anything on Edda.

Formal attire is comfortable and looks good. I recommended classic shoes because from what i've heard i couldn't put it past a poker player unknowingly wearing something attrocious with suit pants. Leaving aside some cultist ritual gatherings and meetings of ku klux klan you might be a part of, it is fair to say women appreciate a well dressed man. I'm not saying you, Baal, or anyone should jump on the fairy train and become a metrosexual. It would even be too big of a leap going from wearing a cactus to not being an article of ridicule in Sweden e.g. Just allow some room in your rigid and cold heart for guys making an effort to look the part.

True I have no empathy for dumb people in general.

I didnt say he shouldnt get a suit, I just said that probably most girls cant tell the difference between a well made suit (not a very cheap one) and some very expensive brand one, probably some keen eyed pro-gold digger witch can.

Im not saying he should avoid social consensus and go all hermit-monk and ultimately making a pariah of himself but what Milkman was trying to do in in his drunken stupor was pathetic, thankfully he sobered up and realized it.

Bullet point thoughts:

Chris,

I respect the stream of consciousness honesty but as others have said douche monitors def started to alarm a bit after the completion of OP.

+1 to iop.

To add as some things I have learned as an American who has worn suits too big. Maybe it will be of value:

As others have said it comes down to fabric and tailoring. It does not help either that much of the USA is still programmed to think the ideal of a suit is some baggy "power" suit that some slob mobster or wall street guy would "don." It does not help either that much of the USA is still programmed to think that an actual well fitted/tailored suit is "gay" or at least on some spectrum of the opposite of masculine. I am absolutely NOT saying that a suit defines masculinity but a suit that actually fits is a timeless staple of something a male can wear that is both functional and sharp in order to be able to leave the house and look/feel great rather than potentially lost, uncertain, whatever.

In response to Baal:

I agree with most points. Where the scam comes in on suits is the "illuminati" of the fashion world are constantly influencing + persuading on what color the suit should be, the lapel size, this, that and the other. If the "in" suit changes every 2 years or so then the buyer attempting to be "in" buys a suit every 2 years or so. Any well made, well tailored suit that is well taken care of and "suited" and "tailored" to the individual will be functional, flattering, and comfortable for as long as the individual's proportion does not change too much.

On another quick note where I disagree. Yeah the fashion world is probably influenced a lot by homosexuals. Or that might not even be true just the story humanity as been repeatedly sold. I feel as if this post might be a good place to go on a tangent about grouping the fashion "illuminati" as "gay." In many ways it is humorous and appropriate. On the other hand, as a human being that attempts to be ethical and live life with great intention something does not feel right when the word "gay" is used in a demeaning and/or emasculating fashion. It seems as if one definition of "gay" is 100% synonymous with homosexual. The issue is that another definition is synonymous with bringing people down. The issue is that through one of those mathematical properties that I do not remember what it is called, homosexual can now be synonymous with something as less human, less deserving of rights, less deserving of fairness. That is not cool.

However, if we are using gay in a demeaning/bullying way to make scamming humanity into idolizing unattainable goals of photo shopped model beauty and status and paying absurd margins to attain this "beauty" and "style" and "status" so they can jetset around the world generally spending time engaging in boorish, wasteful behavior... That sentence was getting out of control so I will edit. Basically, let us make trends of above behavior socially unacceptable but find some better demeaning/bullying words. Off the top of my head douchebag and asshole are both pretty good.

On another note where I disagree:

A lot of the pricing is based in quality of fabric, quality of design, quality of engineering, etc. X designer that has been making suits for hundreds of years has a shit ton of experience, the resources to hire great people, basically a bunch of proprietary resources that cost resources. They are exceptional at making suits. I do not want to delve too much into this because I think we are on the same page and you personally do not mind if others value that product and service just that you personally do not give a shit which I respect.

Getting back to where I disagree...

I think most people could actually tell the difference between a poor fitted, poor designed, shit polyester suit and an exceptionally fitted, exceptionally designed, cashmere from shang ri la suit. Furthermore, what is more important is that the wearer of either suit would definitely know. Truth, knowledge and honest reflection of lacking in an area that a tribe values is the basis of self esteem. So while even if people could not tell the difference between above the truth and knowledge that the individual is looking great it will effect how the individual is feeling and in many ways how they communicate with the world around them. On the other hand, at the end of the day a x well tailored, well designed wool suit and y well tailored, well designed wool suit will be indiscernible to anyone except for maybe some outlier suit savant.

Anymore writing at this point on this subject could just be writing shit for no real reason so I will move on.

Take Care LP.

baal you tend to hate on elitist things but in doing so become elitist in a way yourself

on to the gay thing

I've always been fit and worn clothes that form properly to my body. Whether that be a relatively tight (compared to the baggy shit a lot of my peers wear as influenced by the African American community) t shirt and jeans or something nicer. I've had people talk shit to me and even assume i'm gay. I just kinda laugh though because really they are just saying i'm an attractive male. For sure always getting more pussy than the haters. And if you are friends with any girls you will know that they would generally love to fuck their gay male friends if those males magically weren't homosexual anymore.
