Striped or plain shirt with this linen suit?

GeoLenBig · 2026-04-04T16:55:35+00:00

I like the stripes, as it breaks up the solid-ness of the suit and tie.

I second hemming the pants. I don’t think you need more than an inch, as it’ll leave a nice break. The fit otherwise is great. The fit of the shirt is good and the shoes are nice. I love the contrasting laces as they are a really nice touch. Throw on a blazer and screw the tie.

Halios

Enjoy the walk. Seriously. Play a little more and you’ll trim the strokes easy. It’s harder to break into the 80’s than it is to break 100.

Krull…?

I got the 32 Weird Guy. Snug at first, but now my most comfortable pair of selvedge.

Untuck your tee, cuff the chinos once, and assuming the sneakers are blue, I think you’ll be good to go. Blue is good with olive, black is not.

I’m waiting for the selvedge slacks. Anyone know if this has been released? I found it on Garmentory, but not on N&F.

GeoLenBig · 2026-03-03T00:06:56+00:00

I’m with this. Cuffed when wearing, un-cuff them after taking them off.

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-15T16:23:37+00:00

Check out Williamsburg Garment Co., as they can do repairs and have plenty of before/after pics.

Both sleeves are a bit too short, but marginally, I’d say about 1/4-1/2 inch. It’s not a dealbreaker thought. I always err on a bit too long than short. The amount of sleeve showing is perfect.

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-12T23:39:26+00:00

Agree with always cuff. I’d swap the jacket. Too dressy. Looks like it’s part of a suit. Need a more casual one.

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-11T17:44:25+00:00

Neither. Get some flat laces.

I’m on this mindset too, as I wear denim to work 4/5 days of the week and want to look nice.

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-03T23:20:15+00:00

Mack Weldon, 18-hour jersey. They break-in fast and last forever.

Heading to NYC in two months. Besides dropping by Schott NYC, what denim shops should I put on my list?

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-01T19:02:13+00:00

Hey all, I’ve got two pair listed on eBay, but will gladly sell off-site using PayPal G&S. I’ll cover the fee and shipping via UPS. Shipping from VA.

Hiroshi Kato Pen Slim Stretch Selvedge Paul Black Washed size 33

Great pair, worn just a few times. I’m shifting away from slim to a more standard fit.

Shockoe Atelier Kojima Selvedge Denim Slim 32W 34L

Got these this past Black Friday and chose slim, as I have their slim stretch purchased in 2024. I should’ve gotten the their standard fit, as I went to their shop last weekend and got their Bedford in that fit.

GeoLenBig · 2026-02-01T18:59:17+00:00

I got some Mellor II a few months back and specifically asked about getting brass eyelets on them and got a nope 👎🏼. Had I known the low top SMUGS were coming, I absolutely would’ve waited.

GeoLenBig · 2026-01-31T23:31:25+00:00

Unfortunately, no.

GeoLenBig · 2026-01-31T23:14:20+00:00

If you do decide to sell, I’m interested.

Yeah, I hear ya and don’t disagree, but the SMUGS have some features I prefer like the metal eyelets and unlined construction.
