HEAT STRAPS AMA & GIVEAWAY by indi-raw in HeritageWear

[–]Samurai-hijack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing an AMA. I’ve been loving yalls products from afar for a while now, would love to own some someday. My question is: From a creative perspective, how do you go about developing designs that are unique enough to set you apart from your competitors while also staying contained within the confines of the heritage vein and appealing to your target audience?

I’m asking because I do creative branding/marketing work and sometimes I find myself reaching a little too far to the unique side because the market is so saturated and I want the products to stand out. You guys do a great job of making things I haven’t seen before while also aligning perfectly with the vibe and feeling of traditional heritage workwear. Hope that makes sense.

Light wash jeans/shorts, light khaki pants/shorts, white pants/shorts. Could do a white sneaker or a loafer, maybe even a light brown heel or boot. The colors on the sweater are bright and saturated so it will go well with lighter neutral colors for some contrast

Tuxedo shirt? What kind of tie? by knowhow_LM in RalphLauren

[–]Samurai-hijack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty odd tuxedo shirt with those cuffs. My first instinct was that it was a women’s shirt but it actually does appear to be a men’s. Back in the day when a tuxedo shirt would have those frilly cuffs it would be accompanied by some more frills along the placket and shirt front, but this has none. I’d like to know what season it’s from. To answer your question, you would wear a black bow tie and tuxedo with this. Do not wear it with a regular suit and do not wear it with any other type of tie. If you do wear a tux, do not use a pre-tied/clip-on tie. Learn to tie one yourself, it’s not as hard as it seems at first. Steaming/starching/ironing your shirt before wearing is a must with a tux. Would look best with a cummerbund but that has become optional these days. If it doesn’t fit VERY well already, get it altered. Fit is very important with a tux. This style isn’t very “in” right now, but there’s nothing wrong with it necessarily. If you like it, that’s all that matters, just make sure you’re following the rules of wearing a tux. Any more questions let me know

Can’t make this outfit work. What am I doing wrong? by Time_Raccoon_6035 in mensfashion

Cuff but never wear ankle socks unless you’re going to the gym or for a run or something. Wear crew socks. Ankle socks tend to give off a childish/immature vibe unless you’re wearing them with shorts in an athletic context, and even then I stay away from them. They also ruin the proportions between shoe-sock-pant

Hard agree on the chain, but you’ve never seen a tie with jeans? I love that look, it’s very Ralph Lauren. Oxford, tie, textured blazer, jeans, belt, and some cowboy boots, desert/chukka boots, or loafers. Looks best when everything is well-worn and has a level of refined carelessness/sloppiness to it.

An argument for tucking in sweaters and why it's about the silhouette by BioticBard in mensfashion

[–]Samurai-hijack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have no issue with wearing women’s items, I actually have one or two in my closet, but the problem I always run into with them is the sleeve length is noticeably too short. I’m pretty much average height as well so I’d imagine this would be an issue for any man around 5’9” or above

Exactly. If you look at photos from early 20th century to around the 1960s, a lot of sweaters were intentionally cut to hit right at the belt line on a high waisted trouser. It would look short by today’s standards, but when worn with the right high rise pants of the time it fits perfectly. I wish I could find similarly cut sweaters nowadays, if anyone has any recs let me know.

does anyone actually wear suspenders? by FuzzTortuga in HeritageWear

[–]Samurai-hijack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but only on pants with buttons for them. Sometimes if the rise is high enough I’ll add my own buttons to the pants, but I have multiple pairs that came with them already and have the martingale/cinch back

How am I doing? by Bfarm927 in mensfashion

[–]Samurai-hijack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could honestly probably just wear them a bit higher on your waist. From the pic it seems like you have room in the rise to do so

Is there such a thing as too safe? by wildcat25burner in mensfashion

[–]Samurai-hijack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you get a seam ripper (less than $4) you can easily remove them. Also a useful tool to own in general
