Which shorts work better here?

Which of these linen shorts works better here? Also, any thoughts on the length? I think both are 6.5" or 7", and I was debating whether to take around an inch off....

how should I clean my pre-owned barbour jacket

i bought this preowned barbour jacket off grailed 9 months ago and now that it's getting to rain more i am feeling the urgency of getting this cleaned to wear i know that the general wisdom is to spot clean and use towels to wipe old wax and grime off but im wondering if there's anything i should do about it when it's significantly more dirty. or if there are places i can go to get this cleaned and rewaxed as a service...

looking for casual shoe that also looks good beat to shit

Hi I am looking for a casual shoe that's kinda waxy or at least will look good with the shit kicked out of it. I guess something with some texture, or a general lack of uniformity. I don't want no cap toe or dress-y vibes. Basically I hate everything about the last picture, the way the laces look, the soles, the stupid little porous holes. Right now my only non-sneaker shoes in rotation are Paraboot Michaels and Reims but I'd love something with a round toe. I've got mono 1461s but they hurt my footsies. Maybe need to size up, idk....

Question about suits

If I were to buy suit separates, should I get one pair or two pairs of pants to go with my suit jacket. I would ideally be wearing this suit once a week on Sundays and I would want it to last a good while

Trucker jacket at vintage pop up

So I stopped in this weird vintage pop up store at my local mall and they had this trucker style jacket (says Versace Classic but it’s probably not real), and I can’t tell if it’s too big. Doesn’t fit like a traditional one for sure (also it’s $10 if that makes a difference; haven’t bought it but I may stop back there)

Second hand loafer buying advice

Hi, I'm looking to pick up a first pair of brown penny (?) loafers cos I only have a pair of black oxfords and 3 pairs of sneakers rn. I don't really wanna spend a lot on these so mainly looking at second hand on eBay and Vinted. Probably worth noting most eBay sellers accept returns whereas Vinted don't, since idk how they'll fit. They'll be for smart/business casual events and whenever I feel like wearing them I guess. UK size 7.5 in my sneakers so searching for UK size 7 in these. I have found the following listings, not sure how to evaluate any of them to be honest, I just searched for recommended brands. Do I just pick one of them I like and hope for the best? https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/6514604568-grenson-hand-crafted-mens-moccasins-size-7 £30...

Trousers fit

So I ordered trousers, they arrived. size 30. They are a bit small in the tighs, I cant really lift my knee to above like 80degree or so. But also a bit wide in the waist. Should I try to get 31 instead? Because waist can be made smaller by a tailor right? Should I send images?...

Kapital Century Denim questions

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking at century denim no.9 for a while now and want to pull the trigger. I am a size 31/32 in most denim I own but I cannot tell whether to get a 34 or 36 in these jeans. I’d prefer a slightly wider fit so I’m thinking a 36 might be best and then I’d get the waist tailored to fit me better, but looking for some advice from people who actually own century denim. From what I’ve read, it sounds like a 34 would be better for me in terms of going for the intended fit, but I want a wider silhouette than the slim-straight fit that these jeans seem to be....

Fit check new shirt

Recently got a Kapital bandana reversible jacket but it’s a bit more cropped than I’m used to. I have a ton of cropped clothes but this one is more cropped than my other stuff. Wanted to get some suggestions on styling it. Please imagine I’m wearing some white gats for shoes or something like that, I didn’t want to wear shoes indoors.

Have no idea how to style this flannel/overshirt...

Hey guys I've picked up this flannel/overshirt because I thought it looked really nice, but the issue is that I'm unsure how to make it work? It was a pretty impulsive purchase and I'm kinda regretting it. I wanted to wear it casually like I am doing in the photo with shorts, but I'm not sure if it works or not. If anyone has some styling tips I would appreciate it. I've tried wearing it with Khaki pants but I don't like the look. It's not my style. What colors can generally work with this?...
