Pant rise discussion

I’ll make this short but have a question regarding pant rise as it’s surprising to my gf that I can’t just “feel” where a pair of pants is suppose to sit. It makes sense to me that regardless of rise, manufacturers would want rear/side pockets to sit in relatively the same position for ease of use. This would mean that the “rise” would be in added material above the pockets, no? And then the rest of the plant shape would help the pants naturally sit where they’re intended. Basically, I haven’t found a single pair of pants that naturally sits at my actual waist or slightly below my belly button. I can pull them up of course but they don’t stay there regardless of a belt (unless I crank it down uncomfortably tight). I do, honestly, find this quite uncomfortable but I also don’t know if I’ve tried/bought true higher rise pants so I’m not sure if that’s even a fair comfort-check....

Is this sport coat too big?

I’ve never really worn sport coats before, so I don’t totally know how they’re supposed to fit. I bought one off eBay using my measurements, but I’m wondering if it’s still a little too big

Straight leg jeans with a high waist

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for some new jeans. I’m looking for some high waisted jeans, <$120, ideally 12in+ rise. I want to like 505s and cowboy cuts but the rise isn’t high enough. Any ideas?

EG shirt fit check, styling, issues

I received a new Engineered Garments combo shirt, but I think it fits weird. The waist is really baggy without being that wide in the chest. Should it be worn tucked or untucked?
What kind of pants is best to pair it with? I wore the baggiest pants I have at the moment but I'm not sure if that works well. I also have issues with the stitching. This shirt has more loose threads I've ever had on a new shirt. I expected better craftmanship given how much this brand is revered around these parts....

What is the most iconic winter jacket from your favourite designer brand?

I am doing a bit of research. For example the undercover puffer jackets with leather sleeves, the rick owens moncler collab etc

What's the difference between denim and chino fabric anyway?

This is definitely a stupid question, but it's pretty hard to find a satisfying answer online. They're both twill cotton fabric. There's all this "lore" (for lack of better term) around denim, like "Japanese raw selvedge denim", that you don't really see with chino fabric. Could people theoretically do the same with chinos? The only difference I see is that chino fabric is somehow more lightweight, but I don't understand why.

Formal winter shoes for people with big / wide feet.

Hello, I am looking for some new shoes, preferably dress shoes that are good for the upcoming winter. I sadly have the problem of having really wide and big feet. I for example usually wear the Size 49.5 / US 15 with Nike Shoes like Air Force 1, Jordans etc. (48.5 also fits somewhat, but need a lot of wear to stretch). The price is not really important, aslong as the quality is good and the shoes are warm. I have already thought about some shoes from Lloyd, like the Jason or Nigel models but sadly these are rather narrow shoes. Does anyone know if there are comparable alternatives for people with feet like mine?...

Largest reasonable drop for RTW and MTM tailoring?

Hello! I have a 40 inch chest and 30 inch waist, though often get closer to 41/29 depending on the season. I understand standard drop between chest and waist measurements is 6. Is it reasonable for me to find a good suit that’s either off the rack or made to measure with these proportions? Any particular brands known for a muscular build? (I’m also very short - 5’4 - with broad shoulders to add to the fun proportions) Thanks!...

Formal shirt fit driving me insane...

I really like to push the boat out in my work wear, wearing neutral chinos with neutral shirts every day basically, maybe chucking in a quaterzip here and there - very avantguarde I know, might be too crazy! I am really struggling with shirt fit though: without exception all shirts I've tried are either far too tight around the chest or far too baggy around the waist. My (actual, not shirt) measurements are 15.5" neck , 42-43" chest, 31" waist - none of these are abnormal measurements but it seems that any shirt that fits my neck and chest is designed to fit a 37" waist with acres of flapping material, and anything that reasonably fits a 31" waist makes me look like I'm trying to do a superman impression. I do prefer a more tailored fit (but not a very tight/skinny fit) in shirts; baggy shirts drive me nuts and I'll just sit there constantly pulling and tugging them to try and make them fit properly. Can anyone recommend any UK available options that might fit my build, or am I destined to just commit to custom tailored shirts? I would like to ditch the shirt and chinos altogether, but old habits die very very hard with me. Realistically I wouldn't want to be spending more than £125 per shirt, although sub £75 would be ideal. Cheers!...
