Looking for a specific solid color T-shirt brand

Hey! I'm on the hunt for a particular brand. It's definitely something I haven't seen. They do solid shirts. There's this rectangular stitching near the tag area that's pretty distinct. They do really nice soft shirts that have a bit of a curve at the bottom.

Rebuilding Wardrobe (Menswear / RRL / Workwear)

Hey guys I’m coming back from a pretty lengthy deployment deployment and I wanted to rebuild my wardrobe when I got back from almost the ground up. I own a couple suits and a few of the old basic wardrobe but I was hoping you guys could help me out. I’m trying to rebuild with a focus on menswear and splashes of RRL/workwear… Where should I start? I tried looking in Reddit and some of their threads are about 4-5 years old. And some of the blogs I used to visit don’t really update themselves anymo...

Quick Q on Proxy (Buyee)

Hi all, Just hoping to get some insight from anyone that uses Buyee for their orders from Japan. I placed a bid on an item using the button “Win now for buyout price” and I received an email from Paypal saying that I had authorized a payment. However, it’s been almost 10 hours since then and the listing is still up and it’s not showing up on my orders page....

I own the blue pants shown in the first image. Would you stick with that and match the polo, or would grey would be a better choice here?

Getting more creative with clothes you have

I feel like for the past while my fits have kinda gone in a cycle where I get a new thing, use it for a few fits. Runout of ideas and then move onto the next thing. And so far that's kinda worked because I've been expanding my wardrobe and getting new stuff. But I'm wondering if there anything you guys do to intentionally be more creative with what you already have, other than the obvious look at inspo and just wait till ideas for fits come to you. I think some of this comes from me feeling like I'm just putting on some already cool pieces, instead of styling things in ways that make them particularly interesting....

Coping with Online Shopping as the only option

Online shopping can only be so satisfying. U find urself on the 30th page of a buyee or eBay search and wish u could walk into a shop and just walk out with the thing? There’s so little good brick and mortar retail around me though and I’m stuck with online shopping to find things. How do u cope with things only being accessible online?...

Mid-to-high end chinos and OCBDs?

After years of WFH, wearing out some of my old classics (MiUSA Brooks Brothers OCBDs), and growing out of others (slim fit Epaulet chinos), I'm likely going to refresh the basics I've neglected for a while - specifically, chinos and OCBDs. What are my options these days? For chinos, I already have a pair of dressy chino slacks from the Armoury, so I'm mainly looking at options on the office-appropriate spectrum of business casual to workwear. I'm looking for slim/straight more than slim or wide leg, and I want a decent rise. My Epaulet rivet chinos from ~10years ago are not comfortable these days....

Trouser fit question; what I would want and what I (currently) got!

I am currently (slowly but surely) building up a business-casual menswear wardrobe and am looking for some fit advice before trying on, and ordering new wool trousers. I have one pair of trousers from SuitSupply (Vigo model; pleated) which I thought would be a great addition to my wardrobe, and I think it will be, if I would get the fit correct. I have added two pictures of how I would ideally like my trousers to look (grey pants, pictures 3 and 4), and the current state of these SuitSupply trousers in picture 1 and 2. I really like the fabric and the looks of these trousers, but they just don't fit me well and I could really use some fit advice before buying another pair/altering this one. ...

Closet/Clothes Cleanout

How do you clean out your closet and purge old clothes? How do you determine which pieces you want to get rid of? At what point is an article worth selling vs donating? When does it make sense to sell vs donate?...
