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?...

Madrid boutiques/shops/brands

Haven't been on MFA for some time. I'm a bit out of the loop and was looking for any advice on stores to check out in Madrid (outside of Carmina and Vilalta boutiques). I also don't mind window/inspo shopping or just browsing (so price is not an issue). And also not limited to just Spanish brands (I'll be looking to cop some more affordable Barbour here than UK or NYC). Anything worth seeing is appreciated. Thanks!

Experience with bleaching denim?

Hey y'all. Picked up these cool vintage 501s recently with some really lovely fading & honeycombing, I just wish they were a slightly lighter wash. Has anyone here bleached denim before? I'm thinking of just doing a really weak bleach solution to try and lighten them ever so slightly while still maintaining the contrast, but don't want to just wash all the fades out. Tips appreciated!...

Japanese Brand Recommendations

I bought a ton of Uniqlo and my closet is full of them. Mostly essentials, Oxfords, Jeans, Chinos, Tshirts. I was wondering what other amazing Japanese brand I can branch out from here on out? Appreciate the suggestions in advance. I mostly wear trucker jacket, paired with jeans and a redwing boot....

Dressing with long legs

I’m 6’3” and have some really really long legs. It’s extreme, I’m the same height sitting down as a friend who’s 5’7”. Should I be hiding or emphasizing them when I dress?

Black Chukka Boots

I really like the boots that Chris Brain wears in his videos on Youtube. They look like black smooth leather chukka/desert boots to me. But these seem quite uncommon (most are suede and brown). Does anyone know what these boots are? Or have some recommendations for close alternatives?

Dressing down a navy blazer to wear it more

I bought a navy blazer a year and half ago based on the subreddit’s idea that it “is the most versatile jacket a man can own”. Though I find myself not wearing it too often, since I live in the west coast and don’t attend a prestigious university. To me it just seems too formal for most occasions (work, dinner, etc.) I’m 27 also. I am looking for ideas on how to style it that’s less ivy and more casual or even workwear. I have a banquet coming up for a club that’s not necessarily formal, but also people typically try to dress nicer. One outfit I came up with is this chambray shirt, olive drab officer chinos, boots. Curious what you think?...

Whitesville vs. Velva Sheen White 2-Pack Shirts

Just wanted to hear some more opinions on both brands, cannot decide which one to pick.

smart shirt question

What’s the meta for heavy weight white or off white tees? Prefer boxy fit short length. Not hugely oversized necessarily. No budget, but thinking some heritage brand rather than designer

dumb shirt question

when i wear more fitted shirts they always ride up on my chest like this. does this mean i need to wear bigger shirts or does it mean that i need to start actually wearing bras? or is it just not that big of a deal?

Drier shrunk my longsleeve polo

Hey guys, I fucked up and shrunk my longsleeve PRL vintage polo. The body is still wearable and has actually a nice crop lol, only issue is the sleeves got too short. Is it possible to unshrink it? It's 50% Merino wool 50% acrylic.

Anian overcoat fit check

Picked up the new(?) Anian wool overcoat in charcoal - love the weight and feel so far but want to grab a fit check. I know I want to shorten the sleeves a bit but other than that, looking to see if any other changes should be made. Also - is there any major “donts” with an overcoat? I feel they’re pretty versatile and the rest of the items can kind of dictate the formality of the outfit and the overcoat just fits. I’ve looked at inspo and there doesn’t seem to be a one-style-fits-all...
