Fabric Weight - Topic of the day 4/22/25
Ultimately the easiest way to judge how a fabric drapes is simply looking and handling it. Its nothing that can be boiled down into practical rules.

Fabric Weight - Topic of the day 4/22/25
But fabric weight is only one factor in this equation, with other stuff like material and weave playing an important role too.

Fabric Weight - Topic of the day 4/22/25
Well, fabric weight impacts drape in two ways: On the one hand, heavier fabrics can hang more cleanly because the weight of the fabric pulls it downwards. On the other hand thicker fabrics can be stiffer and therefore less drapey because they kinda "stand" - see super heavy denim for a standard example of this.

Where to source the oldest menswear possible
In all honesty, you will propably have to look at the antiquities market and auction houses. Prices will be what they are.

But that was not super drastic because I still like to incorporate tailoring now and then, mostly in winter.

Drastic changes in style - Topic of the day 4/29/25
I think I started out my fashion journey pretty Ivy-pilled which is a result of getting into it through :derek: and eventually realized that my heart was somewhere else, specifically at flared pants and pointy shoes.

Personally I like to do shirts, as the fabric is not as thick as with pants and jackets, and if you don't like it shirts are relatively easy to replace for me. Thin denim/chambray very easy imo.

I think doing outlines with chainstitch/backstitch is propably a good starter, as its not too complicated and looks good even with simple motivs.

Is there something like fake piercings that you can put in just to check how you would feel with your lip or nose pierced without having to commit to that immediately?

How to get into "preppy" fashion
basically the cheapest new suit that is not complete trash will be something north of 600€. For that money you can basically get all but the most high-end suits secondhand, with a genuinely good but not super fancy suit sitting at roughly 100€

How to get into "preppy" fashion
Also, even with measurements, likelyhood is that 50% won't fit right and the other 50% will need alterations. You should include having to re-sell the occasional bad-fit into your calculations. It will still be considerably cheaper to get suits secondhand than new

How to get into "preppy" fashion
but don't trust the tagged size, always insist on measurements and ideally ask them to send pictures of how they measured, bc some people are bad at measuring garments or do it wrong.
