still looking for knits for f/w but not sure if this is too summery or not, might cop anyway because I want free delivery lol how many sweaters do you think are too many consider I wear suits 5/7 days? 3? 4? I also have this sweater my grandma gave me like 3 years ago but I think she got it from a golfing shop or something and I have no idea how to wear that :/ | ||

Hell i'd say 2-3. How many suits are in your rotation? Might be better to just get one of a warmer fabric, if it doesn't get too cold. Get an overcoat :p | ||

Sweaters have very long re-wear life before they need to be cleaned unless you dun fuck up eating. I'd say it's good to have 3 solid choices considering how often you wear suits. That way you have a little leeway when 1-2 are at the cleaners. I'm a sweater person usually only wear a tux on formal occasions so I have 6 in my wardrobe that I use frequently throughout fall/winter. They're great for casual wear too, unlike suits for the most part. | ||

I'll start looking more closely this weekend - any suggestions? Most shops only sell parkas and peacoats :/ | ||

a trenchcoat or a rain jacket? what price point are you looking at? I was suggesting something thicker :p. maybe a greatcoat is the right term, idk. but something longer but just as thick for the cold to put over suits so you don't have to stack a sweater underneath and sweat indoors. ah fuck now i want to look for knits. | ||

I remember looking at barbour and not seeing any actual trenches - they have nice coats and jackets but nothing I liked. what I want is a super minimalistic knee-length water-proof khaki coat - think mad men or sean connery as james bond or something | ||
