I'm contemplating between two alternatives. What do you think, which one would be better option for city (classic two/tree piece suit, navy, charcoal, dove gray and pinstripes)?

Fairbanks is also option, but that would most definitely be brown one.

If you're looking to try a WW2 era repro chino and don't want to pay for Buzz Rickson/Barnstormer/Real Mccoys/Orslow, check out Bronson and Timecatcher. These chinos punch well above their weight when it comes to quality for the price.
I just wanted to share a recent pick up. These are the Mitchell & Ness relaunch of the Hood Rubber Company. Original brand was founded in 1896 and these are a repro of their mid 1960’s model. Originally a high top basketball shoe.
These are the vintage natural color (Cream).
I found these BRAND NEW on Poshmark for 20 bucks so I had to grab them.
Pretty familiar feeling to over canvas shoes like vans or chucks but I think the toe box feels slightly wider and the sole feels a little more comfortable to me.
Pretty TTS, maybe a slight touch bigger but they feel good. I don’t know how long these will last but I like the aesthetic.
Take care!

Found this at a vtg store. My size but has sleeve stain . It’s lambswool. Cupro lining . Cuffs non functional.
Another eBay purchase through a rock solid seller (note to mods, I can remove this if its against the rules): lovejoylife who seem to be an importer of various Chinese brands like Bronson/Non Stock and Red Tornado with a mix of some stuff coming from China while other items in their US based warehouse.
I was astonished by the sheer weight of this shirt as I'm used to the general market "heavyweight" shirts that just feel like the weight a standard shirt was at like 20 years ago. Probably got a size too big, but we'll see how it shrinks up in the wash.
It almost feels as weighty as a flannel, absolutely wild to me.
They had a sale on this one and got it under $19 (price doesn't include shipping and import charge and taxes since my state charges for that too even for online purchases).
Going to take Bronson/Non Stock serious for heavyweight shirts from now on.

What can you do with teenagers!!!
Looking for recommendations for a traditional style oil slicker water proof jacket. Similar to the style in the photo.
They always remind me of old timey fishermen, even though it's not exactly heritage style.
They were originally made from old ship sails and soaked in linseed oil to make them waterproof.
I don’t know if this is considered heritage wear but my local Walmart has these Lee short sleeve heavy cotton shirts for sale at $4.00. They have a few different colors and it feels like a decent piece to add to the closet especially at that price. Walmarts app still has it for ~$18 so maybe only in-store kinda thing.
