Recent Purchases (Classic menswear - formerly Men's clothing)
I know you were aiming this at cs09, but I'll chime in anyway as a big whiskey fan... Do you know what the person likes? Whiskey is a pretty broad category. Scotch (highland, speyside, islay, blends, etc), Rye, Bourbon, Irish, Canadian, blends.... There's a lot of variation in the...- dk_ace

Bruno Magli Maioco oxford
I have a pair in black that I paid $99 for. I have no problem getting them to shine, they're comfortable, they look nice and have a great shape, etc. I'm quite happy with them for what I paid. I felt the sole was going to wear too fast, so I added topys. I would have bought something else at the...- dk_ace

Summer Style in the deep south?
I'm spending the summer just outside of Baton Rouge and New Orleans and need some southern clothing. Are seersucker suits and white bucs really common? What do I need? Are seersucker and white shoes common? Absolutely not. If you want to wear them fine, but if you're doing it to fit in or just...- dk_ace

Anybody not particularly like black shoes
I have an equal number of each, but I find myself wearing the brown far more than the black. I wore a black pair today though just because I was getting tired of the brown and realized that some of the black ones were being neglected. On a similar note, I also bought a black pair yesterday. I...- dk_ace

Should I buy this watch for $40?
For $20 or so more you could get a self-winding mechanical Seiko 5 off of Amazon or Overstock. I haven't looked at gold colored ones to see what those run, but about the same depending on the model I figure. I would buy the mechanical one if I were you, but that's just my $.02. I'm about to...- dk_ace

To resole, or not to resole?
I'm interested in pic because I've never seen double sole Hugo Boss shoes. If I have time when I get home I'll snap a pic and post it. They are definately double soled. D- dk_ace

To resole, or not to resole?
Assume the resole costs $75 for leather soles. Would you have bought the shoes for $80? If yes: Resole and enjoy If No: Thrift another pair That's a good way of looking at it I suppose. No, I would not have spent $80 on them. I will almost certainly be able to thrift another pair of black...- dk_ace

To resole, or not to resole?
As I just recently had to basically replace my wardrobe and money is tight, I did a lot of thrifting. I've had a lot of luck with shoes, picking up three pairs of great shoes in my size that just needed a little attention (trees, conditioner, and polish). The most recent acquisition isn't a...- dk_ace

White dress shirts - ARROW
Well some decades ago arrow was considered good where I come from. The problem is that in this part of the world we don't have Ross, TJ Maxx, or Burlington Coat Factory shops. So only online shops would work for me. (I'll go check if they have websites). We only have Marks & Spencer and if you...- dk_ace

G&H Buckshot Brogue. Just myth?
I can't see myself ever wanting or wearing those. If you like the look, why don't you just DIY? It would be really easy to shoot each shoe with a round of buckshot. That would probably save you a lot of trouble and money if you can't find them easily. D- dk_ace

White dress shirts - ARROW
Go to a discount store like Ross, TJ Maxx, or Burlington Coat Factory. There, you'll find Arrow sometimes, but you'll also find much better stuff for the same money. I regularly see 100% cotton Polo, Calvin Klein, Nautica, and Kenneth Cole there. Some of those are better than others obviously...- dk_ace

Groomsman gift advice - leather wallets?
Just my $.02, but wallets are pretty personal as far as I'm concerned. I'm a bi-fold guy. I would never use a tri-fold. I know guys that are the exact opposite of that though and won't use a bi-fold. If you know which each prefers, wallets are great. Otherwise, I might do something else. I do...- dk_ace

How much do your surroundings affect your dress?
Another way is to simply dress very quietly - sober suits, ties, simple shirts, killer shoes - but all of top-notch fabrics and expertly tailored. The resulting composition and superior fit will make you stand apart over time like no bow tie could, but few people would ever be able to put their...- dk_ace

How much do your surroundings affect your dress?
I found this site as I had decided to start dressing better. A few google searches later, here I am. I've learned a great deal, and just in the few weeks I've been reading here my standard of dress has dramatically improved. As I'm starting to define my own style though, I'm struggling with how...- dk_ace
