    Steed Savile Row

    I have an MTM, Navy Blue 2-button Suit from them. It fits and wears very well. There's nothing at all about this suit that attracts attention. It just looks and feels good without being conspicuous.

    Any College Professors here?

    Yes, now, but worked in and around academia for many years in the US before I made the switch.

    Any College Professors here?

     OK. A suit every day will do you no good and be noticed. In the long-run (after you've made the investment in your clothes and your education), it will not matter. It is very easy to spot bright and productive students seeking a Ph.D., although the bright ones are not necessarily the...

    Any College Professors here?

    Don't overdress. Your peers will think you are putting form before substance. The senior faculty will think you are trying to compensate for a lack of productivity. In either case, if you are a whizz-kid (publish a lot and bring in a lot of money) you can do whatever you want (within certain...

    Redefining oneself at 40

    I worked on my "figure". I bought a Concept 2 rowing machine and have been a pretty dedicated rower, first losing weight, then for muscle development, now to keep things in place as I have a history of weight gain. Otherwise: on redefining oneself. Clothes are a part of it. The general theme i...

    What to wear for MBA interview?

    For these schools, I'd say what you wear will be irrelevant to their decision. Are you a number cruncher? Make the most of it. Debunk CapM theory.

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    I had an MTM blue suit made by Steed. It is fine, what you'd expect for $1100. It fits.

    need some new loafers, suggestions?

    The C&J Sydney has an elegant look. Loafer + Elegant = oxymoron, as in beautiful french woman.

    Can't make a tie dimple?

    This is the kind of thing only poor people, with time on their hands, and nothing else to do, worry about. Haven't you better things to do? Proper dressing is a proper habit, not a compulsion.

    Bank Dress Code

    No matter what you wear, if you don't know the answer to a question put to you, say, "I don't know; I'll find out." And then find out the answer, of course.

    If Juan-Carlos wears a suit, then by all means. Otherwise, emulate your colleagues.

    The King's Speech Film - a Critique

    I didn't like it all. I've seen almost all of the films that were nominated for the major awards (except True Grit and Toy Story). My favorites were: Winter's Bone and Biutiful (i know it wasn't nominated, but Bardim was). 127 Hours came in third for me.
