    If you had to do it all over again...

     That's probably a good idea. Socks, too. After underwear, I'd start with a medium/dark suit (lighter than charcoal, and perhaps with an interesting weave like herringbone), navy trousers, tan trousers (lighter fabric), light tan blazer, brown captoes (maybe a bit of broguing), plain captoe...

    Best Bang for Your Buck Dress Shoes?

    If you're happy with pretty traditional styles, Allen Edmonds is an obvious choice (as many have already stated). I personally wouldn't buy anything from them other than their most classic styles; I don't think most of their other shoes are very attractive. Personal opinion, of course... and...

    Haha I laughed out loud at that and now my coworkers are looking at me strangely.

    Equus Leather - English Handstitched Bridle Leather Belts - Official Affiliate and Review Thread

    Yeah, it's hard to get rich when you're making labor-intensive goods from quality materials and not overcharging; but I'd take a good trade over being rich any day. Thanks again for all the hard work, a Havana west end will be ordered as soon as I hit 180ish :)

    Wow... you get a lot in there! Thanks for the detailed description; now this really is hard to decide... I'll think about it for a while, thanks all for sharing.

    Equus Leather - English Handstitched Bridle Leather Belts - Official Affiliate and Review Thread

    Charlie, I've been reading through the entire equus thread, marveling at the beautiful leather goods that people have kindly posted pictures of. I currently am not in a position to buy one of your belts (I just lost 25 lbs and I'm planning on at least 15 more) but once my waistline stabilizes...

    briefcase recommendations for broke student

    Yes, it did seem to be more of a briefcase, thanks for the information. My only reservation is the rounded top corners; do they cut down on the internal space or is the case still big enough for a 15 inch laptop? Does it look strange in real life?

    Tips for making first garment?

    Your response is most appreciated, it is great to hear from someone who is experienced and who works in the trade. I have only had time currently to finish a few linen handkerchiefs, I've experimented with several different stitching styles to try to get better at hand sewing. Do you have a...

    briefcase recommendations for broke student

    Mangelo: I have a particular love of herringbone, that's one slick looking bag. You just made my decision a whole lot tougher... thanks :) Elliot: you're very right, it all depends on where you're working. I think a messenger bag would be perfect for a nurse, it's big enough to carry all the...

    I agree, depending on what business setting we're talking about (if I were working in a Berkeley food co-op it'd be fine, but definitely not for formal business). I'll check out some more jack spade, I know they're super popular and worth checking out. Thanks guys.

    briefcase recommendations for broke student

    I've heard a lot of good things about the timbuk2 bags but I've never really been interested in them because they're very much messenger-bag style... Nothing against that, I just prefer a briefcase to a messenger bag (it's more versatile and also tends to have a bit less of a flap, which I...

    Jt: why the knomo over the filson? I'm curious of your reasons. Colonial: thanks for the heads up, it's always good to have a lot of resources and I especially appreciate that this one is budget conscious :)

    Kcox: Thanks for the recommendation, that's a really nice bag, especially for that price. How's the quality? It's definitely a bit more grown-up than I'm thinking, but I'll keep it in mind when I need something a bit more serious. Thanks again for chipping in, it's much appreciated. Artem: I...
