    Fixing an expensive suit's worn out suit pants

    I have an Isaia suit that fits perfectly. It's a few years old. The pants have started to fray a little at the pocket seams, and there is a noticable hole by the crotch area. What are my options to fix the pants? The jacket shows no wear, and it would be a shame to get rid of a really nice...

    Looking for a solid navy suit in a 42R

    I just bought a solid navy Hickey Freeman suit, that I like, but don't love. It's a single vented suit, and I'd prefer side vents. Any recommendations for a comparable suit, and where to get one? I'm looking to spend a max of $600 (so discount sites seem to be the most likely option).

    Solid Navy Suit in NYC

    Well, I've been the victim of my dry cleaners losing my navy suit pants. It was a Hickey Freeman, side vent, with pick stitching. I'm currently in the market for a comparable solid navy suit. Any good deals, or recs on where to find one in NYC? I'd like to stay under $700.

    Morning gym goers

    Morning gym goers I figured this would be a good place to ask this question for the clothing obsessed. I'd like to go to the gym in the morning, but I'm looking for advice on what to use to transport my suit on my 10 minute walk to the gym. Do those of you that go to the gym in the morning...

    Color for my bedroom

    I'm moving into a new apartment in NYC shortly. I'd like to paint the walls. I like light gold and colors in that family (khaki, tan, etc). What color do you guys recommend? I'd be willing to switch my duvet as well. The only problem I can think of is a grey duvet would most likely clash with...

    Best Mid-Priced Shirts

    I'm aware of the MTM (Jantzen, Mytailor) options for shirts, but I was curious what everyone recommends for dress shirts under $100. I have a few Charles Tyrwhitt shirts that I purchased for 50% off, but the collars and sleeves have shrunk a significant amount.

    Diesel Kratt

    I have a pair of Diesel Kratt Art. 768. These are a lot more tapered than the Kratt's I see all over the place. Does anyone know anything about this wash? Do they still make it?

    Oxxford on E-Bay

    Creases on new shoes

    I just picked up a new pair of Peal's shoes from BB. I always seem to get a crease around the point where my toe branches off from my foot. Is this normal on all shoes? I hate the way it looks.

    Possible suit deal

    While browsing e-bay I noticed this auction: Oxxford suit. Looks to be a beautiful suit. The size tagged is a 40R, but the measurements look like they correspond to a 42R (which I wear). What are some of your experiences with Oxxford's fit?

    First Pair of Brown Shoes

    I'm looking to buy my first pair of brown shoes to add to my wardrobe. I've been looking at AE, Alden, Peal, and C&J. The AE look a little too clunky for my taste. Does anyone have any recommendations for a nice, classic, conservative and somewhat stylish shoe that would be in the 300$ price...

    Understanding Filene's Basement Discount Schemes

    I've been frequenting FB the last month or so to look for a nice suit. A few weeks ago I was able to snag a nice HF Hand Tailored for $450 during one of their suit sales. I've had my eyes on a bunch of Corneliani suits, but the price of $600 at a discount isn't cheap enough for me to buy. This...

    New Suit Thoughts

    After stalking this forum for the last 2 months, I think I gained enough knowledge to make quite a few quality suit purchases to round out my immediate needs. This is my newest acquisition. Â It's a Corneliani 3 button suit with side vents. Â It is made with super 150's wool. I'm not sure if...

    Bag for Work

    What type of bags or briefcases do you fellas bring to work? As stated in another post, I just started a job on Wall Street, and I've been saving up money to buy a nice bag. Unfortunately I've been using a messenger bag. I not only hate the look, but that it also pulls on my suit coat. Any...

    AE or Alden shoe types

    As I stated in a prior post I work in Finance, so my business dress is rather conservative. I was hoping some of you can recommend specific AE or Alden shoe models that you like.

    Wardrobe Spreadsheet

    While browsing the forums yesterday, I recall a few forum members stating that they have a spreadsheet that tracks how many times they wear certain items, inventory of their wardrobe, etc. I can't seem to find the thread while searching. Can someone provide me with their spreadsheet, or direct...
