    White tie - how'd I do?

    You guys are always saying not to do white tie unless you can do it right. I'll go out on a limb and say that I'm pretty confident. Vintage sterling and MOP stud, vest button and cufflink set, shirt and collar from Darcy Clothing , vintage waistcoat, vintage coat and trousers. I took...

    Sourcing my frustratingly specific formalwear needs?

    I am getting married in October 2011, and I have more or less settled on what I'd like. This is something of a "budget" wedding, so I'm leaning towards small MTM houses or quality OTR; while I want this stuff to be inexpensive for myself and my groomsmen, I absolutely don't want it to...

    Yet another dumb salesperson thread

    Another thread just reminded me of an experience you gentlemen may appreciate. Some time ago, I wandered into the San Diego Bloomingdale's location, killing time while the better half did something or other. I don't remember how I was dressed, but it's unlikely that I wasn't wearing a tie - I...

    Pipes an affectation?

    I've noticed a lot of comments here, in the Sartorialist comments, and just sort of generally around the style/fashion world calling pipes an affectation, which I don't quite understand. Perhaps it's because I'm a tobacconist, but to me, a pipe is just another way to enjoy tobacco. I've never...

    Another Thick as Thieves review

    I ordered my TaT suit earlier this month, and was probably the last order Jason sent out before he went on vacation. It was one of the best buying experiences I have had; Most of my emails were literally answered within minutes, and he was very responsive and more than happy to answer all my...

    DIY alterations?

    Has anyone tried doing their own alterations at home, and is there any information, tips, techniques, available online online? I've looked all over the place, and I haven't found anything very informative. I've taken sleeves and hems up and down a bit, and even put darts in a dress shirt...

    Help me identify this custom suit

    So I have this suit. It doesn't have any tags of any kind, but it is clearly a very high-end custom suit of some sort. Fully canvassed, more pockets than would ever be on an OTR suit, working buttonholes, ticket pocket, peak lapels - generally a lot of features that, all in the same suit, scream...

    Did I ruin my shoes?

    I scored some halfway decent shoes (Mario Bruni) at a thrift store, and I was very happy with my find ($4!). Being thrift store shoes, they were a bit scuffed up, and required a little TLC. I hit them with some brown Kiwi, but it darkened them considerably. Perhaps I'm picky, but I find that...

    Highest safe temperature?

    A stay at a hotel has left me with the unenviable job of eliminating bedbugs (!) from my home. Part of this task involves laundering all of one's clothes - the heat from the dryer, or more relevant to this case, the dry-cleaning process, kills them as well as their eggs, etc. The problem I have...
