    Are sharkskin suits popular again?

    In the past, I've always associated sharkskin suits with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. However, lately I've noticed quite a few modern celebrities wearing sharkskin suits. Some look way too shiny/flashy, while others have a very slight sheen that look decent. Is it just my imagination, or is...

    Plantar warts from trying on flip flops in a store while barefoot?

    Is it possible to get warts this way? If so, is there anyway around it? I just thought of this today while watching people try on flip flops while barefoot at DSW. I also saw someone trying on regular shoes barefoot.....which I thought was crossing some sort of shoe-shopping etiquette line...

    Safe to dry clean a wool overcoat?

    I have had my black wool overcoat for 3 years now and have never dry cleaned it. I generally try to stay away from dry cleaners, partly because they can be expensive but mostly because I'm always afraid they will ruin my clothes. Not too long ago, while wearing my wool overcoat during one of my...

    Suit smells like plastic from garment bag?

    So I just bought a suit from a Ralph Lauren store and they put it in one of their thick garment bags for me to take home. I left it in the garment bag overnight in my car because I planned to take it to my tailor the next day. I know leaving a suit in a garment bag is bad because a suit should...

    Caught wearing suit in thunderstorm, lapel is wrinkled! Help!

    I've been rained on before while wearing a suit............but never this bad. When I got home, I was drenched in water. I hung up the suit, which dripped for hours. Now it's dry, but it appears the upper portion of the lapel and collar are wrinkled. Steaming does not get the wrinkles out. What...

    "Safest" champagne of these 3 NV?

    Veuve Clicquot YL Louis Roederer Brut Premier Taittinger Prelude I'm going to a dinner party and would like to purchase a mid-priced bottle of brut champagne that most people will like and that will go with most foods. It can't be too extreme; it has to have wide appeal. I don't know what food...

    Belt width to wear with jeans?

    How wide should a belt be to be wearable with jeans? 1 1/4"? 1 1/2"? I would think 1" would be too small (like a dress belt?).

    V-neck undershirt with big gorge?

    I like to wear sport shirts with the two top buttons unbuttoned. Under my sport shirts, I usually wear v-neck undershirts (because I like the feel, to prevent deodorant stains, etc.). My problem is that with some of my sport shirts, when I unbutton the top two buttons, a little (or sometimes a...

    What's the point in closing jacket vents with thread?

    Just to prove that the jacket was never worn? It doesn't aid in tailoring at all? I've just begun purchasing suits and sport coats and have noticed many jackets have their vents sewn shut. I can cut it myself, right? I don't need a tailor to do it?

    Pre-shrunk undershirts?

    Hello all, Throughout my life, I have worn Hanes crew and v-neck undershirts. Some have actually claimed to be "pre-shrunk," but all of them have shrunk in the drier! Is there a good affordable brand that makes real pre-shrunk comfortable undershirts?

    Removing deodorant/anti-perspirant underam stains?

    I have a few dress and sport shirts that have white residue stains, even though I always wear an undershirt (I sweat a lot!). I've seen a lot of different methods online, has anyone tried any of them? What would you recommend? I know I wouldn't have this problem if I used a "natural"...

    Sport shirt fit question

    Hello all, I'm used to wearing dress shirts and suits. I wear a 40 L and shirts with a 15.5 neck and 35" sleeve. I have a 31" waist. These sizes are what I am comfortable wearing. When it comes to sport shirts, sizes generally go small to extra large. Should I be going for medium or large...

    100% cotton sport shirt = "Dry Clean Only" question

    I have a 100% cotton sport shirt (made by Theory, if that makes any difference). The care instructions say "Dry clean only." Do I really have to dry clean the shirt? Is there a way to safely hand wash it? Can I put it in the washer on a gentle cycle with cold water (and not put it in the dryer...

    Can I change a sport coat into a blazer by changing the buttons?

    After doing some research, it seems that the only significant difference between a blazer and a sport coat is that a blazer has metal/brass buttons and a sport coat does not. So can I change one into the other by simply changing the buttons?

    RULE: Pleated pants = cuffs, flat front = no cuffs

    I found this rule on STP: Hems - The general rule here is that pleated pants should have cuffed hems and flat front pants should not. The hem should break slightly on the top of the foot and be slightly longer in back. I know most fashion rules can have exceptions and can be broken, but is...

    Is it fashionably wrong to wear jeans with a sport coat?

    I've been told a sport coat should only be worn with dress pants. I've also heard that a blazer (the coat with the brass buttons) is more versatile and can be worn with jeans/khakis/dress pants/etc. I kind of like the look of sport coat + jeans......do I like something taboo or is this acceptable?
