    Bow Tie Question

    Forgive what may be a silly question from a black tie beginner. I was recently in the market for my first "self-tie" bow tie. I ended up buying this one from Eton (https://www.harryrosen.com/en/product/eton-grosgrain-silk-bow-tie-47278501). While it is indeed "self-tie", it's made from two...

    Howard Yount?

    Perhaps a silly question, but is Howard Yount still in business? I've read some of the posts about him being completely unresponsive, but the website still appears to be live... I only ask because I happen to really like their cotton OTC socks and was considering ordering several pairs. If...

    Best OTC Socks

    My favourite OTC socks used to be from Howard Yount - good quality, nice patterns and very good value. I also once found a treasure trove of Robert Talbott ones for $6 at a Nordstrom Rack. With those options exhausted, what are everyone's favourite brands/sources for OTC dress socks - both...

    Allen Edmonds - Dark Chilli

    Does anyone have any pictures of AE shoes in dark chilli 'in the wild'. I'm debating the Delray in that colour as an everyday walking shoe - largely to be worn to and from the office with a suit or trouser/jacket combination (I then change into dressier shoes). The AE brown is a bit too dull for...

    All, Does anyone have any experience with Doriani outerwear? I'm interested in a winter weight cashmere quilted jacket, and while the fabric is beautiful, I wanted to know if anyone had any thoughts on their outerwear pieces, in terms of quality of construction and durability. Any feedback...

    My Tailor Blue Blazer - Fabric Recs & Other Tips Needed

    Hi, I am considering commissioning my first sports jacket from MyTailor on their next visit to Toronto. I've got 20+ shirts from them I'm very happy with so far. I've got a local tailor who does a pretty good job on my suits/jackets currently, but the MyTailor price point is attractive enough...

    Borrelli LV Cap Toes (euro 8.5, U.S. 9 - 9.5)

    Bought these from Gilt, but they're too big and never got around to returning them in time. Light tan Borrelli Luxury Vintage cap-toe bluchers. Retail, according to Gilt, is $900. Price is $350 (or best reasonable offer) shipped in Canada or the U.S, which is less than what I paid originally...

    Custom 2nd Overcoat in Toronto - Advice Needed

    I've decided to commission a second "overcoat" and would appreciate some advice and inspiration. For background, I live in Toronto and wear suits/jackets to work every day. I currently have an 8-year old charcoal grey cashmere overcoat that is functional but boxy and not particularly stylish...

    Burgundy/Oxblood Shoe Suggestions?

    All, I'm looking to add to my shoe collection and I think a burgundy/oxblood oxford is next on my list (my current collection is listed below). My initial thought was C&J but unless I'm missing something, they don't seem to stock anything in that colour range. I would welcome any specific...

    Help with dark grey fabric for 2nd Chan suit

    Gents, I'm contemplating a second commission from Chan - a solid / semi-solid in dark grey or charcoal, since my first was a solid navy. I live in Toronto, and am looking for a 3 season suit, so all the fabrics here are 9-10 ounces. Patrick sent me a bunch of pics, if any of you have any...

    Help Bring Chan to Toronto

    For all the Canucks out there: Chan recently canceled its scheduled visit to Toronto in July. When I inquired as to the reason, they said they now had no plans to visit Toronto in the foreseeable future until they have received sufficient interest to make it worth a one-day stop. I just had a...

    Opinions on this RL jacket

    Guys, I am looking for a casual spring jacket. Nothing dressy or fussy, mostly to be worn with jeans, and occasionally chinos. I've already got a dressier safari-style jacket from Corneliani in tan (faux suede). What do you guys think of this from RL? I originally wanted something in navy, but...

    Any Sales in Las Vegas?

    Going to Vegas this weekend for the first time. Any shopping recommendations, in terms of can't miss stores or current sales? If it helps, I'll be staying at Caesar's, so will definitely be exploring the Forum Shops at some point. Thanks everyone.

    Shoe Shine in London

    I am going to be working in London for the next few months. Where can one get a decent shoe shine in the City? I work near Bank station. My google and forum searches did not yield a definitive answer on the subject. Many thanks everyone.

    Barber in London Recommendation

    I will be working in London for the next three months or so, and am in need of a good, reliable barber. Would like to keep it under or around 30GBP if possible. I work near London Bridge station, but anywhere easily accessible by tube is fine with me. Bonus points if they're open on Saturday, as...

    How often does RL.com restock?

    I've been looking to get a pretty basic pair of RL shorts (the prospect tissue chino) in a size 30, but they've been sold out in all the colours I'm interested in (navy, sand and white) for almost 2 months. I could understand if this was a one-off item, but would think they would restock basics...
