    Hosting a Black Tie Evening at Home

    Originally posted this Men's Clothing, but realized too late that this is probably a more appropriate forum. Inspired by a few (relatively) recent threads on black tie, and as part of my efforts to further integrate black tie/evening wear into my lifestyle, I'm thinking of hosting a black tie...

    No More Lucy Adams Shirts

    Sounds like it's the end. Interesting that the problems have been on the supply, rather than the demand side. Any Forumites have had shirts from Lucy Adams? Any thoughts?

    Washington DC's Seersucker Ride/Social

    For those who live in DC - the Seersucker Ride/Social is coming up. I took part in the Tweed Ride last year and it was a lot of fun. This is as good an excuse as any to get a seersucker suit. Though I think riding up to Hillwood in seersucker - or any fabric, for that matter - in the summer...

    Fedex Customs Query

    I have a suit arriving from the UK and it is apparently being held at Newark by customs. I received a phone call this morning from a person from Fedex Trade Networks asking me to fill up a form and provide my social security number. She has just e-mailed the form to me. Is this normal? I'm...

    White Tie Poll Part I: Who Owns A White Tie Attire?

    During my Viennese waltz class, the instructor told me that I should consider getting my own white tie attire to dance in. I've never thought of ever getting one because I cannot foresee going to enough (if at all) "white tie required" type of events in my life. I am curious to see how many...

    Viennese Waltz

    I'm attending a Viennese ball in 5 weeks, and I don't know how to do the Viennese waltz. My plan is: 1) take private one-on-one lesson once a week (45 mins each lesson) for five weeks 2) supplement that with one practice session during the week (between 30-45 mins) every week. Is this plan...

    What would you pair these shoes with?

    I am intrigued by the colour, but cannot quite envision what I would be wearing these shoes with. The only thing that comes to mind is a pair of dark jeans. But I wonder if I can pull this off with a suit? Suggestions and other sprinklings of SF wisdom would be much appreciated.

    Weight Training and Competitive Rowing

    I'm planning to take up competitive rowing and since I have zero rowing experience, I will be starting a two-week learn-to-row program on Monday. The program runs 5 days a week from 6.00am until 7.30am (1.5 hours). (this will be followed by a 2 month intermediate competitive rowing instruction...

    Would James Bond Wear a Dinner Jacket with Vents?

    I went to see Edwin DeBoise of Steed today to commission a dinner jacket. I pretty much had a firm idea to go for a traditional one - SB, peak lapel, midnight blue barathea, grosgrain facings, no vents - when Edwin threw a spanner (or a wrench, depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on)...

    Tuxedo Shoes Advice: Which Pair Should I Get?

    I've been holding off buying patent leather shoes for a long time, but have decided to grow up and get a pair. I thought I should start small, and I found these on e-bay: Ralph Lauren pumps: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=390051836057 Ferragamo lace-ups...
