    Allen Edmonds Bayfield Boots Metal Grommets Keep Falling Out. (Update 6/8)

    You think they would have noticed that all their bayfield boots are falling apart and made a manufacturing change to fix the issue.

    Making my own pants: A pictorial

    First off nice work. Yes - the first step is to get frustrated with the fit of everything you buy in the store. The second step is to be a cheap bastard who doesn't want to pay for alterations on every piece of clothing you buy. The next step is to start doing some research and to buy a used...

    Southwick MTM @ Costco

    Hah, I have some of those socks, pretty nice but they seem to fuzz/shed fibers in the heel and toe quite a bit making me think they won't last long. But very cheap.

    Inexpensive polka dot knit ties

    Metlin, Thank you for thinking of us - but we do not have any knits at all. Officeboy, Thank you for your kind words, while we do not currently work with knits, if we did we would be happy to make knits with triangle tips. Grenadine isn't a knit?

    Southwick MTM @ Costco

    Inexpensive polka dot knit ties

    I believe David Hober carries a few, as well -- http://www.samhober.com/ It's probably double your budget (~$85), but well worth it. I really like Hober's ties and their whole "thing" but sewn knit ties with a triangle tip just seem weird.

    Girlfriend With A Sewing Machine

    go for it man. you are lucky having a coach, be nice to her. it just takes patience and lots of time. be prepared to rip stitches and resew again and again, like i said patience. ^^this... On the first few pants/shirts I've done I probably ripped 3x as many stitches as I kept. So be careful. I...

    Girlfriend With A Sewing Machine

    I'm not nearly as pessimistic as CYstyle. This may be in part because I like to have a hands on approach to almost everything I do. I have tapered and altered pants and that is a slippery slope. Casual pants like chino's are pretty easy, anything more dressy I take to a tailor. Tapering or...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Are sleeve sizes for jackets and shirts measured the same way? For example, when I buy shirts from brooks brothers i buy 16.5/33 (neck/sleeve i assume). Would that mean that I would be wanting a suit jacket that had 32.5 or so sleeves? I feel confused because I see lots of jackets for sale on...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    I lost some weight over the past year and my off the rack dress shirts are pretty baggy now. It is worth getting them tailored, or should I just go bespoke? Which would need to be done piecemeal, as my clothing budget is limited. Limited budget = Alterations/Tailoring, as long as the neck is...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    What's the SF consensus on wearing a tie with a button down dress shirt, oxford cotton or otherwise? More specifically, in The U.S., Spain and Italy. I already know the answer for the U.K. OK with a sportscoat. Otherwise to fast food manager imo.

    Finding Archer's "Tactleneck"

    A guy who wears silk socks with combat boots, and where Turnbull & Asser is the dress shirt of choice will not be wearing a cheap cotton turtleneck. Not black but this screams Tactle Turtleneck. Ralph Lauren Black Label Leather-Trim Turtleneck Look for something wool/cashmere or with silk.

    Why don't cheap shoes have sleeker looking lasts?

    exactly... the cheap = not sleek correlation is really an american phenom. the same used to hold true for shirts (cheap = american square tent cut) but the influx of european fast fashion (zara, H&M, uniqlo) is changing that. you can now even get american-made shirts that are slim. americans in...

    Zegna Reversible Belt HALP

    Well the only reversible belt I've had like that it was also a to open, but it did. (I think I ripped a nail too). Bad thing was I could never get it tight enough again and subsequently the belt would come apart at that point. But it was a cheap emergency belt I had to pickup while out of town.
