    Lifting and mens grooming products

    How do other people here with some of the problems that come with lifting? For example, calluses–I started using Malin + Goetz B5 hand treatment, but it appears the small calluses are there to stay. And for guys who go to the gym in the morning before work, if you shower at the gym, do you...

    Official Events and PSA thread

    Just got an email from my Neiman Marcus SA about a special deal where you get a suitcase (looks a like a rimowa, but I doubt it's actually Rimowa brand) if you spend $500. Looks like you have to go through a menswear SA in a M&B to get it, but kind of cool.

    Navy Blazer with Side Vents

    You might consider MTM from somewhere like indochino, though they're not very well regarded on SF, they might be better at accommodating the size you're looking for. Alternatively, you might consider Brooks Brothers Boys size 18, which looks like it's pretty close to being a size 34 jacket.

    Removing a grease spot

    Sorry to revive an old thread but this was a god send. Big thanks to @Despos for posting this. I spilled olive oil all over the pants of a new (had gotten it back from the tailor the day before–first time it had ever been worn) Brioni suit and immediately panicked. Somehow I found this thread...

    Experience with Inexpensive full canvas suits

    Could anyone weigh in on some of the differences between some of the better known 'affordable' full canvas suit makers, especially the SF affiliates like Howard Yount, Kent Wang, and eHaberdasher's Benjamin. Does anyone own one or more of these and can compare them against each other, or to...

    Best suits under $1500?

    Also, 2nd on @Seamless 's view that J. Crew isn't such a great option. The lapels are ridiculously slim and construction is only so-so, though definitely better than what you'd find in most low-end department stores (Macy's, Lord and Taylor, etc).

    Best suits under $1500?

    Seems like this perennial subject never gets answered, perhaps because "best" is subjective. If OP is looking for good value suits (high quality to price ratio) @Stilig 's suggestions are a good place to start. I would add to it Kent Wang and eHaberdasher's Benjamin line. SuitSupply also has...

    Gi Capri Napoli ?

    Thanks, @Stilig . That's really helpful. I knew Incotex was a trouser brand--in fact, when my SA said the sports coats were by Incotex, I said, "like the pants?" He seemed pretty convinced, so I'm not sure where he got that information. I did a little more research going off of what you said...

    Gi Capri Napoli ?

    Does anyone have any intel on this brand? My SA at Neimans said it was made by incotex, but I haven't seen it much elsewhere. I picked up two sports coats (deeply) on sale at NM; they're soft construction with some nice details. One of them is a really great fresco weave that's been good for the...

    White Dress Shirts

    Sorry to resurrect an older thread here, but I was wondering if anyone had some experience comparing a few of the more affordable/'high value' makers mentioned here, specifically Ledbury, Kamakura, Kent Wang, and Benjamin from eHaberdasher. Would someone care to weigh in on how these compare...

    Dress in Academia

    At my school, pajamas to class were exceedingly rare (I think I only saw it once--during finals). There was a surprisingly consistent uniform: guys wore OCBD's and chinos, girls wore leggings and a blouse or sweater. Not a lot of jeans, as I recall. Nearly everyone had a barbour for when the...

    Watches for around ~$500?

    Also consider Frederique Constant.

    Which kind of shirt is this one?

    It looks like thick oxford cloth to me, maybe 80's 2-ply.

    How to dress in college??

    I can't speak to the culture at NYU (though the times I visited it was little hipster...) but I know at my school it would be very odd to see someone wear a tie to class. That said, I think kids at my school tend to dress better than the average college student. For reference, the average guy...

    Really not trying to be mean here, but you wore that in public?
