Brass buttons for Blazer - or not?
The whole look is too collegiate or country club, and is too often the default look for guys that don't know how to dress or what to wear. When I see someone wearing one I can't help but think "nice buttons Admiral." Exactly what I was thinking. It's too fraternity/ college preppy or yacht club...- maf

Hair products you use
I use mop pomade: +1 1/2 My favorite: strong, not too shiny and nice neutral smell. Comparable Aveda products are overpowering in the scent dept. I've used the Am. Crew Fiber and one other AC product and went back to the MOP.- maf

Business trip to New Orleans - food and fun suggestions wanted!
If you're already in the FQ, I'd recommend planning a dinner at Stella and/or Bayona depending on your budget. If you like architecture, you're in a good place and can have many happy hours wandering the quarter. For cool bars & music, check out Fauborg Marigny, the neighborhood just on the...- maf

Cross Fit?
I'd definitely give it a shot if you want to do the functional strength route. There isn't one near me, but it's very similar to what I've done for martial arts training. I use the workouts on their site and their exercise demos are good for motivation & pointers. If you want to do...- maf

Tight fit for man
I suspect you'd lose all feeling in your ******** after wearing those for 10 minutes. That + the lack of blood circulation below the waist would save you from any embarrassing wood.- maf

Power Bowtie
Does the bowtie provide Churchill with gravitas, or does Churchill provide the bowtie with gravitas? I'd suggest it's the latter. Exactly.- maf

Consensus on Belts
I've got a Banana Republic belt that's 10 years old. It was worn pretty much daily for that time and is still very wearable. It's nothing fancy, just their basic strap with a nickel/pewter-ish colored buckle. I've even worn it with tools or a holster in cases where I forgot to change into an...- maf

How Expensive are the Tops You Wear?
SS Tees: $20 (AA etc) LS Tees & similar: $80 - 100 Sweaters: $100-500 ish (if retail is less than $100 I'd assume quality is lacking and take a very hard look) Shirts: $100-200- maf

Sleeve length frustration
When you say 'tip of the thumb', I assume that t mean the nail-end of the thumb. Surely that can't be correct. 4" from the end of my thumb is still more than an inch below my my wrist bone. I've had tailors try to tell me exactly this, which is way too long. When I insisted I wanted it shorter...- maf

Importance of Free Returns
I feel like paid return shipping is lagniappe, and I also know the cost has to be covered somehow by the merchant. I'd rather pay for it if I use it and get the best possible price otherwise. Restocking fees, unless they're only for returns after a reasonable try-on period irritate me. I guess...- maf

Marco Valentino Suits? Any thoughts/experience?
I have a Marco Valentino that's in for alterations at the moment. I ended up getting a 40R, which is consistent with sizing in canali, corneliani & zegna. My actual chest measurements are 41 3/4" normal, 42 5/8" deep inhale, 40 7/8" full exhale. Shoulder circumference is 46...- maf

This suit/shirt/tie combo for cruise formal night?
I agree, no need for black tie unless it's a really fancy cruise. I'd also change the tie for something with a pattern or tone down the color a bit, but if you really like it stick with it.- maf

Does Anyone Know a Good Tailor in New Orleans?
Sounds like good advice. I wasn't sure if Perlis had their own in-house, like Rubensteins. Anyhow, I'll check around and post here if I find anyone worth mentioning. Thanks for the response.- maf

Shoes for fat feet?
My feet are really wide across the ball, but narrow in the heel. Not sure if this is the same as yours, but here's what happens with me. Usually D's or a regular width fit great in the heel and too narrow across the ball. E, EE or whatever they are calling a wider width is very sloppy in the...- maf
