    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF MAY 18, 2015

    I can tell I'm going to start to need a tux for a few times a year, and I hate the idea of renting. What's the best value out there, especially considering how infrequently I'll be wearing it? I'd prefer spend under a few hundred bucks -- Combatant Gent has one for $200, but everything I've read...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Might be an odd question . . . Their extra slim fit OCBDs fit me perfectly, and I can't find anything of near the quality for what they cost (around $60 when you buy 3 on the Corp. sale). Do they have any patterned options, or are there other retailers that would be on par for the price?

    Right now I rotate bourbon strands, walnut strands, and bourbon mora 2.0s. I'd kind of like to add one or two more shoes into my rotation. I'm almost entirely business casual (chinos/pants and a blazer, no tie) -- any suggestions on another pair or two? Color options would be interesting to hear...

    Anyone know if/when the 2 for $250 seconds sale will occur next? The discussion on their change in pricing is hard to parse since it goes back pretty far, but I get the sense theirs some concern they'll stop doing these. I was thinking of getting some Graysons, but I'd hold off if I can get...

    I wear a navy blazer almost every day at work and am looking for a second versatile sport jacket to rotate. Would gray, herringbone, or charcoal be best? I wear mostly tan, khaki, and gray chinos; light blue or white OCBDs. Thanks!!!

    Hey Fellas, With the upcoming shoebank sale and an Amex rebate for $50 back after spending $200, I figure I should take the opportunity to get another pair of shoes. I work in a dressy business casual office (i.e. I usually wear chinos and a blazer or a suit with no tie most days). I already...

    In dire need of some help . . . I have strands in bourbon, and last night i spilled a few drops of olive oil on the toe. I panicked, as it looked like it would stain, read some home remedies online, and was told that a small amount of detergent should get the stain out. Not only is the stain...

    I actually think I've had a change of heart -- I just can't get too excited about longwings. I'm in love with my strands in bourbon, and considering the brooks brothers version is down to $150 right now, I think a walnut strand might be the way to go. Every other option is either way more...

    Great -- I have strands, which is the same lasts as the MacGregor. Any clue if they have a BB version that will be cheaper (or any wingtip version)? Sorry -- newbie in the AE game and can only figure out so much on my own.

    Should I get AE Player's Shoes or McGregors for the upcoming sale? Looks like Player Shoes will be like $20 cheaper. Doing walnut for both -- would like something business casual, potentially work with a suit but more for slacks/blazer looks. Any reason I should be considering one over the other...

    There's a sale on bass weejuns right now. Would be wearing them business casual at work (i.e. chinos and blazer) but would consider dressing them down too. Are they worth the money ($80ish), or am I better off spending a little extra on AEs or even LL Bean? Also, if weejuns are the right call...

    good tailor--Los Angeles

    Looks like Enzo Caruso takes quite a bit, but I happen to live in SaMo. Any recommendations for someone nearby who would be quicker for more straightforward alterations rather than something bespoke?

    Can anyone explain to me what justifies the difference in price between the Kenwood, Fairmont and Randolph Loafers and AE loafers? I'm looking for a pair of work shoes that can potentially fit with a suit but at least work with trousers/blazer as well as chinos...
