    Quality European Shoes

    All of those were very good suggestions, especially Carmina. Here's another good choice as an example. It's too expensive for me, but I like it.

    Help choosing between two Meermin shoes

    I want to get a pair of Meermin shoes because I have heard very good things. I'm not looking for a tuxedo shoe, but a high quality classic shoe I can wear with a modest suit and occasionally a sport coat. Very little use really. What is the difference between these two...

    History of Cuff Links in Photos

    What exactly happened with cuff links and associated french cuff shirts between the world wars? Who were they associated with? For what occasions were they worn and in what manner? The image that comes to mind is Hitler with his gaudy double breasted military jacket, and not much else than the...

    Quality European Shoes

    What do you mean, I expected you to read my mind. Here's a photo hosted elsewhere. It's a longer and more aggressive design than most of the Oxfords/Derbies/Bluchers out there. In fact, I can't find this early 20th century style new anywhere.

    Quality European Shoes

    Any other suggestions for where to find that style of shoe? I think this might be the wrong place to ask this question.

    Quality European Shoes

    These look pretty similar.

    Quality European Shoes

    Those look very nice, but they are not quite the style I am looking for. I would like something a little longer and thinner, like in the photos. I don't see anything like that with Meermin. I am looking to spend about $400.

    Quality European Shoes

    Hello Everyone, I have a pair of black dress shoes from Austria I got as a gift years ago. They are very comfortable and beautiful. I was wondering if I can get something of similar quality but more modern and possibly a little more stylish I can wear more often? My regular style is...

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF MAY 4, 2015

    It's for a sociological study. Perhaps a blue dress shirt and dark wool pants with a gray sport coat? How should I carry my papers? I don't think my bright red backpack would be appropriate. Thank you for the advice.

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF MAY 4, 2015

    I have an interview this week for a research position at the university, I was wondering what would be appropriate to wear? I'm meeting the graduate student in charge in a coffee shop, so it shouldn't be too formal. However, showing up in jeans and a t-shirt with a backpack probably doesn't...

    Opinions on Sport Coats

    I go to the University of Maryland though I'm home in Potomac, Maryland for the break. I really liked the HF but it was $1000 on clearance at Nordstrom. I asked the sales associate if he could go any lower, he said he couldn't so I couldn't take it. There is a NMLC near me, I'll head by...

    Opinions on Sport Coats

    I've been looking for a sport coat lately. It doesn't have to be fancy or expensive, but I'd like it to look nice and be of decent quality. I favor brown to match my shirts. I visited the local Nordstrom, Saks and Neiman Marcus. They had a few excellent choices (especially one by Hickey...

    New & Don't Know Where to Start

    So going back to the picture (or any ideal combination of clothes for me), I've identified the following as a casual look from perusing threads (ha) on here: 1) Sports coat (not a blazer because it doesn't have metal buttons). 2) Dress non-button-down shirt. 3) Understated silk tie. 4) (I...

    New & Don't Know Where to Start

    Hi All, I've been lurking for a few years, but only decided to join recently. Excellent forum. I've never really thought about dressing well because I don't know where to go. Now that I'm on my way to medical school and going to be interacting with professionals and so on, I should get some...
