    Your New Shoes are Flawed... Should You RETURN them?

    Excellent, very useful post; thank you.

    Shoe trees : are they really needed?

    I mean, I accept that many people on these forums are true aficionados and want to treat their clothing in a very particular way simply because they love them - the way you might want to keep your high performance car in an elegant garage - not that it makes it perform any differently. But...

    The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors

    Maybe try Laura and Melinda tailor shop on the Lower East; I last used them many years ago, but they seem to be under the same ownership.

    Shoe trees : are they really needed?

    Yes, I'd love to read a similar study comparing the practical/noticeable results after a year of hanging a tweed sportscoat on a proper curved-back wooden jacket hanger with bulbous ends vs. hanging an identical jacket on a relatively flat wooden hanger. I've always accepted the former is...

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    I get that. The interesting thing about the doctor I referenced originally (who as I said doesn't give the impression of being particularly stylish), is that because he always looks ever so slightly rumpled in his appearance, the lack of a belt seems to actually work to his advantage, sort of...

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    As a subtler and/or more comfortable alternative to a belt? Certainly subtler than braces, especially if you're not wearing a sportscoat.

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    Drawstrings are sort of inherently bothersome and unsightly. I have them on most if not all of my sweatpants and sleepshorts, but I only tolerate them, and barely so.

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    "Jogger fit" meaning elasticized waistband with drawstring? On dress slacks? Yikes! Wow, I'm really out of the loop! Good luck with your search!

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    Hm, I don't think adjusters would look odd on chinos at all. In fact, you're bringing up a vague memory of mine: I think I may have actually owned a pair of chinos with some sort of side adjusters (double D-ring loops, maybe?) years ago, possibly decades... wish I could remember exactly. I've...

    Where Can One Find Side-Tab Wool Slacks, OTR?

    My mother's 40-something cardiologist in the city (NYC) always wears side-tab slacks, which intrigues me no end because I *never* ever see them in stores, or on anyone else, and he doesn't otherwise present as someone who's particularly into clothes, or someone who would wear custom (though I'm...

    Comment by 'Quirk' in item 'To Boot New York Men's Sawyer Boot,Parma Doc Teak 432,9.5 M US'

    Wow, can't believe it's been 3 years since I bought these - still my favorite pair of shoes, and I would kill to find them in another color - I'd even take another pair in black... so hard to find a really nice zippered dress boot.

    Testoni BASIC quality

     Great deal -- wish I were a fan of double-monks. Interesting that even now they still have them identified as Basics, despite the clear evidence on the sole. Nice score!

    Testoni BASIC quality

    Thanks. Unfortunately, all the feedback I've read is in comparison to their premium line, and not all that specific. Hard to get an objective quality assessment, although thanks for the heads up on the leather on yours. Maybe I'll test another style from someplace that offers free returns...

    Testoni BASIC quality

    Soliciting opinions on these Testoni BASICS from those familiar with the workmanship of that line. Although I've seen a few scattered comments on old threads rejecting BASICS in general as inferior to the standard made-in-Italy Testonis, I'm wondering if these might not at least be a fairly...

    Magnanni Appreciation Thread

    Thanks for the info - came across these online and at $195, they seem like a good deal, from what I'm hearing about Magnanni quality. http://www.6pm.com/magnanni-gaspar-napa-brown?zlfid=192&ref=pd_sims_v_1 Never ordered from 6pm before though - any thoughts on them as an online retailer...

    Shopping for a boy's suit in NYC?

     Thanks, too, for the suggestion to look at the smaller end of men's sizes; my nephew isn't as big as yours, but maybe there are size 36's out there somewhere that will suit...

    Shopping for a boy's suit in NYC?

    Thanks. He does usually dress like the typical boy, but he also appreciates nice clothes when they're appropriate to the occasion, and has been known to swipe pocket silks from my bureau. :) Macy's and other department stores usually drive me mad the way they inconveniently segment designers...

    Shopping for a boy's suit in NYC?

    I suspect that BB suits aren't quite his style, and perhaps more than my budget, but I'll stop by and give them a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
