    Good Shopping in Baltimore?

    Not really. Not sure anyone in the Baltimore area carries Alden. The only decent store in Baltimore is Samuel Parker, which is not in walking distance of the Inner Harbor. You can check out Victor Pascal, though many think he is overpriced. You might be better off catching the train and seeing...

    Big men's clothing thread

    For suits and shirts, you will have to go the made to order route to get anything that approaches decent fit. I use English-American tailors in Westminster, MD. There are numerous other sources that may be local to you. There are two online stores that may help: Rochester Westport For ties...

    Captoe derbys - OK with suits ?

    I personally do not see the point of a black blucher/derby. Awkward halfway point between formalities in my eyes. For those with high insteps, a blucher cut/derby may be the only option short of bespoke--it is for me. They are perfectly acceptable--especially in the states, where most people...

    Aaron Schock-Fashion Emergency

    This is not the campaign trail. I'm almost positive it's across the street from the Capitol South metrorail station on Capitol Hill. The locale doesn't excuse the outfit, of course. Right out in front of the Republican Club.

    A suit with Bermuda shorts in DC

    DC usually tends to be somewhat more conservative in dress standards. Shorts with a suits is a somewhat eclectic choice. However, there are some weirdos in every town.

    Some Pics of Saint Crispin's Shoes

    Gorgeous shoes. I thought they were based out of Austria, not Romania. Or did they just outsource the manufacturing there?

    Trench coats, Australia

    I wouldn't regard either of the coats as "trench coats," (far too short). I don't believe trench coat serves the same purpose as a wool coat. You wear wool to stay warm, trench coats to stay dry.

    J.W. Hulme Leather Duffle - Just Arrived

    Got the same bag in the canvas creme/light beige color w/leather trim. Held up very well through admittedly light use. Very voluminous.

    MTM Suits Washington DC

    If you are willing to travel about an hour north, you can visit English-American tailors in Westminster, MD. Discussed extensively on the boards. No relationship to me beyond satisfied customer.

    Seersucker and Bucks: Am I Doing This Right?

    I think you are okay. I would prefer a solid belt to match the shoes, but I can't stand a white belt. The bucks and the pants are great. Relish in the work you will need to do to keep those bucks white. I think you would do better with a lighter shade of blue -- carolina blue -- socks.

    Does it fit well?

    I have very high arch feet as well. Until my first order of bespoke shoes I couldn't wear oxford cut shoes. Try blutcher cut shoes or go bespoke. Those shoes may feel good, but that spread will not narrow by much as the leather stretches. Quite frankly, they look like they are a size or two (or...

    Patchwork Madras Sportcoats

    Love them--in the right environment.

    European Online Shops?

    Excellent timing. Most of the shop I know off on-line are English and hence not affected by the Euro (much).

    Where do YOU buy your ties?

    Normally from Sam Hober, though I admit to trolling through Ebay regularly looking for inexpensive 7-fold XL ties.

    Intense Question: Placket or No Placket? Or a Concealed Placket!?

    A more sensible question would have been do you prefer one of these placket styles. I don't know of a single women who gets excited over what placket style a man wears. If the women you know of get excited over simple things like that, perhaps you need to meet a better class of women. For the...

    Sock Color Matching

    For business clothes the preferred route is to match the trousers--but in a darker hue. For example, if wearing a mid-grey suit, charcoal socks would work. However, complementing or contrasting the color of the trousers is perfectly acceptable for less formal occasions. For example, the same...

    Cotton Suits

    What about MTM cotton/seersucker suits? My usual tailor wants about the same price for cotton suits as wool. I understand the labor is essentially the same, but the fabric must be substantial less expensive. Any of the Hong Kong visiting tailors do an inexpensive, yet MTM cotton suit?

    Tailored Shirtmaker in Southern US?

    Most custom shirt makers using quality shirtings are going to start in the $130 - $160 (USD) range (YMMV). If you are truly a college student, don't worry about custom shirts now--you still may grow in college. Wait till the summer before you become a senior to start looking to build a wardrobe...
