Which jeans fit this description?
Somehow I think the prices of these jeans will make this guy blink. I did ask for both something you would not mind digging a ditch in and something that matches the specs I mentioned but price not a worry. Big thanks to Cali for the cultizm.com tip off. I saw a couple of items that looked...- Lino

Which jeans fit this description?
Between the time I was in 5th grade and until I was out of college, I wore jeans and only jeans day to day. To give some perspective, I graduated college in 1991. Back in elementary school I was a Wranglers kid, but at some point in Jr. High I switch to Levis. Back the oprions for me were...- Lino

Raines TV Show
I commented on this show and Jeff Goldblums outfits on AAAC. I too was impressed at first blush. In the one episode I saw parts of, I noted in two different odd jackets, in the first instance he had both buttons on a two-button jacket buttoned (we rewinded the DVR to double check), in the second...- Lino

Corneliani MTM + Corneliani MTM vs. Ercole
To be fair, Frank showed me the shoulder pads he used and they are very thin. When I said that the shoulder was still a little strong, I meant that in comparison to the sweater-like shoulder I was hoping for. And it may well be the case that what he gave me on this suit will look better than...- Lino

Corneliani MTM + Corneliani MTM vs. Ercole
-1 on the lack of handwork after you asked for it (lack of handwork is one thing, just not following a request without telling you they could/would not is not too cool). -1 on the padding. possible -1 on house style. I read in one post someone said they thought they read Ercole had a S...- Lino

Corneliani MTM + Corneliani MTM vs. Ercole
Ercole is bespoke and from what I've heard they're something of a value. They would have a much higher pricepoint if they were renting space in Manhattan rather than owning their shop in Brooklyn Have you used Ercole? If so, what would you say their house cut is?- Lino

Corneliani MTM + Corneliani MTM vs. Ercole
Corneliani MTM been mentioned in the past (including in comparisons with RLBL MTM), has anyone actually taken the plunge? Also, rather than comparing Corneliani MTM to RLBL MTM, I would be interested in a comparison of Corneliani MTM to Ercole in Brooklyn. Based on previous threads and...- Lino

NYC suit hunting: bring the lady?
NEVER let a woman pick out your ties Even if you have trained her eye to only pick out things you like, to always bring home a gift receipt, and understand and accept that you may actually use the gift receipt or even ask her to deal with the return? My wife is OK with the latter part, so we...- Lino

Suits and Boots
I liked them until I saw the elastic part. Something about the shape and the length of it - kind of ruins the entire boot. It's not bad, it's just that I'd prefer one or the other, and not the hybrid. I agree, I have the same feeling about them. They would be much better sans elastic"”to me the...- Lino

Suits and Boots
I have become quite a fan of boots with suits, generally in winter, but also in any wet/slushy weather whatever the season. To be clear, though, I don't wear chelseas but lace-up dress boots. When the trouser legs are down, they are pretty much impossible to tell from dress shoes. How about...- Lino

NYC suit hunting: bring the lady?
If the salesman did to me what he did to you in 1., above, I would gently remind him who is buying the suit. I would be very offended if this happened to me. There was a thread about this last year at some point, by the way. My wife has good taste so I shop with her. But I certainly do not rely...- Lino

Conservative Business Dress
Ditto I finally dragged the blessed thing out (14th edition; 1993). It lists the following entries for apostrophes used for plurals: 6.77: "It is simpler to form the plural of an italicized word than of a word enclosed in quotation marks, but if the latter seems required or preferable, the...- Lino

Conservative Business Dress
You are mistaken. For instance, the apostophe s is how one pluralizes letters of the alphabet (you received four F's in English grammar; perhaps you should mind your p's and q's). Incorrect. Consult your Chicago Manual of Style.- Lino

Conservative Business Dress
That's how we form plurals of symbols and abbreviations/initialisms, like VP's. Sheesh. Me thinks the Chicago Manual of Style would disagree. It is DVDs, not DVD's.- Lino

Damn Brioni Ties
Apart from this rant,how comes that Brioni or Kiton ties are travelling to Lebanon in huge lots? An italian might buy them straight from the works, which doesn't necessarily lead to lower prices as an artisan doesn't generally have scale savings, but a lebanese??? Just playing devils advocate...- Lino
