    BOO sperry boots

    I picked up the blacks -- after a week of wearing daily, the contrast-white details (stitching, sole) have gotten nicely sullied, but I should report that there is already some fabric pilling, for lack of a better word, around the toe box. "Ballistics nylon" ******! That said, based on the...

    (Old) Ask a Question, Get an Answer - please ask all quick questions here

    How do you feel about removing labels? I have a newly purchased American Eagle khaki trench coat which believe it or not is incredible for the price (<60 bucks). I'm tempted to remove the inside label which I find obnoxious and, I admit, a little embarrassing to my snobbish side. I could easily...

    (Old) Ask a Question, Get an Answer - please ask all quick questions here

    OK quick question on the various iterations of WAYWT here -- there is the pinned thread in 'streetwear', <http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=40802>, and there is the pinned thread in 'men's clothing', <http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=2619>. The latter thread, by this point...

    Band of Outsiders

    If you bought the right size in BoO, you probably shouldn't be tucking. The side will show and that just looks bad. If you want to tuck, try another brand. Well, that's one way to look at it -- I sort of assumed Sternberg was implicitly advocating higher-rise pants. Not like Spencer Tracy...

    Boot Tuck: Discuss.

    I think the boot tuck stands a better chance of working so long as you only ever approach people head-on -- the boot-tuck profile can look pretty ungainly! In general, especially now that the look is "on-trend," it can read the way it would if, I dunno, a guy had on a nice watch and tucked his...

    Band of Outsiders

    Exactly, I wear an XL in BoO and I have a 41" chest, I'm 6' 187lbs at 11% body fat. I'm far from a big guy and most people actually tell me to gain weight, but I guess in SF world I'm fat too then... I thought it was a universal fact that BoO sizing runs crazy small. I have three BoO oxfords...

    Band of Outsiders

    They're hardly as finished, and the colors aren't quite as lively, but American Apparel's button-down-collar oxfords (is that redundant?) are at least 1/3 of the price of BoO, and the fit is certainly slim. Both made in the US too!

    The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors

    Man, it's daunting to noobpost here, but after searching this thread, I believe I actually have something to offer of value! A friend of mine works at Vanity Fair, and tipped me off to the guys the VF fashion people use -- Abe's Tailor Shop, on 6th Ave at 38th Street (above a very good, very...
