    Flat front wool dress pants

    Agreed. I think you have to decide what you value more, quality or wearability. They shouldn't be mutually exclusive, but I don't have enough really nice pants to wear them every day, and sometimes I just want pants I can throw on and not worry about if I spill my coffee. In that respect BR has...

    Great gatsby

    esquire, You've encouraged me to go back and re-read that passage when I get home tonight; and maybe the whole thing. Until then, I can't offer much insight into what she's crying about, though you can be sure it's not simply the considerable beauty and volume of Gatsby's shirt collection. I...

    Shoes on ebay

    I don't normally see too many nice (not too too nice, e.g. EG) mid-size shoes on ebay (I'm an 11d), but there's a few out there right now. Seller Grapevinehill has a lot of Polo italian-made shoes, and there's a couple of others. None fit my needs, so i figured I'd post 'em up. Gucci...

    Polo fearson shoe

    Wow, someone really overpaid for that shoe, that's unbelievable. The question is, how could there be two people willing to spend $300+ on that? Someone had to be outbidding this guy. HRHAndrew got Edward Greens from Grapevinehill for significantly less $$. Pardon my vocal gawking, I don't...

    J crew sale

    Tom, www.jpressonline.com They're a little pricey for stuff I can get for cheaper at Brooks Bros., but their pedigree is more consistent, if that's important. I think their 1984, 1994, and 2004 collections are probably all quite similar. Looks Like they're having a sale, too. "Madras ties...

    Dior homme fans...

    LabelKing, I see you're living up to your username. If someone (elsewhere) said they'd like to match a heavily accessorized black leather jacket with purple pants, black shoes, a white shirt, black vest, skull tie, and cap, I'd tell them to enjoy their Alice Cooper concert. I hear Molly Hatchet...

    J crew sale

    I know folks round here decry (validly) J Crew's quality, and they've been REALLY beholden to the preppy trend, pretty much forever. But for those of us on a strict budget but with stylistic aspirations they have some nice stuff. If you check out their website soon, they should still have some...

    Dior homme fans...

    If I could pull that off, I might like it, but since it's totally not my style, I will say it would look good with "DICEMAN" bedazzled on the back. Oh. <puff cigarette>

    Rlpl/eg size 11 on ebay

    Andrew, I see you won the auction for these loafers. Congrats. Seems like you got a pretty good price, they look beautiful. You'll have to post some pics when you get them. If they'd have been oxfords, I would've tried to beat you, but I have too many slip-on shoes already.

    Armani and "de-lovely"

    The Post had a quick interesting article on Georgio Armani's costume design for the new film about Cole Porter. I was considering seeing it anyway, though what has Kevin Kline done lately? "My Life as a House"?

    Broosk brothers 7-fold ties

    Brooks Bros. Online has a selection of Golden Fleece shirts on sale, which I figure is not common. I think they're 80-100 USD. Sizing is limited, but if I hadn't been so irresponsible lately   I might pick one up just to try... Sorry to hijack the thread, I know nothing about the ties...

    Is this picture of the c&j grosvenor?

    Just from looking, the toe on the C&J pic is more squared or chiseled. But that's just my cursory glance...

    Square-toed shoes

    Now, I'm not that experienced in the ways of the world, and I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to clothing trends before 1999 or so (when I got to college, had a dress code in h.s.), but I think that's about when I saw a lot of guys begin wearing square toe black shoes, and most seemed to...

    My last purchase

    Don't call it a comeback, ernest's been here for years. Ha. Â A good laugh at the end of the day. Priceless. Also, I always liked the jersey girl spandex pants, long tshirt, huge belt with gold buckle over tshirt look, it's good to see ernest incorporating it into his own personal style. Well...

    Nba draftee style

    From the Ellen McGarrity article: Anyone see any horizontal stripes on the suit? Marc37 could write a better article: &quot;Devin Harris looked dapper, but could benefit from a coffee enema and listening to Napalm Death.&quot; I hope she's an intern.

    18th street, dc

    alaaro, Thanks for the opinion; I would definitely like to check out other places around there and around DC that have similar music and a little class. Since I live just a little too far out of the city to casually explore, could you (or anyone else) give me a couple leads? Best regards

    Discoloured collars

    Sorry about my misguided advice, it didn't occur to me that it was a lightening of the color, not what I interpreted as yellowing. I can't imagine what could cause that, as long as you don't outsource your laundry. And it certainly doesn't look fixable with further washing. I certainly hope...

    How much do you spend on clothes per year?

    I was just thinking of the purchases I've made this (calendar) year, and projecting those costs over the rest of the year, and... Let's see, carry the one... Jesus. What the hell am I thinking?. It really adds up. I miss college, when one suit and a handful of ties/shirts augmented a glorious...

    Brooks brothers slim-fit polo’s

    This is the main reason I return to Polo. I had a few Lacostes from a few years back that were waaaay too big, but since they seem to have changed their sizing the new ones fit better. The RL polos may not be made of the same-grade cotton, but neither is made in France or the US anymore, so for...

    Tyrwhitt cashmere

    Not to hijack the thread for Land's End, but Quill, had you mentioned before that you had tried Land's End's &quot;Custom&quot; stuff? What's it like, quality/style? I like the idea of a MTM shirt from them for under $100. More than I'd usually spend (and everyone will tell me just to use...
