    Carmina Penny Loafer, Brown, 7.5 UK/8.5 US, Uetam last

    For sale are Carmina penny loafers on the Uetam last, size 7.5 UK/8.5 US. These will ship in the original box with the red Carmina felt shoe bags (as pictured). I wore these out of the house exactly once before realizing they're a little too small for me (see minimal sole wear), so they're in...

    FS: Alden Plain Toe Balmoral in patent leather, sz. 9D US

    For sale: A pair of Alden plain toe balmorals in patent leather, size 9 US. These are on the Plaza last, on the sleeker side for Alden with a soft square and all the excellent construction Alden is known for. These would be great for those wanting to invest long-term in “correct” black tie...

    FS: Crockett & Jones Hallam sz 8 UK/9 US, black

    For sale: A pair of Crockett & Jones Hallam in black calf, size 8E UK/9 US. These are from C&J’s benchgrade line on their celebrated 348 last. These were worn fairly regularly to work for about a year and a half, great shoes but I need to make some room in the closet so here they are. These...

    Cheapest place for C&Js?

    My apologies if this has been discussed recently, a few searches didn't turn up any definitive answer. I'm looking to pick up a pair of handgrade line and was curious where the current lowest price was to have to shipped to the U.S.--is it still PLAL? Pediwear? Is there some other source where...

    Shoes for black tie

    I've resigned myself to the rental tux from Men's Wearhouse for an upcoming wedding, but the shoes, they are especially heinous. Anyway, if I were going to buy patent leather plain toe oxfords for black tie occasions going forward, where should I spend my money at $200-$400, in a last similar...

    Rental tux alternatives

    My sister is getting married in a little over a month, and I'm an usher, and she recently decided that she'd like to have the ushers wearing tuxedos because the other usher is also a groomsmen and will be wearing a tux. Knowing me, she was nice enough to consult with me as to what kind style I...

    What's on your Christmas menu?

    Just curious what everyone is serving for Christmas this year since their isn't quite the same standardized menu as Thanksgiving. As it's just my mother, grandmother, and me for dinner, we just pick our favorite foods and make them, which for the last few years has been: -Crab cakes -Caesar...

    Steven Colbert is wearing my tie.

    Not that it's anything special, just a classic navy with white dots from Brooks Brothers. It does make a nice knot for me. Ever notice anyone on TV/in the media wearing the exact same item you own?

    Shorter-collared dress shirts?

    I've come to conclusion through trial and error that shorter, smaller-collared dress shirts look better on me than the (too me) larger variety. I have found 1.5" with proportionally short point lengths to be ideal but the only label I've found that makes a quality slim-fitting shirt with collars...

    Shoe formality level for office Christmas party?

    I have an office Christmas party in a couple of months, so of course, I thought I'd use this as an excuse to buy new shoes. The party is at night at a 5-star resort in a ballroom, there is a multiple-course meal, and I'd say 80% of the male employees will be in suit and tie and a few of the...

    Freaks and Geeks

    I'd heard good things about this show for a while but I finally got around to downloading the series and I'm about halfway through. Damn, what a good show. It's very funny in parts, but the dramatic side of it is so well written. The characters are dynamic and none of the conflicts are black...

    "Going out" shoes

    No, this isn't that thread where somebody asks what you think of their obscenely ugly Gucci/Prada/KC square toes. I'm in need of some shoes to wear with jeans and I won't mind if they get beat up. I'm 23 and I frequent crowded (but not dive) bars where my feet are going to get kicked and spilled...

    Shirts like RL Purple Label?

    I'm still in the process of fleshing out a work wardrobe, which 95% of the time means wool pants and a dress shirt. I've got a good rotation of pants together, a couple pairs of AEs to alternate, but I still only have a few shirts I really like. My favorite of the bunch, the only one that's...

    Shoe shine tip?

    I'm about to stop off at Nordstrom to have my shoes shined on the way to the event (I'm sure there are much better places to go, never mind doing it myself, but I'm pressed for time) and I'm curious what the standard policy is on tipping. The charge is $2.50 per pair of shoes, what would you...

    Double-sided Cuff Links

    I'm in search of some more formal cuff links (read: silver, maybe a little flashy) to wear to a formal office holiday party. I'm looking for a quality sterling silver pair, possibly with some color, and---I'd really prefer them double-sided. I really like these (in person they have a subtle...

    The Perfect White Herringbone Shirt

    I have a formal (suit and tie) event for a company I just started working for next Friday (the 7th), and I've found myself without distinctly formal attire that isn't more at home in my everyday business casual wardrobe. I don't think I'll have trouble finding an appropriate tie, pocket square...

    The 2007-2008 NCAA Basketball Season

    Anyone else excited about the start of college hoops? I think we're entering an era of increased juxtaposition of young talent vs. experienced upperclassmen. The NBA rule keeping high schoolers in college for at least a year will create situations where the talent of the one-and-done freshmen...
