    Watch store for Rolex in NYC

    Sales tax is the same for everyone in NYC regardless of where you reside. We're not talking VAT. ???? Has NYC/NY State changed the law? There's no sales tax if you don't live in NY state and have the retailer ship to your home address-- the equivalent of mail order. Exception may be a...

    Watch store for Rolex in NYC

    Go to Rolex store I think the Rolex boutique is part of Tourneau with some marketing affiliation with Rolex. It wasn't yet opened the last time I walked by, but it may be now. Take the train over to Jersey. The sales tax difference should be enormous. Sales Tax shouldn't be a problem unless...

    Folded Up Shirt Appreciation

    Very cool. But why do all you guys order so many white shirts? Out of my 35-40 shirts, I have just one white shirt. Always have a few cleaned and pressed for unexpected formal occasions. White matches everything, so I keep a few in the office just in case I need to change. Also easy to...

    Broke my effing toe...

    Broken bones need to be properly set and allowed to heal without stress; not really possible if you just put on a shoe and start walking. If you ignore it, it may never heal correctly. More likely, your toe isn't broken, it just hurts. Doesn't the UK health system pay for x-rays/treatment for...

    Medial Epicondilytis or Golfer's Elbow

    I've been dealing with a mild case for the last 6-8 months. Not the worst thing; I just avoid stress in specific directions.

    I wanna get a road bike (Never had a bike before)

    If you don't have access to roads with minimal traffic, consider off-road instead; it's less boring and more challenging. At a minimum, get a hybrid bike. Don't reject swimming because you don't have a 6-pack; the people you're likely to be swimming with won't notice or care.

    Please critique BB Extra-slim fit shirt on me (Added new pics)

    Do all BB shirts have the box pleat? Seems wrong for a slim fit shirt.

    bespoke suit, what type of wool?

    In the near future I will be ordering my first bespoke suit, and at the moment one of my main questions is about the fabric. I know I want 100% worsted wool and I will be going with a solid navy color. but before I meet with a tailor, id like to know exactly what type of wool I should use. Ive...

    Foods for energy

    Don't see anything special about the situation as stated. If you have a physically demanding job, the answer would be different that if you sit at a desk all day. The generic question is what should someone eat for breakfast and lunch. Don't over-estimate the need for high-energy foods which...

    This *common* fit is terrible.

    Even if you don't like it, this is hardly terrible. Boots aren't always a style choice; they're functional when there's snow and you walk to work. Mike Cohen is tall and lean; the angle on this picture is way off, although it does look like he's put on some weight.

    Zegna Elements Line

    And if one is looking for something cheaper than Elements but with similar design and functionality? I am talking about this kind of jacket that you wear over the suit or sport coat in winter, instead of an overcoat. Zegna Elements is the low cost alternative to Loro Piana. If you want a...

    Zegna Elements Line

    I have both LP Storm and Elements pieces. If the question is about the performance of the fabric, then either will do the job equally well. If the question is about quality/finish, then LP has a big edge, but that should be expected with the price premium.

    How would you condition/care for this case?

    Is it bridle leather? If so, it's more durable than you are. Use any bridle leather cleaner and conditioner.

    so who sells Oxxford in the States?

    BG, some Saks, some Neiman Marcus, some Barneys, and scores of Regional Mid-Level Mens shops. I don't think there's a significant demand for Oxxford as RTW, so there won't be large quantities of inventory available in any one place.

    Attire for engineering internship/graduate school interview

    Everything you need to know is in the movie "To Sir, With Love." Sidney Poitier exeplifies how you should dress and explains why you should do it.

    Do Edward Green Top Drawer Shoes Fit Different Than EG RTW???

    The difference goes beyond perception and asthetics. Bevelled waist is narrower and higher through the arch, so I would suggest that even though it's the same last, it has a different shape after it's been stitched to the sole. It also bends and flexes differently which changes how the shoe...

    Help me decide Turnbull & Asser v Ascot Chang

    I use both, but I mostly use AC. You should be able to get the fit you want from either, but expect it to take multiple trial shirts. AC is far more consistent and reliable than T&A, and they do exactly what you want. T&A may or may not do what you want, and some of their shirts can be finished...

    Do Edward Green Top Drawer Shoes Fit Different Than EG RTW???

    The beveled waist on TD makes the shoes fit differently.
