Noob here and I have a question about washing dress shirts. I generally wash them machine wash cold and then hang them to dry. I DO NOT iron them when they are damp as it seems many of you do. As a result, it seems that a lot of my shirts have odd creases and look "bad". Is it really necessary to iron a dress shirt an hour or so after it's been taken out of the washer?

I'll usually let it hang dry for a few days and a week later when I go to wear it again, I'll iron the shirt that morning.

I'd say some of my dress shirts have fared better than others in this regard, but my Harvie and Hudson shirts get in really bad shape after I hang dry for a few days, and ironing never bring them back to usual shape.

EDIT: I also had a small mud (?) stain on my favorite pink dress shirt (near lower back area) and I kinda ironed over it this morning. I haven't worn it since washing the shirt two weeks ago. I'm going to try and handwash it after work today (I wore it to work because it wasn't all that noticeable), but if anyone has suggestions on this, that would be great also. 

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and after reading some threads and "Dressing The Man" I need some help determining if I have a Medium or High Contrast Complexion.
That's me in my avatar.

Thank you.

Thank you sir

Really nooby question: If I'm a 19" shoulder, 40" chest, with long arms and torso, does that mean I have to buy size 42L and get the chest taken in? Or canI still fit into some size 40L sport coats? Most of the ones I see are around an 18.5" shoulder, but the size 42 jackets are usually around 22" in the chest.

Thanks!

what's the best way to remove gum stains from the side of my leather dress shoes.

I've tryed water and scraping with a brush, but no luck.

Astor & Black or Thick As Thieves???

Great Forum guys... I'm learning alot.  So I want a Full Canvas Suit without breaking the bank and wanted to get a consensus from the Style Forum.

Astor & Black sounds a bit hit and miss but the ones that are good... really sound great.  And they deal with alot of athletes and I have a more athletic build so that is why they caught my attention.

And from everything I read on here, Thick As Thieves sounds really really good. 

So if you had to choose which would it be... Astor & Black or Thick As Thieves?

Unless you have yet another better option.

Thanks~

Found these shoes on second hand for 35 dollars. Does anyone know anything about the brand? It's made in the USA and the insole says MorganQuinn. A quick google search on that name only yields a few ebay results. Would be interested to hear if someone knows anything.

Btw, should I change the black laces? If so, to what?

unless you literally have a huge package, I think you are noticing the bulge a little too much.

Lol, well thanks for the responses everyone, that pic was quite hilarious. No I'm really not exaggerating or being overly observant about my crotch bulging out, I'll have to post a pic sometime. Particularly when I'm wearing shorts, it is a big enough deal for me to be annoyed about it, especially when I'm shopping.

I'll keep you all updated later. This is serious stuff.

Kent Wang? Might be worth checking out the affiliate thread at least.
