In general what kind of hem do I want to look for in untucked casual shirts? Or should I just take shirts to a tailor and ask for a more casual hem? Not speaking of dress shirts.

Yes. The vast majority of button up shirts are, which is good, because no matter how trendy it is right now, untucked shirts look like crap.

I haven't bought anything from J Crew for a while so I don't now for sure. Sorry.

You might get more replies if you can ask about sales in a particular city. Let the members know where you will be visiting and you should get some responses. I hope your trip the the States! I suggest you look into your food choices- there are many great places to eat. None of them are big chains that you see on main streets. You will have to try Yelp or TripAdvisor and plan your meals into your visit. You can get some lousy food if you don't plan.

Many large cities have a store called Nordstrom Rack or Neiman Marcus Last Call. - you might find a decent suit for $500.

If the little white label attached to the inside breast pocket of a Ralph Lauren Purple label suits says:

Season #: 06-F10

Is this made in 2006 or is it Fall 2010?

If make for fall 2010, is 2006 the design year?

If there is a better thread to ask this, please let me know also. thank you.

To piggy back, is there anything on a RL label to find the color? I have a suit jacket I'd like to get pants for but can't find the RL Dark Charcoal color anywhere.

Both of you should post a picture of the interior tag so that you can better be assisted.

The problem is that I have a hard time gaining weight.

Just a quick shirt question: are french fronts any harder to iron than placket fronts?

Since you're asking so nicely I'll tell you that the fact is that I got a hard time gaining weight. I asked you guys a question and if you won't answer it; spare me your non-contributing comments.
