Dropped off a shirt to have the sides taken in and darted. If he's good I'll leave the whole of lot with him. I believe darts are generally $5-10, but having the sides brought in at the seam?
I assume you're asking how much it generally costs to have a shirt brought in at the seams. If so, mid-priced NYC alterations tailors have usually charge me about $15 for that. I have not found alterations to be significantly cheaper elsewhere.

If your shirts are still too loose after a couple launderings which often shrink the collar a bit, then yes, you should size down.

Anyone hear of Johnston & Murphy Passport line of shoes? What sets them apart from regular J & M? Thanks.

Measure yourself. Put the tape measure around your neck with two fingers of space. See what you end up with.

I recently bought some J. Crew shirts, 1 madras and 1 dress shirt. How much will these shrink in the wash? I find that the small size fits me better in the sleeves, but the medium is my collar size.

Thanks

though the fit might be questionable

Bumping another guy's question.

It looks pretty good to me - maybe a tad on the short side, but not too bad. A bit hard to tell without seeing a fuller shot, or from the rear. But overall looks good. I would get the sleeves taken up a bit so that you have some shirt cuff showing. 1/2 inch of cuff is nice, but a little more or less is personal preference. Unbutton the bottom button (and leave it that way.) You'll always look better with the bottom button undone. EZ

alright, i have a few better views of it now...with a shirt and tie...and the bottom button is undone. Tags are still on so that's what the white is there.

dah328 · Apr 2, 2010

The shoulders are too wide. The jacket's shoulder seam should not extend beyond your shoulder.

lilmann40 · Apr 2, 2010

yea, that's about where i was concerned about it...and then, when leaving the bottom button undone, it also seems too wide.

what color belt would go best with a wheat colored brown blazer, a light french blue shirt and charcoal grey trousers?

Would it be strange to wear a navy polo with cargo shorts and boat shoes?
