    The Ascendancy of J. Crew - all good?

    If you guys are worried about this degrading the exclusivity of your brands, you need to find more exclusive brands. I'm not so sure JCrew collabs are an attempt to bring those brands to the mainstream, as it is a way of seeking the approval of fashionistas. Most of those collabs, aside from...

    Brooks Brothers "Back fo Campus" and "Back to Town" Collections

    You really have to be specific about the line. They have at least 4 cuts in their casual trousers. Since you mentioned JCrew, I'd say the Milanos fit almost like the urban slim fit.

    Baseball caps getting crumpled on the right side

    If its a cap you wear to the beach, honestly, don't worry about a dimple in the hat. Even the finest and most stylish gentlemen will want to throw on a weathered, well-worn, comfortable cap when appropriate. Fussing over it is exactly what makes it lame.

    Can I wear my Tom Ford suit to work?

    Anyone know what the OP meant by upturned pocket? You mean an angled breast pocket?

    Brooks Brothers Fall Looks 2010

    So far the comments have been positive. For those of us who remember the old BB, this collection is yet another indication of the continued decline of a once iconic brand. To me, it looks a cut or two above Jos. A. Bank. In terms of...? Styling? Quality? I've never really spent much time in...

    What size shoestrings for these boots?

    Generally... 60" for 7-9 eyelets 72" for 9+ eyelets Given how much add'l length there seems to be when tied, those could be 72", but doubt it. But generally speaking, 60" would be fine for most boots. 72" usually for those boots that go almost mid-calf.

    How are How are women able to walk in shoes like these?

    OUCH! That's like the female equivalent to seeing a picture of a guy in too-tight pants or getting a nut shot in a comedy movie. I can just feel the CRACK as my ankle rolls over. EEPS.

    Leggings have got to stop

    In the end, hot women are hot. Granted they will look hotter in some outfits then others, but they can wear almost anything and be hot. Even sweats, if they have a pretty face, they'll still be attractive. ^This... I like leggings because it allows women to wear hemlines that are way shorter...

    The black blazer thread

    Saw this one that looked pretty good. That looks like a tux jacket too. In any case, if the meet n greet is casual enough that you think jeans would be ok, a dark denim would go nicely with your taupe DBs and also the black blazer. Since style isn't impt for this situation, just go with what...

    Brooks Brothers Fall Looks 2010

    Picked up a pair of navy and red Milano chinos at SCP for $30 each. They're slim indeed. I actually sized up in the waist. They still have a fairly wide selection for 50% and in "normal" sizes at SCP.

    Brooks Brothers "Back fo Campus" and "Back to Town" Collections

    Just tried the Milanos... very nice. I actually had to size up in the waist. Picked up a pair of navy and red at SCP for 50% off ($30). Saw a lot of the new fall. SA said more coming in Tuesday of next week. I really liked several of the cotton unlined Fitzgerald sportcoats although not...
