    Kansas City Tailor recommendations

    I just recently re-located to Platte City for my job and need to find a good tailor that can do a few suits and a sport jacket. Thanks for the input! I'll check the shop out and take one of the suits to them to see if they can lower the collar.

    Sunglasses MEGATHREAD - all sunglass questions here please

    Those two looks are really close and the fit is what matters - the RBs have a bit more more flash than the others. Good to see you land on one that you like and looks good for you!

    Vicious- I think you nail it with the Ray Bans like mr usneum and the others suggest. The look more finished than the REs. I think the wayfarer style looks good on you, but those particular ones look like the black rubberized ones, which always like a little cheap IMO. I submit a tortoise...

    I've got them in the G15- I kinda felt the brown were more popular with the ladies. I went with Amazon- not sure if that's good or bad but my results were positive and they look and feel like the ones I see in Saks, Nordstroms etc and the Sunglass Hut. $80 well spent.

    Well, I think I found the aviator style at a price that I like ... but I get what I pay for so I'm looking at either the Persol 2407 (in 62mm but fairly straight lines at the top and bottom) in gold or the Persol 2993s (57mm in a more classical teardrop shape yet a little flattened at the bottom...

    Ok- So I'm going to go with the 2994 in black but what about this for an Aviator style...http://www.luxoneyes.com/eng/sunglasses/persol.cfm?sunglassid=758330 Try to excuse my simple ignorance (and slight laziness) if there are posts/threads elsewhere warning against this website but this...

    Are Persols 714 the same as 2994? My gut tells me they're different but it must be very subtle ...

    I hadn't thought about that image with the holiday though, when I think about the image that's really what comes to mind. I guess the unbranded Clubs will work for that purpose if I want that look. So the Persols 2994 - I'll look for them at the $150 and below but right now they are are...

    @hoodyear- thanks for the assist on a place to look. I'l have to keep checking that place since there's no joy right now for the OP Farrells or even Mosley Tribe. I bought the Dolce's from Sunglass Hut and decided that I won't do that again since I probably over paid by $60-$70. Amazon has...

    @Mr. U- I think I'm swayed enough to look into the Persols. I've been scouring the web but I hate to pay full retail knowing that there's got to be places that sell them for some sort of discount but I don't want to screw myself without asking the question of where are a few reputable places to...

    So maybe I need to look at putting the R/B Club Masters II up as well- that kinda sucks since they're brand new and past the return from Amazon. Plus, they're the made in china Club Masters- so I'll take a hit there as well... I knew I should have returned those when I had the chance.

    @Mr usnuen- Thanks for taking the time to look and give me some opinions. I never really like the D&Gs so it's good to know that I should just cut the loss on them. I like the Persols and may have to give them a try if they'll work better than the club masters. I don't really know what to a...

    So this is my first styleforum post despite lurking around for awhile. I hope to get some honest and critical feedback in the sunglasses department. I have a fifth pair of R/B Caravans in gold frame that are not pictured and may take the place of the D&G since I think the slightly more angular...

    New Wallet Advise

    +1 for Launer. I've had my American version (narrower black and tan to accommodate US currency) for 4 years now- it's been through a year in Iraq and Afghanistan being carried in my chest pocket (takes more of a beating due to sweat) and it's held up very, very well. It's been soaked through...
