    jcrew suits

    You could do a lot better for the money. You could also do a lot worse. If time if the real constraint, you don't actually care what people's opinions are; just do it.

    Who makes "Ralph Lauren" shoes?

    I decided for $122 it was worth the risk. I need a pair of black captoes, so it's hard to see really getting hurt. And if they are Sutor Mantellassis, so much the better.

    think this is wise tie storage?

    is that just a shoebox? i have been trying to figure out a way to store my ties. Yep. Now to figure out if clear plastic would really add any utility.

    think this is wise tie storage?

    I live in a high-rise apartment, and closet space is at a serious premium. Would this damage my ties? If not, I could put them in clear plastic bins.

    Best Overcoat/Trench for short guys

    I bought one from banana republic this month. It's their car coat with the covered buttons. I am also 5'7". It's a coat that actually looks good because it fits so well on my shoulders and chest, which I think is crucial for shorter people. +1. I just bought a charcoal single-breasted wool coat...

    Crewneck sweaters and ties? OCBDs and ties?

    Do you do either of these? Crewneck seems pointless, and I must confess a tie with a button-down collar just looks too busy to me.

    Cost of modifications/tailoring

    Do you guys have every shirt tailored? Even cheap 1mx shirts from express? I have no choice. I have an 8" drop and very short arms. Nothing OTR is even close.

    How did you hear about SF?

    My brother pointed me to the S&D section when I was looking for jeans... now I ceaselessly browse the MC sections, and am much the better for it.

    is this kind of shoe purchase wise?

    Thanks for the help.

    is this kind of shoe purchase wise?

    It isn't irrelevant. Buying slightly used shoes is fine, but not beaters worn by someone else. The shoe likely have conformed to the original owner's foot, for one thing. Unless you are totally strapped for cash and can't afford new shoes, the point is, your money, even $5, is better spent...
