    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    +1. You are buying a great product at an outlet mall. Quality will be top notch, and I bet you won't be able to tell the error in them. I agree with the store's policy in this case. Makes total sense.

    Need help to dress stylish please.

    +1. Dark jeans + black/grey/white Tshirt and 30 minutes a day in the gym is a fine start. Then a white dress shirt. Then a grey suit with the white dress shirt. Then a navy sports coat. Whatever you do, buy good stuff and keep it clean. No Ed hardy, Robert graham or logoed shirts...

    shoe advice

    Provided you get the right size, you can't go wrong with the fit of Alden/Allen Edmonds. If you get the wrong size, they are a terrible choice. They just seem to be a much stiffer shoe, so take the time to try on the various lasts and widths. The shoes will last 3x longer than your JandMs...

    Trying to build a wardrobe, how does this look

    A grey sweater is perfect. + a light blue. Just get a navy sports coat and then a grey suit. You can wear the sports coat with chinos, dark jeans, grey slacks. Mix in the sweaters and 5 dress shirts and suddenly you've got a bunch of combinations.

    Trying to build a wardrobe, how does this look

    If you are an art student, you only need one suit. Nothing too fine. He is absolutely correct on tan stuff. That's a whole different lesson for a year or so from now. Shoes--A wingtip would be perfect--Allen Edmond Strand too. Go to Boston, get sized at a store, then order from...

    Trying to build a wardrobe, how does this look

    The sport jacket should be navy. Keep the white shirt. Throw away the others and definitely don't get the burgundy. For a v neck, get grey. Not tan. Throw away the black suit. Get a navy or grey suit.

    NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF OCT 26, 2015

    Youre off to a great start Id say. dont shy away from jeans, but get a nice, dark denim pair--trim or classic fit. Not relaxed, baggy. For your shoes, get a pair of brown shoes for the other pair. Khaki chinos are as universal as people think, and dont go well wih all colors, but grey can...

    Which dockers pants are thick and good for winter?

    Is there a Sid Mashburns in Houston?

    AE First Ave Boots

    Id say either the shoe fits or it doesnt. The last will be different than you are used to and the fit will probably be different than the dalton. Maybe try a smaller size/narrower shoe?

    Blazer opinions and show me yours.

    The button is way too high ( have a deeper v) That could nearly be a 3 button jacket. Too big of lapels. The sleeves are way too big and the mid is probably too tight. It's a bad choice.

    Where to find a quality suit for heavyset guy?

    New to Business Casual

    I tend to think of IT as a little more fashion forward, whereas most of the advice on this board is more traditional/classic. That said, Jos A Bank doesn't get recommended here too much. Maybe tell us where you are located and someone can recommend a local men's store. For big retail...

    Dress shoes for standing/walking/squatting/bending all day

    You need a rotation of shoes and to give them 2 or three days off Between wearings, so you're going to need a few fairs of them. Maybe try out one pair first, wear them on Tuesday/Thursday. Make sure you get sized properly. Not all AEs fit the same way, since they are built on different...
