    Identify this shoe.

    I like the lower vamp - reads a bit more casual to me, which is my goal. In any case, despite the revised terminology, I'm having zero luck locating something like this. Prada or some other overpriced crap has a nasty looking patent leather version, but that's about it. SIGH. Life is pain.

    Identify this shoe.

    Wholecut! Maybe that's the ticket. I had search "one piece" because I have had some scotch this evening. Will look into your suggestions. Totally open at this point, but this is a gap in my collection.

    Identify this shoe.

    I'm a shoe novice. I am looking for a summer-appropriate loafer/slipper/whatever the nomenclature that I can wear to the office (I'm an attorney) but can also wear casually. Specifically, I am thinking of something that will fit for dinner or walking around when I'm on vacation in Amalfi/Capri...

    Indochino suits?

    Was considering using Indochino to produce 5 suits for a wedding party--my older brother is getting married and, because I'm the only one who knows how a suit is supposed to fit, I've been charged with this task. From reviewing the thread, seems like it's probably not the best option. Probably...

    Topcoats for athletic men with big drop

    Gentlemen: My brother is looking for a cheap/reasonably priced topcoat, but he's got a very athletic build large drop. He has a drop of about 11 or 12 (42-30/31). He's something like 5'8 or 5'9. He bought one from J. Crew, which, not surprisingly, does not fit him in his midsection. Can anyone...

    Your Favorite Shoe with a Seersucker Suit

    I just picked up the jcrew seersucker suit for dirt cheap. OTR, it fits me almost perfectly, so why not? anyhow, point is i'm now having this shoe debate, too. I'm thinking the shoes picture here on top, but can't see it in my mind's eye as working... from a recent GQ--john varvatos

    Whitish spot on tie from trying to clean?

    Even a black tie? Doesn't that thing have a tendency to make things whiter?

    Whitish spot on tie from trying to clean?

    Folks: I have a black burberry tie that I got a tiny bit of food on and, after gently dabbing and wiping it with a damp papertowel and then attempting to press the spot dry with another paper towel, I am left with a whitish spot, apparently from the cleaning attempt. What should I do from here...

    (Old) Ask a Question, Get an Answer - please ask all quick questions here

    Gentlemen, a question: I just bought a black tie from burberry and, wouldn't you know it, day one i get some bit of food on it. i do not believe it was oil, but my attempts to dampen and dab the tie have resulted in a whitish circle showing up, almost as the the black is fading in that one...

    Did Burberry just screw me?

    I had the same thought for a second, but if you re-read his post, it was a special "MTM event." Usually at those events retailers will waive the additional MTM charge. Precisely. I ended up buying the less expensive wool/cotton blend for $1095. I'm also getting an MTM suit for $1100.

    Did Burberry just screw me?

    I am a lawyer, and am aware that there would be no recourse--not too worried about cancelling, just about whether I should. I asked for the price and the guy said he didn't know, but that it'd be around off the rack prices--that that was the point of the MTM event. I just called him back and he...

    Did Burberry just screw me?

    No--he said he'd get me a price and said he'd submit the order anyhow. I never signed anything. It's camel hair, side vents, and otherwise nothing special.

    Did Burberry just screw me?

    I ordered a made-to-measure sportcoat last week and they submitted they order and just called me to tell me that it was going to be $1395. Now, I will pay that, but I was under the impression that sportcoats off the rack there were $700 or so and that the whole point of the MTM event was to get...

    Any members with real pics of a person in a Tom Ford

    It appears that his only utility is in helping Brooks Brothers design some sh*t that doesn't look like it could double as a sail on the main mast of a schooner.
