    Proper sleeve length

    Now that my Janzten shirt has been through the wash a few times and whatever shrinking may take place is done with, I was wondering if this is the proper sleeve length. Â I've never had to worry about it before as I usually just rolled up my sleeves, but now that I will soon have to wear a suit...

    How much do you guys pay for haircuts?

    I just slap a #1 on the razor and go to town. I need to shave about once a week though because my hair grows incredibly fast. It easily doubles in length in that amount of time.

    Extra material on suit back

    I fit both of those categories, so that is most likely the problem then.  Alright, thank you very much.

    Extra material on suit back

    So I posted this in the Helmut Lang thread already, but I figured I'd get some quicker responses if I just made my own thread. I just purchased a lightweight HL suit and it fits relatively well (I have to take the waist in a bit), except for the upper back. The material below the neck, right...

    Helmut lang

    Yeah. It seems like something that a tailor would be able to fix, though it would be nice to get someone else's opinion on the matter before I go and get everything tailored.

    Colognes you wear?

    Dolce & Gabbana pour homme Bulgari pour homme Chanel Allure Creed Silver Mountain Water YSL M7 Guerlain Habit Rouge I just started buying cologne this fall, so most of my fragrances are more suited for colder weather. Â I'll need to pick up a few lighter ones once warm weather approaches. Check...

    Helmut lang

    I just bought a nice black HL suit through yoox and it fits relatively well. I have a fairly athletic build with broad shoulders and typically wear a size 46R. The HL suit is in size 46 also and it fits fine throughout the chest and shoulders, though it is still a little big around the waist...

    Opinions ooooon

    Oddly enough, I just ordered the same coat. I've been dawdling on whether or not I should buy that coat for awhile now. It was priced at $400 then and this extra $100 off made me finally go through with it. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the coat is though.

    Chicago shopping:  need advice

    I'm going down there next weekend also and I was wondering if there are any good casual clothing stores around the downtown area? Stores in the style of the Atrium or Camoflauge in New York would be appreciated.

    Casual winter outerwear

    I'm personally a fan of the shells with a zip-in fleece. I currently have a North Face one just like that and it's as warm as you'll ever need. I've found that the fleece does shed a very small amount initially, but after just a week or two it shouldn't give you anymore problems. And the best...

    Paper denim & cloth

    How would they compare to Seven's relaxed jeans? They're my only pair of "designer" jeans and I just got a huge security deposit back from my last apartment, so I'm fiending for some new denim.

    Paper denim & cloth

    Does Paper Denim & Cloth make any kinds of relaxed jeans? All the stores online seem to only offer slim fitting/bootcut ones and none of the stores in my area carry the brand, so I've been unable to find a relaxed pair. Any help would be appreciated.

    Another fashion help thread

    Alright, I'm looking to improve my overall style. I'm a 21 year old college student and have typically dressed in the urban (as in hip hop) fashion sense. Now I've never gone the incredibly baggy route that's popular now days, but my clothes have always been on the large side. Growing up in the...
