    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    Yeah I have lost 20lbs, 205 to 185, since I purchased it and have been meaning to get it taken in. I guess this jacket fits into the not "odd" enough category. Unfortunately, it never had a matching pant.

    My first post of a fit so be kind, and excuse the tucked in flap on the right pocket, I didn't notice it until the middle of the day. .

    Wedding Attire Advice

    I know too well the intents of the bride and having to tiptoe the line between traditional wedding dress, all aspects whether formal or informal, and what the bride wants, contrary to conventions of dress but most importantly what will make her happy . See my thread titled: "Wedding...

    Suggestion for Sweatpant on a date

    I don't know about you but I find chinos more comfortable than jeans these days. Maybe its me getting older but then again I am only 28. To the OP: If you wear sweatpants to a date and that is accepted by your company, than you both deserve each other.

    Well Gents, I put up the good fight... I tried to "convince" her with the wedding ties suggested here; a solid silver and a small houndstooth, and finally to oblige her, I tried the white one. Reception was quite good to the first two ties, better than expected, but her face completely lit...

    I only thought of wool given the venue. It is a morning ceremony outdoors on the High Line. I expect it to be quite cool and given the casual nature of the place, wool may be suitable. To be honest it is a small casual wedding that has become a bit more formal as we approach the date.

    Oh, understood. I think I will buy a white one to convince her its not the route to take. I have found some in silver sheperd check, grey tartan, and others in wool that I feel would do the trick. The one you linked is a handsome tie my only reservation is about the scale of the pattern and the...

    To be honest this is something that she has "imagined for a long time". Trying to convince the Architect/Interior Designer that her "vision" seems a bit dicey is futile. I am at the mercy of "how things will photograph," the convention that only the bride and groom are wearing stark black and...
