    Best looking dress shirts?

    I am looking for 2 or 3 high end white dress shirts to pair with a solid black suit and no tie. I want something that is not only good quality but that looks great. Any suggestions? I know there are a lot of options. I was thinking maybe Hugo Boss unless you guys have other suggestions. Thanks!

    "Chinese manufacturing can be quite good nowadays, so if you buy things based on country of origin label, it will be for reasons other than quality." I think that is probably true. I know in the firearms industry Vortex optics are made in China and they are now close to being the standard by...

    Spier and Mackay vs. Hart Shaffner and Marx

    I know that this is another boring versus thread but I am seriously looking for some feedback on this question. I have been a loyal Brooks Brothers guy for 15 years but I recently decided that while their quality has went downhill, their prices have not. I have begun looking for alternatives. I...

    Someone above used that sentence and I was just quoting them. Very hopeful that the clothes that I ordered will fit slim and proper. If not I guess I can have them tailored.

    Serious fashion advice

    This thread turned into a thread on dating advice, how? How do you know that she hasn't put out? How do you know that we haven't enjoyed casual outings? You assume a lot about her and about me. What specifically makes you an authority on this subject? (Not saying I agree or disagree with your...

    Since covid and since I last bought new dress clothes, styles and fashions have changed. That is what I was looking for help with.

    Serious fashion advice

    It is a fancy of her's to go to nice upscale restaurants that require formal dress. Since I needed new work clothes, I figured I will kill two birds with one stone. She is from a different culture that places more value on formal dress when dating/dining (Italy to be exact).

    Serious fashion advice

    I didn't start this thread for dating advice (which I don't need) and there is more to this than me just trying to impress her. I have to overhaul my entire wardrobe due to gaining about 1.5 inches in the waist and 1 inch in the neck. Its fine since most of my clothes are either outdated or...

    If trousers are a bit (.5 to 1 inches) to large in the waist, can a competent tailor take them in a bit and retailor them to look good?
