    Where to buy Alligator belt?

    More natural, rustic. Brooks Brothers and other brands like that definitely look "dressier" because of glazing. Up to personal preference, really.

    Need advice for shoe paints?

    Well, I would go with the leather paint, I guess. I've only dyed shoes.

    Should I buy a blazer?

    If it's within budget, just buy it. I personally don't care if I "dress up" compared to others. It's what I like, and my wardrobe has carried me far. Judging people based on their clothing and footwear is a key part of being human and is rooted deeply in evolution. I view it as a sign of...

    Oxford vs Derby broguing

    Oxfords with broguing don't make sense to me. They could be worn with a suit in the daytime, maybe a more casual suit, and with cotton pants or denim. However, I just can't wear oxfords with anything but wool trousers--seems off to me. And even still, I almost always wear something other than...

    Where to shop for tweed sport coat

    J Press for RTW with 3/2 roll, but price might be steep. Or made-to-measure. I've had great success with studiosuits. They have Harris tweed in many colors/patterns for like $300-ish per. I have several of them. But it would be missing the 3/2 lapel.

    Have the length shortened so they just touch the top of the shoe.

    Where to buy Alligator belt?

    I don't own one, but I know Brooks Brothers makes an alligator belt (or crocodile?). Their cheap belts suck, but their expensive belts last. I have their shell belt, which I wore almost everyday for a year, and it's held up perfectly. All their stuff is heavily discounted right now. I got their...

    Chinos fit advice

    The only off-the-rack chino I can wear without any alterations needed is the Ralph Lauren relaxed fit chino (also called Suffield). Unfortunately, they stopped making it in 2017-18, but you can still find them on eBay. I suggest checking eBay, taking a guess at waist size. If you can measure...

    Trousers tailoring advice

    The fabric pooling on the rear thigh areas is probably due to an interaction between hip position (forward or back) while standing and the balance between front and back rise of the pants. I don't think it can be fixed without remaking or standing without letting your hips roll forward. The...
