    Suitsupply Merano Overcoat

    How heavy is the tweed? It's a little hard to gauge from pictures. (i.e. is it more of a dress coat)

    Choosing between suede chelsea boots

     Can't say I'm familiar with that Sancho Boot brand, but you're right - they look fairly average on the picture (not slim enough for my taste), and the color is quite a bit off from what I want too. Is someone familiar with these guys...

    Choosing between suede chelsea boots

    Man of Lint: Thanks! eluther: Well Jeffery Wests are English-made :) I'm aware those are a sort of outside my "soft" upper limit (They come out to be $324). But they're the cheapest ones I could find that have the color I want, have nice slender soles and don't look like they're going to fall...

    Choosing between suede chelsea boots

    Hi all, I am trying to pick some suede chelsea boots in a reasonable price range ($250 soft limit). I am partial to a particular shade of brown appearing in the two models below: http://www.julesb.co.uk/menswear-1/otoole-suede-chelsea-boots-723585.htm...

    Ah I see. Thanks everyone for the help!

    Topcoat fit check

     Wait, this is if I get the smaller size, and try to let the waist out. Would the other way around work? (I keep my current size, and try to take the waist in?)

    Topcoat fit check

    Btw, to everyone, I know shortening the sleeves shouldn't be too much of an issue. How difficult is it for the waist be taken in without destroying the coat?

    Topcoat fit check

     Right, I guess this is my problem too. With merino/cashmeres I can go down a number, but if I put something chunkier (even lambswool) - which I probably will since I'm using this as a winter jacket - the smaller size feels a bit tight around the waist (one can feel tension around the...

     Hey Roger C: There's some pictures in the link in the original post :)

    Topcoat fit check

    Hm, that's unfortunate. Is that due to the design of the coat itself or the fit? I don't do very formal all that much - my usual attire is dress shirts+sweaters, hence I got it in charcoal. I'm also intending the coat to be able to get me through fairly cold weather, so I'm not sure it can...

    Topcoat fit check

    Hi all, I recently purchased a Mayfair J Crew topcoat. (http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/topcoats/PRDOVR~17934/17934.jsp) I was hoping for advice on the fit. It feels like it's a tad big, but I'm not completely sure. (This version also has Thinsulate, so a bit of the bulk could be...

    Winter coat question

    Hmm, Ich_Dien, would you say this JCrew topcoat is along the lines of your advice: http://www.jcrew.com/mens_feature/NewArrivals/outerwear/PRDOVR~17934/17934.jsp I kinda like this in charcoal, though it seems to me the Zara looks heavier/warmer...

    Winter coat question

    Hi all, I'm writing to get people's opinion on two particular winter coats. One of them is the Schott 740C peacoat - http://www.schottnyc.com/products/other/made-in-usa/classic-wool-naval-pea-coat.htm and the other is this long military coat from Zara...

    Hairstyle advice

    Huh.. My problem with #4 is I am reasonably sure my hair is too thick to blow dry it into that position when the bangs are at that length. Would something like this also be too shockingly short? http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ld...9qooo1_500.jpg

    Hairstyle advice

    Hi Style Forum, a couple of months ago I received some good advice here regarding picking a hairstyle, so I thought I'd give it a shot again My last haircut from a few months ago is on new1.jpg. What I got currently is on front_hair and profile - as you can see my hair needs some trimming...
