    Removing shine from shoes?

    Thank you both. Yeah, I was hoping that fine grain was referring to a form of full grain given the specs, but I guess given the price point and high gloss that it's probably corrected grain with some sort of plasticky coating instead of wax.

    Removing shine from shoes?

    I picked these up from a J&M outlet, essentially for free. They have a military shine and if possible I'd like to tone it down a bit. Would working in some conditioner perhaps be effective? https://www.nordstrom.com/s/johnston-murphy-bradford-apron-toe-oxford-men/4472194

    Time to ditch these Born shoes?

    Thank you! Yes, wing-tips may be in my future. I have an affordable (J&M) pair of derbys, but they have a soft square toe and look dated. I rarely wear black but need a good pair in my stable!

    Time to ditch these Born shoes?

    Thanks folks, I think I have very good replies! I also thought they were out of style and make feet look shorter (they are comfortable, though!). I don't wear shoes in the house and have no need for kick-about-the-property shoes, so I'm passing them to the thrift store. Thanks again!

    Time to ditch these Born shoes?

    Thank you. I take it that you don't like them under any style. :)

    Time to ditch these Born shoes?

    Or wear them differently? They certainly are not dress shoes... I wonder if they look dated. (edit: I'm just learning to tie my shoes, apparently...)

    Waterproofing boots

    Jumping in here with a related question! I just bought these J&M Baird chukkas and they have an "oiled full-grain leather" upper (https://www.sierra.com/product/index/786vr/?colorFamily=01&itemCode=786VR-01-8.5-M). I would like to wear them to work (business casual) on rainy and slushy days...

    Where should i go to buy my suit?

    I've had good experiences in recent years with customer service at MW, but it depends on the store. Taking a look at department stores like Macy's is okay as well in your price range. You likely won't come out looking like Daniel Craig but can find an affordable suit that looks sharp for...

    Why a Black Suit is the Most Versatile Choice

    Nice ideas! Thank you. And someone else said, there will likely be something more appropriate or desirable in my closet anytime I think to reach for a black sport coat or blazer. Still, if I find just the right jacket, I may try to build an outfit or two.

    Why a Black Suit is the Most Versatile Choice

    Wow, some serious heat in here! Thanks, OP, for sparking a useful discussion. On a slightly different topic, I've been trying to sort out how I might wear a black blazer in casual, evening settings with slacks or nice denim. Haven't quite figured it out yet.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I hope an actual tailor chimes in- I would like to know! I don't recall seeing a side pic. Could the wrinkling behind the you mentioned be due to the sleeve angle? If you bring your arms a little forward or back, does the wrinkle disappear?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    I'm afraid the pics are a little bit dark, and the angle (high and close?) And angualr background makes it tough for me to see how well it fits. Maybe others are having the same reaction.

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    (Not a tailor) Posture aside, it looks like your frame is somewhat "hippy." Those suits emphasize, or make it look like, your hips are wider than your shoulders. That is, in part, expressed through the x pattern in the front when you button it , ie, the bottom of the jacket doesn't hang...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    (Not a tailor) A little long by typical measure of arm length, but it seems well balanced with your overall height (I assume it covers your butt and the vents don't flair). I think it looks very good.
