    First dress shoe - skip black forburgundy?

    I don't think wearing burgundy shoes with a black suit looks good. I recommend getting black as your first pair; you can always get burgundy later. +1 You will rarely go wrong with black for a dress shoe. Maybe not the most adventurous, but rarely if ever will it be wrong.

    Help me Decide on a Watch!

    I've looked closely at both in real life and for me it would be the PML definitely. Both the PML and the RDM offer good (and about the same) value for money. The RDM is nice and slim by today's standards and has useful functions and for the price you get more than excellent JLC quality. The dial...

    Has a Piece of Clothing ever Gotten you Laid?

    Clearly not a factor in the OP's case. Yes well I hope it had something to do with something other than the watch because I feel like selling it - all off pp and their relatively poor finishing (that's if you actually get to see the movement since they have been putting tiny movements in larger...

    Contrast color white barrel cuffs

    Jose, I think if you have the personality which works with what you like, then why not? Alternatively, you could always post pictures and get the people here to give feedback on whether they think it works. But as I said, as long as you are comfortable with it then I don't think any kittens are...

    Has a Piece of Clothing ever Gotten you Laid?

    My calatrava has not been the sole reason, but has started conversations with girls which have resulted in bedroom gymnastics. I'd like to think that my personality had something to do with it, but who knows.

    is a good watch necessary?

    I believe that's there goal. That would explain the company trying to build hype by buying their own watches at record prices at their own Antiquorium auctions. Omega's been doing the same thing as well. Maybe... what I don't like so much is how the same movement is used repeatedly in many...

    How tight should shirt cuffs be?

    When the cuff is buttoned i can comfortably put one finger between the cuff and wrist. No bigger , no smaller. I've heard this before - sounds like good advice.

    is a good watch necessary?

    I got a strange story from a friend in New York who is fortunately still employed. His law firm partner took out some more junior representatives of a client to a very fancy lunch and brought him along. The partner owns some very fine watches but intentionally wore a digital wristwatches (while...

    I have never seen Letterman wear a sportcoat

    This is the first time I've noticed any late night talk show host wear a sportcoat, as opposed to a suit, in the 90s or 00s. It looks very similar to the jacket from the suit Bill Cosby gave him. Global recession has resulted in cuts to the CBS budget

    Buttonless shirts anyone?

    I'm not a fan. Not one here iether, but should be okay - most people probably wouldn't notice.

    Dress code for ballet - black tie?

    "The Rake" magazine

    It's not a bad magazine. I posted about it in the "How Hong Kong is different thread". Last month they did a profile on Charvet, Trousers Fit and Brioni. The latest issue has a cover story on Cleverley shoes So mostly clothing and accessories then?

    What is the difference between suits made in England and China?

    Really, the materials used, designer, manufacturer and competency of the tailor would matter more than the geographical location. It's impossible to make national-level generalizations. +1
