    Dinner Recs in Chicago

    Funny I live about 30 feet away from Longman and Eagle. I find the food hit or miss, it is creative but I think the kitchen is too small and the food suffers when they are busy. I've taken a fancy to Owen and Engine, about half a mile away, nice little English-inspired gastropub. If you are...

    First Black Tie Event, opinions on shoes.

    I recently agreed to volunteer for a Black Tie event for the American Cancer Society. I am required to be dressed in Black Tie. I was able to purchase a SB Peak tuxedo from the ill fated cladmen.com's final closeout sale for about $200 (link if you are interested). I just need some patent...

    MTM Suits - EliteSuits

    Thanks for your response sir, it helps me understand your business model a lot. The current site is managable for me as it is, but the one thing I would suggest in the interim is to rename the image files for the fabric swatches to their color and weave, and put the fabric number in the detail...

    Is this suit too big on me?

     This sounds good. You'll get a lot of (often dramatic) advice, but in the end you'll have to wear it, and pay for it. No use in sizing down if it makes you uncomfortable and you won't wear it.

    Poll: Do you use a shoehorn to put on your dress shoes?

    Got a long 18" metal shoehorn. Joy to use, because I do not have to bend down very far to use it.

    Is this suit too big on me?

    It looks a bit large from the pictures. How does the fit feel?

    Fit Critique

    I say hold on to the jacket. I remember myself when I was twenty, an eyeblink and a decade later and I'm 40lbs heavier (I hope you fare better with age). You may find you will grow into it, both physically and sartorially. I don't think its as terribile as the other posts seem to be painting...

    My next suit....

     That's why I wrote in that second part.. For example, I may not be the biggest fan of widely spaced pinstripes or tassel loafers, but if someone can wear them well and look good, I can appreciate it, even if I'd never wear it. Plus I give the bosses a little credit. I manage a small...

    My next suit....

    As long as it looks good and you can wear it comfortably and confidently, go with it People may not agree with your choices, but if they think it works for you, there is no issue..

    Formality of burgundy shoes

    I think I only prefer Burgundy shoes to brown with Navy Suits/Trousers. But I'm a creature of habit. Black/Charcoal = Black Shoe. Brown/Light Grey = Brown Shoe. Mid Grey=whatever. Blue (not navy)= Chili or Brown. I probably should mix it up, gotta find a combo that works though. As for...

    The Mens Braces Thread

     Wait there's a rule they shouldn't be seen? I take my jacket off all the time. Couple of the older folks at work always tell me to show those suspenders off anyway. Those fellas are all a mile above my pay grade. Might be a cultural thing though, they all dress alarmingly similar to...

     Yeah my loops had one end tucked underneath the waistband.

    MTM Suits - EliteSuits

    I noticed them too and have been noodling around the website. Like you said their website is not the best, but the amount of content written sort of implies they are not delibrately trying to hide anything. Fabric is especially hard to look at. Ebay feedback on their inexpensive suits/shirts...
