    Church's WTF!?

    ^ ^ Right. Some people like this feature well enough to have it done by a cobbler post-purchase. It's not a mark of low quality.

    Incorrectly Washed Raw Denim - Un-Even Dye Leeching. Please Help!!

    The jeans are not totalled, but cannot be worn formally anymore. I fail to see the problem. Get some Rit fabric dye and redye them. Black or midnight blue. Then sew a double satin or grosgrain stripe down each outside seam. All set!

    Are these Ray Ban glasses real ?

    The model number checks out, anyway. If fake, they're pretty good fakes.

    Tailor thinks suit is still too short -- what's your opinion?

    Rule of thumb is to cover your butt. I continue to believe this is always a good idea.

    Prematurely Washed Raw Denim. Please Help!!!

    Suggest that you repost in the 'Streetwear and Denim' Forum. users may be more likely to understand how denim works. Here, less likely. I assume that the omission of irony quotes around "works" is accidental. If by chance it is not, I'd really like to hear how denim "works". Even if this isn't...

    Tailor thinks suit is still too short -- what's your opinion?

    The 38R is acceptable in length. In my admittedly conservative opinion, it's not ideal. It's an inch or so short of being the ideal length. The 40L is more to my liking. Again, my preferences in such matters tend to the conservative. So, it seems, do your tailor's. But tastes do differ and there...

    brown or black shoes for wear w/ red chinos?

    To me, red pants call for Bucks - white, off-white, or tan. Tan could be fine. White or off-white would be a real eye-catcher with those dark pants, and I think that's a point against them. And now that someone's mentioned navy bucks, that actually sounds promising, too.

    brown or black shoes for wear w/ red chinos?

    not Nantucket Red; these: http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/SlimFi...s&origin=index Judging from the photos, the official answer is neither. You wear dirty sneakers, a half-tucked shirt and sweater, and a dopey "Shucks, you mean me?" expression. And you cross your legs like you need to go to the...

    Bespoke Gloves

    Hm. I still feel inferior when I see words like "braces" and "waistcoat" or even just "whilst" instead of "while." Greetings, fellow Irvine-ite JamesX.

    White blazer at night?

    I believe you wrote elsewhere that you're on your third white blazer in four years. Since you're the resident white blazer specialist, shouldn't you be the one dispensing guidance, rather than asking for it?

    Girlfriend With A Sewing Machine

    the alterations will help, but for the most part it'll still look "off" Heh? It all depends on how ill-fitting the clothes are to start with. Cheap clothes (T-shirts or anything thrifted), are great for experimenting. Start with an item you wouldn't be too sorry to lose, and have a go at it...

    How can I make this sportcoat fit better?

    Do you think it would be possible to get these shoulders built up some so it would reduce the fabric under the armpits. Sound like a major job to me, not just a routine alteration. But if you do it, definitely lengthen the sleeves. To me they already look a bit on the short side, even allowing...

    Fashion Blogger Explains How To Turn Pants Into Shorts

    Reading the most recent posts, I feel a little bad about the tone of my earlier one. They put a lot of work into the site, and it shows. I'm sure it's informative to a lot of readers/viewers, and I have to keep in mind that the target audience is guys just getting the hang of adult attire. I...
