    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Crane's sells them separately. I asked them to send me one with my 256 if they couldn't get the 256 pre-installed with the handle from Filson. I don't remember the exact cost, but of the top of my head, it was $10-12.

    What's that fold of fabric over the collar felt on a good suit coat?

    The material is called melton. I assume the name for the detail is collar melton.

    What should be my first pair of dress shoes, $200 budget??

    Hold off on wingtips until you get a pair of black and a pair of brown captoes. philosophe has the right idea as to whether brown or black would serve you better. Allen Edmonds or Meermin if you're buying new. If you're comfortable with buying used, then check ebay or buy and sell forum...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    It looks brighter in the picture. I don't have Photoshop installed on this computer to correct the color. The color irl is more similar to the pictures in this post: http://www.styleforum.net/t/133759/filson-bag-thread-with-pictures/2370#post_6313836 As for it being flimsier than the original...

    Quote: On my navy 256, it's in the exterior front pocket. Same with my red 257.

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    I'm so tempted to buy that red 257, but I have a navy 256 on the way. One one hand, it's a superfluous red bag, but on the other hand, it's cheap.

    Underwear color

    For underwear, if it is clean, fits, has no holes, and is comfortable, I will wear it. I don't really think about color coordination, matching textures, or matching formality with undergarments.

    How would internet sales tax affect your buying?

    My buying will be marginally affected. Prices online tend to be cheaper than b&m stores even with taxes calculated in and often online retailers offer free shipping. Sometimes local stores don't carry the things I want to buy anyway. For example, I wear wide shoes, which stores sometimes don't...

    Prioritization in Building a Business Wardrobe?

    Quote: It would really depend on your particular needs (e.g. what you wear for work, weaknesses in your wardrobe, etc.). If you wear suits often for work, then you add another suit into your rotation. This would add variety and give your other suits additional rest time. If your other needs...

    What is appropriate for Interview?

    aravenel gave you a link that showed you what was interview appropriate. If you don't want to get new clothes, then look at your wardrobe and see what outfit would be most similar to what is suggested. It just takes a little independent thought. btw, #3 is the closest thing to interview...

    Suitsupply double-monk shoes

    They look chunky and I don't like the squared off ends on the strap. I don't have any personal experiences with these shoes, so I don't know about quality. These are the ones that I've found at the same price point that look better: AE Neumora's -...

    Should I wear suits for college?

    Overall advice: Just enjoy college and concentrate on doing well; there's enough time after college for suits everyday.

    Should I wear suits for college?

    Get some OCBDs, solid color t-shirts, cardigans, chinos, dark jeans, slim simple sneakers, loafers, etc. As long as everything fits well and you're color coordinated, you'll look better than most of your peers. In college, you just give off a dbag vibe wearing a suit everyday.
