    Grey Suit/White Shirt/Brown Tie/Black shoes?

    I have a wedding to attend in a couple weeks and was planning on wearing a medium-grey suit with a white shirt and a chocolate brown tie with blue pin-dots. To me, the brown tie would mean I should wear brown shoes, but I know black is more appropriate for evenings. Can I wear the brown tie...

     No where near as quick as the one Esquire did. I can barely remember the name - Cladmen?

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Here is a new Benjamin. I am wondering if this jacket is too small or if I am just not used to wearing a suit that is this slim. I am 5' 10" and 185 lbs. This is a 52R. My two main concerns are 1) the shoulders (divots?) and 2) the back (does my butt make the vent push out too much?)

    I received my Classico today (41/42R) - very nice suit, but I think I have the same question as New Shoes1. I am 5' 10" 185 lbs. I can go down to a 40R in most Hickey Freeman and I would say that a 52R Canali fits me pretty darn good off the rack. I am wondering if this jacket is too small...

    Help me recreate this style: Blue faced Omega watch with red leather band.

    Very nice. I thought, from a previous post that you were looking at a replica. I believe that's a Seiko, correct? (can't quite tell) A real Seiko is better than a fake anything. I have a couple Seiko Divers that I have beat the crap out of and they have held up like champs. Great value for...

    Help me recreate this style: Blue faced Omega watch with red leather band.

    The only crook in this story are the watch conglomerates who charge suckers $5000 for $100 worth of product. Also, it's not illegal to buy them. Nothing "disgusting" about it. It looks just as stylish as the Omega. :embar: I know people need to rationalize purchases where the return...

    Ben - can I ask you to comment on the fit pics posted by Nandreetta? For a 42R the jacket looks a bit more "boxey" than I would expect. Is there any waist suppression at all? It looks to me more like a Hickey Freeman-type cut. Am I seeing this wrong?

    Critique the fit of Suit Supply Sportcoat

    Not sure if this is the appropriate thread to ask this question, but does anyone know how Suit Supply quality would compare to the Benjamin suits from Ehaberdasher? They are very similar price points.

    Can I wear this suit to work? Plaid Suit

    Along the same lines - I'm digging this Canali and it's on sale. I think I could pull this off at work. Is this OK for weddings, etc? Where is this suit appropriate?

    Dress boots for the airport security lines

     I travel a couple weeks a month and I find three eyelet chukkas to be very convenient, as well. Easy on and easy off.

    Can I wear this suit to work? Plaid Suit

    Absolutely! I would stick to a white or blue shirt and solid tie, though.

    Are these considered square toe shoes?

     Justin Beiber is ever so popular . . . and so are Affliction shirts . . . and Dockers . . .

    "Non- Cashmere" sweaters for the office (solids, crew and v -neck) - Ideas and Recommendations?

    They may not be the quality you are looking for, but I am a big fan of the Banana Republic v-neck Merinos. They can be had now for about $30-$40, too.
