    Bump. Any opinions on this? Thanks.

    Places to get a suit pressed in NYC?

    Can someone give me an idea of what Hallak might charge to dryclean a tuxedo? I know the general philosophy is to dryclean only when necessary, and to steam otherwise, but even lacking stains or some other visible distress, does there actually come a point (a certain number of wearings, or a...

    Is a polyester/rayon suit a bad idea?

    In my experience, a blend may look great off the rack, or even after a couple of wearings, but inside of a year, it will start to wear like crap. The fibers won't respond well to drycleaning, it won't drape naturally, it'll start to pill slightly and/or shine, etc. That said, if you need a...

    Anybody familiar with Eduardo G shoes

    I imagine all of the Daffy's selection were seconds. The insole of this pair, I didn't realize until afterwards, is maybe a quarter inch short of the toe, and the coloration is a bit uneven, but I would imagine that's easily corrected. I've already worn them a few times without even worrying...

    Anybody familiar with Eduardo G shoes

    This thread is the only substantive informational reference that came up when I Googled Eduardo G. shoes. I've bought 4 pairs over the last couple of months, at one Daffy's or another in NYC. It would have been 6 pairs, but the other two styles I liked haven't been in stock in my size. At...

    Where to copy cheap H&M pants in New York?

    I want more. I've actually had them duplicated at Mr Ned once, but was not entirely pleased with the result. For starters, they only work in wool and I am looking to use a similar fabric as the original. I went to Hong Kong Jack this week and was quoted $500 fabric included. This is about twice...

    Poll: pro cooks - do you sharpen your own knives?

    I came this close to putting Anne Hathaway as an option but chickened out. Besides, the topic is sharp knives, not sharp knees.

    Blazer Buttons - Shanked?

    Margaret: Save yourself the trouble of slogging through the garment district. Head straight for Tender Buttons on East 62nd Street (Just off Lexington Avenue). It's Buttons Central -- gorjuss stuff -- in a twelve-foot-wide ground floor shop. Seek and yee shall find the best blazer buttons...

    Blazer Buttons - Shanked?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'm not concerned with sartorial 'correctness' as much as avoiding buying buttons that I might end up thinking look really odd once they're sewn on. I guess I'll just see what I find and take it from there.

    Blazer Buttons - Shanked?

    Should a blazer necessarily have shanked buttons? Or does it matter? Heading into the garment district in NYC to see sort of options I can find.
