    Which laptops fit into SAB Westminster Wrap SS?

    I just found out that this briefcase has an option for a laptop compartment. Anyone has experience carrying laptops in it? Would you recommend going for that option, or it has some downsides? (If necessary, I can avoid carrying a laptop in this bag.) If I do order the compartment, would a 15"...

    Burnt Pine Antique vs Edwardian Antique

    I'm planning to buy (MTO) EG Falkirk, and can't decide between these two colors. I didn't see either of them in a store, but both look amazing in photos (to my eye..). Anyone has seen both and might be able to offer advice? Some pictures...

    Edward Green Appreciation: Pictures, Info, and Where to Buy

    Do your comments about burnt pine (not being pleasing on its own, but appealing with navy/mid-grey trousers) apply to burnt pine antique as well? I saw this picture, and I thought it might be one of my all-time favorite colors. I might be misled by the fact that I'm looking at the photo...

    Any particular brands you recommend to look at? I never bought anything at Nordstrom besides shoes.

    Nordstrom sale advice

    Is there anything besides the AE shoes that is particularly worth looking at during the Nordstrom sale this July? I was thinking shirts, sports jackets, trousers, ties, but I'm not sure if any quality brands go on sale. Thanks!

    Shoes to wear with a sports jacket

    Thanks. I like C&J Alex a lot, but I'm on the US west coast, so it's a bit difficult to get a pair. I'll try them on when I'm in the east coast or in London. Any other suggestions? =)

    Shoes to wear with a sports jacket

    I have a sports jacket, but no shoes to wear with it. I have looked at AE Park Ave, AE Leeds, Alden Longwings #8, etc. I liked AE Park Ave but I felt they remind me of a business setting too much (for which case I prefer C&J Westbourne by far). I found AE Leeds and Alden too bulky for my...

    Shopping for a RTW suit in London (under ~1300 pounds)

    I live in California but visiting London now. I was thinking to buy a RTW suit up to ~$2000 (1300 pounds or so). My problem is that I don't really know how to tell a good fit. Is there any store where I can trust the sales people? And do you have any particular brand recommendations...

    Shoe trees cost / Crockett & Jones

    C&J uses trees designed for each last... So I suppose I should buy it from them then. And I can't share 1 tree for several pairs of shoes, right? That is, a shoe should always be on a tree when not worn? I'm used to tree priced at $20 in the US, so the £60 here in the UK was quite surprising.

    Shoe trees cost / Crockett & Jones

    At Crockett & Jones there are 2 pairs of shoe trees: "regular" and "luxury"; the cheaper one is £60. I must be missing something. I assume each shoe must be stored with a shoe tree. Does it means that a shoe tree adds 20% to the price of the shoe (the shoe is ~£300-350)? Or can I buy...

    ***THE OFFICIAL Los Angeles Chat Thread***

    I'm in Orange County. My only suit shopping experience was with Brooks Brothers about 10-15 years ago. It was a Brooksease suit for $400 or so (?), and I felt like I was buying a car. I haven't bought a suit since then, but I did stop by Nordstrom Rack and Jos A Bank a few times, without...
