    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    That is an excellent and creative suggestion! Unfortunately the logistics of squeezing in a London trip on top of some other planned travel (not to Europe) will probably rule that option out for me. But I appreciate the idea!

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Great, will rule that out. Out of curiosity, should I expect $5k, $6k, more...? Thanks for the suggestions - will do. I have certainly seen this opinion here, hence me asking about it. I have not seen any good explanation for what about it is garbage-y other than in their mass-market lines...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy my first tuxedo for - stop me if you've heard this before - my upcoming wedding in April. I've read through the Styleforum black tie guide, which was extremely helpful. My budget is up to $4,000 (excluding shoes), but if I can find something I really like for less I...

    ***The official Alden thread *** Share enthusiasm, reviews, sizing, advice, and photos.

    Just want to post a positive note on Alden's customer service. In short: I recently had a pair of boots recrafted, a problem appeared after a few wears, and 20 minutes after an email with a picture they said they were sending me a pre-paid mailer for repair. Obviously we'd all prefer that...

    Does one remove brand tags from flatcaps?

    I believe the little "Stetson" button you're referring to is their equivalent of the LaCoste alligator - i.e. advertising that their customers pay for the privilege of displaying - and is not intended to be removed. But it's your hat, so knock yourself out.

    Reasons why New York Sucks

     I was once punched in the face by a deranged man as I walked past him, in broad daylight on a weekday in Midtown, just off of 5th Ave. At Christmas time, no less. That was fun. Fortunately he was significantly shorter than me and got a bad angle on his punch, so it was more shocking than...
