    Do you find it tough to buy chinos in the correct size? ...

    If the issue is just the length of the inseam, you can always buy chinos with longer inseams than you normally wear, and spend an extra $8 to get it hemmed. You can ask if Sears will hem them for you.

    What do you do when you forget your cuff links ?

    +1 on paper clips. Made the mistake of traveling with French cuffs shirts, but no cuff links. Only realized it minutes away before going off for a meeting. I'm pretty sure no one noticed my lovely metal knot.

    how to achieve a high, stiff collar

    +1 on Wurkin stiffs. Even works on cutaway collars (though it looks weird). Collar stays, slightly pointed collars will help. Jantzen collars are quite horrible, unless you opt one without the interlinings. They don't give enough space for shrinkage between the collar interlining and collar...

    Can this blazer be altered or tailored to fit my measurements?

    The jacket seems a littler far off from what you normally wear. First off, shoulders are 1 inch off, which will be difficult to alter. That should be a red sign. Of course depends on how much shoulder padding your bespoke or intended jackets have. Second, the length is more than an inch off...

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    So probably a stupid question, but picked up a few of the TM Lewin slim fit Windsor collar shirts. I've never bought a shirt with this kind of collar before and the spread is wider than I'm used to. Obviously a Windsor knot would work, but is there anything else I can try as well? Is a half...

    The search for the right pants

    You can always get a cheaper pair of pants that fits properly on the top block, then spend $15 to alter the legs to your desired specifications. I do this often with pretty much all of my pants.

    Which undershirts work best under sheer dress shirts?

    I've recently bought a few grey under tanktops. It really works under white shirts. I find that it also depends on the shade of your skin. I have a tanned skintone, darker greys work better.

    What Slim Fit shirts do you buy for bussiness attire?

    I have 1 Duke of York and 1 Windsor slim fit shirts from TM Lewin. Both fit the same in the body, but the sleeve width and armhole on the Duke of York are much bigger than the Windsor. The shirt tail on the Windsor is longer and more curved than the York (not good if you want to tuck out as...

    An iGent asks: how are my jeans?

    Better representation of his jeans. Nothing wrong with his fit. Mafoo does have giant clown feet. Tapered jeans would accentuate them.

    Designing a new suit - what details are you looking for?

    Looks good. Would love to see more detailed pictures of the construction and fit. If it's still below the $500 range, I would definitely be up to make a purchase.

    SUPERFUTURE GHETTO thread: All things Supertalk

    The general layout of the main site is fine. But something about the updates listings, forums, blog, etc, that makes it difficult to read. Not enough contrast, and space to separate the contents. Not to mention, the new green colour used is ugly.

    Suit hangers

    Target sells nice wodden ones with wide broad shoulders and rubberized pant stills for about $3 each.

    Is any of the Lands End stuff for men good?

    Their knit ties are nice and inexpensive; made from the same Italian factory as most other knit tie brands.
