    The WAYWT Discussion Thread

    Angle is awkward due to attempt to get cufflinks into shot. Guess I need more practice. NB: I just switched out the boldly-patterned belt to let the pants be the attention-getter.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Just received mine from Freeport, with mixed results. The Strawfut looks and feels great! The Kiowa, on the other hand, is going back. I do not see myself proudly sporting a mismatched pair of shoes. Had these been labeled seconds for any other reason, I likely would have kept them. I hope...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Not a tailor, but that jacket appears very fitted to me, Munsened. The second and third photos show that the shoulders should be wider, IMO. Are you comfortable moving about in that suit? When driving your car? Okay, back to minding my business.

    Do you ever feel like you've wasted money on clothing/clothing related items?

    Discounting your requirement that it be expensive, whatever I buy from The Gap ends up being a regrettable purchase. In general, anything that is today's fashion trend but not flattering will likely end up a regrettable purchase.

    Is Cashmere Overrated?

     Gauge is a relative measurement of thickness used for cylindrical products, such as shotgun shells, electrical wire, and apparently thread. The higher number is thinner. A 12 gauge shotgun shell is slimmer than a 10 gauge. My car battery cable is 4 gauge but my speaker wire is 22 gauge...

    A Proper Two Button Collar

    Anyone? Here's a pic of a shirt by Hilfiger, circa 2004. The button hole placement is similar to that of the blue shirt, above.

    A Proper Two Button Collar

    Gents, I could use some consensus: What exactly is the proper placement of button holes for a two-button collar? I just received my first shirts from an online MTM tailor. Both were ordered with the same two-button, wide-spread collar. To my surprise, the button holes are placed differently...

    AE Lombards at $190

     Ditto. Nordstrom has a legendary return policy.

    AE Lombards at $190

     Nordstrom's website says the sale goes until Aug 1. The link is broken to the Van Ness. I tried searching for it on AE but failed to find it. Sorry.

    AE Lombards at $190

    Instead of the Park Ave you could get one of the rubber-soled shoes from AE. Some are on clearance now. I believe they are built on last #2, whereas the Park Ave & Strand are built on last #5.

    How and where do you draw the line between chasing a girl and being on the wrong end of a harassment

    Is she flirty or coy when she comes up with an excuse to put off a date? She might be testing you. Is she simply ignoring you? Move on. Is she ever so polite and thoughtful when she says she is unable to make the date? She is mannered but not interested.

    Critique on shirt styles & adivce regarding fabric and collar

    Stripes offer a flattering, classic look, but they should not be your only look. Wider-spread collars accentuate the shoulders... and the knot of the necktie. If you choose a "wide spread" or "cutaway" collar, I would advise against OCBD. Regarding construction, a...
