    The Controversy over Super Wools

    Kronik you are one of the most obnoxious f*ktards on this forum. Please stop being belligerent to Will, whose posts are massively more informed, helpful and mature than your childlike combativeness. It's not his fault you can't do a simple search of the archives.

    Which Would You Rather Have More Of?

    Not really, when you think about it. *My sole assumption would be that you have enough clothes to at least fill up a washing machine. If not, then yeah, you'll be doing laundry more often, simply because you run out of clothes before you fill up the machine. Edit: ok, there's a second...

    Brooks Brothers Return/Exchange Policy

    A good advocate should know that ad hominem attacks, profanity, conclusory statements, rhetorical questions and sarcasm carry no weight in a discussion in any forum devoted to the exchange of views on any topic. If you want to continue this discussion on its merits, feel free. Otherwise, to...

    Dress shoes with jeans.

    I have a large big toe (but a relatively narrow instep). It looks like that big toe box would be really comfortable. I may well have to visit Budapest soon.

    Brooks Brothers Return/Exchange Policy

    The norms of contract law require you to return to a vendor a suit, originally bought and sold in good faith, when you work out so much that your suit size changes in the interim? What on earth are you talking about? Nobody is being "ripped off" in the circumstances presented in this thread...

    Dress shoes with jeans.

    Harris -- top left in the very first picture = Vass? Those are the perfect jeans shoe IMO. I agree with drizzt, not only because my legs are kinda like his, but because you need a rugged 'country' last since jeans send a rugged cowboy kinda message.

    Brooks Brothers Return/Exchange Policy

    Thanks for your input! #1: If your (rather improbable) hypothetical were true -- BB isn't to blame for hiring and failing to train an incompetent suit salesman who knows nothing about suits? And the $1k cost of their negligence properly falls to me, a customer who reasonably relied on the...

    Brooks Brothers Return/Exchange Policy

    Not to go all preacher man on you, but people do bad things every day. I don't think we win by becoming like them. Totally a good point. I personally live by that rule with regard to social relations, family, etc. but feel I have to suspend it from time to time in purely material matters like...

    Brooks Brothers Return/Exchange Policy

    No such thing as personal integrity, eh? When I was a student and had no idea of the proper fit of a suit, a BB salesman sold me an extraordinarily mal-fitting suit and another odd jacket, totalling over $1000. The "moral" thing to do in this situation would have been to tell me to go elsewhere...

    They might, but I'm not sure that's the most moral thing to do. Never let morality come into play when doing business with huge clothing corporations. They sure don't!

    Suit Fabric Help (Chan)

    ^ I think you're approximately right. What you said is about what I remember. Edit: maybe a little less disparity ($1100 vs. $1450 or so).

    Suit Fabric Help (Chan)

    Vintage Gent, It doesn't make sense at all. I bought the H&S cloth directly, and it just cost USD420, how can they charge USD500 more on top of the VBC? Chan is making BIG money. True dat. The NYC H&S rep told me they sold it at USD$99/yard actually. Then she said she wasn't supposed to tell me...

    Looking for decent shirt alterations in NYC

    Where does Shirtmaven redommend them for shirts ? http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...ino#post510418 I think it's $20 to take the sides in on a dress shirt. He gets the pins just right with me. gdl this confuses me too. There are two distinct ones that come up on Google Maps.

    Looking for decent shirt alterations in NYC

    Cardelino, Broadway between 22nd and 23rd. Really great. Shirtmaven, a veteran custom shirtmaker on this forum, recommends him. Otherwise read this: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=11723

    Do H&M dress shirts shrink?

    I was surprised by these shirts too. I even found a white one in a spread collar and slim fit. My sleeves shrank maybe 1/4 inch after one delicate wash. Also, the shirt may honeycomb quite a bit inside the elbows, so account for that.
