    My Christmas Gift to a 39-40R

    Twas the day after Christmas On late night TV When the screen showed George Zimmer screaming at me His bad suit was hung off his body and looked Like the skin of a jackass that got overcooked His necktie was tied with a small, crappy knot A pattern that looked like some petrified snot And he...

    Kelly on "The Apprentice"

    I could not agree more...sloppy, slipping tie knots were a chronic problem this year with the men...John in particular-he probably wore the best suits, shirts and ties amongst the male contestants, but tied huge Windsor knots that he just couldn't keep tied under spread collars. On the Boardroom...

    Kelly on "The Apprentice"

    So, Kelly wins the big award (and YES, I was rooting for Jen) and takes a position in Trump's organization. But did anyone else notice what a completely crappy suit the guy had on? The jacket was too short, poorly tailored around the neck and shoulders and GULP it was a 6 to 2 Double Breasted...

    French Cuffs

    I have gotten to the point where I am phasing out all barrel-cuffed shirts from my business wardrobe. I just don't feel "dressed" anymore unless I have French Cuffs-they just give that extra-sharp edge. So here is what I am wondering: Why so many warnings about not wearing them to...

    Why do men button the top button of a three button

    Have you ever been that bold to correct anyones fashion faux pas? Yes, if shouting at the television when the weather man has all 3 of a 3b sb done up, or a huge windsor knot fighting for space between his straight cut collars counts. Better still has anyone ever had someone try to correct their...

    Three-Piece Suits, Button Suit Coat or Not?

    Tonight on the NYC ABC affiliate, the weather guy Lee Goldberg (who usually dresses pretty well) was in one of his three-piece suits. The suit coat as 3-button SB and he kept the top two buttons fastened while he was seated and while he stood up to do the weather. What is the ettiquite/ logic on...

    Time Warner Center NYC

    There are a few notable grocery exceptions here in NYC such as Fairway, but generally Manhattan grocery shopping is the pits. You have to go to specialty shops if you want to get good stuff. The Joesph Abboud store aside, there is not much to reccomend in the Time Warner Center. It is more of...

    Clothing Pet Peeves - what are yours?

    (gregory @ 02 Nov. 2004, 09:10) It is easy to generate the list. The New York City subway provides tons of inspiration for me everyday. Completely agree. Â I think the biggest thing is that no men wear good shoes anymore. Â The unpolished, black, square-toed, rubber sole shoe is ubiquitous, even...

    Three-Piece Suits, Back With a Vengeance?

    Well, I am on the cusp of young man/ old man in my mid-30s. Â But I have to say, evert time I go to work in my three-piece I never fail to get at least a dozen compliments; from male and female collegues, support staff, strangers-you name it. Â The one that I have been wearing to work is a solid...

    Three-Piece Suits, Back With a Vengeance?

    I really like three piece suits and am having one made for me right now from a local tailor (who does excellent work).  I'm 31, and I don't think the look is too stuffy at all, although I wouldn't wear one every day.  Wearing a vest makes for a nice break from the routine.  I think stuffiness...

    Three-Piece Suits, Back With a Vengeance?

    Ok, so I have been seeing three-piece suits on a more regular basis here in Manhattan over the last three years; and have seen a lot more in catalogs and in stores (and now own one and have another on the way).  But last night on the local ABC affiliate I saw no less than three men with vested...

    Big presentation...suit advice

    Hey guys... Just wanted to update you all; the presentation went great-it would be egotistical to say I LOOKED like a million bucks but I definately FELT like it. I got so many complimenets on the three-piece that day, I am going to order a charcoal gray, pinstripe one from Hickey Freedman here...

    Crossover vest with peak lapels

    Can I ask a question about lapels on vests in general?  A guy visited my office in Rockefeller Center last month wearing a solid grey three-piece with notch lapels on the vest.  He was a very distinguished type, salt and pepper hair and thick mustache...so the overall effect was major power...

    Sounds very good. Now tell the truth; aren't you glad you weren't wearing slacks and a blazer?
