    Nappa leather jackets

    There seems to be a contradiction with lamb nappa leather - many people say it is luxury and soft but others say it looks like cheap faux leather due to the slight shine. I tried one on which is Italian leather but there is just something about the shine that is dubious. From searching on...

    Sebago or Sperrys with these trousers?

    I have been trying to do my homework rather than start this thread, but I am too clueless. Will a boat shoe go with trousers likes these or not? I have two pairs of trousers that I bought for warmer weather. The above navy pair for the breathable material, and a pair of light beige casual...

     Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking of getting a slim fit linen shirt at one time. That is pretty dumb come to think of it since I don't work in an office or anything. I decided to keep it. The arms are no looser than other linen shirts, and the Banana Republic Grant Fit has a good slim fit...

    Are loose fitting upper arms in Linen shirts considered as bad a fit as with other shirts?? I returned a Uniqlo shirt a while back as the arms were just far too loose - similar to the inside of the right arm in this photo with a lot of excess material (I notice many retailers try to hide excess...

    Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

    Bought this Yves Saint Laurent jacket. I am suspicious because of the low quality of the metal used for the zipper. Also, the labels on the inside have some Chinese company and writing which is obviously weird. The rest of the jacket seems to be of a very good quality including the material...

    Are these OK as a fit for regular fit denim? They are a German make called "Brax" and although they feel fitted around the waist and seat, they are loose everywhere below, and at the front this starts from the area near the fly. I have been wearing fitted jeans so I'm not used to seeing loose...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    Hi guys, I'm having trouble deciding between these chukka boots. The first one is "Frank Wright - Smith" and looks more casual and has a low heel, which I like as I am tall. The second one Is "Hudson - Viking" and seems less casual to me. One issue is that I don't know whether the darker...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    Just remember that the Asian Uniqlos are shorter in the sleeves and probably the body as well. For some reason I have found all Uniqlo t-shirts and Polo shirts to be longer in the body this year in the stores in London. The Polo shirts are a perfect fit in medium and I'm 6ft 5. I also tried on...

    RULES for the tall and skinny man

    hey guys, any ideas about shorts for the summer? or swimming trunks? Are you asking about what not to wear? I would give my right arm to be able to wear shorts, but my skinny legs just don't make it possible. It's not so much the calf muscle which is around 14.5 inches around, but it's the...

    What do people think of this colour? I want it to go with my desert boots which are a camel colour. First of all will it go? Secondly, does this look like a natural spring colour, or is there something artificial about it? I usually hate beige, but I tried a nice beige short sleeved shirt on...
