    Responding to "the suit died for good reasons"

    Given that many of us on this forum are biased toward suit and tie, let's remove the specific clothing item from the equation. It is possible to dress "nicely," e.g. make oneself presentable or look "put together," without wearing a suit. Someone who cares about their appearance can make...

    Forum feels clogged

     The problem with forum search given a single section containing all of the above-mentioned threads is that even somewhat detailed searches yield far too many results, often a single phrase buried within a thread with tens of thousands of posts. The search tool is, in my experience...

    What to do about suit and sport jackets not fitting the naval properly?

    Great pics! The issue, as some have mentioned and as is neatly illustrated in these photos, is the rise of the trousers. The jacket should button and the pants waist should both locate approximately at the navel. The shirt/tie would then be covered by the jacket, even with open quarters, hands...

    Money Never Sleeps sartorial critique thread

    Try B&S or the bay Saw some the other day at DSW (in Columbus, OH) for like $200.

    BB Corporate Card

    Yes, the 15% corporate discount will work on the 3 for $199 shirts. I got my corporate discount card through my university's alumni association.

    Anyone ever had straight hair become curly?

    Do you have any parent/grandparents with curly hair? My paternal grandmother has somewhat curly hair, yes, but no one else.

    Anyone ever had straight hair become curly?

    It's genetics. You'll probably have wavy hair from now on. I should have clarified that, before I started cutting it short at age 18, I had all different lengths (including down to my shoulders) at different times, and it was never wavy or curly.

    Anyone ever had straight hair become curly?

    Okay, here's the story: I've always had straight hair. For the past 9 years (since I was 18), I've cut my hair short, basically as short as they could get it using scissors or sometimes using a #3 with the clippers. For the last 6 months or so I've been growing my hair out, so it's a few...

    French Cuff to Button Cuff conversion?

    I'd be interested in thoughts on this procedure as well, not in order to increase sleeve length, but because I have an abundance of french-cuff shirts and little reason anymore to wear them; I could get more use out of them if they had button cuffs.

    Sebago Classic Loafers - Underrated

    I did not, no. The shoes were pretty tight as it was. I should have returned them right off the bat, but I figured they'd stretch a bit. I did apply some moleskin pads to the back of the inside heel, to reduce the rubbing, but that didn't work out.

    Help with BB blazer

    The alteration is no problem to do. Brooks calls it "lower back at top", in case they don't understand what you want them to fix. Costs $10 or $15.

    Sebago Classic Loafers - Underrated

    I bought a pair of the Cayman IIs in my normal size (9D) and the tore up my heels, even with socks. The back of the shoe seemed abnormally high. I just purchased 3 larger sizes - 9E, 9.5D, and 9.5E - from Amazon to find a better fit. I ended up keeping the 9Es, but they still rub in certain...

    Non iron shirts?

    Welcome Kevin - A good search of this forum would tell you some of this, but here it is in one place - Non-iron is undesirable because the chemicals counter all the benefits of natural fibers. You sweat more and you can't bring them to a dry cleaner in a pinch. For good quality / low price...
