    Suitsupply NYC

    Starting a new job in two weeks that will require me to wear a suit everyday. I live in Manhattan so I've decided to check Suitsupply out this evening and get fitted for 2-3 new suits. I'm on the larger side -- 6 foot, 235 pounds, broad shoulders and stocky. Anything I should know about what...

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

     I have a suit, but it's a few years old and I already wore it to my first round of interviews this past week. After thinking about it, I'll probably just stick with the same suit for now but instead get a new shirt and tie combo for the next set of interviews Tuesday.

     Haha, good point and I'm planning on stopping there this evening but I was hoping to get an idea of some alternatives that may give you a better value. Oh, I just found out the interview is this Tuesday afternoon.

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

I live in NYC and am about 6 foot, 235 pounds, 40/42" waist. I want something with pretty decent quality (at least that of Brooks...

    I hate my feet: Are MTO shoes my only option?

    Yes, there is a fee according to AE's website but a small price to pay for comfort. Other than AE, are there any other companies who have a similar program? What about the next tier up of makers such as C&J? I'm just looking for an idea of all the options I have at my disposal. Thanks for...

    I hate my feet: Are MTO shoes my only option?

     So is purchasing MTO shoes in two different sizes my only option? If so, what companies offer good MTO value around the Allen Edmonds price point ($400)? I'm looking for other vendors that do custom/MTO rather than just Allen Edmonds.

    I hate my feet: Are MTO shoes my only option?

    First things first, I hate my feet. They're way too wide and my left foot is an entire size bigger than my right foot. My at home measurements indicate that my left foot is 10 3/4 inches long and 4 1/2 inches wide -- according to a chart I found on the internet this should be a 10.5 EEE. My...

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

    This post is to commend Allen Edmonds customer service (they're great and patient) over my recent shoe buying experience. I finally decided to invest in some quality shoes for work/formal events and in the past eight months I've purchased two different pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes (Park Avenues...

    Need Advice: Starting Shoe Collection

    I started a new job in NYC with a professional services firm this past December. I've come to realize I need a few pairs of good shoes for my wardrobe and have been doing some research but would like others opinions. I don't wear a suit often, I'm still a grunt and rarely see clients, so I...
