    Best Chesterfield RTW Coat (cost irrespective)

    Actually, I picked one up on eBay last year for a whopping $47. It was vintage, which means it has details you don't find today, (such as tickng around the edge and velvet lined pockets). I had the tailor lengthen the sleeves so no cuff would be showing and replace the velvet collar which was a...

    What suit color fits olive tone person?

    So SA told me to stay away from charcoal or light grey.....and i was like isn't that 50% of the all men's suit color? lol Wrong. Olive skin goes very well with light gray. There's a post on A Suitable Wardrobe about it too.

    Your Thoughts On JCrew

    It bothers me that the J Crew mens suiting does not include the details that their women suits do such as pic stitching and surgeon's cuffs. Also, although the construction is the same, the men's suits are usually 1/3 more in cost. For the rest of it it's geared towards college kids or those...

    Sartorialist Send-Up

    What got me was the "older posts" where there's a pic and the simple comment "That Tail!' So Sart.

    Sartorialist Send-Up

    While I like Sart's photo skills I don't always appreciate his point of view. I'm trying to decide where the author of this come down on it: http://thecatorialist.blogspot.com/

    What's the purpose of driving mocs?

    I keep a pair in my MG for longish trips which for me would be longer than an hour. For around the house I use slippers.

    collar expanders - ok or no?

    I'm sorry, but I wonder how many of the "no's" actually have had to wear them... First, given the health issues associated with wearing even moderately tight collars, (google it) expanders should be in everypne's furninshings box. Second, it's a matter of proportion. If we're talking about a...

    Pencil Stripes with Pin Stripes

    Hi, I'm looking at picking up some shirts and I was wondering what people thought of wearing white pencil-striped shirts with pinstripe suits. Is it too much? Especially with a striped tie? Most of my suits are blue or charcoal pinstripes and while I'm looking at black and/or navy...

    Help me make use of this Etro jacket! (Fashion newbie).

    And don't wear the jacket with a black or colorful turtleneck, unless you want an "affected" look. Completely disagree. You may think it's affected, but for most it's only affected if the person wearing it is affected. It's a matter of perception, and you need to admit you bring your point of...

    AmJack Alert!

    You need to tell him that business casual is one step down from business dress. If you wouldn't wear it in an office you shouldn't wear it to the venue. So, given that you're in AZ dress shirts are in, and jeans are out. But I have to say, the women have to wear cocktail dresses, but the guys...

    The Perfect Navy Blazer?

    Blazers are great odd jackets, but there is less room for error with them, I think, because ill-fitting, bad-looking blazers are seen everywhere as costume or uniform. +1 Outside of colleges and country clubs the blue blazer is the default look for those that don't know how to dress or what...

    Haircut: is the shirt collar touched by hair?

    Here is my question: I am working hard on a good looking suit and shirt collar. Can the haircut ruin the appeareance? No, but you can. Seriously, despite parochial opinions, some people can pull it off and some can't. Ultimately it comes down to whether or not it gets you babes. And babes don't...

    who should rock the chalk

    Chalkstripes are also slimming and give the illusion of height, which for many men are desirable qualities in a suit regardless of the circumstances. Oh, and I'm an investment banker, and you see stripes or not regardless of one's position in the company. In the end people either look good in...

    Brass buttons for Blazer - or not?

    The whole look is too collegiate or country club, and is too often the default look for guys that don't know how to dress or what to wear. When I see someone wearing one I can't help but think "nice buttons Admiral."
