    What kind of men can wear bow ties gracefully on daily basis?

    i only have 3 bowties and don't really wear them that often, but i do like wearing them. for me at least, it depends on what suit/blazer i'm wearing. with my light blue seersucker, i'm more inclined to wear a bowtie. the same applies with a double-breasted suit where you dont get to see as...

    Suits with colored pinstripes

    i have a navy with aqua pin stripes. i think it's alright, although since it's a 3 button suit, coupled with the aqua stripes, it comes off as quite the power suit. i'm not quite as fond of the suit these days. my dad gave me one of his old bespoke suits from the 70s. it's probably one of my...

    best suit movie / suit movies top 10?

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    don't have any pics, but there was a pretty nice sale at Century 21 over the thanksgiving weekend. 25% off coupon on any one item you purchase. the rush in getting the deal was quite exciting since we only found out about the coupon when we got there and the store was closing, as was the deal...

    Tom Ford look?

    As an observer, I like the look. I see what TF is aiming for and it reminds me of the stuff my dad has from the 70's. The problem is TF doesn't seem practical for the professional office and frankly, I don't have the shape for it. i'm not very familiar with TF's suiting, but the descriptions...

    Are Designer Sunglasses Worth The Price?

    Cartier makes their own in France and they are light years ahead of all the aforementioned ones. i think i would cry if i lost an $800 pair of sunglasses.

    Conservative Suit for Law Firm Interviews -- BB or an Alternative?

    i've been pretty successful at just getting suits at thrift stores -- obviously it helps if you have a common body type -- a 42 can fit me just about perfectly off the rack so that might work for you if you're in a similar situation. while im originally from the bay area, i only started looking...

    Why a bow tie's not just for schmucks

    i only have two bow-ties but i think i'll be wearing them more often. im not sure if im quite comfortable wearing them to work, but going out here in NYC, it's definitely something that i've done before. people always comment on them when i wear them, but i don't mind. it looks and i guess if i...

    (Uniquely different) Shopping in NYC Thread

    century 21 is a good option for ties. you'll go nuts there. it's a bit sad that some of their ties are damaged, but you can get good brands there in the 50-80 range. tom fords are 80 bucks. same with brioni i think. the large fashion house ties (armani, prada, etc) are about 60 bucks. they...
