    Can box pleats on the backs of shirts be removed or otherwise altered? Or sewn down?

    I have a nice oxford shirt which I really like, except it has a center box pleat. Even when the shirt is ironed, the box pleat hangs open, and it opens wider and wider throughout the day. This makes the shirt puff out over my back and look very stupid. It's really annoying. Is there a way to...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    Can anyone recommend some boots like Clarks with a narrower fit overall, especially in the heel? A leather sole would be a plus as well. And under $200! Leather is ok, since winter is coming and suede in the rain is a lost cause. My current pair of Clarks are wearing out, and I think I might...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    I'm going to Japan in a month and I think I'm going to try and buy a nice pair of sunglasses there. Can you recommend a few brands to look at? I think my max budget is $250. I already found a brand called Effector which looks interesting. I'm looking for something vintage-inspired/classy. Also...

    chuck taylors versus vans 106 surf for "slightly dressy"

    None of those shoes are remotely dressy. Try Clarks Desert Boots.

    Can Chuck Taylors be comfortable shoes?

    My problem with them is that my heel rubs, and eventually it wears away the canvas lining in the heel. Then a tacky plastic liner is exposed, and makes holes in my socks. It isn't a sizing issue. I can't go down a size anyway. I wear size 9.5 because my toes hit the end of a size 9 when I walk...

    Is there a rule against wearing a hat without also wearing a jacket?

    I don't know, but there ought to be. It looks stupid.

    Do any members have experience with Aspinal wallets?

    I am shopping for a new wallet, and I have this one particularly in mind: http://www.aspinaloflondon.com/eshop...d-cobalt-suede It looks nice, and the price seems very good for the quality. Do any members have any of these wallets? How soft and strong is the leather? Do the suede parts not...

    Where to get casual made to measure clothing online

    I have had enough weird size inconsistency and variance with the standard RTW Lands' End clothing to be very wary of going near the MTM stuff. At least the warranty is good. The shirt fabrics are actually pretty good for the price, at least on the RTW shirts. The wool they use for the trousers...

    Basic Fashion Do's and Don'ts

    I didn't see this yet, so I'll post it here: Men need to stop wearing their pants too long. This is NOT HARD. Hemming is cheap.

    38R comes with 32 waist pants. BUT...

    Well, unless the 32 fits your seat and thighs better. If that is the case, you should take the 32 in. Pick the pants that fit the best there and then adjust the waist to match your own. Nothing worse than a guy who should be wearing larger pants being shoehorned into a smaller size because of...

    The official thrift/discount store bragging thread

    I found an Oxxford quarter-lined jacket (Manhattan model?) at a local store, size 40R. I didn't buy it yet because I have a question: It is very baggy on me throughout the entire torso, although it fits me fine in the shoulders. It would need to be taken in about 4 inches in the chest. I am a...
