    I picked up a pair of AE Jeffersons and need to get some shoe trees. Is there a particular set I should get? I've had problems in the past with shoe trees being of a shape that doesn't jive with the shoe I'm trying to use it with.

    Corneliani silk and linen at Saks outlet for $200, retail was supposedly $2k (hah) . Kind of ridiculous, but I have an urge to pull the trigger. Thoughts?

    Before I pull the trigger, is there any difference between "Venetian Leather Balm" and "Venetian shoe cream"? I'm assuming no but given the huge price disparity wanted to be sure. Thanks!

    Leaving soon for a wedding, can't find my brown belt, will this work?

    Wonderful, thank you! If two people end up in the same suit (only so many lower priced navy suits out there) will that make it look odd or do I just need to separate them in the lineup?

    Another wedding question... Going with non-uniform navy suits if someone ends up in something like either of the below will that be OK or do I at least need to keep them all in more plain navy?

    I read the article which strongly suggested to not have the groomsmen match (which I am all about), however, if the bridesmaids already have dresses in the exact same color will it look odd if the groomsmen end up obviously less uniform in different shades of navy?

    I'm looking for a trip fit, off white, spread collar dress shirt (possibly french cuff) however I've found it is (not surprisingly) much harder to find off white than white. So far I've found an ivory twill at Proper Cloth and an ecru twill at Hamilton Shirts. Any other suggestions? This is...

    I'm possibly getting a MTM suit done for my wedding in June. All of the fabrics the tailor was showing me were "summer weight" 8.5oz or less. I found one I really like but it's only 7oz and based on what I've read really light fabrics don't drape or hold up their shape as well. I expressed...

    How much can a suit jacket's chest and waist be taken in without messing it up? I picked up a Zegna suit in a Trofeo fabric I absolutely love at a great price but it's a size too big (54EU vs 52EU).

    How is the quality of Reda fabric? Is it comparable to Zegna? I'm looking at the possibility of getting a suit made and one of the fabrics I liked was a Reda 120s but I know very little about fabrics.
