Entry Level Business Formal Shoes
+1 Johnston and Murphy. You can get a pair of Meltons (their lowest price captoes) on Amazon for somewhere around $100 right now depending on your shoe size. You can always use them as rain shoes when you add a pair of AE's to the wardrobe.- WorkingOnIt

Hickey freeman suits
I can't vouch for all, but at least some Vanguard suits are mainline and fully canvased. Vanguard used to be a mainline suit model with a trimmer fit with higher armholes than the Madison mainline. I think the Vanguard model was phased out about 3 years ago.- WorkingOnIt

How to keep my pants up?
While it may break some cardinal rule on formality, white braces will blend in with a white shirt. Thurston makes white braces with a silver adjuster. If you don't want to stand out for wearing braces, that is one option.- WorkingOnIt

Who makes a decent non-iron OTR dress shirts with a 80-90 degree collar and at least a 7.5cm collar
This seems like a dumb request, but I figured I would pose it in case anyone know. Does anyone know where to find a decent non-iron OTR dress shirt with an 80-90 degree collar and at least a 7.5cm collar point? Backstory: I prefer having my collar points underneath the lapels, but I dislike...- WorkingOnIt

Advice for undergraduate
Agreed on avoiding worsted. I would disagree ever so slightly on the slim fit--less billowy without going to the tight end of the spectrum--as I find it generally better, though it is ultimately personal preference. Regarding dress shoes, I don't want to seem absolutist but I generally...- WorkingOnIt

Advice for undergraduate
+1 on the above. What does the average Northern U student dress like? I think that the average state of dress is something to be considered, as each school has their own style. Having said that, I think OCBD are perfect shirts for the college male. OCBD and polos can easily be the...- WorkingOnIt

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
I agree, I feel like it's maybe 1/2 an inch too wide from the back shoulder to shoulder. I defer to expertise as to whether cleaning up either from the sides or back will eliminate the shoulder and back issues that are there. In terms of the cuff, I'm fine with that much shirt cuff with...- WorkingOnIt

The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions
If anyone has comments on the viability of this jacket, I would much appreciate it. This tuxedo had waist suppression done but I'm not very happy with the fit as I rushed to have it for an event. It feels off even but I am at a loss as to how I want it done differently. The shoulder, back...- WorkingOnIt

Ryan Gosling's shirts
+1 If your issue is your collar "collapses" consider putting a slight bend into your metal collar stays. Personally, medium spread with metal stays work well. I've also found my hidden button downs do a good job at keeping the upright look. Buttondowns not so much. Lastly, don't forget...- WorkingOnIt

Zegna Shang
From my very limited understanding, Shang is a fabric type--90% wool and 10% silk--rather than an E. Zegna line or cut. I've seen suits on the internet made from Zegna Shang cloth and designed by others. So my guess would be that the suits you're looking at are either normal E. Zegna with a...- WorkingOnIt

Briefcase for law school
You will need a backpack or a large messenger bag. A bag the size of a normal size Timbuk2 is the smallest I would consider. If you have back to back classes, you will easily find yourself carrying 3+ large books, supplements, laptop, possibly a lunch, and water. I doubt you'll use that...- WorkingOnIt

The State of Black Tie: Your Observations
I do not think the modern rules of blacktie are set in stone. Personally, polished captoes win out over owning a special pair of patents. However, counterpoint to #2:- WorkingOnIt

Shoe polishing
Can't access, but I was taught the Kiwi polish and lighter method when I was younger. Just layer on two even coats, run a flame by it, buff, and repeat. I don't know what it did to the leather, but it would result in a high gloss.- WorkingOnIt
