    Shoe Recommendations for a Beginner

    I agree that AE is not necessarily the be-all and end-all, though I do like some of their styles, and own a pair of Leeds in shell cordovan. For some different looks in your price range, you might check out the sale items at Moreschi. The Mirano and the Cordeno are a couple of relatively...

    Do Any of You Starch Your Shirts?

    I wouldn't know first-hand, as I have always found that a fresh press and collar stays have been enough for a crisp presentation. But every source I've ever read discourages this practice, as it prematurely wears out shirts.

    Burnished suede boots from J. Crew

    Hey, I was wondering what everyone thinks of these boots from J. Crew. Personally, I much prefer Clarks desert boots. The "burnished" ones just look like worn out boots that need a suede brush taken to them. The non-distressed ones are OK, but I couldn't see paying over 40% more for them, as...

    Best Potato Chips

    The original Cape Cod chip is still excellent in my book. One I had recently was the Route 11 Dill Pickle. Pretty strong. Gotta go with Cape Cod chips, too. Even the reduced fat ones are excellent.

    What do I order at a bar if I can't drink?

    Tonic and lime. It tastes just like a gin and tonic. I know it's similar, but my non-alcoholic drink of choice is club soda or seltzer with lime. I'm not a fan of quinine sans gin.

    Healthy Snack Foods?

    Anyone have any suggestions for good snack foods that are healthy and don't taste like cardboard? In terms of "traditional" snack foods, I am a big fan of soy crisps, which are now widely made in many flavors by a number of companies. Much lower cal than fried snacks, and contain some soy...

    college grad help with dress shoes

    ...don't underestimate the conservativism of dark brown wingtips. The reason the other interns aren't wearing them might be because they think of them as older-person or executive shoes. But if your superiors know the conservative business sartorial traditions, a pair might make you stand out in...

    Black Pants/Brown Shoes Casual Attire (Pic): Cast your vote

    Black on black is okay but far from sleek. It takes the most pedestrian of people to say "I'm gonna wear all black tonight, its gonna get so much cooch" and voila, its duplicated. Well, all black wasn't what I had in mind, unless you are appearing on Sprockets.

    Notched Heel on shoes-mean anything?

    This will make some people on here gasp, convulse, etc. but in a pinch I bought a pair of black Moreschi's full price at the madison ave store a few weeks ago. I just noticed the inside corner of the heels are cut/notched out. Does this mean something, like the shoe was returned previously...

    Black Pants/Brown Shoes Casual Attire (Pic): Cast your vote

    I voted no, mainly because I think black on black is a much sleeker look. I am one of the (few?) people in this forum who doesn't have an immediate bias against black shoes. Although I understand and accept brown shoes are usually the more stylish choice - and my shoe closet reflects that - I...

    Well, my Leeds burgundy shells just arrived and look and feel spectacular. I can't help feeling like I got away with something!

    50% off many AE styles at Endless.com

    Endless e-mailed me last night to say that my Leeds shells shipped, and according to UPS tracking, they're out for delivery. I'll post a confirmation if they do make it. I am really sorry to hear that they screwed a bunch of honest customers. It's horrible customer service and just wrong.

    blake, bologna, norvogese, and goodyear welting

    This link from Santoni''s USA website gives illustrations of Bentivegna, Blake-Rapid, Bologna, and Goodyear, with labels in English. Not perfect, as I would like to see a better text-based description, but might be of some use. http://www.santonishoesusa.com/SAboutConstruction.aspx
