    Black chinos... worth keeping a pair in the wardrobe?

    There are a number of shades of khaki, from almost white to a dark British tan that all work. Other than that, I only like red. Lots of people wear olive green too.

    Brooks Brothers Black Friday deals?

    I ordered 2 cashmere sweaters, a pair of gray flannels and a belt strap during a 25% F&F sale at the end of September. One sweater and the belt shipped within a week. The pants were canceled on me as sold out and unavailable. The second sweater, a black turtleneck is currently showing a...

    Black chinos... worth keeping a pair in the wardrobe?

    Black chinos are virtually unwearable. Don't waste your money.

    I know of Arthur Kade only via Google. I am too small-timer for Le Bec-Fin. Also, allergic to half of the menu there. Being allergic is big-time small-time.

    Guess who and the shoe!

    If Vox isn't in the picture, no one is going to be interested. Especially Vox. I'm surprised this thread hasn't become about him - yet.

    A double monk in this color?

    This Shipton looks like what you want.

    Altering a Sweater. Worth it?

    I just had some very good luck in shrinking two sweaters. The first was a 50/50 silk cashmere that was bought a size big and then stretched further. The second was a cashmere that was cut a lttle big and stretched out. I spritzed them with clear water and ran them through the dryer in 5-10...

    Tod's shoes are crap.

    I had the same problem over 4 wears....... But they were only $400...... I wonder how many retailers wish all their customers had this perspective?

    Brooks Brothers Rewards - Anyone Else Getting Shafted?

    Is it a point per dollar spent for the BB card? No, its 4 points per dollar spent and then they get awarded as $20 gift cards for every 2,000 points. So if you spend $500 you'll get 2,000 points and then a $20 card. $20/$500 = 4%. Not bad. They seem to wait one entire billing cycle after the...

    What kind of shoes should I wear with red skinny pants?

    Red chinos go very well with #8 cordovan - tassels especially.

    Jacket Appreciation

    What kind of philistine gets shirt-sleeve shoulders on a DJ? I finally get to wear my new DJ Monday night. I went to an event last night that was not black tie, which sort of ticked me off. Stacy London was there. She complimented my suit. Did you compliment her ass? EDIT: I guess that would be...

    cordovan w/ tassles (the trad classic)

    The color 8 cordovan is the best color to have. The Alden 666 in suede is my second favorite.

    Did Alden give Brooks Brothers the boot

    I have a local Alden dealer who has told me that Alden has threatened him for selling too low. He asked them point blank about BB and their response was not surprising. They essentially said that BB is the 800 lb. gorilla and there's not much they can do about their sales.

    ed no joke, but I don't think I've ever seen a fit pic from you. What's your style like? Ed used to post pics fairly regularly. He took a terrible beating for his ultra-conservative business dress taste and baggy fits though, so he stopped. really dig this AM tie, i have two others that I am meh on but this one...

    When will Moo make his appearance on the Sartorialist? Never. He's of absolutely no interest on that blog because there's nothing flashy or offbeat about his look. And he's not an industry insider. He could very well appear on Mr. Mort though.

    Shoe Wardrobe Advice, Please Help

    It sounds like Sutor Mantellassi might make some models that will work for you. Their prices run $875-$1250, but watch B&S, Sierra Trading Post and other online sellers like VirtualClothesHorse and ShopTheFinest for selling prices in the $300-$500 range. They have models that run from pretty...

    Who makes (RTW) grey flannels like these?

    Of course! I just found a very similar pair on a B&S post - model name is 'preston': http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/u...LFlannel/1.jpg Link to polo website: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/i...ductId=3735775 While this is pretty much what I want, $400 is out of my budget. Any other...

    He kinda looks like Mitt Romney - and I guess J.Crew over Polo... No, the Anglophilia of the tweed vest and extreme cutaway collar scream RL. The shoes look like the ubiquitous RL Darltons too. Either way, they clearly have moles in the Asian ithug posse.

    Now Gossip Girl is over the line...

    Those aren't Deadwood or the 70's, in the least bit. Both are quite good, actually. The tie knot on the latter could be a bit smaller though. I think Bass has worn far more outlandish things in the past. This is far more '70s, or maybe late '60s. Binge? Is that you?
