    Modern Tailor Custom Suits

    Getting married in January 2013. After bouncing back and forth between Modern Tailor, Indochino, and Black Lapel, I decided to take a chace with Modern Tailor, based on price vs customization options. I have never ordered a MTM suit before. They don't offer Tuxedos so I asked them if they could...

    Recommend your shoes

    Databody, what size do you wear? If you go for Allen Edmonds Park Avenue, you may need to get a half size smaller, i.e. if you wear 9 in one brand, try 8.5 for the Park Avenue cuz they run long. Try them on and be SURE of your size before buying them. I learned the heard way. Bought some Park...

    Stacy Adams Perez - Pointed toe + Thin Sole edge = Sleek?

    Tiny feet, or sleek shoes?

    Stacy Adams Perez - Pointed toe + Thin Sole edge = Sleek?

    Thanks for the replies. I do think my feet look big in my Allen Edmonds. I recently had the hem on one of my suits adjusted to an 8.5 - 8.75" opening to cover more of the shoe and it looks a little better. I just can't shake the feeling that the shoes are Clunky. I do plan on wearing full...

    Stacy Adams Perez - Pointed toe + Thin Sole edge = Sleek?

    I saw an aquainrence wearing a pair of sleek looking shoes and finally asked him what brand they were. Lo and behold they were Stacy Adams, the evil junk brand that forced me to become aware of the need for quality shoes when I was like 19. I now have 2 pairs of Allen Edmonds: Black Park Avenue...

    Help me pick my next pair of Dress Shoes (noob)

    Alas, when I first leaned about quality shoes, I bought a brand new pair of Park Avenues from Patrick James at 15% off retail. I had them topy'd and everything. But the sales rep and I decided I was a size 8D. After about 2-3 months of wearing them the tightness was just too much, at times it...

    Help me pick my next pair of Dress Shoes (noob)

    Thanks for the info, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Strands, but I had never heard of Meermin before and my interest has definitely been piqued, thanks liquiduis. The Ed Et al also looked nice for the rtw prices, but I thought the bespoke looked really interesting (like I could...

    Help me pick my next pair of Dress Shoes (noob)

    Hi, I already have 2 pairs of black shoes. Some basic Park Avenues and some Florsheim Wingtips. See Below I want to get a pair of brown shoes. For a long time I've had my eye on the Allen Edmonds Strands in Walnut. I love the brogue style and the color. These are really tempting right now...

    Vest Button Stance and No. of Button

    The reason I started to consider this is because I'm getting the suit from indochino, and they give the option of 3 buttons on the vest. However I thought if there's 3 buttons they shouldn't be the same distance apart as 5 buttons, thus the 3 buttons would look better lower, and they also happen...

    Comment by 'J_Quinn' in item 'Allen Edmonds Men's Park Avenue Lace-Up'

    Cool story. I'm selling a pair of Park Avenue's, Black, size 8, medium (D) width. They have a topy (thin rubber sole) added which is an extra $25 value plus extends the shoe's life. I took great care of em, polishing, etc. I barely wore them for 3 months, they were a little too small for me...

    Double Round Club Collar

    Thank everyone for the honest advice. If/when I try this look I was planning to use a detachable collar so as to extend the usefulness of the shirt. Unfortunately the picture above with that guy in the zany suit well depicts the look I had I mind (minus the atrocious suit, of course) Admittedley...

    Double Round Club Collar

    I have grown to like this style of collar and am looking to get a shirt with one. When it comes to club collars, I like this extra round style that would nearly obscure a four in hand knot, preferably without a collar pin. Am I crazy...

    Allen Edmonds shoes at $150?

    Yep, Nordstrom Rack is the place my book. Picked up a pair of park avenues for $150. They were factory seconds and seemed to be made apart from each other but they look just fine as a pair.

    Shoe prices

    As for prices, I love Nordstrom rack. I found some AE Park Avenues in my size for $150!

    Do you have a 'signature-item'?

    My new signature item is my Allen Edmonds Park Avenues with toe and heel taps. People ask mr if I'm trying to tap dance, a little annoying but what do they know. My other shoes without heel taps are wearing down whereas my PA's are fine!
