    Isn't this just a $1,000 polyester suit?

    Oh, and I hadn't noticed the sizes, Tim. That's hilarious. Excuse me, do you have these suits in large-tall? ha ha

    Isn't this just a $1,000 polyester suit?

    I wonder that as well. What are people looking to do in these things? Because if you want a suit you can wear to the office but also keep on for casual wear and wild adventures, without worrying about getting it wrinkled or stained… yep, that’s pretty much the definition of a synthetic leisure suit.

    I mean, correct me if I'm wrong. Is old new again? http://ministryofsupply.com/collections/stealth-suit

    Opalona shirts?

    If you can't remove the collar stays, they leave marks on the collars when you iron them or take them to the cleaner. It doesn't matter what brand it is, or how well it's made. It's just a fact of life. Opinions vary on the subject, but I would never buy a shirt with sewn-in stays.

    Opalona shirts?

    I appreciated the first guy's explanation of the company (and his clarification that the shirts do, in fact, have sewn-in collar stays, so I know I will never buy one). Could have done without the bullshit "I just bought three of these" guy, though.

    Tie Care

    Then you're wasteful. As are we all. Otherwise we'd go around wearing sackcloth and sandals. No matter what excuse we may have for it, spending $200 on a tie is wasteful. For the price of a couple of ties, you could support a child in Africa for a year. So if you're on Style Forum, you don't...

    Dress shoes not fitting perfectly, what to do?

    Stop buying dress shoes and boots that are roughly a half size too large.

    Tie Care

    Guess you buy cheap ties then. No, I just don't get upset about replacing them once in a while. What's the sense of spending thousands of dollars on suits but balking at spending $100 on a new tie? And since I don't buy trendy ties, I don't have to worry about them going out of style. Don't...

    Tie Care

    You don't untie your tie when you take it off at night? If not, why not? I tie the ideal knot for each tie I have - different knots depending on the tie and how I plan to wear it - and then I don't have to tie it again. I might occasionally untie one for some reason, but assuming it was tied...

    Tie Care

    I loosen the tie a bit, slip it over my head, tighten it back up so the loop is the same size it will be when I put it back on, and hang it back in my closet.

    Opalona shirts?

    Ah, I see what you mean. I think I'll hold off on trying this unless I hear from someone who has one and likes it. Thanks again!

    Poor man's watch thread

    I have this Invicta and am quite happy with it. +1 I love Invicta. I have smallish wrists for a guy my size, but I get 2 links taken out and they're perfect. I have the Pro Diver and the Pro Diver with Swiss movement, and there's hardly a discernible difference except that the Swiss one costs...

    Opalona shirts?

    No, not at all. You are supposed to do that after you get your post count up. :-)

    Opalona shirts?

    I don't know this brand, but "Made in Europe" probably means Romania. I have no way of knowing that but worth asking. Saks has had a ton of "Made in Romania" shirts in the off 5ths recently, I think marked down to $25 or something on clearance. Nice shirts, but not nearly MTM nice. I think Eton...

    Opalona shirts?

    That's absurd. First of all, it wasn't my first post. Secondly, nobody's going to Google "opalona herringbone shirt with french cuffs and blue collar lining" just so they can see a shirt I think I might like. The link was obviously for convenience of those who might be interested in helping me...

    Opalona shirts?

    More than three, apparently.

    Opalona shirts?

    It was giving a guy advice on how to bid on eBay. I mostly just lurk. Why? How many posts do I need to have before I can ask a question about a shirt?

    Opalona shirts?

    Has anyone here tried Opalona shirts? I searched the term but didn't come up with much. I really like the look of this one but I'm a little wary of buying a non-MTM shirt without even being able to see it first. Not that $50 is a lot to spend on a shirt, but it's a lot to spend on a shirt that's...

    Got sniped on eBay, show me how not to!

    The biggest mistake people make on eBay is bidding too soon. It drives me nuts to see a great pair of shoes with six days left and there are already 20 bids. Settle down, guys - all you're doing is needlessly driving up the price. No matter how badly you want it, never bid on anything with more...
