    Kiton cashmere sweaters?

    How do they compare in quality to cashmere sweaters by other labels, such as Brunello Cucinelli? Any comment on durability/fit/value/anything else noteworthy?

    Are sharkskin suits popular again?

    In the past, I've always associated sharkskin suits with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. However, lately I've noticed quite a few modern celebrities wearing sharkskin suits. Some look way too shiny/flashy, while others have a very slight sheen that look decent. Is it just my imagination, or is...

    Collonil Gold Premium Leather Polish

    Hey guys, I just found this video from Allen Edmonds, which answers my second question (I think?): I guess the only problem I have with the video is if Collonil is a cream, then is Allen Edmonds Premium Polish something different since AE says it's a wax/cream combo?

    Collonil Gold Premium Leather Polish

    In other threads (see below), some people say it is a combination of wax and cream. http://www.styleforum.net/t/259742/allen-edmonds-shoe-care#post_4732474 http://www.styleforum.net/t/67332/allen-edmonds-shoe-cream#post_1093790...

    Collonil Gold Premium Leather Polish

    I was interested in purchasing a few Allen Edmonds Premium Shoe Polish tubes. I have two questions: First, does this product include silicone? I had a bad experience using one of those water-proofing silicone sprays on a pair of shoes a few years ago. Second, is it wax, or is it a cream, or...

    Plantar warts from trying on flip flops in a store while barefoot?

    You're probably right, but I like saving money too much to give up the outlet stores.

    What's your opinion on wearing a suit to nightclubs?

    It really depends on the club. When I used to live in Miami, I went to clubs often and I'd usually wear dark jeans, a sport shirt, and dress shoes. However, there were a few clubs where a sport coat or a suit made more sense. I remember at one Miami club in particular, most guys were wearing...

    Plantar warts from trying on flip flops in a store while barefoot?

    Is it possible to get warts this way? If so, is there anyway around it? I just thought of this today while watching people try on flip flops while barefoot at DSW. I also saw someone trying on regular shoes barefoot.....which I thought was crossing some sort of shoe-shopping etiquette line...

    Safe to dry clean a wool overcoat?

    Thanks Harvey! That sounds like what I need.

    Safe to dry clean a wool overcoat?

    Thing is it doesn't really smell.......or at least I don't think it does. I just sense that I've gotten to the point where it is no longer clean. I've read online guides on how to hand wash "dry clean only" wool coats delicately with woolite (or similar products) and I imagine that...

    Safe to dry clean a wool overcoat?

    I have had my black wool overcoat for 3 years now and have never dry cleaned it. I generally try to stay away from dry cleaners, partly because they can be expensive but mostly because I'm always afraid they will ruin my clothes. Not too long ago, while wearing my wool overcoat during one of my...

    Suit smells like plastic from garment bag?

    Is taking it to a dry cleaner to steam it really necessary? I have my own steamer.....I was thinking it would be quicker to just do it myself? Can the dry cleaner do something that I can't do? I don't think it needs to be pressed......I just bought the suit so it's in pretty decent shape...

    Suit smells like plastic from garment bag?

    It's a wool suit........do I have to hang it up outside or just by a window? My problem is I live in an apartment with no balcony......so it's difficult to hang it up outside.

    Suit smells like plastic from garment bag?

    So I just bought a suit from a Ralph Lauren store and they put it in one of their thick garment bags for me to take home. I left it in the garment bag overnight in my car because I planned to take it to my tailor the next day. I know leaving a suit in a garment bag is bad because a suit should...

    Caught wearing suit in thunderstorm, lapel is wrinkled! Help!

    The suit is fused. I tried taking pictures, but the only camera I have is on my phone, and with the flash from the camera, it doesn't look wrinkled at all. So, it's not that bad, but trust me, it's noticeable. The only part that is really bothering me is the collar. Is there a way I can safely...

    Caught wearing suit in thunderstorm, lapel is wrinkled! Help!

    I've been rained on before while wearing a suit............but never this bad. When I got home, I was drenched in water. I hung up the suit, which dripped for hours. Now it's dry, but it appears the upper portion of the lapel and collar are wrinkled. Steaming does not get the wrinkles out. What...

    "Safest" champagne of these 3 NV?

    I love champagne, but I rarely have it. It doesn't help that my local liquor store has a very small selection of the stuff that costs over $15. I'd order online, but I live in PA, so I have to buy from a state-store. I'm sure a lot of the $30-50 options are good value. I only see Pol Roger in...

    "Safest" champagne of these 3 NV?

    Veuve Clicquot YL Louis Roederer Brut Premier Taittinger Prelude I'm going to a dinner party and would like to purchase a mid-priced bottle of brut champagne that most people will like and that will go with most foods. It can't be too extreme; it has to have wide appeal. I don't know what food...

    Belt width to wear with jeans?

    How wide should a belt be to be wearable with jeans? 1 1/4"? 1 1/2"? I would think 1" would be too small (like a dress belt?).

    How bad is Pronto Umo?

    I have a Pronto Uomo shirt.......white-on-white, fitted, non-iron. I like it a lot, the fit is nice and the material is soft/comfortable. And you barely have to iron it. For $40-50 (I think that's what it cost), it's not bad at all. It's not Borrelli, but it's better than a lot of other stuff...
