    Sweater shoulder seams - what's acceptable?

    My take is that regardless of what you are wearing shirt, sweater, jacket the shoulder always looks better when shoulder is right on. So yes this does look a little sloppy.

    Denim 101 for Men's Clothing

    That's a good point about the fabric's making a difference, that's why I'm not keen on ordering any denim on line. Service at Denim Bar in DC is great. Though I don't think a size up in J Brand would have worked as the waist would become too wide for the bigger leg. When I picked up the N&F Slim...

    Denim 101 for Men's Clothing

    I had picked up the J Brand Kane a while back, but don't wear them at all now as I find the leg to skinny/trendy. On a tagged waist of 30, the actual is now around 35, but the leg is only 7.5. Where as on my APC and N&F the leg is 8.5 which I prefer a lot more.

    Do you guys wear walnut color shoes in the winter?

    It also depends if you are bold and want to create some contrast. Lighter colored pants for summer complement tan shoes, where are darker pants for winter contrast with tan shoes. Check this out: http://dieworkwear.com/post/3218482678/spring-summer-series-part-iv-shoes

    Denim 101 for Men's Clothing

    In my search for straight leg selvage denim I own and like: APC New Standard around $185 Naked & Famous Slim Guy $140 At a lower price Gap Straight Leg selvage looks workable, MSRP is $98 though Gap has lots of sales. I might pick a pair.

    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    Ah it's these small details that like the few mm in a belt that most people IRL don't see and only see an overall outfit looking good or otherwise, my significant other does not care about such details (she finds doing so to be obsessive!), I happen to be interested in identifying them to make...

    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    Thanks for all the pointers! So the belt is 45 mm wide that I typically use with my jeans and I use my other 35 mm wide belt with trousers. My take was wider belts were better for denim, I guess this one is too wide? Ahh I get it the roll would be better beyond the elbow (it was unseasonably...

    WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

    Good points roll could be neater, I also have a darker pair of jeans on their way (N&F Slim Guy). Would an OCBD not be a little more on the Trad side of things?

    A.P.C. The official thread for APC denim sizing and other questions.

    I have a pair of New Standard's from a year ago in size 31 that have stretched to waist 35, and thigh 12, not sure what the original size was. Having gained some weight I'm now looking for something with a little more room in both waist and thigh in a straight leg fit, I'm 5'9" 157 lb. On...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    So Milano pants sizing is driving me nuts with my recent order below are all cotton, I didn't include the linen ones as I know they shrink a lot. Winter 2013 - 34" x 32" Milano Corduroy, actual waist 36" in navy, and 37" in brown. Summer 2013 - 33" x 30" Milano Light Weight advantage, actual...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

    Nice how does quality/comfort of Rutledge compare to Loake? I found the sheep skin and poron insole made independence shoes much more comfortable than regular AE. Did Herring suggest that you get the two different sizes on Capital/Mayfair I'm also trying to figure out Loake sizing, I wear US...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

    I'm trying to determine the right size for the Pimlico Chukka. In Allen Edmonds Jefferson/Rutledge I have US 9.5 In the Rancourt loafers I have US 9.0 In Santoni oxfords I have US 9.5 and for loafers US 9.0 In C&J Granda loafers (348 last) I have UK 8.0, also for Tetbury I tried UK 8 was...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

    Anyone have the Loake Cornwall, any thoughts on the Duke last, how do you like it? Seems to be similar to the C&J Highbury on the 348 last.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Good point, I should have checked their site. Any other alternatives I should consider to the Tetbury due to them not handling rain well. Loake Pimlico seem to the most common one. Pediwear's own Simon chukka looks nice too but that too is made of nubuck...

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Anyone know how Barney's does the C&J sizing conversion. I have a pair of unlined loafers I got from them in the 348 last (Granda) US Size 9, so would that be 8 or 8.5 UK? I tried the Tetbury in US 9 and they fit quite well, but I'm concerned that the nubuck will not work well in the rain/snow...

    Options for Italian loafers?

    I'm not concerned about country of origin, simply looking for a sleeker last and open to penny, horse bit or venetian. It just seems Italians do that more often. However I'm not looking for the more aggressive chiseled toe, as I already have oxfords with such a toe. To my untrained eye, the...

    Options for Italian loafers?

    At my price point of up to 600 MSRP (~300 on sale) would there be any blake or good year shoes with hidden stiches? When I don't see them, I suspect the shoe is bonded.

    Options for Italian loafers?

    I'm looking for a pair of sleek low profile loafers that would work well with jeans. I like an elongated toe but feel a chiseled one would be a little much for denim. Based on this criteria I seem to be limited to Italian offerings, this is what I like so far, any thing else I should consider...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    ^ Of the three CT looks best because of the strong shoulders and lower first button (optimally should be at navel?)making the lapel look longer and making you look taller. BTW from what I have seen BB Regent is dual vent.
