    That's not me in the picture. I can't post a pic at the moment because the blazer's still at my tailor, but the sleeves aren't sloppily long. However, they're not well-tailored like in that pic; the sleeves extend slightly past my shirt cuff even when my arms are at my sides. I guess the gist...

    I have a casual, unstructured blazer made from cotton. It has stitching around the cuffs. I took it to a tailor and he said that, if he were to shorten the sleeves, he'd have to pull the stitching out and you'd be able to see the holes from where the stitching used to be because the material is...

    Counterfeiting and copyright protection in fashion industry

    Hi all, I'm a US lawyer working in intellectual property protection and I'm interested in making headway into the fashion/apparel industry, mostly because I just plain think it's interesting. However, I'm not very familiar with what steps most clothing companies take to protect their designs and...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    quick questions that i didn't think warranted its own thread: 1. am i correct that, if i use saddle soap on a leather product, i should apply some sort of conditioner/oil/balm on it afterward to replenish the oils? i understand that most saddle soaps have some sort of conditioning agent in it...

    random question: i'll be vacationing in brazil (rio) and argentina (buenos aires) in february. is there anything cool/unique that's fashion-related that i could pick up as a souvenir there? or even something that'd be way cheaper in those countries?

    401k and Roth IRAs

    so i've decided that i'm going to set a short-term goal of dealing with my stagnant 401k from an old job. i've read in tons of places that you should decide whether to keep your money in an old 401k based on whether the fees/earnings are good, but i have no idea how to judge this. what is...

    401k and Roth IRAs

    lol damn man these are such good points. do you work in finance/banking or some sort of money management industry? one of my recent short-term goals is to have a decent understanding of this stuff

    401k and Roth IRAs

    otc, why aren't you pro-real estate btw? i was leaning slightly towards saving my money towards a down payment for some sort of property to be rented out, but, if i'm being honest with myself, i really only have this idea in my head because a lot of my other fiscally responsible 20-something...

    401k and Roth IRAs

    i don't own a house, but i live in one of my parent's properties so i really just pay the upkeep/taxes/etc on it. right now, i don't particularly have a ton of cash on me, but i probably will at some point next year. so basically, i'm going to need a better place to stick my money than a savings...

    401k and Roth IRAs

    just a general question. if you still had money left over after maxing both a 401k and IRA, what would you do with that money?

    401k and Roth IRAs

    am i correct in assuming that i could go through the process of rolling my 401k over into a roth ira on the internet? is there a specific company i should go to? i have no idea how to shop for something like this lol

    Momotaro

    i bought a pair of 0705sp in 36, even though i probably could've stretched a 34 enough to fit me (i was probably a 34.5" waist at the time). i've now lost about 10 pounds and am approximately a true 33.5. i know the 0705sp is already prewashed, but how much shrinkage could i optimistically...

    can any of the new yorkers here recommend a good tailor, preferably one that's open on weekends?

    Is it easy for a tailor to raise the armholes on a flannel jacket? And if so, can someone recommend a good tailor in NYC?

    401k and Roth IRAs

    I'm currently ineligible for a roth ira. I'll look into this "backdoor" thing; I've heard other people mention it but I never really understood what it was. Thanks for this!

    sort of an odd question: the plastic laminate panel on the ID pocket of my wallet has taken on a warped, bump texture because i often left it in my car in the hot summer. is there a way to smooth it out? it's not a particularly expensive wallet, so i'd consider risky, as well as safe, methods

    401k and Roth IRAs

    thanks man, this is really helpful. i have one last question: i have an old 401k from my old company from a couple years ago, before i went to grad school. it's been sitting around and making decent gains on the investments, but i've kinda been wanting to roll it over into an IRA, just because...
