    uniqlo heat tech for skiing?

    Seirus makes quality stuff. My perspective is cross country skiing, cycling and running.

    uniqlo heat tech for skiing?

    Heat Tech is pretty thin for really cold weather base layers. That said, it seems comparable to other more outdoorsy brand's products of comparable weight in terms of warmth. So for standing around in the cold, pretty good stuff. BUT I don't know how well they perform when slightly damp from...

    The Tie Bar Ties

    Their knit ties look good but seem really fragile. I have several. I have one of their cotton or linen ties in plaids that I like a lot and am thinking of more like that. Their regular silk ties are a bit on the shiny/cheap side, so in non-knit ties I think you should go for ones that have...

    The Tie Bar Ties

    Even though idfnl probably has vested interests in discouraging people from buying inexpensive ties elsewhere (you'll notice that he sells a ton of ties on eBay as a business ), he's correct. I've seen a few Tie Bar ties in my day, and none of them impressed me. They're cheap ties. For someone...

    What suit is this? Need it for a wedding

    If you try to look aggressive and powerful with something as unsubtle as that "suit," you'll end up looking like you're TRYING to look aggressive and powerful. Which tends to backfire as far as "powerful" goes.

    Question about Shirt for Tuxedo for My Wedding

    I've only worn them for a few minutes (got this tuxedo a few weeks ago and haven't used it yet) but the pants happen to just fit me and seem to stay up fine without a belt. They don't seem too tight. I have other pants that work that way - sometimes I'll forget to put a belt on when heading to...

    Best material for Knit Tie?

    I have knit ties from the Tie Bar, Land's End, the Knottery and some other places. The Tie Bar ones vary in quality -- all are thin but some are thin in a a good way - well-built and summery/light. Some are just thin and loose and I returned the immediately. Land's End is higher quality but...

    Question about Shirt for Tuxedo for My Wedding

    Why always braces? My pants seem to stay fine without them, so why should I wear them?

    Grey trousers = security guard?

    The security guard impression is most likely the more of these it hits: quality of the clothes is poor, the fit is long or baggy, the shoes clunky, the shirt is a medium or french blue solid color, or the person wearing them (in the US at least) is black. I'm black BTW. If you're doing it with...

    What to wear to hip-hop show @ the Kennedy Center

    Dressy suit, dress shirt, tie if it was me. Maybe a tuxedo if I had one.

    Are briefs making a comeback?

    Not at all sure about that - I've been in many situations travelling with women friends I'm not romantically involved with where one or both of us has no pants on around the other, such as puttering around a hotel room, etc. EDITED to add: And for me, in those situations, nice boxers in a dark...

    Bloomberg His Preppiness

    I read somewhere that he wears Cole Haan or Allen Edmonds and has just two pairs which he alternates (and gets re-soled). Ah, here it is http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/arts-culture/blogs/nyc-mayor-bloombergs-sustainable-footwear

    Bloomberg His Preppiness

    I don't think business dress during the peak of Hurricane Sandy would have been appropriate. Back to business dress -- Bloomberg was the key speaker at an event I organized earlier this year (and also did all graphics and signage for) and he looked good to me in person. Not flashy but just...

    Best ****** Fabric for a Tailored Suit

    Funny video. I had a bunch of pants made like that in China years ago - what are nowadays called "Go to Hell" pants. Got some material at the local fabric shop, and gave a tailor the fabric and a pair of chinos I liked to copy.

    Lands End Dress Shirts -- new "Slim Fit" vs older "Tailored Fit"?

    I have Brooks Brothers non-iron (ESF) and Land's End non-iron (tailored fit, not the newer slim fit) and they perform the same in terms of not needing ironing for me - they look OK after a cold wash and moderate drying. It seems important to not over-dry and also to take the out of the dryer...
