    How is the fit?

    Friend of mine has an event for her 18th birthday coming up, and they're may be a few cuties I'd like to impress. I like the jacket's fit a lot, but the pants have me pondering. It's "Egara" from Men's Wearhouse that I got for like 75% off after renting a tux and other stuff. How's it look? The...

    First Chucka Boots: Clark's or Red Wings?

    My shoe collection is growing (Ferragamo Burgundy Oxfords, Alden for Brooks Bros Black Oxfords, Johnston & Murphy Penny Loafers I've had a while, and Sperry Canvas Saddle Oxfords) and I've been looking to add a Chucka Boot to the mix, preferably leather since I'm already familiar with...

    Are these shoes Goodyear Welted?

    I honestly have no idea how to tell. Specifically: http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Salvatore-Ferragamo-Casey-Brogue-Oxford/prod128340056/?eVar4=You%20May%20Also%20Like%20RR I love these a lot, and I recently got a $500 gift card to neiman marcus, so I'd like to hop on these. I like Ferragamo...

    $200 Gift Card to Neiman Marcus. Options for shoes?

    I'd be looking for a shoe around 400-450 to use the gift card on and spend the rest. I know Magnanni gets no love here, but with their sale plus the gift cards, I can get em for like $150. Specifically some oxfords of their Exclusively for Neima Marcus line. I just need a black oxford or monk...

    It can go either way, but what would you do?

    Crockett & Jones vs Ferragamo

    Both of these pairs have caught my interest for my first pair of relatively nice shoes: http://www.barneys.com/Crockett-Jones-Hallam/500132596,default,pd.html and these...

    Santoni vs Peal & Co. from Brooks Brothers vs Ferragamo

    Pondering my first pair of authentically nice shoes. They'll be black cap-toed oxfords. I have a budget of up to about $600. Each of these are major contenders, and I think that Peal & Co. from Brooks are made by Crockett and Jones which sounds amazing, but I don't know how their quality holds...

    Help with first pair of nice shoes!

    So I'm going to get my first authentically relatively nice pair of shoes for Christmas. The conundrum is that I am unsure whether to put my entire budget towards one really nice pair, or two good pairs. The two good pairs would be one black, one brown or burgundy. I have a budget of about...

    Advice for the aspiring Gentleman... You're first pair of "nice" shoes?

    I've been running on lower-mid range Johnston and Murphy's for the majority of my young life, and for Christmas, I was pondering the purchase of a new watch (I'm a watch guy) or my first pair of authentically good quality shoes. (Johnston and Murphy has served me decently, but... still.) I've...

    Buying a new suit now? Yay or Nay?

    Good evening everyone, So as of late I've been pondering the purchase of a new suit. The current one that fits me now is a Jos. A Bank suit (the exact series escapes me) that's a dark, solid navy blue. I bought it last year for an event for my school and Navy Blue was the required color. My...

    When wearing Saddle shoes, should your belt match the saddle or the base?

    In the market for some more affordable Saddle Shoes as my second casual set (accompanies by some JM Pennies.) I'm still in high school, so Allen Edmonds and anything above that is pretty outta my price range, but I have no problem spending to $150. There's a pair of Florsheims that I like the...
