    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    Are they really that inexpensive? There is a place near me that does the duplicating thing, but I never bothered to ask prices because I always figured it would be a fortune. I'd ideally like to go in with a Theory shirt and ask them to do a french cuff in the same measurments

    Cant criticize the pants. I found a pair of khakis that me perfectly (and were fairly inexpensive). I started out with standard colors and now I am up to 6 pairs of the same pants in different colors. When you already have grey, brown, navy, olive, etc - moving on to royal blue and "salmon" isnt...

    Agreed. Why is it so absurd that you could wear different sizes in different models? If nothing else, the fit between a loafer and laceup is totally different. Even among the same last - 5th and Park Ave fit me perfect in the 7.5EEE but I am stepping out of the Kenilworth in the same size. Its...

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    I wish the BB slim (or extra slim) fit me, but those were even too baggy. I was lucky and got 2 shirts at Pink onsale for $75 each (regular $180) in french cuff. Honestly, I wouldve bought more, but I waited too long and they ran out of my size. I want to try TM Lewin and Hilditch & Key, but I...

    I would try to exchange if possible. I was always told that if you are on the line, go for the smaller size.

    Does anyone know if any AE stores still carry the "Catskill" model? I saw them listed on Lands End and I really like how they look, but I usually take a wide and they only have standard sizes.

    I had the Kenilworth (on the 5 last) and they were bowing terribly. I took it back to the store and it turns out I was sold the wrong size. The more experienced salesperson told me I needed to go down half a size (but keep the same width). Is it possible that those who have bowing have the...

    True. If you were going to spend $250 - $300 for a shirt. I got 2 shirts from Pink for $79 each on sale. I'm sure MTM would fit me a little better, but the Pink shirts are near perfect for much less in cost.

    I buy the AE shoe trees when I purchase a pair of shoes from there. I know it might not mean that much in theory, but I like that I can go by their size chart on the back. Plus I really like the shape of the AE branded trees more than some others I have used.

    Yea, I see what you're saying. I mean, walk through any upscale department store and I see a lot of stuff that I can't imagine anyone ever purchasing, but they probably wouldnt be sitting in the store if there wasnt someone out there with interest

    Why offer a "non formal" patent leather shoe? Isnt that an oxymoron? Whats the point of a patent leather shoe if not to be as formal as possible...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    It seems to me that everyone has a different opinion...if the bluchers are informal, why is it that AE only has one patent leather shoe and is a blucher? To play devil's advocate in terms of "traditional rules" - wouldnt a patent leather shoe be the "real choice"? But it seems like these days...

    I know this question has been asked a million times (and pretty recently as well), but I need a wedding/tux shoe... My fiance wants me to buy something new for the wedding... I was originally going to go with the Kenilworth, but I think they are potentially too casual. My next instinct would...

    I really like the Vernons. The brown ones look real nice.

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

    What do you guys think about the Alex in the 348 last to wear with a tuxedo? I have never tried C&J before though. I am between a 7.5 wide and 8 wide on the brannock. 7.5 wide on the AE 5 last (park avenue and 5th avenue). I'm thinking of possibly ordering a 7.5 from Sky Valet or Barneys and...

    Where do you find those shirts?

    The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts

    Yup. Those are very close to my measurments. For dress shirts - Theory fits me perfectly (they are expensive, but can be found onsale). However, I needed a french cuff shirt, which they don't carry. On a whim I went into Thomas Pink for their 30% off sale and their slim fit was perfect on me...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    You are right. I took them back to the store and after we closely examined them, the conclusion is that I might have stepped on something and cut the back sole. Either way, not very noticeable and to anyone except me, so I am ok with it. ...However, there was an absolute issue with my...

    I am the same size in Park Avenues and Fifth Avenues, however I sized down 1/2 a size in the Kenilworth (also the 5 last)

    I wore my Fifth Avenues for the first time yesterday. Literally walked from my house to my car and then from my car like 200 feet to a restaurant. When I took them off the back of the leather sole was split like 1/8 of an inch straight up the back. There was also a small flap of leather which...
