    Business Casual Newbie Needs Help!

    My impression is that a Dockers type is what the office is wearing.High armholes not only look stupid they are uncomfortable.And btw, in the US there are Many brands and cuts as well as exact sleeve lenghts in off the peg shirts. No "tailoring" required just find one that fits. In the old days...

    Business Casual Newbie Needs Help!

    Quote: In Bakersfield you'll be using Summer weight clothes 8 months a year and perhaps 4 where you'll need a long sleeve shirt and light jacket or sweater so keep that in mind.And by casual do you mean things like Lacoste shirts or Mephisto slip ons etc. ? Judging from your pic, a regular or...

    Business Casual Newbie Needs Help!

    Since it is a casual office there's no point in buying things you'll never wear. Patrick James is a decent west coast store on the higher end. Your body is not unusual, just bigger, so you can buy everything off the peg.Forget all of this tailoring nonsense you read on here.The people always...

    shoe size stress

    Clothing and shoes, even high quality stuff, are relatively cheap in the general scheme of things so it's ridiculous to buy factory rejects on an item that only sells for $300. If you keep a shoe for 5 years worrying about a $100 difference is trivial.And if you wore it 2 days a week it would...

    John Lobb St. James Oxford.... Repairable??

    If he did't see the Lobb name on it he would think it was some old worn out cheap junk.Labelwhore, that's all. You can buy 3 Peals (or whatever) or 4-5 AE and they'll FIT for $1200.

    What does a bad fused suit (bubbling) look like?

    I never heard of steaming a suit, it's always pressed with those large cloth commercial pressers.Getting a wool jacket damp And hot in a shower will pucker the fabric.Just hang wool and wrinkles come out.

    Advice on proper fitting, please? (w/ Pictures)

    They are all too short

    Tried to polish my new shoes, think I might have destroyed them...

    You're projecting again,son. And stop getting your impressions of "class" from Hollywood films.In real life we are quite different. In others words, you're not capable to judge anything and I can prove it with a few questions.

    Tried to polish my new shoes, think I might have destroyed them...

    I know what you mean, I read SF for laughs and to occasionally give a kid some useful advice.But like all kids and noobs they think that they know better than the Professor and have to learn the hard way.

    Tried to polish my new shoes, think I might have destroyed them...

    That's only because you can't afford a collection of good new ones.Develop a relation with something important not dead skins you wear on your feet and walk on the dirts treet with.

    shoe size stress

    They're too wide, try a b or c.You may even need a 10.5 or 11 a or b. Perhaps you were always wearing sneakers in the wrong size, they're more forgiving if missized.Since you're inexperienced go by the arch measurement and try on 10,10.5 and 11 in the narrower widths.Your real size is the heel...

    Does my suit fit?

    It fits ok but don't wear suppressed waists, it makes even thin guys arses look like a duck.btw, you're too old to be wearing these schoolboy cuts.

    Tried to polish my new shoes, think I might have destroyed them...

    That's a gimmick to pretend he's a common man and thrifty and the naive fall for it.Probably cost more for the patch than a new pairWhy doesn't he patch his clothes too to get the full effect? Look at real aristocrats not this one numbskull.If he was shagging Diana rather than painting...

    Tried to polish my new shoes, think I might have destroyed them...

    It's a waste of money to spend 1/3 a shoe's value to redo a 10 yo old shoe.For the average middle classer who likely has 5-6 good shoes they will last 5 years if cared for.People who buy more expensive items have much larger amounts of them and never wear them out. I still have shoes I bought at...

    John Lobb St. James Oxford.... Repairable??

    They look like something the cat dragged in. Throw they back in the garbage where you found them and wrap them up tightly so some dog doesn't chew on them and get ill. It seems that you're all label-whores on this poor kid's "fashion" forum. These were made for some well off man(and fit only his...

    If you wear Creed, kindly get ITT

    That just means they are different ages.This stuff needs to be used within a year or two or it begins to become rancid.That $20 bottle of Creed at the "bargain" outlet is past its prime from laying on the shelf and is worth 0

    I just call the salesgirl at Saks and tell her to send me any samples I want.
