Loake 1880 Sizing Question
Good morning/afternoon/night StyleForum, I have been really interested in purchasing a pair of double monks from Loake, my question is their fitment. I am virtually a size 8 universally from Allen Edmonds to Barker Black. The only thing I have found online before I posed this question here...- SelfMade

A visit to Astor & Black
I know you are a different rep for A&B, but these pics put me at ease. I did end up purchasing a sport coat on Thursday. I made a selection from the "closeout" book, and informed the rep that I wanted to see the quality of the jacket (something I think is the hardest piece of clothing to get...- SelfMade

Would appreciate some advice for a student on an OPT in my ****** industry
Take your talent to ATL. If you're in animation, that is a great local to find work. My brother-in-law undergrad and AI and master's from SCAD, moved to ATL to work. He originally started with the NYC and LA dreams, but I think from what I have read, you might be better off down there. Plus...- SelfMade

A visit to Astor & Black
The two pieces I highlighted and outlined, are the two reasons I wanted to visit them and see for myself. I hold everyone's opinion with a certain amount of value, but like you said, just because your tailor has an opinion that doesn't make him right. Nor, does the guy that works for the...- SelfMade

A visit to Astor & Black
I didn't make comment to how the garments are produced either. I have spoke with people who've had good and bad experiences. Anyone who "formerly worked with/for" I typically hold mild skepticism for, just a mechanism I cannot get passed. Good/bad for that matter. And to be completely honest...- SelfMade

A visit to Astor & Black
I can see the "wannabe" comment, I just had her meet me at my office because I hate driving into DC, plus I can rarely leave early, and when I do, it's usually to get my children. It is a good draw. But I am meeting her at her office today. After I realized the risk of her not having...- SelfMade

A visit to Astor & Black
You're correct it was from the "close-out" book. She was compelled to show me the book since it had a few Dormeil Amadeus swatches in there. I had mentioned to her up front, that is the cloth I prefer, as most of my garments are Dormeil Amadeus. I did have to supply her with a back-up choice...- SelfMade

What was your starting salary (approx.)?
I understand, that's why I preface my comments always with being "blessed" not so much in the religious context, but more so with being FORCED to face adversity head on. And you have two choices attack or fold, I chose to attack. And I hold that feeling everyday in my back pocket, I wish more...- SelfMade

What was your starting salary (approx.)?
I would have loved to go to college. I initially wasn't ready to grow up, but my mom falling ill (couldn't work for almost a year), her husband taking out all the equity in their house and fleeing (she chose not to fight it), I really had no choice. Now I am blessed to have her in my rental...- SelfMade

career change for more money
Completely agree with VinnyMac. I live in the area known as "Silicon Valley of the East," and it's a common complaint amongst the techies being underpaid. In my neighborhood, I would rough estimate it around 1/2 of my neighbors are in the IT security or engineering field. A few are venturing...- SelfMade

If you consider being open-minded as optimism? I do not understand the attack against my judgment or character from you? If you choose to make decisions based off a minimal amount of comments against a company, that is fine, I honestly have no problem with that. I prefer to make my own...- SelfMade

What was your starting salary (approx.)?
Never went to college, my mom got sick my senior year of high school, so after graduation I grabbed the first job that I could make money in. Was hired by Bloomingdales in 1999 as a men's wardrobe consultant. It was a risk as I was on a $10 per hour draw, but received 6% commission. I cleared...- SelfMade

So you can make an educated conclusion based off a 122 post thread, over the course of a few years, not all of which were negative? Interesting, I prefer to make my own decisions based on my experiences. I have yet to find a company that has not received negative comment based on someone's...- SelfMade

18 years old getting dressed for a party.
Basically, based on the individuals attending, the location of the event, and the fact it's an "18th birthday party," you have inferred there is a dress code, even though it's not implied? In any event, rule of thumb, it's better to over dress than to be under-dressed. That is all.- SelfMade

Different suit coat with different suit pants
I would say be patient, look for the right piece of cloth that will serve the purpose you wish to achieve. Great wardrobes are like Rome, they aren't built in a day. If you are starting from scratch, start with the basics, a navy suit and build from there. Sometimes there are reasons you find...- SelfMade

For the sake of not starting a new thread, I'll keep this one going. I have an appointment with an A&B rep today, and plan to post the experience of the initial consultation this afternoon. I have moderate experience with custom suiting. I have one MTM I purchased in 2006 from Duncan Quinn...- SelfMade
