    What's comparable to Polo Ralph Lauren pique polo shirts?

    Thanks. Are any of these available by mail order/eBay? If not, any other brand recommendations that are?

    What's comparable to Polo Ralph Lauren pique polo shirts?

    I really like Polo Ralph Lauren pique short-sleeve shirts as they fit very well and the collar doesn't get all wonky, but don't need the logo and price that goes along with it. Tried Jos A Bank and Lands End, but the sleeves are too short (I like ones that go about to the elbow). Any...

    Invisible deodorant recommendation needed

    Any tips on an invisible solid deodorant that is truly invisible (i.e., no white marks on clothes or flakes coming from underarm after application) and has no or a mild scent? I've tried the following with not much luck: Right Guard Invisible Solid - not invisible... not by a long shot...

    Initially I did... and those shoes seemed more "dull" than the Shell Cordovan. When I heard about the Shell PAs, I thought, "jackpot," but no such luck.

    Recently purchased two pairs of the Cordovan Park Avenues, but was expecting more of a sheen like other non-AE cordovan shoes I've had. I know I can put a mirror shine on the toe, but doing so will be noticeably different than the rest of the shoe and I don't care for that look. I compared...

    I'm looking for an AE in a cap toe or a wing tip that uses a shinier leather than the Park Avenue. I can put a mirror shine on the Park Avenue, thanks to the awesome tips here, but would prefer to have a shoe that has an overall higher shine. Any suggestions, even if it's (ahem) outside of the...

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Thank you. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for solving a question I have had for at least 20 years. I have wondered how to get a great shine on my shoes, searched the Internet various times during those years, but just found SF within the past two weeks and today, at last, this thread...

    Need some help getting that awesome mirror shine. This was the first time I had shined these shoes appropriately with Saphir, so I applied Renovateur once, then cream on the entire shoe and brushed with a horsehair brush. Repeated three times. Even after vigorous brushing the shoes were a bit...

    What color Saphir Pate de Luxe Wax Shoe Polish is the best match for Merlot Park Avenues? I prefer a deeper/darker red color. and am leaning toward the Bordeaux color, but colors on the web can vary. Thanks.

    Thanks for the great feedback about the Park Avenue's. I'll be ordering some tomorrow. Wish I had learned how to properly shine my shoes years ago, and glad to see the techniques here!

    Newbie here, and first off, amazed by this thread. Love AE shoes, and given their great quality, am not surprised at the many positive comments from the many experts here. I haven't been able to find this in the forums, and surprisingly haven't had much luck from AE with this question. I am...
