    Sport coat fit and collar gap

    Could I please receive some feedback about the way that these jackets fit? I like how they feel in the shoulders, and they are the correct length, but I keep worrying that there is too large of a gap between my shirt collar and the collar of the jacket. The jackets lay well on the back of the...

    Trousers for athletic builds

    I have recently ordered, and had to return, suits or trousers from Suit Supply, Spier and Mackay (contemporary fit), and Hickey Freeman (Modern Fit) because they were too slim in the thighs and seat. My waist is 35" or 35.5", and even size 38 trousers in those brands are too slim. Extra points...

    NN07 experiences and advice

    Does anybody have any experience with NN07's cashmere pieces? I have several shirts and sweaters of theirs that I quite like, but have never handled their cashmere. They are made in Italy, retail for about $450, but are on sale for about $150. Obviously, a lot of articles have been written...

    Budget OCBDs

    I'm in the market for some inexpensive "beater" oxford cloth button down shirts, specifically in the $30-$50 range, to wear casually, to save wear and tear on my fancier oxfords. What's the best place to look? L.L. Bean? Land's End?

    J. Press Blue Line

    Does anybody have experience with J. Press's Blue line? Their suits are marked down to $477 and they sell them in odd-numbered sizes. I'm considering taking a chance on one, but am worried it may be too slim.

    Athletic Cut Suits

    I have run into some trouble trying to find a new suit. I have a 42"-43" chest and a 35" waist, and a 36" sleeve. 42" suits are often too snug in the shoulders and upper arms. If I buy 44" suits, the shoulders and arms fit much better, but the torso is quite roomy and the pants are usually...

    L.L. Bean Shetland and lambswool sweaters

    Has anybody worn or handled the Shetland sweaters or lambswool sweaters that L.L. Bean is selling this year? I have three old, made-in-Ireland L.L. Bean lambswool sweaters, which are still some of my favorite sweaters that I own, but I've read that L.L. Bean's quality has declined from ten or...

    Penn Boots

    Wooden Sleepers, a terrific vintage menswear shop near my apartment, has started stocking Penn Boots. I like how they look, but have never handled them before and have no experience with the brand. Have any of you, and, if so, what do you think?

    Leather Baracuta jacket

    A menswear shop near my house has these for 70% off, which makes them about $340. What do you guys think? I love Baracuta's Harringtons, but have no experience with their leather jackets.

    New-in-box pair of brown Allen Edmonds MacNeil longwing bluchers, size 15 D. I tried these shoes on and had taps installed on the toes and heels before deciding they were not a great fit for me. Besides having been tried on on a carpet, they are in brand new condition. I will ship them in...

    Anybody have experience with Aran Sweater Market?

    Do any of you have experience with sweaters from Aran Sweater Market? They measure their sleeves from the center of the back, rather than the base of the collar, so all of their measurements are very short -- even the largest sizes are only 33-34. I don't know how that compares to sleeve...

    Made II Fit

    Recently, there have been both Groupon and LivingSocial deals for a made-to-measure shirt company called "Made II Fit." Has anybody ordered shirts from them before? Three shirts for $145 (down from $290 at retail, apparently) sounds like a good deal, but if the quality is poor then I'd rather...
