    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I've gotten two OCBDs from Luxire in the past, and I'm looking for more, and would like some oxford fabric suggestions. The options are a bit overwhelming. I have a warzone white Oxford I like a lot. My previous order was a blue of some kind, but I don't like it. It wasn't a classic blue...

    [Help] Wool Trousers to Replace Raw Denim for Business Casual?

    Would wool trousers be a good business casual replacement for raw denim? If so, where should I look to pick up a pair? Right now I have my eye on Land’s End Year Rounder in slim fit, but I'm not sure they are what I'm looking for. Budget is $100 (preferably less, but if I have to save for me...

    Sport Coats and Jeans

    I love denim and a sport coat. Mostly because I love jeans and sometimes need to be a little classier without being overly formal. This look is perfect for me in that regard. My question, though, is where are decent places to look for an affordable slimmer fitting sport coat that works well with...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I've ordered two shirts from Luxire (both OCBDs). Overall, I've been really impressed with the quality. My first shirt wasn't the greatest, but that's mostly due to my choices. The second shirt is almost perfect, excluding a couple measurements that were a little off on my end. But on each...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    I have a pair of 1000 mile boots that I absolutely love. I wear them almost every day, and have for 4 years or so (resoled once). I wear them with jeans and an oxford shirt or dockers and sport coat on occasion. But I'm finding myself needing to dress up a little more, and so I want to get a...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm looking at getting a white oxford...trying to wrap my head around the differences in the warzone oxfords. I want something great for everyday office wear. What's the difference between the warzone, the warzone plus, and the warzone heavy?

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    I've got a few shirts that fit well in one way or another, but are off in others. That's why I was thinking I could just adapt those measurements into a MTM and get a shirt that fits well most everywhere. I'm not really sure where to go to find a nice shirt that fits, especially being far from...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Thanks. You're definitely right. That's some good advice. Not sure I can do that. The closest thing to a tailor near me is Men's Warehouse...and the $100 or so for a MTM Proper Cloth or Luxire is about the most I can spend on a shirt. Would maybe Proper Cloth be a better place to try to dial...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Thanks. A lot to think about. I definitely want to get a nice OCBD that will fit better, and I'd love to eventually get a enough for a work week. I noticed the MTM has at least one fabric that I couldn't find on the costume site. I also noticed that the MTM has more specific customization...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Thanks. That's some good advice to chew on. I might have to rethink my plans, if the best way to get a good shirt from them is to send in a shirt. I really don't have a shirt that fits well. I thought I had a pretty good idea of the measurements based on a combination of the shirts I have, and...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hi! I have been looking at creating my first MTM shirt. I’ve initially looked at Proper Cloth, but just came across Luxire, and like the price and fabric selection a lot. I’m looking for a pretty simple OCBD. OCBD are a staple of my minimalist wardrobe. I wear one almost everyday, untucked...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

     I wear them for business casual all the time, but decidedly on the more casual end of the spectrum. Not that I actually have any fashion sense to speak of. But it works for me.

    Need Specific Help with 'Business Casual' pants and color matching

    Hey friends! I need some help! I need to up my 'business casual' look. I've been browsing and researching but I'm honestly stuck. I have very little fashion sense or color-coordinating skills. So while I've been able to pick up some basics and pointers and things, what I really need or some...

    Sport Coat Similar to Calvin Klein Extreme Fit Slim Blazer

    Thanks! I should clarify that I'm looking for something (hopefully) more inexpensive to use in more casual & day-to-day wear. My 'uniform' is is dark park of Levi 501 STFs and Oxford button down.

    Sport Coat Similar to Calvin Klein Extreme Fit Slim Blazer

    I think I finally found a blazer that fits me really well. A Calvin Klein Extreme Fit blazer in 38S I think works well. So I am looking for some slightly more casual sport coats in a similar fit. Ideally I'd like something a bit less expensive. I'm a newbie so apologies if this isn't a good...

    Business Casual Shirts for Public Speaking?

    Hi, I am searching for a few good business casual dress shirts. Something in slimmer modern cut, in a dark color, in a wrinkle-resistant fabric would be ideal. I have a very minimalist approach to style. I lead a small non-profit. Most days to the office and out in the community I wear a...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Hey - I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find it. I have a pair of Brown 1000 Miles. I treat them a few times a year with neatsfoot oil (about out, may switch to some other oil), and treat them with Obenauf's LP maybe twice a year, and they get a decent brushing about once a...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    @milw50717 Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'm not committed to actively changing the color, least not yet. And I don't need an intense high shine, I just can't seem to get some of the shine I've seen others get in photos.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Anyone have any experience with Fiebrings boot cream, or Wolverine's leather conditioner or oil-tanned leather cream. They are all available at a local store for really cheap. Just saw them today. Wolverine leather's conditioner seems very paste-like but the oil-tanned conditioner seems...

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot Review

    Thanks for the tips on the Ventian cream and Saphir products. I will look into them. Can anyone else comment on them? Do I need to use polish to get a luster to them? Will polish hurt the shoe, in the long term especially? Thanks for the help. I appreciate all the knowledge here!
