    Corneliani suit question

    I was at Off 5th over the weekend and was surprised to see some fused Corneliani suits, labeled "Corneliani Trend" and "Corneliani Collection."  I have a Linea Sartoria suit that has a floating front (and there were others in the store, as well), but I thought it worth...

    Selling on ebay

    Hello, all -- I thought this deserved a new thread.  Like many on this board, I have often thought about buying great finds and reselling them on Ebay as a way to finance my clothing habit.  Having never done it, I would be interested to hear from those who have about strategies, tips and...

    Hilditch & key online

    Sorry, Man. If it's any consolation, I sent a catalog request via e-mail several months ago that was never answered, either.

    Hilditch & key online

    New & Lingwood is currently having a internet sale -- 3 shirts for 138 Pounds. Subtracting VAT for U.S. orders, that comes to around $70 per shirt before shipping. See www.newandlingwood.com. Can anyone comment on the cut and quality of these shirts as compared to H&K or T&A?

    The cut of dress shirts

    I have the same fit problem (5'10", 16.5/34 with a 33 waist). I have found two solutions: (1) my local men's store will take in the side seams of shirts purchased there for $10, and (2) a local tailor will do the same for my other shirts for $15. I believe they also taper the sleeves a bit...

    Alexander mcqueen suits

    Hello, all. Bluefly has some Alexander McQueen suits available at what seem to be decent prices, but I have not seen any of his suits in person. Can anyone comment on the construction or general merits of his RTW stuff? Many thanks.

    Attn lawyers - latin pronunciation

    The most common pronounciations I've heard (and used) are "bona fide" to rhyme with "hide" and "prima facie" as "preema faysha." "En banc" I've heard as ""ahn bahnc" and "ahn bank." The former is probably more correct...

    Steroids???

    As a former competitive weightlifter, who has seen (though not experienced) firsthand the damage steroids can do, I hope that no one will do Mr. Pope the disservice of answering this question. If you like the idea of hair loss, shriveling testicles, uncontrollable rage, liver damage, water...

    Guide to surviving law school

    Continuing my last post (keystroke error). . . . 2. Within the parameters of the question, be sure to show the professor what you know. One of the biggest mistakes in exam-writing is to state conclusions without explaining how you drew those conclusions. ALWAYS use specific facts to illustrate...

    Guide to surviving law school

    I teach law school (criminal law, criminal procedure and civil procedure) so I thought I'd throw my $0.02 into this topic. I agree with most of what others have said, especially in the emphasis on exam-taking skills. In that connection, here are a couple of tips: 1. In answering essay...

    Joseph abboud suits

    A couple of my local stores are carrying Joseph Abboud suits. I haven't looked at them closely, but they seem attractively priced at about $7-1100. Does anyone who is more familiar with them have any thoughts on overall quality, value for money, how they compare to other stuff in that price...

    Conspicious consumption

    I personally find the idea of logo clothing rather cynical: designers exact a premium for the goods, which in turn serve as roaming advertisements so they can sell more goods to more people at more premiums. It's a marketing scam that often preys on peoples' insecurities or designer-created...

    A thought.

    In response to bsmith: Â people who know clothes will know clothes (yours and theirs), and there's not much to be done about that. Â However, (1) not everyone who wears expensive clothes really knows clothes, and (2) not everyone is judgmental enough to condemn somebody because of what they're...

    A thought.

    As others imply, "cheap," "expensive" and "worth the money" are relative concepts. I am one who would have to budget carefully to buy $1,000 suits, but who would find them worth the cost if they were high-quality and nicely styled. Don't forget, too, that the cost...

    Ike behar and other dress shirts

    Greetings, gentlemen (and ladies?) I have enjoyed reading this forum -- quite a bit more informative and adult than some others I've seen. I'd like to tap your collective wisdom on higher-end dress shirts. I am trying to revamp my closet, and I was looking at the selection of Ike Behar shirts at...
