    Critique my new navy blazer

    All, a nice purchase here on Style Forum. I was hoping you all can weigh in on the fit. It is a Barney's house brand jacket. I think I'm going to put some pewter metal buttons on, as this is my only navy blazer. My biggest concern at the moment is the puckering of fabric between my shoulders...

    Hugo Boss Rossellini Model Suit 38R NWOT

    I've had this Hugo Boss suit sitting in my closet for over a year, it has never been worn out of the house. I have never been happy with the fit, and made the classic mistake of being sold by a salesman that they could make it work. Well, the waist was nipped in a little, and the sleeves...

    Hickey Freenman MTM - Good value at under $1000?

    So, there is a possibility that I can get a full MTM Hickey Freeman suit for under $1k, does this represent a great value? I should point out that whilst I do fit OTR clothes well, finding that size (36R) at discount in any kind of solid seems to me to be very hard. Please let me know your...

    J. Crew Blazer's Canvased?

    So, after looking at the legacy blazer today, I noticed the words "Chest-piece construction allows the fabric to drape beautifully". Is this J.Crew saying that there is half-canvas or gasp, full canvas? Thanks!

    Hugo Boss Pinstripe Suit, New

    So, this has been sitting in my closet for about 8 months now, never worn Hugo Boss Navy Pinstripe SV 3B suit, Rossellini Movie. It has alternating white and blue stripes. I bought this at a Boss boutique, and had it altered there but in the end it never fit quite right so i've never worn it...

    Nudie Slim Jim Dry Black 29/32

    Trying here before I eBay. For sale a pair of lighty worn (less then 10 times) never washed, Nudie Slim Jim Dry Black, size 29/32. They are just too tight for me to wear, so all they do is sit in my closet. Few nice creases starting behind the knees and in the thighs, I will try to get pics up...

    All, I'm looking for a versatile pair of black shoes to with trousers and a shirt as well as a full suit. Any thoughts on which would be preferred, the semi-brogue style or the cap toe?

    Nudie Slim Jim Dry Black Stretch?

    So, I finally took the plunge into dry denium on Saturday. I picked up some Slim Jim dry blacks. I have a question about the amount they will stretch. I have pretty athletic thighs, yet a small waist. So I got a 29/32. Now the waist has already stretched out a bit, but the thighs feel as though...

    CT Shoes return-refunded too much

    Ok, this may seem odd, but I just returned two pairs of shoes to CT after using the $100 discount code. I just received an email that I will be refunded the full price (i.e. $135 per shoe). Now, is this normal? I mean, I'm all for free money, but I have a conscience too, so I would want to do...

    Shoe fit advice needed!

    All- This may seem like a basic question, but how exactly is a nice dress shoe suppose to fit? I sort of went by the standard thumbnail width from end of the toe to the end of the shoe, is this correct? Or, because of the narrowing at the end of a dress shoe does this rule not hold. I'm asking...

    CT Shoes may not be restocked

    Just got off the phone with CT. I was hoping that they could give me an estimated restock date of the Black Semi-brouge and the Chestnut derby as I was going to return mine and just wait for the new shipment. However, I was informed that they have no dates for the next restock, and it has been...

    Fit of Polo Benton Oxfords

    All, I'm eyeing some of the Benton Oxfords offered by GVH on eBay. I have yet to buy my first pair of black dress shoes, and these seem like they will fit nicely as my lone pair. However, how true to size do they run? I remember trying on some Carlsons at a Last Call store, and feeling like...

    Returning a tailored suit.

    Hello all. I bought a Hugo Boss suit a couple months ago (I know, this was pre-forum knowledge). It was tailored for me in house. I went back to try it on, and still wasn't happy. The salesman said all would be fixed by further tailoring it. They did so, then sent it to me. I tried it on...

    All, I just purchased a pair of Cole Haan Harrison cap toes, very nice price of $99 for a goodyear welted calf leather shoe. that said, I'm curious about the fit. The toe is on the pointy side, so my largest toe is about an inch from the end. I have a bit of heal slip, but nothing excessive...

    Hello all, just posted this in AAAC style forum. Anyway, anyone have a pair of Cole Haan Harrison Cap toes? They are on sale and the picture isn't the best.
