The Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts
Has anyone compared the TM Lewin slim fit windsor shirts to Calvin Klein's slim fit non iron shirts (something similar to, but not exaclty like this: http://www.calvinklein.com/product/i...uctId=3303410), in terms of fit? I just bought 2 of the CKs from the prim outlets and like them a lot. The...- samba

Wedding Outfit (pics)
I'm also on the too much purple bandwagon. I also learned something today re the silver/black ties for weddings. I also have a few weddings comming up, and will look to see if I find more traditional ties I like. Last year attended a wedding and wore a very nice pink (yes, I know) tie...all...- samba

Tuxedo Shirt
Read the black tie guide link posted in the first page, it has all the info you need. The most formal and traditional shirt, IMO (but as the author of the link notes, it's argued to be the realm of white tie, a no-no in England, and if you are fat forget about it), is a wing collar NO pleats...- samba

Best Tux Shirts?
I got my classic tux shirt at paul stewart. It's perfect: slim fitting, with correct bib, NO pleats, wing tip collar, of course, french cuff. I despise those who wear a fold down collar with a bowtie (even though it is supposed to be the more modern look).- samba

Dinner Date
I don't like the way any jacket looks on me with jeans, it's just not my style. The only jeans I wear, for the most part, are true religion-and I wouldn't wear jeans to this restaurant. I also shy away from dress shoes with jeans, I think it looks stupid on me. It's just a rule I have. The...- samba

Dinner Date
I'm 26, she's 22. It's a nice place, but a jacket is not encouraged. It's hard to judge a restaurant based on my description alone. A filet will run you about 60 bucks, does that help I'm leaning towards the white shirt, no tie. I think the suit is a bit much for the first date, and the...- samba

Dinner Date
What kind of restaurant are you going? A white tablecloth 5 star joint where a jacket is encouraged? How old are you? Your date? Depending on the answers above, I would go either full suit (jacket and tie) -- and btw, I don't like any of the ties (too business like, but if forced to pick...- samba

Astor & Black or Balani experience?
A quick internet search reveals that "Astor & Black" is a new business venture owned by the same corporation that owns Filene's Basement. Essentially, it's a made up name. Salespeople, not the tailors who will be making your suits, take your measurements and the info is sent to China where your...- samba

Astor & Black or Balani experience?
Yes, supposedly fully canvased. Paid $675, for a 120's solid wool by "Bruno McKenzie" (no idea if that is a decent fabric -- Is it?). I wanted something "cheap" to start with. I have no idea how it will turn out. I'm a bit nervous, but hoping for the best. The guy actually came to my house, late...- samba

Astor & Black or Balani experience?
Hello Gents: New to the forum. What a great find this is. I searched for both terms and read every post on AB (last one on Feb 4) and the single (not helpful) post on Balani (http://www.balaniclothiers.com/). I live in Chicago. I realize that these are not "high end" clothiers, but I do have a...- samba
