    Cole Haan Coats: Fit?

    I'm looking at buying a Cole Haan duffle coat online, but the only size left is a medium. I am normally a 38R in jackets, and can be a small or medium in outerwear. I've read reviews of similar Cole Haan coats on different sites, but there is conflicting opinion on whether these coats fit big...

    Popped Lapels on Blazers/Sport Jackets?

    Thumbing through the September issues of GQ and Details today, I noticed that a lot of ads show blazers/sport coats with their lapels 'popped.' Now I haven't popped a collar since my high school Lacostes back in the day, but I think I like how most of these jackets look worn this way. Opinions?

    New Ralph Lauren Black Label Wide-Legged Jeans: Opinions?

    I just picked up the September GQ today, and on the inside front cover is a gatefold ad for Ralph Lauren Black Label Denim. One of the shots is of some very wide-legged jeans. I think I like how they are styled in that photo (although I think the sweater is about 30% too tight), but the price...

    Recommend a White Sneaker for Summer

    I'm looking for a mostly white (with some grey/tan accents also okay) sneaker or sneaker-type shoe to wear with khakis and shorts this summer. I like a low-profile shoe that doesn't look too athtletic or have obvious branding. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Looking for decent bathing suits!

    I need some new bathing suits for an upcoming trip to Mexico. I can't find what I'm looking for in local stores and have had limited luck searching online. Can anyone recommend a website/retailer that has simple trunks in a solid colour or conservative print with a non-elasticized waist band...

    Michael Kors on Gilt.com- Blech!

    I was looking forward to the Michael Kors sale on gilt.com today. I've seen his runway collections for women and like his point of view. This stuff on gilt.com, though, is terrible! Does he have multiple lines or is this it for his menswear collection?

    Sweater Alterations: Possible?

    I have a couple of v-neck sweaters (one is merino wool, the other a wool/silk/cashmere blend) that seem like they could be more fitted. Is it possible to have a tailor take them in at the sides (there is a seam there)? Has anyone had this done with good results?

    Opinions on Brooks Brothers Loafers?

    http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...Parent_Id=305# http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...lt_color=Black Haven't bought Brooks Brothers shoes before. Looking for a dressy-casual loafer and thought either of these might fit the bill. How is the price-quality-value ratio on these? There's an...

    How to Spend a Gift Certificate?

    I received a $250 gift certificate for a local high-end menswear store. I'm debating about how to spend it: put $250 towards a high-priced item like a jacket or good shoes, or buy something small and frivolous, like one or two neckties... How would you spend it?

    Which BB shoes should I buy?

    I would like to take advantage of the BB online sale that ends tomorrow. There are some great deals on shoes. The two I like best (or rather, styles I don't already have) are below. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks! http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatP...t_color=Cognac...

    LF boat shoe recommendations

    I think I'd like to get a pair of boat shoes to wear with shorts this summer. Since I've already lived through that trend once in high school in the 1980's, I'm looking for something a bit different than your classic Sperry. I'd like something a little more 'streamlined' - perhaps a bit...

    Anyone buy the Scarlett Johansson CD yet?

    I saw the video for "Falling Down" on YouTube, then heard the song on the radio today... cool sound - sleepy, moody, atmospheric... I've read two good reviews and one that trashed it. Has anyone heard more of it?

    Opinions on these Cartier aviators?

    These are coming up for auction locally and I think I may bid on them. I'm not sure though if they are cool vintage or just too 80's. Also, does anyone have an estimate on value or what a good reserve bid might be? I tried searching eBay but found very wide ranging prices. Any opinions are...

    Anyone shopped at Tom's Place in Kensington Market, Toronto?

    I was in Toronto last week and passed by a store called "Tom's Place" in Kensington Market that advertised designer brands at discount prices. I'll be back in Toronto next weekend and am wondering if it's worth going back to.

    Temporary Insanity on eBay

    Okay, so while killing time browsing on eBay I saw this Gianfranco Ferre blazer going for a song ($49.99). I already own three of his jackets and a few shirts & sweaters (which I love), so I jumped on it. Well, it arrived yesterday, and let's just say - IT'S HIDEOUS!!! What was I thinking?!? I...

    Shopping in Venice? What to Pack?

    I'm off to Venice for a week's holiday on Friday. Has anyone been recently? Any recommended shops for interesting clothing/accessories that won't be readily found everywhere else? Looking forward to checking out Ottica Carraro for some new eyeglass frames- otherwise, not sure. Also, weather's...

    Bikkembergs - Good Brand?

    Tried on a charcoal denim fitted shirt (slight military references) by Bikkembergs at a local Winners yesterday (think Marshalls if you are in the US). It's reduced to $50, and the "Compare At" price is $240. This is the first time I've seen this brand/designer and it was the only one like it...
