    Cheaney Imperial Oxfords with INSANE Beveled Fiddle Waist / Lickable Painted sole treatment

    I took one for the team and purchased these "heinous" shoes. :slayer: While I will wear them proudly, I don't know about licking the soles...

    Chan pricing

    Anybody know whether Chan does discounts if you order more than one suit? I'm doubting it, but given that so much work is in the creation of the pattern, I thought it worth asking.

    Our Ebay shop getting up and running

    I'm one of the people that received the incorrectly sized double-monk but discovered (much to my joy) that the shoes delivered actually fit. They're great shoes, BTW.

    Are High Price Shaving Creams Really Worth It?

    Can anybody recommend where to get a decent travel-size shaving gel/foam? I use Proraso and Nancy Boy when I'm at home, but I need to find something in a small container (less than 3 ounces) for traveling.

    New Suit. Meat Enclosed. Lots of Pics.

    I don't think it's all that bad, but since you asked for comments, I'll give mine (apologies if it seems that I'm being overly critical- just pointing out things I noticed): In the first pic, the gorge strikes me as too high (as somebody has mentioned, it draws attention which strikes me as...

    Bourbon Anyone?

    Is William Lerue Weller a wheated bourbon or rye bourbon? My favorite is Maker's Mark, especially in a mint julep at the Kentucky Derby, but I'm willing to give other similar bourbons a shot if people tell me they have the same smooth finish.

    Changing Monk Strap Buckle?

    I'd love to hear the answer to this myself.

    Shirt with crotch band? Is this common? http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-895-House-of...QQcmdZViewItem That could seriously interfere with my luxurious RL Purple Label men's thong. Bought used off of ebay, of course!

    DC Shopping Update

    Anybody have any info on the new Filene's Basement going in at Tyson's Corner? Given the location, I'm thinking that thing has potential!

    Fit and Cut (Slacks) of a few Labels

    I've done way too many squats and deadlifts, so I have more trouble with pants than any other clothing item. I have a few pair of RLBL that I have sized up and had the waist taken in. The fit isn't perfect but it's doable and RLBL pants are available at discounts sometimes. Ralph Lauren Purple...

    Foods which are not bad for you - list em

    Maybe I'm weird, but when I'm trying to cut fat, I find it helpful to break foods down by macro. So, for protein, I try to stick to egg whites, tuna, chicken breasts and turkey. For carbs, vegetables (typically brocolli), brown rice, low-carb high-fiber tortillas, whole wheat light bread (45...

    Damn Brioni Ties

    Assuming it wasn't lost in the Great Crash of 2006, I had a thread in here where I provided side-by-side pictures of one of the fakes from ebay and a legit Brioni tie from a B&M store. The chain in the fake was slightly off, but more importantly, the fake had no serial number. The quality...

    ebay Second Chance Notice

    After careful deliberation, I've decided to pass up the opportunity to purchase the shoes through a BIN for the exact amount of my high bid through the Second Chance Offer. Although I was willing to pay that amount originally, I had also placed the bid with the hope that it would go for less...

    ebay Second Chance Notice

    Interesting. In this case, I recevied the Second Chance Offer about 20 minutes after the auction ended. That led me to suspect something weird was going on. I was the next-highest bidder, but the bid below mine was significantly below.

    ebay Second Chance Notice

    Against my better judgment, I recently placed a bid on a pair of shoes on ebay several hours prior to expiration of the auction (blame the playoffs). Sure enough, somebody outbid me and won the shoes. Now I have received a Second Chance Notice from ebay saying that I can have the item for my...

    Slim fit non iron by CT

    FWIW, I have several CT non-iron slim fits and several BB non-iron slim fits. I actually prefer the collar and sleeves of the BB ones. For some reason, the CTs' collars and sleeves still need some ironing, whereas the BB ones seem great right out of the dryer. I prefer the fabrics of the CT...

    Perhaps you can settle for an Oxxford guanaco overcoat, 42R: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200061099225 I love how his description includes estimates of the population of Llama in South America. I always check on that before buying an overcoat.

    Anyone know if this is real Brioni?

    FWIW. I've bought a tie from this seller and agree it's fake. My authentic Brioni has the box with the number on wide blade, if you look up under the folded portion.

    How do you pair lighter colored ties?

    I completely agree that lighter ties are difficult to pair properly and work best in spring and summer. I have several beige and off-white ties that I find hard to pair with suits. They have been relegated to sport coat duty, where they now serve admirably, if rarely.
