    Hi, Here are some pictures of my recent purchase of Levis 514. I have found them in W33 L34. Note that I don't necessarily want skinny jeans but will try on the 511. And don't critic the shoes because they are not shoes I'm wearing... Thank you François

    Critique the fit of these two pairs of jeans

    Hi everyone. At first I wanted a pair of Levis 514 but here in Canada I can't find 33×34. I could only find 32×34 but they are a little tight and 34×34 but they are too baggy. Once salesperson told me that I should go with 32×34 and said that Levis jeans (100% cotton) stretch better then...

    Ralph Lauren made in China!?

    Hello. I'm from Canada, in MontrÃal and went browsing clothes downtown. I went to The Bay and was pleased to find out that they started selling the Ralph Lauren line again. But I noticed the "made in China" tag. I know this brand is very popular here and seems to be considered the best but how...

    width of rib knit crew neck on basic tees

    hi everyone. I bought these tees and think the rib knit is a bit wide. Do you think it looks more stylish when the rib knit crew neck is narrower and or seamless? Thank you Frankie P.S. I posted this in streetwear section but my post disappeared. Maybe a moderator removed it thinking it was...

    Critique the fit of this casual outfit (polo shirt and jeans)

    Hi everyone. I've never worn polo shirts (aka tennis shirts). I bought this one at a Tommy Hilfiger outlet here. It's a classic kind of fit as opposed to a fitted one. I think it should be more fitted around the waist but want to hear your comments about sleeve lenght, if I should wear it tuck...

    Most versatile shade of brown?

    If you had to have only one pair of brown shoes, which shade of Allen Edmonds brown would you choose between: Brown burnished; Merlot; Chili; Chestnut; Walnut; Cognac; I'm guessing, get brown burnished first, then cognac or chestnut, then merlot/burgundy? What do you think? Thank you...

    Hand washing merino wool sweaters

    Hi, I have a medium gray merino wool sweater. But I plan on buying a black v-neck merino wool sweater and a charcoal gray crew neck merino wool. Should I use Zero by Woolite dark wash on all of them including medium gray? There's a black bottle and a navy bottle and both say "dark wash", is...

    Looking for a simple windbreaker, 60/40 cloth!?

    Hi, I'm looking for a windbreaker. I checked out Gap and found this jacket: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do...siteID=2178999 Shell is made of 60% cotton and 40% nylon, a fabric that dates back I believe to pre-Gore-Tex when Sierra Design made their Mountain parka. The fabric has a...

    Critique this business casual outfit please

    Hi, please forgive the shoes and don't consider them. I'll get brown blucher wingtips or something, not these chunky outdoor nubuck shoes (Lowa). The shirt is Hilfiger OCBD I guess "french blue" and the khaki chinos are really cheap from Sears. A brand called Retreat. I only paid $20. At least...

    I tried on AE Delray...

    ... at an authorized dealer store. Normally I wear 12D but these shoes have a pointy toe so to speak. They suggested I try a 10.5E and found it strange. I walked a bit around the store and thought the edge kind of hurted my feet a little. The saleperson told it's normal and dress shoes like that...

    Can I get away with Bostonian shoes

    Hi, I'm looking at shoes for business casual to go with flat front wool odd trousers. Basically a leather split-toe lace-up blucher that would ideally have a stiched leather sole. I don't have to wear suits very often so I don't need a Balmoral, and besides I have flat feet and I think you...

    Corduroy and wales

    Hi, I'm looking for camel color corduroys. What is considered "medium wale"? Is 4-wale the widest wale? And should they be designed like khakis with slanted pockets and a pleat or like jeans? Do you have any brand recommendations that are affordable? Thanks Frankie

    Recommendations for a basic outfit

    How can I improve the "Wednesday outfit": For the basic gray wool trousers, I was thinking of going to Harry Rosen and try on Samuelsohn odd trousers in medium gray or charcoal twill wool with a single pleat or just flat front. Or should I just go to Banana Republic? If you only had one pair...

    My inverted triangle face (picture) (questions)

    This is my long inverted triangle face and long neck. My questions are: 1. Do these AO Original Pilot sunglasses in 52mm suit my face? They are the same as in Apocalypse Now, a square version of aviator sunglasses. I have trouble finding narrow enough sunglasses in the malls. Should I go with...
