    Does Paul Ryan only have one suit?

    And he seems to wear it as a sports coat as well. From the pictures on the news tonight- it seems to be quite big. Probably just a calculated contrast to Romneys nicely tailored threads. Not that there's anything wrong with that.. In his defense - the first two pictures seem to be...

    I need advice on how to dress to clubs, please help =)

    I don't think he needs to worry about any girls in the club, as he will be too young for any of them. Even if another 16-17 year old sneaks in there, they will want to talk to talk to the 18-21 year olds. The Shia LaBoeuf look is a bit too mature probably, but might make him incognito in the club.

    Online Custom Shirts

    HI there. There are a million threads about MTM on line shirts here. Many people start with jantzen tailor in Hong Kong http://www.jantzentailor.com/ Consider the first shirt or two expendable, as it will take you a time or two to adjust the measurements just right. Cost about $50-60/shirt

    What to do about shine on pants

    ONe of my older suits - a Canali, is starting to get a little shine on the pants - top of the thighs. Is there a way to "de-shine" them?. Took them to the cleaners - no luck. Time to retire, or is there something else to do.

    Where can I find a good Suit Tailor in Los Angeles area?

    Hi, I've had Wilshire Tailors do about 10 suits for me. There are racks filled with Brioni, purple label, Isaia, Kiton, etc that have been finished. He also does other clothing items - I've seen a pair of Mabitex pants there, and some peoples shirts. He is Eddie Murphys tailor - if that means...

    Buying from Vass

    Does Eva from Vass speak English? Just wondering, because I've sent emails to Vass previously without reply from them.

    How many wears can you get out of a high quality suit?

    +1. Rotation is key to a suit lasting a long time. Yes, and if one never wears them, they'll last even longer. The question is really not how long, but how many wears will they last. It's pointless to say my suit looks great after 10 years, if it's only worn once a month, or it looks like hell...

    Brioni Parlamento model, Neapolitan style?

    - B Uhhh - more importantly - why do you even have that on your computer. Perhaps now might be a good time to reflect on life and reassess ones life. I'm just saying.

    I am wearing a vintage midnight blue tux in a few weeks....

    It's been my impression that midnight blue is just as acceptable as black for a tux, or dinner jacket, and of equal formality. All of the references that I've looked up also concur.

    Benjamin Lucente? Both are too big. You're a 36R. I concur

    Crockett & Jones Belgrave Problem?

    I think the gents shoe folding stems from his high arches, or tall midfoot. My feet have very high arches, and most of my shoes fit this way. I can't go anyshorter, because my toes will hit the end. Not much can do, except go bespoke, or maybe shorter and wider shoe.

    Poll - One vs Two button Peak lapel Tuxedo

    I need to buy a Tux - will be wearing them several times a year. Question is this formal enough - midnight blue, two button, peak lapel, or will it become dated fast. Belvest makes this, but I'm not quite sure if I want to pull the trigger, and that's a problem I guess.

    Women advising men on how to dress?

    The only advice I'll take is a suggestion on which shirt tie combo looks better. As far as buying clothes/shoes, I buy all my own. It is reasonable, in the sake of a relationship, to listen what they like on you. Occasionally I will buy something to wear, just if they really like it. The...

    So what're we getting the wives for valentine's day this year?

    yes you have us beat I Dunno - I gave mine a divorce as well around Thanksgiving (well, in all honesty - no sex for over a year, and her telling me she'd rather hang out with her friends than me prompted that), and it is the gift that does keep on giving. Half the savings, and alimony ain't...

    Fit of RLPL vs Isia and Lanvin

    Hello, I'm looking for a tux, and saw a RLPL tux on sale for a reasonable price (peak lapel, single button). My somewhat new serious girlfriend has to go to award dinners (Grammy's, Golden Globes, etc) quite often, and so I'll be needing one. Question is the fit of RLPL vs Isia and Lanvin. I...
