    Outfit for Debutante Ball...

    I have never been to a deb ball but all of the photos I have seen in the newspapers suggest that white tie is the appropriate attire for the escorts. Max

    WW chan cheaper?

    Another possible difference between the Hong Kong and the tour price is that the tour price includes shipping and custom duties. Since I never order in Hong Kong, does the Hong Kong price include shipping and customs? Max

    Does Flusser ever Look Good?

    1) Only the last book, DtM has the complexion stuff, and Flusser shot himself in the balls by doctoring the pics. (BTW, mafoo, I don't think he necessarily recommends black for you, just "high contrast." Still, I agree with you that I think complexion matching is bunk, and I ignore it.) 2) The...

    10 pairs of Allen Edmonds..excessive?

    I have sixteen pairs of AE which is about half of my shoe collection. Since I have very narrow feet, AE provides a greater variety of sizes. Max

    Hong Kong Tailor Report from A Suitable Wardrobe

    I would question whether Chan gets "a few hundred orders" from each U.S. tour. They have 11 days scheduled for meeting customers. Let's say they meet 20 customers per day day (a very optimistic figure, since new customers need an hour for measuring), that gives us a maximum of 220 orders for...

    Are Allen Edmonds from SierraTradingPost factory seconds ?

    I have bought three pairs of AEs from Sierra and two of them came with the original boxes. The other I believe was in a white box without the extra shoelaces. The most recent pair came with the extra shoelaces and shoe bags. Max

    First pair of Shoes, narrow, flat feet

    Sartorian, I feel the same frustration sometimes. The best fitting RTW shoe I have is a 11A Brown AE Park Avenue. I have other AE's from B to AA widths--some fit better than others. It is frustrating seeing all these wonderful shoes especially English shoes that are two wide for my feet...

    First pair of Shoes, narrow, flat feet

    I have narrow, flat feet and my shoe wardrobe consists primarily of Allen Edmonds although I recently purchased a G & G bespoke shoe. I have found that there are not that many English shoe manufacturers that make narrow widths. Also, Alden have some models in a narrow width. You might consider...
