    Urgent help - wedding tomorrow - how to wear 3 piece suit correctly

    Thank you! By buckles I mean the outside of the trousers has buckles all the way around the outside for a belt to be slotted through. I think my trousers stay up without a belt but will need to double check. Never realised people did not wear belts with a 3 piece

    Do you cut the front bottom pockets on a suit jacket?

    I have read somewhere that you should not cut them as it helps keep the suit more in shape? You are also meant to never put anything in these pockets as it ruins the silhouete of the suit?

    Do calf leather shoes need a calf leather belt to match?

    I have purchased some black calf leather shoes and then this belt to go with them https://www.next.co.uk/g98271s9/621312#621312 It is a little shiny like you would get with corrected grain polished shoes, this results in the belt being shinier than my shoes. Is this a bad look or am I...

    Is this fault worth returning the show for or not?

    This is my first proper pair of shoes and they have this small nick on the side of the shoe. Should I be returning something like this or is it not worth worrying about?

    How much sleeve should be visible when wearing a jacket?

    When I put my hands on top of each other in front of me there is very small part of thr cuff which shows. Although when I put my hands straight at my side there is no cuff. Do I need to have the sleeves slightly shortened on the jacket? The jacket breaks exactly at my wrist. Or is it okay to...

    Loake 300 vs Loake 1880?

    Just received the 1880. You can tell they are a lot nicer so going to keep them and buy once and cry once. I did order a pair of perfects at £250 and a pair of factory seconds at £190. The issue I have with the seconds is this scratch / indent on the toe cap leather. Will it be something which...

    Loake 300 vs Loake 1880?

    Have just researched dainite soles . Will definitely go with them otherwise I am going to be worried I will skip over especially on the smooth floors you find inside. With the shoe horns any you recommend? They seem to go from £20-£100 and I am not sure what to get? Seems another rabbit hole!

    Loake 300 vs Loake 1880?

    Thanks for the insight, how often do you wear you Aldwych? Seriously considering changing my order now. Thinking if I pay the extra £90 for the little I use them might last a lifetime and look a lot nicer over the time period than the others. I was thinking of going for a rubber sole over...

    Loake 300 vs Loake 1880?

    I am looking at these two different shoe models. I can get the Loake 300 for £160 and the Loake 1880 Aldwych for £250. I will be wearing the shoes maybe two days a year for formal events as it is a black Oxford toe cap. Would I get any benefit from spending another £90? I am finding it hard...

    [Advice] - Groom outfit

    Thank you very much for getting back to me! I have ordered the pocket square so will pop a picture on with the boutonniere and tie to get your opinion. But as you say it might be busy so might be best to remove. What do you think to this jacket in comparison...

    Should you button a jacket if you have a waistcoat on?

    I am having a 3 piece suit as the groom at my wedding. I understand you only button the top jacket button (2-button jacket) and also leave the bottom button undone on the waistcoat. If I am wearing a waistcoat do I need to button any buttons on the jacket at any stage of the day? Is it also...

    Wide fit white trainers similar to common projects?

    Thanks for the great info. I usually have to get a mesh type trainer as they have a lot of give in then so even if they are wide fit it does not matter. I tried some "allbirds wool pipers" they stretched to my feet nicely. Was worried about how difficult they would be to keep clean , could...
