    Do you have pics of the Tux? I don't have pics myself but here's a link to the tux. http://us.topman.com/webapp/wcs/stor...5374&langId=-1

    Topman Suits

    I was thinking of buying the tux from topman because I'm a really small guy. Small enough that anything slim fit I've ever tried on looks regular on me. Stylistically, I don't see anything trendy about it. Black, 2 button, "satin" peak lapel. All for $300. No, it's not for prom. I'm...

    How easy is it for a tailor to take in the waist of a suit? Can it ruin the integrity of the suit like when you attempt to alter the shoulders? Also, if you hem the sleeves significantly, what happens to the buttons? Does a tailor move them up as well or will there just be less space...

    The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

    Does anyone know of any other watches that allow for exhanging nylon straps aside from the J. Crew Timex one? I like the strap options but I don't like the watch itself. Sorry if this is the worng place to ask.

    Clothing for small guy

    It's nice to hear a lot more people than I thought have a similar problem to me. I'm 5'4 118-123 lbs. This tip is pretty exclusive to button up dress shirts. If you're looking for an off the rack brand I found only ONE dress shirt has fit me well and that is an XS slim fit shirt from Express...

    Looking for some suit brand recommendations

    If you're not gonna cough up at least 1g I would reccomend just sticking to retail brands like H&M, J. Crew, Express, or Banana Republic. Do your research on what slim fit suits they offer, then go to the stores and find which brand offers the BEST fit for your body by physically trying them...

    Can tailors alter ties to be slimmer? It sounds like an easy enough job but would it ruin the integrity of a tie?

    Black Tie

    I have a question about what people thought about black neck ties. I'm currently trying to buy 3 ties to build up my wardrobe. I'm considering getting a solid navy silk tie, a dark red repp tie with white and navy stripes, and a black knit tie. My question is are black ties really all that...

    I've read a lot about grey flannel suits or at the very least grey flannel trousers being essential to a wardrobe. However, I can't quite figure out what makes a suit flannel and not the more commonly understood "flannelette" which most people call flannel. And while I'm asking, what...

    Suit jacket, sports coats, and blazers.

    I didn't see a small questions thread so hopefully I don't get too much heat but I've been reading up on men's fashion for quite some time now but I still don't know the difference between a suit jacket, a sports coat, and a blazer. Augmented by the fact that many of my peers seem to use it...

    New Levi's rigid jacket? (Type 1)

    I actually bought this jacket in Las Vegas a couple days ago. It fits larger than normal so I'm hoping it'll shrink after a long warm soak. I asked 4 employees and no one could tell me with certainty that it's Shrink-to-fit but guesstimated I was correct in assuming it would be.

    weight gainers

    That's absolutely untrue and potentially counterproductive advice. There are many workouts that induce large amounts of hypertrophy with 3 days a week of lifting, including HST. Overtraining is one of the worst things a beginner can do. He should be gaining weight with even a rudimentary workout...

    Olive Garden vs. Red Lobster

    I always found the food I ate at OG to be terrible while my one experience at RL to be pretty damn good (and it should have been considering it was one of their most expensive menu items). Food aside, I also found OG's service to be just as bad. Never really had a good experience one way or...

    Going on a Diet

    That's awesome! I'm actually trying to help my ex-girlfriend lose a bit of weight and no she's not this skinny little thing that's attempting to be 90 lbs. Since no one knows me, it should be safe to say she's 166 lbs and 5'2 and trying to reach 120 lbs. It's hard especially because I have...

    How do you cross your legs?

    yeah I dont like the ballcruncher way either, so I tend to bare my sole to the world. I also have a weird habit of crossing my legs and sitting on my foot. IE position 2 but with the foot under the thigh. Not sure where I picked that up from. I also do that occasionally. But I ususally do it...

    San Francisco suit tailor

    Hi everyone. I just wanted to know if any could suggest a suit tailor in San Francisco. I need to adjust the length of my trousers by Friday. I've been going to Cable Car Tailors but feel a desire to try new things. I'm only altering the length though so would it even make a difference where I...

    I really would like to know this too. I saw that other SF thread but didn't really see much worth going out of my way for. Does anyone know if Jaime's has a website or address?
