    Thoughts on Elbow Patches (Sport Jackets)?

    I don't currently own any sport jackets with elbow patches, but I have seen a one or two before in person (really only on brown jackets) and I like the idea of possibly adding patches to one of my jackets. This would be for aesthetic purposes only since none of my jacket elbows have blown out...

    Black Belt and Tan Dress Shoes....

    Obviously, it is typically almost always recommended to match belt & shoe color or at least have only both be black or both be a shade of brown. I pretty much always follow this rule. However, I once saw a man (who dresses extremely well and wears different designer and bespoke suits/sport coats...

    Washing Dress Shirts & Separating Colors?

    I wear a dress shirt for work every day, with the exception of sometimes wearing polos on Friday's. They need to be washed after every wear and I cannot get away with multiple wears as I work 10+ hours each day and they always have a slight "sweat ring" around the neck collar. I currently wash...

    Appropriate Seasons for a Suit/Sportcoat?

    I own quite a few suits and sportscoats and live in Houston, where it is hot and humid 8 or 9 months out of the year. For this reason, most of my sportscoats are of a lighter weight and even though I work in a climate controlled office I will not wear the few heavier weight jackets I own during...

    How do you get a SUPER crisp presidential fold that lasts all day?

    I wear a sports jacket almost every day for work and with a pocket square 90% of the time. I almost exclusively wear silk pocket squares in a "puff" fold or a white linen pocket square with a presidential fold. However, with the linen presidential folds I find myself re-adjusting more often...

    What Do You Do with Chinos In-Between Wears?

    I have been washing my chinos after every wear but am curious if I can possibly get 2 or more in before washing again. After a full day of wearing mine definitely have some creases and sometimes debris (not necessarily stains). When y'all wear a pair more than once do you do anything in between...

    Blue & Purple Dress Shirt Inspiration

    I find it extremely easy to match my white/cream/black dress shirts to pretty much any jacket & trouser combination. I own a ton of blue and purple/lilac dress shirt but have find it significantly harder to pair them with my jackets & trousers. Does anybody have any advice or inspiration to...

    Issue Washing Dress Shirts

    I have recently started washing and ironing my dress shirts and I've had an issue with a few of them after removing them from the washing machine. There are "spots" on them, and my best guess is that it is from some of the detergent that was not rinsed away (but not entirely sure what is causing...

    Sport Coats (&linings) in the Heat

    I live in Louisiana and Texas. For most of the year it is very warm and very humid. About a year ago when I first started working I was having an issue with my wool trousers and getting very sweaty and admittedly smelly. I removed (cut out) the synthetic lining from my wool trousers and the...

    White with cream/off white pocket square/shirt

    Is it ok to wear a cream dress shirt with a white pocket square? Or an off white pocket square with a white shirt? Is there an issue with the colors being too close but not exactly the same? Would it just be best to have a different color/more contrast?

    Pocket Squares to Match?

    Could anybody please tell me what pocket squares might compliment this sports jacket well? I have included a picture of it, however I am planning on not wearing a tie and I am open to any shirt color/pocket square recommendations. I am having a hard time thinking of anything besides a white...

    Picking Between Two Suit Jacket Sizes?

    Almost all of my jackets were Spier & Mackay size 38 slim. I gained a few pounds and had my tailor retake my measurements and my chest was 40". I decided to buy my next suit in size 40 slim and I like it, but I think most of my 38 jackets & blazers still look fine. I'm trying to determine which...

    How many Sports Coats?

    If one were to only own 2 sports jackets and wear them 4 out of 5 days to work it would become extremely obvious that you only own 2. How many sports jackets would one need to own to be refreshing and not look like you are wearing the same stuff over and over and over.

    Are bomber jackets ok in a business casual setting?

    I work in an office where there is a "business casual" dress code, however almost no men wear suit jackets or sports coats, and jeans are not allowed on most days. Some of the more senior people can dress extremely casually and get away with it; but I am a new hire out of college with no such...

    How much has your jacket size changed over the years?

    I am hesitant to invest in more sports jackets and suits because I don't know if my size could change in the future. I don't know exactly how the sizing works, but I would be interested to know if any of you have had significant changes in chest/shoulder size in your adult years. I want to avoid...

    Getting a Perfect Presidential Fold? (pocket square)

    I love pocket squares. I won't wear a suit without one. I only personally wear two folds 99.9% of the time: The presidential and the puff. While I have worn both many times I still have a hard time getting a perfect presidential fold that looks crisp with a straight edge, that fits perfectly in...

    Remove polyester lining from trousers?

    Since I started my desk job I have been getting terribly hot, sweaty, and smelly (in the legs/crotch) on days I wear polyester trousers or trousers with polyester linings. I know this is the issue because the same never happens when I wear cotton jeans/chinos. Can I remove the polyester lining...

    Dress shirt & chest hair

    I think that generally, with a suit jacket & no tie, having two buttons undone on your dress shirt looks better than just one. However, I am a man with a pretty hairy chest and I know some people would not want to see that; especially in a work environment. I definitely do not want to get...

    Maroon/Burgundy Suits?

    My school color is maroon and I would love a maroon suit, however I have had an extremely hard time finding one. What are y'alls thoughts on a maroon suit (or maybe just a sports coat) and do you know of anywhere to buy a decent one? Thanks!

    Burgundy Belts (& Shoes)

    How would y'all build an outfit around a burgundy belt? What would you wear with it? And would you only wear it with burgundy shoes, or could it work with various shades of brown? Maroon/burgundy is my school color and I'm considering pulling the trigger on a maroon belt and pair of shoes from...
