    Which Tom Ford frame is "Drive" director Nicolas Rehn wearing?

    Usually I could tell these things with a cursory glance over at the eyeglasses catalog on tomford.com, but I am stumped by this one. Your expert eyes are appreciated. Here is a pic of the dude (on the left):

    Shortening the shoulder width on a suit jacket - is it ever a good idea (and could be done well)?

    In my youthful days, I used to think that minor alterations to the shoulder width was a consistently good, and not so costly way, of making an off the rack jacket look better. ... or least so I thought, until several days ago where upon closer examination of a thrifted RLBL jacket that I had...

    Just how DO you clean a waxed jacket?

    Cheers all, My gf recently acquired a waxed cotton jacket with textile originated from a certain "British Millerain Co." We were both taken aback by the cleaning instructions, which noted: "SPOT CLEAN DO NOT DRY CLEAN DO NOT BLEACH DO NOT TUMBLE DRY DO NOT IRON." :fu: I feel a bit uneasy not...

    Are brown shoes less "formal" than black shoes for the workplace?

    Before I embark on purchasing a nice pair of cap toe shoes, I'd appreciate your opinion on this matter. I have read somewhere (I believe it was from Bernhard Roetzel's "Gentleman") that, in more sartorially inclined cultures, brown shoes are not appropriate for many occasions, including work...

    Wool fibers coming off...? Whats going on?

    ::confused face:: I had brought a RLBL Anthony suit sometime last December while still in school, and never had much of a chance to wear it until recently. I noticed upon close examination that some of the wool fibers on the sleeves were coming off - they appear as very thin and fine white...

    Preventing neck stains

    I had looked/lurked quite a bit on this issue, and have found many helpful guides here on removing neck stains, but not so much on preventing them in the first place. Granted, the best solution is to not perspire entirely, but are there any after-wear treatments that could help reduce the build...

    Sewing your own functional button holes?

    Is this something difficult to attempt for someone (me) with only elementary knowledge and experience in sewing? Often tailors charge an arm and leg per button hole, but the actual work does not appear to warrant such high prices... or does it? My understanding is that functioning button holes...

    What is SF's opinion on NY Satorialist/M. Cress

    I find some of his ensembles ... out of place. I do, however, appreciate his blog and some of the profiles he did of prominent individuals residing in NY . PS. It seems I missed a 'r' - "Sartorialist"

    What do you guys think of my Tom Ford frames?

    As you know, I had posted these frames for sale on the FS section earlier today. Feeling sentimental, I decided to have my girlfrend try them on.. and here are the results (see below) I honestly don't think I should be selling these, as she looks great with them. However, she would like to hear...

    How to keep the collars of your polo shirts "new" looking?

    Sorry I do not have a photo to better illustrate this. I have noticed that the collars of my polo shirts tend to get.. "rounded-out" after a few washes. They lose their vitality and definition, and just look crumpled up (and makes me want to wear them less..). Of course some people prefer this...

    Difference between half-canvassed and full-canvased suit lining?

    Namely, where does lining cover with regard to the overall structure of the suit jacket (i.e. sleeves, front chest area, etc) I was considering a Burberry suit (not made by HF, but their new italian contractor) on sale, and was told that it was half canvassed. I could feel the canvass while I...

    Which makers/designers of men's suits are slim/modern fits?

    For example, I know that the following makers either have one of their lines devoted to suits in a slimmer cut, or are all designed in such a style: * Ralph Lauren Black Label - canvassed * Burberry (with their Italian made suits) - half canvassed * Paul Smith - canvassed * Versace collection...

    My canvassed suit is bubbling? WTF?

    I had just gotten my Canali suit back from the dry cleaners, and it seems that there are small signs of bubbling at the lapels, as well as some more noticable bubbles at the midchest area. I thought that by paying more by buying a fully canvassed suit (from their boutique on 25 Broad), bubbling...

    Does Dick Fuld (former Lehman CEO) wear fused suits?

    Please note the image below: http://www.reuters.com/resources/r/?...NANCIAL-LEHMAN Am I seeing things incorrectly or do those look like bubbles on his lapel?
