Polos -- Proper fit & do they shrink or stretch?
I'm picking up some Mack Weldon vesper polos that I'll launder and dry as in the instructions--I have an apartment so line drying a full basket of laundry is not very convenient :| So for this the challenge is that the large seems good, but will be snug if it shrinks.

How are work cardigans supposed to fit? (and other elegant sweaters in general)
Are sizing guidelines for office knitwear the same as for casual? Does it depend on the material? I know work sweaters will tend to be lighter for one thing. I have an H&M cardigan which is a size medium here below, but I'm wondering if to size up to a large. It's interesting, I'm ok wearing...- superseiyan

OTR Dress Shirts

Ties to match plaid suits
Hi guys, what kind of ties do you wear with plaid (usually grey, charcoal or a combination) suits? I'm thinking solid silver or solid black is what's there to play with. This is for a work/business environment.- superseiyan
