    BEST SLIM FIT khakis?

    I just picked up a couple of pairs of the BB Milano Chinos at the Madison Avenue store. They are definitely the real deal in terms of being low-rise and cut slim...I also liked the quality although we will see how they hold up.

    Just finished a 20 day water fast

    I am not defending what the OP says about cleansing toxins and the like but it is established that low calorie diets increase longevity and I have seen nothing to indicate that fasting is damaging to the body...20 days seems extreme but I doubt it was harmful to him. I occasionally fast for...

    Wearing a suit with suspenders to a nightclub

    There are community college's in the UK? Thought that was an american thing? I am wondering if you are even English. Anyway, no one that was really "born rich" goes around telling people how rich they are, muchless talking about it on a message board. I can go back to 18 years or so ago, when I...

    Mad Men costumes - discuss

    I thought the charcoal suit, with grey hat and trench coat that Don was wearing in the episode last night was awesome. However, I also think that the theme of the season so far is to cast Draper as a pathetic old drunk who is being marginalized at work by the younger workers...I think thats why...

    The Banker Bag? Wall Streeters please chime in

    +1,000 I live in Chicago, but my kid sister is in Manhattan (at Columbia Business School) and I can attest that the inconsolably brash, gold-diggerish nature of Manhattan women never ceases to amaze me. These sad creatures will save every penny they earn to be able to finally bid-snipe that...

    "Wherever You Go, Look Like Joe CEO"

    i think there are multiple elements at work here. - the US is a melting-pot of multiple cultures, which makes it harder for any particular tradition of formal dress to really take hold. this is exacerbated by our relatively short history. - many of these immigrants came from economically...

    The Banker Bag? Wall Streeters please chime in

    +1 Plus I live in the Lower East Side, carrying around one of these bags would be a massive self-cock block to all the girls down here. I live in the west village so same deal..i think there is only about a 15 block radius on the upper east side where these bags wouldnt destroy your chances...

    The Banker Bag? Wall Streeters please chime in

    This is idiotic. Everyone of all ranks use them to carry books to meetings because they're lying around all over the office and it's the simplest and easiest option to stuff a bunch of 80-page books quickly. Only people who don't work in finance have that ridiculous idea that those who do like...

    The Banker Bag? Wall Streeters please chime in

    I don't get the hate, who gives a ****? insecure much? I use my old one as a gym bag. there's no insecurity, I just dont like walking around with a bag that has the logo of an investment bank on it. I also dont carry a bag with a giant Nike Logo or the logo of my favorite baseball team. There...

    The Banker Bag? Wall Streeters please chime in

    They are extremely obnoxious...I have several of them from different events and they sit in the back of the closet. The only one I would consider using is an old Bear Stearns bag just for nostalgia. Generally these are used by 22 year olds who think its cool to advertise that they work in...

    26 years old, pinstripe suits, what's acceptable?

    I think black suit/black shirt is a perfectly acceptable look in Las Vegas and is far more appropriate in that setting then a Navy suit with a white shirt or anything similar. Bradley Cooper did it very well in The Hangover. Also, Michael Douglas recently played a character who went black on...

    Thoughts On Phinneas Cole

    I wear both RLBL and PC suits and like them both. I think the construction of the PC suits is "sturdier" whereas the RLBL's I have tend to be more delicate and not as suitable for regular wear...but it could just be the particular suits i have and may not be representative of the...

    What to wear for MBA interview?

    The only reason to under-dress for n interview is if you are trying to get in as a "non-traditional" candidate. Ie you dont have the grades/test scores but you are trying to play up other more unique factors that fit with your casual dress. That or if someone from your family donated a building...

    Food for thought: What's in a name? Or how we really want to be old $ white people

    The robber barons like Vanderbilt and co. generally were very new money at the time they were doing their erstwhile building of this country. Some of their descendants may be considered old money now, which would not be the case in England or France. Most of the robber barons were definitely...

    Watch Opinion

    After a few days of subtle brainwashing on Paneristi.com and here and after trying both on multiple times I ended up going with the 111. Once i had tried it on a few times the 44mm case didnt seem so big and I like the cleaner face much better. Anyway, thanks for the help!

    Best dressed US president?

    I know it's an old post, but I do have to say that men back then were not nearly as afraid of color as they are today. In fact, men's fashion today allows for much less color selection, at least in suits, then pretty much ever before. It's down to grays, navy, black, and perhaps brown. Light...

    Homer Simpson and Shirt Cuff

    Burns also wears his pants very low for a 104 year old man...prety modern style to that suit. Not sure what Skinner is thinking with that purple shirt/peach tie combo.

    product for medium length, longer on top, guy's hair?

    Hey I recently found a new product for this type of hair. As my hair has gotten a bit longer (prob slightly longer then the guy in the pic) I have had some problems with frizziness. Somebody recomended "hair serum" to me and it works great. Its basically like a bit of oil to add...

    The PAM48 does not hold value very well. You can try to find a used one on the TimeZone sales corner for $3500-4000 to try out first. If you don't like it, you won't take as much of a bath when selling it. Thanks for the tip, I just went on timezone and someone is trying to sell one for 3995...

    I am looking for a watch that I can wear with casual clothing, in the 5k price range, that is simple and classic. I am about to pull the trigger on the below watch...40MM Panerai Luminor Marina. I love the Panerai styling and since I am not a huge guy I like the smaller smaller 40MM case. The...
