    J Crew F/W 09 Discussion

    They'll send you replacement buttons I'm sure. Thanks for the tip. While we are on the topic of this coat, what is the purpose of the internal strap secured to the right armpit? It looks like it is supposed to attach to the button on the deep lower right internal pocket, possibly to secure...

    J Crew F/W 09 Discussion

    Anyone else experienced something similar? Yep. They haven't quite entirely crumbled yet but on the back side of two of the large front buttons it feels like somebody has sanded them with course sandpaper. I just noticed this after putting it through a cold delicate wash. If I run my thumb...

    Alternatives to Alden plain toe black bals?

    I just ordered the Alden 932. I looked around quite a bit and came up with zilch other than the 932 and 935. AE has nothing other than a patent leather model. I couldn't find the Grenson Rose model mentioned on pediwear or ebay. It seems there is extremely low interest in plain toe balmorals as...

    Thick Hair Haircut

    IMO, you need to be thinking in terms of growing it for months, not weeks. Your hair simply can't stand straight out forever. The longer it gets the greater the weight on the hair shaft and at some point it will have to bend. Either you end up w/ long straight hair or anything from curly to fro...

    Ask me about Eyewear!

    In the case of your better designer frames that are "Made in Japan", who is actually doing the manufacturing? My guess would be that there are one or two companies that are actually doing the designing and fabrication and then offer a given designer exclusivity on a particular model...

    Where else to source a Baracuta jacket?

    basically the same as JtG...the only difference is that I think Warrior's no longer has the tartan lining to the edge of zipper, it stops about a couple centimeters shy of the edge. One other minor difference, according to comments on Warrior's site, is that their version lacks an inner...

    Thick Hair Haircut

    What you don't need is a haircut. There is nothing there to work with at the moment unless you want to shave it. Continue to have your sideburns/neck cleaned up regularly by whoever cuts your hair so you don't look like a slob but let it grow until it as at least as long as that tennis...

    Sunglasses MEGATHREAD - all sunglass questions here please

    Zenni 2204 Comes in four colors. Cheap as hell. I bought a couple pairs of these as prescription sunglasses with a 50% brown tint at ~$20 shipped. Most brick and morter optical stores today seem determined to only sell you polarized 80% tint and I really don't like my sunglasses to be that dark...

    stylish eye glasses

    I was hoping somebody might be able to point me towards some frames similar to the Paul Smith PS-437. (Oliver People's Paul Smith site has been broken for some time so that's the only link I could find.) Unfortunately the only store in my city that carries the Paul Smith line also carries a line...

    Luciano Barbera Suit Maker ?

    I recently saw an E-bay auction for a Barbera coat. The seller claimed that Attolini was the manufacturer as evidenced by an internal tag marked 'Grilux SpA', which was stated to be Attolini's distributor. My Barbera suit has this tag as well but I have no idea whether or not the seller is...

    Grenadine silk colors what do you think?

    Please do make some grenadine ties. They are becoming very difficult to find. Ben Silver no longer carries them. J. Press in NYC only had a few left when I called last month. Many men's stores I have contacted don't even know what the term means and believe that I am asking for a tie the color...

    Luciano Barbera Suit Maker ?

    C.C.I.A.A. NAPOLI 495876 Where is the RN # to be found? I looked all over but didn't find anything that resembled a format like this.

    Luciano Barbera Suit Maker ?

    I just picked up a nice, new grey Collezione Sartoriale from ebay so I'm interested in this as well. Can anything be discovered from the product codes on the tag?

    French Dandy Style

    My limited experience is that the difference between Air France stewardesses/flight attendants and every other airline I've flown is, um, eye opening. The Air France stewardesses were not necessarily the most beautiful but even in their uniforms, young and old, they were far and away the most...

    recommend a non-captoe, all-purpose black shoe

    I'd like to find some candidates for a reasonably priced, good looking all-around black shoe. I don't particularly want captoes as the intended usage is more of a wedding/funeral/city night usage rather than business wear but there may be a rare occasion when I would wear them for business. I...
