    My first 'real' suit. Would appreciate input!

    Too bad this is from Gilt, since their return policy blows... Like phoenixrecon said, it's gonna cost you at least $100, and probably closer to $150, to get this suit anywhere near wearable. It doesn't really flatter you at all -- sleeves (length + width) / waist (everywhere) / back...

    How do you carry your cash and cards?

    i switch around between clips / bands / bi-folds, but now i go with a front pocket wallet for every-day use -- enough for license, 2-3 cards and a few bills. not the prettiest / most well constructed, but it works.

    Slim fit suits?

    Well i'm looking to spend up to 300 with shirt and tie and I want something of half-decent quality that won't look that cheap, which the stockhomme one sort of does in person. Honestly, if this is just for prom, I wouldn't break the bank on a suit -- you won't get that much utility out of a...

    Question about sleeve length

    You shouldn't expect an off-the-rack shirt to fit you perfectly; if your watch is showing entirely with your arms at your side, it sounds like you'd want to go with the 39/40. Expect the shirt to shrink a little after you wash it too (unless you're doing the whole cold water wash thing). I...

    Having a tux custom tailored?

    I got a Thick as Thieves tux and was very happy with it. Midnight blue, unlined, peak lapels. Certainly nicer than anything I could find OTR in that price range. You're not going to find true RLBL quality/styling for the discount that you're seeking. Just contact Jason @ Thick as Thieves & tell...

    I'm getting married - what to wear?

    Well, the wedding will be about 2pm, but I will be wearing it all day from then. It will be quite formal, as in very old church etc. but there will be a few quicky things at meal/reception. I'm not sure if I have answered that correctly, but def 3 piece. I'd say something like this if you're...

    Hickey suits on Gilt; worth the $$$?

    Hmmm I'm seeing apparently different Hickey suits on Gilt. One is 11" rise, 9" leg opening for a size 40, the other is a 10" rise, 8.25" opening. I thought they were slim all across the board... the first measurement doesn't seem slim at all. Are Gilt measurements to be trusted? I wouldn't...

    Pick one of these ties for my groomsmen?

    For serious, though: Why pink or lilac with charcoal suits? If you were doing navy suits, I could understand the desire for pastels. But charcoal doesn't harmonize especially well with pinks and purples. A lot of folks out there will tell you otherwise, but they're wrong. I have yet to see a...

    Pick one of these ties for my groomsmen?

    My wedding's coming up in a few months; I've fought off the bride's/family's requests for matching tuxes and instructed my groomsmen to wear their own charcoal suits. I'll be supplying them with MOP cufflinks and white pocket squares from Kent Wang to complete the ensemble. I know how bleh...

    Hickey suits on Gilt; worth the $$$?

    I'm normally a S jacket length but hopped on the R because, frankly, those 36S sizes were gone the second I signed in yesterday and I wanted one regardless. Anybody know the jacket length difference between the two (and if there are any other differences)?

    Suits for groom + groomsmen on a budget -- MTM or OTR (34/36S nightmare)?

    While reading your post I got confused by some things. You first say that the bad part about letting the groomsmen choose is that the colors won't match exactly, but later on you say that the colors don't have to match exactly. Also, the dude who is a 36 is easy to fit because he has 18 inch...

    Suits for groom + groomsmen on a budget -- MTM or OTR (34/36S nightmare)?

    Maybe this is slightly off topic, but the "parental units" asking your friends to significantly spend money over and beyond a wedding gift is a little presumptuous. If they are footing the bill for the clothes - fine. I hope you are making it VERY clear to the people you are having buy very...

    Suits for groom + groomsmen on a budget -- MTM or OTR (34/36S nightmare)?

    Tell me about it. I wanted to just tell them: "wear a dark grey/charcoal suit" and be done with it. Black is probably the easiest for them to get away with (I'll wear a different color), but I know how you all feel about black :P The ties and pocket squares will match. Isn't that...

    Suits for groom + groomsmen on a budget -- MTM or OTR (34/36S nightmare)?

    To make a long story short, I'm getting married in a few months and am going through the whole fiasco of suiting myself and my groomsmen. I know most of you on this board are against the whole "matchy-matchy" thing of the modern day wedding -- my fiance and I aren't too for it either, but...

    Please critique my Nialma shirt?

    Thanks for all the feedback -- for those of your wondering, it's one of NiAlma's base styles (cheapest). The fabric feels good and the craftsmanship was superb, no loose threads anywhere. I ordered on a Tuesday morning and got my test shirt on a Saturday. I washed the shirt twice before...

    Please critique my Nialma shirt?

    Should my test shirt have darts on the back -- I understand it's a test shirt and all... did others receiving NiAlma shirts have darts on their test shirts too?

    Please critique my Nialma shirt?

    New to the world of online MTM and just got my first NiAlma test shirt in the mail and would like some feedback -- no idea if I took measurements correctly or what a well-fitted shirt is supposed to be like, so any feedback is helpful (I know neck/wrist feel a little tight right now, sleeves may...

    Thick as Thieves ONLINE

    Just got my first TaT suit back -- as always, self measuring is a work in progress. Pics below... any thoughts? Got a charcoal 2-button conservative cut, and the quality is stellar. I definitely want another TaT suit soon!
