    Shortening ties

    How do you shorten a tie? Assume a run of the mill lined tie, and no alteration to the thickness in the middle - just chopping off the small end. Is it just a matter of taking out the holding stitch a few inches from the end, unfolding a bit, chopping off and re-hemming? Or is there more to it?

    Lands' End ties and... pocket squares?

    I've been watching the Lands' End web site as they roll out some new spring stuff. Finally, there are some good solid ties that are not upside-down sock style. The ties page now makes a bigger deal of their ties being hand-stitched. They are also cut on the proper bias. Can anyone here who has...

    The solid gray suit

    OK. There are about a gazillion posts here advising the purchase of a solid gray suit, and I know I need one or two. But where do people here recommend obtaining said suit, when it's hard to find at the usual discount sources? Ideally, I'm looking for something relatively slim and...

    Alterations recommendation in Madison, Wis.?

    Can anyone recommend an alterations tailor in Madison, Wisconsin, or the surrounding area? Specifically, who would you trust to alter an Oxxford? I might drive to Milwaukee but would prefer not to go all the way to Chicago. Thanks!

    Overlapping cuff buttons

    This has got to be the most pedantic style question I've ever thought of, but should overlapping jacket cuff buttons be angled toward the shoulder or the wrist? Or is the arrangement an indication of the wearer's mood? Inquiring minds and all that.

    I just got a pair of the Alfred Sargent suede chelsea boots on overstock at Lands' End. They run a full size large - I am a 10 D in Allen Edmonds and the size 9 fit me perfectly. They're really nice boots for $160 (from about $300). Goodyear welted, seems to be solid construciton. I'm not...

    MTM shirt alternatives with good delivery times?

    Just got my first Lands' End MTM shirt. It fits better than most of my shirts, and I think as soon as I reorder with the skinniest measurements they offer and lengthen the sleeves a bit, I'll have a decent fit. Still overly large armholes, but everything else is pretty close. Before I order...

    Allen Edmonds, insteps, insoles

    I recently bought my first and second pairs of Allen Edmonds lace-up shoes, and they're confusing me and my feet. I have high insteps/arches, which isn't helping and until now prevented me from wearing lace-up dress shoes at all. First was pair of chestnut Cliftons. I love the style, but...

    Introduction, and eBay woes

    Hi. I've been lurking for a while and figured I would chime in, not only because I have plenty of questions but also because my wallet stops wincing when I'm typing instead of looking through online catalogs. Recently, I've been taking advantage of eBay, which is a great way to get clothing of...
