    Do you carry cash?

    I'm carrying less cash these days, but I still don't feel comfortable carrying less than US$20 for random events like thanking a stranger for helping you out of a jam or realizing too late that a business doesn't take cards. How many of you have abandoned carrying cash completely?

    Swann Paris MTM Shirts

    Does anyone have experience with Swann? I've only used Proper Cloth for MTM shirts. Swann has some interesting collars I'd like to try.

    Meta: Time to split the CM forum into separate parts?

    After slogging masochistically through the oxfords/casual threads and the “is the tie dead” threads, and “CM without standing out threads”, I’ve concluded that SF’s binary split into CM and SWD is driving CM into a place of either tiresome argument threads about style orthodoxy, or fandom...

    MTM Shoes remote-fitted using a foam foot mold

    I stumbled on the website for Bondeno Shoes. The owner is SF member @charlesbondeno. Their measuring method for MTM is to send you a box with a foam mold into which you put your feet: "Our shoes and boots mold to your feet by using your exact left and right foot shape, volume, and fitting...

    You know you're a tryhard when...

    I was inspired to start this thread by the Cool vs. Stylish and Are Neckties Going To Go The Way Of Bowties? threads. The latter to the extent it veered into discussion of the slow death of CM generally. Tryhard != cool, obviously. The question for discussion is whether it is possible to...

    Have I found the ultimate boxer briefs?

    Gentlemen, On the prosaic subject of boxer briefs: I think I've found the holy grail in an unexpected place - Duluth Trading Company's extra long "Buck Naked" boxer briefs. I'm not a shill. Just a guy who is fed up with crappy underwear. I'm sure we can all relate to the frustration...

    Hidden Trouser Pockets

    I recently had some MTM odd trousers made by Q Clothier in Dallas. I thought they did a lovely job, and am one happy customer. One surprise they added (I didn't request it) was a roomy hidden trouser pocket, accessible right along the waistline, as shown below. My fingers have slid into the...

    Ties thin at the middle but with a wide front blade

    Guys, forgive me if I don't know the correct vocabulary. My favorite tie shape is one that is narrow in the middle, but with a wide front blade. The result being that there is a small four-in-hand knot, but a wide blade at the bottom. I particularly like those with big geometric patterns. I...

    Heavy smartphones and suits/sports jackets

    Along with many of my presbyopic baby boomer friends, I've been forced to move to a big ol' phablet, in my case a Nexus 6. Can't see a thing on a little screen. This is not a lightweight device. If I attempt to carry it in the breast pocket of a suit/sports jacket it destroys the jacket's...

    MTM or Bespoke Tweed Jacket Advice, budget $1,000

    I want to commission a black & white herringbone, peak-lapel, single-breasted tweed jacket. English cut: hard structured jacket with waist suppression. My budget is $1,000. So I know what I want, I just don't know how to accomplish it. I live in Dallas. From my research, there are no tailors...

    Who Makes Quality Slippers?

    My house has stained concrete floors. They are hard and cold. Therefore, I wear slippers indoors year-round. Problem is, my slippers wear out in no time. The heel padding is destroyed in a matter of weeks, and the slipper then provides no padding against the hard floor. Can anyone recommend a...

    Body Piercing: Out of Style?

    I'm seeing fewer pierced folks running around these days. Has it gone out of fashion?

    You know you're a fop when...

    How can you tell when your interest in dressing well has descended into the depths of foppery? At what point do you belong in The Scarlet Pimpernel? Are there telltale signs of this affliction? Is this something one can determine for oneself, or must you wait until your friends stage an...

    How do you hang your pants?

    Forgive me if this has been covered in prior threads. Do you guys prefer to hang your pants folded over on a hanger or hanging vertically on one of those hangers that pinches the pants at or near the cuff. I don't know what the technical name of the latter hanger is. I would think there are...
