    slubby, distressed t-shirts

    Good recs for a nice slubby, distressed t-shirt? This one's a little over the top: http://www.alternativeapparel.com/Sh...er=Y&Color=VI#

    NY: Which Manhattan neighborhood?

    Moving to Manhattan to start a new job soon. Job location is near the SE corner of Central Park, and I expect to work a lot of hours (perhaps 70-80). Budget is around $4k for a two bedroom. I am trying to weigh between having a short commute (i.e. living in Midtown) vs. having a longer commute...

    Unemployment eligibility -- who has been there?

    I've accepted a job offer to begin in September and am planning to leave my job in mid-to-late July. Due to the nature of the work at my current firm, I feel like it is necessary to tell them now that I am leaving. If I tell them, there is probably some risk that they ask me to leave...

    Dress code riddle: 'Formal cocktail attire'

    I am attending a ball tomorrow that describes its dress code as 'formal cocktail attire.' I am planning to wear traditional black tie, (SBPL tuxedo, pique-front turn-down shirt with studs, etc.) but I am wondering if I will be in the minority. The word 'cocktail' is a bit frightening--I can...

    Formal shirts without studs?

    My understanding is that classic formal shirts have a pique or pleated front and visible onyx studs. In the latest bond movie, Daniel Craig wears a formal shirt with neither of these characteristics: http://blogs.gelman.gwu.edu/blogs/ec...ino-royale.jpg The shirt seems to have neither a pique or...

    What do you think of this Tuxedo?

    I know we have discussed the Wizard of Aahs before, but I have not seen this model discussed. Seems like a good deal for a classic-looking, canvassed tuxedo. So what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/VALENTINO-MENS-1...713.m153.l1262

    NEW Borrelli chocolate suede monks (10.5 / 43.5)

    I bought these for myself, but I usually wear an E width and these are just a little tight. I wish they fit because I think they really look great. I do not know the maker, but have heard Sutor has manufactured for Borrelli in the past. These are new and the soles are pristine, but there are...

    Trillions of dollars of "wealth" evaporate in one weekend...

    I hope you are short; this will be messy. Even Ben B. dropping emergency cash out of his helicopter cannot save Average Joe's 401k. (Even with 100bps of reckless abandonment.) Meanwhile, the volatility sharks eat the minnows and some of the smaller sharks... Discuss.

    IC: Nudie Regular Ralf Dry Selvage 32x34

    Just putting a feeler out. I bought these a few months back and have worn them several times, but I started hitting the gym hard and my quads have grown a bit too much to fit in them comfortably. Show very few signs of wear and have never been washed. Any interest out there?

    What do you think of this formal wear?

    Is piping instead of a full grosgrain lapel strange?

    Critique my Jantzen #3,000,001

    Was hoping everyone could give me a quick look and provide some feedback. By the way, the fabric on this shirt is incredible. As nice as the fabric I have seen on Borelli, etc. Current measurements: Length:30 Chest: 42 Waist: 32 Hip: 34.5 Shoulder: 21 Sleeve length: 34.5 Neck: 15.5 Wrist size...

    Is this the right size? (pics)

    I picked up a Corneliani off STP the other day, but I'm not sure the fit is very good. This is a size 52 and I usually wear a 41 US. The shoulders seem to fit pretty snug, but the chest and particularly waist have a ton of room. Now I've heard that the chest and waist can be dealt with by a...

    Shoddy tailoring?

    I was looking for a good tailor in Boston, and several past threads seemed to suggest that Rizzo's in Harvard Square was very good. I dropped a pair of Incotex trousers off there last week for a relatively simple operation (take in the waist, hem the legs). I picked up my trousers today and was...

    FS: NEW Mantellassi Chocolate Brown Boot, 11D

    Never worn, new in box. Purchased for $150 but don't fit. Will accept any offer that covers what I paid plus shipping, box, paypal fees, etc. Poor college student so a little cash for my trouble would be nice too. I can still return these, but they were a great deal so I thought I would give...

    Which boots to keep? Mantellassi or Lidfort

    First, apologies for my poor shoe photography. It's tough to shoot proper shoe Appreciation when there's a plastic tie connecting the shoes. For a while I've been looking for some casual suede ankle boots for the fall that I could wear with jeans and maybe the occasional chino. I stopped by FB today...

    AG raw denim...

    I stopped in the AG jeans store the other day. They have a new cut called the Protoge, which is like a thin straight leg (liked it alot). Anyway, the salesperson showed me a pair of what he called "one-wash raw denim". They were not stiff like the raw denim that is discussed on this...

    this is what $260 of shoes looks like...

    Well, after joining style forum I realized I should be buying some decent shoes rather than the crap I was buying before. I have found some pretty good deals lately, getting 4 pairs of new shoes for a total of $260. Pretty damn good deal if you ask me. From the left: Cole Haan Loafer AE Linden...
