    Extreme Music (Black Metal, Noise, Grind etc)

    I'm rather partial to Darkspace, myself. Not the sort of thing you can listen to for too long, but rather good. Dark 1.1 The first two minutes are supposed to be quiet; don't crank up the volume unless you fancy blown out speakers around 2:04. Also, though not precisely noise, Current 93...

    Martegani: The exotic triple

    Proof that quality materials does not equal quality product... I did lol at the camo effect, though... "For dandified hunters and fashion-conscious jungle insurgents! Look your best without being seen at all!"

    Purchases you regret?

    An online-MTM suit. Never again. I asked for fully canvassed, but the end product had no interfacing of any kind. In fact, considering the feel of the fabric, it may have actually been made of canvas... Anyway, despite careful measuring based on a suit with good fit, the pants were too wide...

    Help with an orphaned suit coat?

    You could probably wear the jacket from the black suit on it's own without it looking too bad (indeed, considering the disdain often directed towards black suits around here, it may be best that the jacket was orphaned). The pinstripe jacket, eh, not so much. Pinstriped fabrics aren't really...

    Frock coats

    The frock coat has been largely out of use for the last century or so, but it's similar enough to a modern overcoat that you probably wouldn't seem too strange wearing one. While you might attract a few stares, I doubt the average person on the street would know exactly why they are staring.

    Zegna Suit: Should I go for it?

    What do you think of this suit, is it authentic, and more imporantly, is it worth the asking price? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123 Thanks!

    Public Enemies : the wardrobe

    Agreed. I definitely had the urge to go out and buy a DB suit after watching the movie. I too had that urge... and gave in to its bank-account slaying call. Will post pics as soon as I can find a suitable fedora.

    Public Enemies - Out today!

    I'm not certain as to the make of the gun, but as for the two triggers, pulling the rear trigger decreases the trigger pull weight of the forward trigger, so that the gun may be fired with less pressure on the trigger. This increases accuracy, as the lower trigger pull weight prevents the...

    Do you have a healthy mix of two button AND three button suits?

    Thus far, I have only worn two button suits, but am increasingly tempted to add a 3B to my wardrobe.

    Dream Clothing

    One more vote for John Lobbs... alternately, a bespoke suit from Huntsman. Going from LA to London for a single suit defintely falls into the "needs an unlimited budget" category...

    Don't really like slim-fit dress shirts

    Not particularly, no. The way I see it, if you're thin enough to get away with slim-fit, do it. I'm yet to meet a full cut shirt that doesn't make the wearer look fat, regardless of their actual physique.

    Poll: Which shoe is more versatile?

    While I personally cast my vote for the aesthetics of the Burbank, as far as versatility is concerned, the Evanston is the safeste choice. It will more than suffice for all of the occasions you listed without even the slightest chance of seeming out-of-place.

    Best Value Polarized Sunglasses

    I got a pair of Joseph Abboud polarized sunglasses at Off Fifth for 75$ a few months back. Granted, they were on deep discount, and they do make me look a bit like Agent Smith from the Matrix, but that's not entirely bad...

    Opinion of this Suit and Look?

    I'm not sure I would go with such narrow peak lapels. Looks a bit clownish IMHO... Otherwise, though the sleeves could benefit from being a half inch shorter, the fit isn't too bad, except that the lapels seem to stand out a bit from his chest...

    Utter fail at eBay

    Welcome to my world... I recently (a few months ago) e-bayed a three piece suit in a tan pinstripe (the designer escapes my recolection), only to find that someone had obviously put it through a washing machine / dryer. The thing was beautiful in the photo, but in person, the puckering at the...

    Does this suit fit?

    I'd say the overall fit is good (even showing a bit of cuff ). The lower portions of the jacket look a bit tight, but that's probably just the result of buttoning the lower button. Do you have any photos with only the top button done up?

    Name pre-SF regrettable purchases.

    Well, you can count me among Kenneth Cole's many victims. In this case, a whole closet full of shirts acquired over my freshman year of college, as well as a belt that fell apart about 3 months after purchase. Fortunately, I never did buy any of his infamous square-toe shoes... However, my...

    Who here does not do the jacket/jeans look?

    I can say, with more than a small degree of pride, that I have never once in my life worn a pair of jeans. To me, the argument that jeans are good because you can do things in them which would otherwise mess up one's clothes without it showing is like saying that you should drive a Ford Taurus...

    Please recommend a wallet

    I've been using a Tumi wallet like this one for the past six months and it has served me quite well. I haven't had it long enough to really comment on its durability, but thus far it's showing no signs of wear...
