    What color trousers for this coat?

    I picked up this cashmere Hart Schaffner Mark Gold Trumpeter sport coat for a steal and I can't figure out what to pair it with pants wise. I have a dark brown pair of HSM that looks ok, but it doesn't sit quite right with me. Looking for suggestions on what you would match up to it, trouser...

    Shoes - my humble collection

    I started buying nice shoes about a year ago, I'm hooked. Front: AE Byrons, AE Fifth Avenue, AE McAllister Back: J&M sneakers, J&M Dobson The more I look at and wear the AE's, the J&Ms fall further out of my rotation. Plus they aren't holding up very well, the insole is starting to tear...

    Dry cleaners hangers staining pants...

    I've had three pairs of trousers go bad from repeated trips to the cleaners. I wear them weekly to bi-weekly and have them cleaned every fourth wear or so. The reason the stain is directly attributed to the sticky cardboard hanger they place them on. There is a quite noticeable discoloration...

    Pic request - AE Fifth/Park Avenue

    I'd like to see a pair of well cared for AE Fifth Avenue or Park Avenue shoes in brown burnished calf. I'm interested to see how these shine up and look after the "new" wears off. Can anyone accommodate?

    Should laces pull sides to meet together on balmorals?

    I have a pair of AE McAllisters and them straight laced, (European). I can't get them tight enough to make the two sides of the vamp meet to totally cover up the tongue and under lacing. They stay apart about a quarter inch or so. The shoes fit great everywhere else, and I don't see how stepping...

    Trying to decide my next Allen Edmonds purchase...

    I'm about to order a new pair of AE's. I currently own a pair of Byrons in black, and McAllisters in walnut. I also have a pair of brown J&Ms that are starting to show some wear. I have a short list, but I can't decide what to go with. I'm bored, so I'll lay out my reasons. I'm going with a...

    Allen Edmonds last, finding the right one.

    I'm looking to buy another pair of AE shoes. I currently own a pair of Mcallister's in 12E. I went with E because I also have a pair of Byron's in 12D that are way too tight on my pinky toe. The 12E fits great around my toes and arch, but is quite roomy in the heel. I understand the Byron is a...

    Allen Edmonds New Shoe Care??

    I have a new pair of Allen Edmonds McAllisters in Walnut Calf on the way, and I'd like to be prepared to care for them as I should. Should I treat them or do anything before I start wearing them? I would like to buy some cream or polish to keep them looking good, but I've never used more than a...

    How can I win at Business Casual?

    I work in an office, your typical American cubicle farm blessed with the "business casual" dress code. The office is in Central Florida, to give you an idea of climate. I'd love to wear sport coats and sweaters, but I would literally keel over from heat exhaustion on the ride to work and a walk...

    Set on Allen Edmonds, should I look at others?

    I'm about to buy a pair of Allen Edmonds McAllister wingtips in brown. I've recently been lusting for these. I'm hoping to catch them on sale during Nordstrom's sale beginning on the 17th. Am I selling myself short here not considering other makers? I'm not too familiar with good shoes. My best...
