    MTM (Proper Cloth) shirt advice

    I went back to Proper Cloth with this feedback and made some more changes, but the shirt actually fits worse now. I think it's time to just go back to off the rack, which I'm fine with. I'm looking for a non-iron shirt that I can machine wash, between $100-200. Brooks Brothers Milano in 16/35...

    Thoughts on J.Crew Ludlow jacket fit?

    It's apples an oranges, but Mr. Ned suits are bespoke and start at $950. It would be a big stretch for my budget, so seeing how that Ludlow jacket fit was a very pleasant surprise. That's why I was especially curious what you all would think. The other reason I tried on that jacket is that I'll...

    Thoughts on J.Crew Ludlow jacket fit?

    Please ignore the shorts. In a few months I'll be in the market for an interview suit and I was planning to really, really stretch the budget and go with Mr. Ned (NYC). My justification was that nothing else really quite fits. I was in a J.Crew today, though, and tried on this Ludlow jacket...

    A few specific black tie questions

    All makes sense, thanks. Becnal - sorry, I had meant a physical store rather than eBay, or at least somewhere where returns would be more straightforward. Had to look up the difference between oxfords and derbies but I also prefer the former and think that they look more formal. Good call...

    A few specific black tie questions

    Great, thanks for the advice. Any recommendations for stores where I might be able to pick up a bow tie, cummerbund +/- shirt? Also, if I don't need any of this stuff until later in the fall, do you think it would be a good idea to wait for any labor day sales? I was planning to do that, but...

    A few specific black tie questions

    I'm in my mid-twenties and in a few months will attend the first of what will probably be a series of weddings. This one's "black tie optional," but I figure I might as well just bite the bullet now and assemble a reasonable black tie wardrobe to wear for the next few years. As a student I'm on...

    The (hopefully) definitive thread on NYC tailors

    Another post in favor of Cardelino's. Pedro is very friendly, patient and knowledgeable and I have been very happy with his work. The prices are fair and his hours and location are great, too.

    What to tell a tailor when altering a suit?

    I need to buy a suit for grad school interviews and hope to pick something up for cheap(er) this weekend thanks to Columbus day. My plan is pretty much to go to Macy's and find something that fits well in the $300 - $600 range (feel free to offer a better idea if you have one). I'm in NYC, so...

    Non-iron, slim fit dress shirt that fits?

    I'm having a very hard time finding dress shirts that fit well. My current go-tos are a bunch of BB slim-fit non-irons, size 17/35. What I like about them: - they look great without any ironing (I've tried Men's Warehouse non-irons and they don't look nearly as good) - I bought 6 shirts during...
